The biggest issue is that what kept Gren's in the game was good scaling because their starting received accuracy + received accuracy from vet made them have more survability against small arms than their other basic counterparts.
Gren Rec Acc at Vet 3: 0.7007, effective health is 456
Riflemen Rec Acc at Vet 3: 0.59752, effective health is 669
Conscript Rec Acc at Vet 3: .6522, effective health is 735
Volks Rec Acc at Vet 5: 0.81, effective health is 493
This results in basic Axis infantry falling apart later into the game because the superior scaling it once relied to remain effective is now gone. Resulting in Allied basic
infantry being more resistant not only to small arms fire but explosives as well.
poor poor lmg grens cant kill vet 3 stuff at vet 3
poor poor vet 5 volks dont scale well
conscripts and rifles finally dont die like flies at
vet 3
