With 2 weapon slots, Grenadiers have the option to take the Anti-Tank Panzerschreck or Anti-Infantry MG42, both dramatically increasing their performance on the field for these roles. Most of the strengths of the Grenadiers revolve around their upgrades. It can be reasonably assumed that with these factors in mind, you will see the Grenadiers in almost every battle involving the Wehrmacht. Though slightly more expensive than their Tier 1 counterparts, the Grenadiers are superior in every way but squad size, being a flexible, tough, general-use squad for almost any purpose. This is true in Company of Heroes as well: It becomes very quickly apparent that Volksgrenadiers are nothing more than a stopgap for this unit. By this point, these troops are mostly veterans from the last few years of the war, with new recruits levied since 1943 generally pressed into service without the harsh training regimens the Grenadiers once faced. The Grenadiers are the standard Infantry of the German army, some of the best trained and equipped troops in the world.
