Gren 42 and G43 combo

hmmm, well Ive played those who tried to blob ppsh cons. Trust me, its nowhere near as difficult to fight as shrek blobs or rifle blobs. Which are really the only true blob threats. Maybe I shouldn't say gren vet is weak, its more like grens are the weakest of the mainline infantry in terms of durability. Idk its just whenever I play ostheer, it feels like the whole army is so fragile and collapses so easily with one good flank or light vehicle rush. Grens and pgrens aren't that good. Its all snipers, mgs and ostruppen. It feels like every time I try to use grenadiers vs americans or british that I'm just wasting my time and should just go build ostruppen, dont even think about pgrens other than for shrecks. So I think being able to buy g43 and lmg42 isn't that bad, I'd atleast want to test it out.

Cons don't have much firepower, but they are more easily kept alive and trade very efficiently and absorb well, when you get them to vet 3. Their purpose to rush into the weak spots on the front and throw molotovs and AT nades while tanks and support crews follow up. I'd prefer they not have that increased +9% received acc at vet 0 though.

How can you remember times when grens would beat guards, but not remember the several nerfs to g43s and lmg42s since they removed the possibility of being able to buy both.

Even with g43s and lmg42 thats still less firepower than western allies when dual equipping. I don't see the issue considering grens are very fragile and have weak veterancy.

Why dont they just unlock conscripts ppsh with t3? And replace ppsh in doctrine with dp28 for like 40 muni. Vet 3 ppsh cons are pretty good because they are so tanky.

Pretty sure upgraded PFs should beat Rifles with one BAR at range 20. PFs will have very slightly higher DPS while having a man over Rifles in durability while Rifles will have 0.03 better target size, unless the benefit of having more DPS based in one individual is one I am underestimating and is that much better over PFs' starting to lose more DPS after the 4 man dies. Any closer and the PFs should definitely just wreck the BAR Rifles.
