German Granatetruppen
 

in spob 16 germany, unit 372 Granatetruppen, it uses weapon 93, gewehrgranate, wich has no penetration(heat 1, but no ammo), and still is classed as inf-at, shouldn't it be on other class?because it is useless in all stages against anything with armor

Re: German Granatetruppen
 

It is a rifle grenadier, and with its HE ammo and WH size, can occasionally bother class 1 armour. So useful in the 1930s, and in the later war maybe in anti-partisan ops. You have other choices if you expect tanks by then.

The inf-AT class is often used for specialist grenadiers, even if they lack much Atk weaponry. Check out say Nationalist China's ones in the 30-36 period.

Seen it, i got a cool idea and a purpose for those units, if in numbers, they can halt a charge with their grenades hmm.. new defensive tactic :D

No it is not useless! One of the sods destroyed one of my M3 half-tracks. (Scenario Binning Barracks):(

It needs a few shots though (but helps in close assalt)
