Codguy did not claim PGrens to be mainline infantry at all. Neither did he say anything about spamming.
No dude, only thing that matters is what Vipper understood. Whatever point you wanna make is irrelevant, he guides the discussion now.
I think the current perspective on PGrens is heavily scewed due to cheap Osttruppen and Ost T1 skip that frees a lot of MP to get PGrens very early.
Fixing Ost T1 might already go a long way.
That patch that everyone cites as either "pre-patch Pgrens too weak " or claim to be the alleged megabuff is 1,5 years old. We have seen a lot of other metas since then and PGrens were usually not the issue. If they were the main issue, then we should have seen this for the last one and a half years. Yet it is only recently that they are discussed about.
To me that's a clear sign that the problems lie elsewhere.
The problem was still there, but was overshadowed by everyone playing 24/7 Grand Offensive fusiliers into Command Tiger. With Ostheer becoming the meta now that heavy tank meta died, Pgrens stick out.
