Same even if they changed the units in name only, I'd be happy.

Yeah I agree

Same goes for pgrens and even fussiliers

Penals are ok. With AT upgrade they are easy prey for axis infantry.

They are much worse because they can burst down anything that's not a heavy tank in a single volley while PTRS whatever will just do chip damage.

Chip dmg at the same range as a tank maingun (40 range) though. You can kite zooks and shreks with good reverse micro on a tank - hitting them whilst they cant fire (35 range).

Takes some skill but its still an advantage that people ignore.

In 4v4 its all a mess though and I say that as a mainly 4v4 player.

These days it seems that every OKW player spams Pzfussies and every Ost tries to go Pzgrens into Shrek blob with Brumbar.

Penals are better than they were but once they have PTRS's they are simply eaten alive by enemy infantry.

I think if penals were more relevant in the AI department in the mid/late game then more people would no give them PTRS. At the moment they are eaten alive by G43 Pzfussies so you may as well give them AT in the hope they can be of some use.
