From my perspective those grenades are just weird. Sometimes they just nuke whole squads sometimes they just barely give them a scratch.

And just how weak is the partisan grenade?

I believe it should be the same as guards.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

The position of the explosion does not matter the position of the unit throwing the grenades does. If the cover is between the unit throwing the grenade and the target cover bonus apply else it does not.

that makes sense. can you elaborate if that actually works per entity or for the whole squad? sometimes not all squad members on the receiving end are actually behind cover with respect to the model that throws the grenade, so is the DR calculated individually for each entity (as it is the case for small arms i belive) or doesn't it matter as long as the center (whereever that is) of the squad is behind cover?

Is the grens rg in good spot? Doesn't seem special as it has to deal with more units per squad?

Its special as it's a long range grenade that allows the long rang squad to fight at long range even if the enemy is in cover at long range because the long range of the grenade means the long range squad does not have to get into close range which is really good because grens are not a close range squad they are actually a long range squad.

Isn't rifle grenade just different because it explodes on impact. I mean, aren't those timed grenades calculated differently (from the place they explode perspective rather than from the perspective of the squad throwing them)?

I play 1v1

Should be per entity as small arm fire.
