Once rocket artillery starts to roll out, 5 man grens the only viable ostheer infantry.
That´s it.
You need 5 man grens, simply so they don´t die in a rocket artillery barrage.
That's one of the most disgusting thing I don't like in COH2.
Back in vCOH Calliope isn't that common, nebels and walking stuka never being squad deleting machine. Only Brit 25 pounder creeping barrage being crazy OP. COH1 Wehrmarct having medic bunker zombie then losing vetted squad isn't that frustrating.
You played hard, micro hard, babysitting your troops and finally rewarded having them vet 3. Then got one click wiped by a goddamn rocket, literally disgusting. And rocket artillery happens in every single game, walking stuka, land mattress, katyusha, calliope, panzerwerfers. Bullshit.
