Tactics

  • A Panzerschreck in an enemy's hands should be prevented at all costs. If a Panzershreck is dropped by your squad, make every effort to retrieve it.
  • Tank Busters can be produced through the HQ also, it is a good idea on munitions heavy maps to build standard Panzer Grenadier's and use the Panzerschreck upgrade to save 105 manpower!
  • When using the Tank Destroyer doctrine one of the end tree abilities gives your Tank Buster squads an extra panzershrek.


History

Panzergrenadiers were the infantry assigned to Panzer and Panzergrenadier divisions, and were the bulk of the fighting force in those formations. Transported either in trucks or SdKfz 251/1 half-tracks, the role of the Panzergrenadier was to support the tanks when in offense, or defend ground recently secured by the tanks. Their squads were armed with twice as many MG34 or MG42 light machine-guns than the regular Grenadiers, and their support weapons were nearly all towed or mounted in vehicles.

The Panzergrenadiers in Company of Heroes appear to be from the Panzeraufklärungsabteilung (Mechanized Reconnaissance Battalion) of a Panzer or Panzergrenadier division, due to the SdKfz 250 light half-tracks they are using, and the reference to "Spähtrupp" in their speech (Spähtrupp means scout patrol).
