I see some shit suggestions here.
Some "ostheer needs tech cost for grenades"
-that's the cost of T2 tech in the HQ.
I for one don't appreciate the suggestion that Ostheer is just weaker in the early game and that's the way they should be. It's rather shitty to have to stare at my screen for the first fifteen minutes clenching my butthole so I don't shit myself and microing at 200 apm just to stay alive against an aggressive USF or Soviet opponent. Sure, I can do it, but I don't want to die of a heart attack at my young age.
Katitof(Dullahan?) said that Ostheer relies on their support weapons to win. While that may be true for strats that Hans uses where he gets 3 PaK guns, 2 Stug Es and waits for a tiger, it isn't always the case. If Ostheer "relied" on their support weapons you'd see no more than two grens followed by 2-3 MG42s, a couple of mortars, and four PaK guns. Like all factions and strategies (except noobs who spam MGs in 300popcap games with no VPs), support weapons are there for support. Your MG42 supports your grenadiers. Your grenadiers don't support the MG42.
Are Grenadiers worth their 30mp reinforcement cost? With four men they are. The problem against hyper aggressive USF play is that, often times, you don't have munitions to spend on LMG42s. You've got to put down a teller mine, get a med bunker up, and have enough muni in the bank for a faust or two. You've got to keep a grenadier close to your sniper so the M20 or T70 doesn't chase it down and kill it. The Grenadier - conscript matchup is balanced. The issue against Riflemen is that grenadiers always lose in equal cover/health situations above a range of 24m.
The short answer is that the 30mp cost is fine, it's just difficult to justify their performance w/out LMG42s. Adding a 5th man at T3 or T4 won't really help the struggle in the early/mid game; that's a wider issue based on faction design and the abilities of the allied factions.
