Panzerschrecks are incredibly powerful, capable of even penetrating the heaviest of tanks. This removes two StG 44s from the squad, greatly reducing their anti-infantry abilities, so think twice before making this decision. The Panzerschreck can be upgraded for a hefty sum of 100 100.

Panzergrenadiers can poke enemy with close-range weapon only, and melee enemy with long-range weapon only, which are both devastating. Coupled with the squads received accuracy of 0.80, it makes the squad a danger to every enemy when it's closing in. These are assault rifles, capable of firing in bursts and powerful at all ranges but really effective at medium to close range. The squad enters the field armed with StG 44s. Their high cost gives the player two powerful weapons: an assault rifle as their primary weapon and the option to upgrade two of the best infantry handheld anti-tank weapons of the game: the Panzerschreck. Their cost, population cap, and reinforce cost are considerably higher compared to Grenadiers and other core infantry. Panzergrenadiers are built at the Kampfgruppe Headquarters (available after completing battle phase 1) for 340 340, 8 8, and come with four men per squad.

In 1942, when Infantry Regiments were renamed as Grenadier Regiments by Hitler as a historical homage to Frederick the Great's Army, the infantry component of Panzer divisions began to be redesignated as Panzergrenadier regiments, as did Motorized Infantry units and soldiers.
