To Puppetmaster: but I've never seen a molotov do more than that on a full hp mg42 or any other german squad.
Well, tbh never saw a rifle grenade killing an entire 6 men maxim squad untill you posted that video, so I saw it's possible. Same thing with molotov. Never believed it until saw it. And that mg42 squad was as clumped as the maxim squad in your video. Couldn't believe it how fast they died.
I guess bad luck is a possibility for both factions.
Main problem in insta wiping squads from the range.
You put molotov and rifle nade in one row. I think molotov throwing range should be same with rifle nade. So then they will be equivalent, without long time burning/damaging of course, that mean you can wipe Mg42 crew insta fast and from range with no risk and loses.
Rifle nade shouldn't kill more than 2 man in infantry and 3 man in support team squads + infantry don't taking damage on the retreat after they almost wiped by another rifle nade.
Squad wipe problem solved.
