Every other match gets ruined by some jackass using this broken EXPLOIT created by the excessive buff added to rifle grenades. When I use them, I can also see it is broken and clearly OP. They take no skill to use and are very irritating to see in-game. Earlier today I took the house on the 1st point on the Fortress map, went to the 2nd floor, looked at the window and saw a small horde of enemies coming to counter-attack, pressed U, shot 3 grenades and killed ~20 enemies in the span of ~5 seconds.
Seriously why have they STILL not been re-balanced? It’s urgently needed. And please don’t ever do this again (excessively buffing something that was previously rather weak and leaving the game broken for weeks after the update. Game is a open-beta, but this is BS).
The grenades load so fast now that the reloading animation looks completely unnatural. Their damage-blast is way too big (bigger than tank canons). It was kind of cool and realistic before, when you had to put the grenade launcher and then load the grenade. The auto-reload can stay, but getting 2x more rifle grenades by equipping 2 guns needs to go (it’s an exploit, and rifle grenades were kind of rare historically). But I don’t care how they get re-balanced, I just want to enjoy my matches in Tunisia again!!!

If something hasn’t changed in 3 weeks, it shouldn’t be a problem.
Yes it should be and still is a problem. It worsens the game and makes people stop playing it. Lots of people have said it was broken since the day the update came out and are awaiting it to be fixed.
Only reason it doesn’t ruin 100% of the matches is because at the moment few people have rifle-grenades unlocked or the silver orders to spend purchasing a lot of otherwise weak rifles. Plus a lot of people who can do this, like me, don’t do it because they think it’s lame and not fun.
It’s currently worse in Tunisia than in other campaigns because people in other campaigns can equip their riflemen with semiautos, while in Tunisia a lot of people use bolt-actions and riflemen squads.

I wrote 3 fucking weeks ago that this will be the case. No one was watching. Ruined the event, then ruined the game. But they looked stupid. “Why is mkb spam better?” Then they came one after another the “grenade launcher problem” topics.
Last week I asked what would happen? The dmg nerf is coming, they said. Well I think the dmg nerf won’t be worth anything, but okay. It was 10 days ago. Nothing since. But thank god the smoke grenade can be used. So yeah, I understand what you’re saying. But if they haven’t managed to change that in all that time, it’s unnecessary to deal with it.

Its even worse in Berlin, with some points being in buildings a guy with a rifle-grenade can completly block the acces to the point and there is literally nothing that you can do about it.
Its especially bad in Hitlers Office, the last point of one of the maps, the only viable way to enter is through a corridor, it has happened to me multiple times that a guy sits on the other side of the corridor and just shoots granades, making it imposible to get to the point, its really frustrating and really breaks the inmersion.

I have full semi-auto and fully-automatic armies in all campaigns now. However, last night and the previous one have become so intense with the rifle grenade spam that I was forced to start doing it myself in order to have a chance especially on moscow when it seemed like every enemy squad had them and were well coordinated, when I mostly play by myself and thus forced to use every trick to win games on my own, usually
