State of G43 Grens

Been playing Elite Troops again, and losing heavily. I try establishing a munition farm early for my lead 2-3 Grens with MG42/MG42 (or 1x Mortar), and Grens simply don't have enough DPS to take on unvetted mainline infantry.

Penals will rip 4 man G43 Grens to shreds.

7/6 man cons rip vetted G43 Grens to shreds.

US Infantry rips vetted G43 Grens to shreds.

UKF infantry rips G43 Grens to shreds even before bolster.

I really hate being locked into 2/3 Doctrines (VSL, Strategic, Ostruppen) in order to be competitive.

And honestly, the stun grenade, for what it is, is not good enough. I wish it had a feature where if the enemy retreats, it still slows them for 2-3 seconds so if you do ambush a unit with it with Stormtroopers, they can't easily just run away without unit loss.

Use G43 on PANZERGRENS, they are chads, grens are incels in general.

On PGs G43 make them really nice, even in late game. Considering you will be getting buffs from armor and you will be able to engage at mid and somewhat long range.

With or without G43., Granadiers need help of the support weapons to be Effective. or their own must be have superior cover and be stationary.
rifle granade is mandatory.

riflemen in general are terrible attacking, Use Pzgrandiers/storm troppers/assault granadiers for that.

This is in 2v2,3v3,4v4

I just make 4 grenadiers, nothing else, give them g43 and blob them in a matter so i flank the enemy position.

Then i just tier 4 and grenadiers get so insanely cost effiecient cause of the tier 4 bonus.

But grens die so easily you say. That is because they need vet fast and the fastest way to get vet is by spamming riflegrenades and fausting enemy vehicles.

I once fausted a Brit lightvehicle and then i proceeded to hit it from behind by my 4 grens with g43 AND it died so fast and good vet too.

If you feel your grens are useless, then you are not blobbing them enough!

Peace out

I would recommend posting a replay and requesting a review! Even if it's a short 10 minute game where you lost decisively it can still be helpful.

Use the doctrine that has camouflage. Learn to ambush with stealth grens, or even stealth pgrens. Still very viable commander, just expect that your ammunition use will be very heavy on upgrades...

It's not a great upgrade atm but if these 2 units shred your G43 grens you are doing something wrong I am afraid, like getting yourself completely outnumbered or not using their weapon profile design at all

It one had and it was obviously Op, so it was removed
