I get your point.
I'm not sure if Total DPS of Cons = Total DPS of Grens. Otherwise Cons would always win against Grens at any range just because Cons have more EHP.
Can you (or anybody?) provide link to some reliable source of unit stats so I could double-check it?
And Oorah is quite useless for chasing as it removes shooting on the move.
I remembered that DPS of cons close to Grens in close range, but Grens are far better in long range. That's from one of Mr. Smith's thread in this forum about the last Winter update.
Also, a LMG42 equiped Grenadier has at least 50% firepower from the MG, so lose one/two models are not losing too much firepower.
Finally, don't try to argue with those without a playercard. You don't even know if he plays the game or just a Lv.1 rookie.
