Grens aren't rubbish?

[Sabinox]

Could this be a reason for grens to be an actually lowkey strong meta unit?

EDIT: Maybe calling them strong is overkill, but decent nonetheless.

Bro, ive come up for this after the nerf patches, as i was trying out - desperately - other variants but the fckn Luftwaffe units. This. Just THIS.
You immediately rush for 2-3 squads of Grenadiers, you MUST go for MP-40 upgrade in tank battlegroup, then you IMMEDIATELY make a veterancy for them.

They get VERY strong up close, their grenade becomes all-squad-grenade-throw, and at Vet.2 they get out-of-combat heal. Ive found it very-very good for the MP bang and so on.

The only downside is..... 80 HP per 1 unit. They die VERY quickly later in the game. And Wehr has literally no other great units better than any of Allies ones. So yeah...

At least they perform REALLY WELL in the early to mid game. Then you switch yo Jagers with 'shreks for AT, or stick with them grenadiers spam till the late game with tanks. No other way around, cuz Wehr's units are universally garbage in 1x1, even the Luftwaffe Pioneers with MGs (theyre the best unit so far in terms HP \ squad size \ dmg)

It's a name thing. We're so used to grens being a solid 4 man infantry unit with an mg or schrek upgrade it kinda wrecks your brain a little.
Treat them like Volksgenadiers from CoH1 and conscripts from CoH2 and you'll play them right.

And the video is right. They can be decent with a few upgrades. But I think there's a reason for the callback/retrain feature.
