It is not the fact that I would like to grenspam. The fact, that they have no real ways to help deal with survivability and maintaining ground.
They are not supposed to, not on their own.
It is more fair in this aspect, having something different than adding simply 5 men which many were not too happy about. Isn't this aspect in some ways better since it is different and not a copycat of UKF "bolster squad"?
How is it fair?
You have best team weapons support(and late game best anti infantry support in form of brummbar that annihilates blobs and single units alike in 2 shots), best sniper, best(earliest) reinforce halftruck.
The only thing ost doesn't have best here is the actual mainline inf and forward healing, because they would be batshit insane if they did.
Having still 4 man and to them give a little edge more of surviving by giving 2 or 3 grens armour would help in someway maintain their loses and above all maintain consistent firepower. Maybe for Pzgrens also but should cost slightly more ammo.
No, it would do absolutely nothing, because its not infantry that kills them.
UKF Tommies can arguably be considered a counterpart to grens a lot better in comparison although grens have snare. Tommies overall have excelling survivability and firepower in terms of AI. Cuz of chain of upgrades that can be acquired by them. Sandbags and cover bonus is a huge deal.
Tommies are much more expensive and require quite hefty fuel and muni investment. In late game each tommy squad sits on 110 muni worth of upgrades on top of already paying 50+ fuel to be in that state.
And it is NOT cover bonus, they have PENALTY out of cover, not bonus in cover. They are weaker outside of cover, not stronger in it - sappers have cover bonus at vet1 for stens.
If to make for the sake of this game diverse instead of simply giving Wehr units additional man. Why not give the ability to purchase armour (should be worse armour than Shocks, but still something) in order to give them a better chance. It is not a bad idea!
Because, again, it is not only a bad idea, it doesn't help then in any way in late game, because its not small arms that kill them fast by that time.
It is fair and balanced. Better than giving 5 man because Brits already need it in someway, 5 man since they do not have an elite unit. Wehrmacht needs however, the ability to hold their firepower maintenance more rather than losing 25% of it easily per model. That is why
No, it is not.
If it was, it would already be implemented.
That horse is dead for over 3 years now, you're late to the party.
Every possible implementation of that was already discussed in the past and each time it was equally bad idea.
Grens are backbone of ost army, but they are NOT carry of that army, support weapons and vehicles are.
