2 bren tommies had 65 kills together. they were ripping through those vet 2 grenadiers like a knife through hot butter. wtf? my brens never do any damage to vet 2 grens, I couldn't believe my eyes, usually it's the other way around.
through like 6 yours I never talked about map / gameplay hacking. but after looking on this 2 brens killes against *1 vet2 *2 for fatherland grens, *3 throwing nades almost in each fight successful *4 and using way better any cover in all fights *5 and reinforce right in the battle field. - I start to question myself.
I think it is still possible to kill vet2 grens, but vet3 are a nightmare. I had a game against HQ ???, I never lost my cromwell or any full squad, but my bren tommies weren't able to deal with his vet3 gren spam.
Is it useful to make 3 LTs?
Can we still find coh unit stats somewhere?

No, well, not in respect to Tommies. Vet 2 is a +78% EHP increase vs Lee Enfields and a whopping +167% vs Bren Guns. Vet 3 is only +20% more on top of that.
I think the difference here was a combination of small factors.
- Small number of Gren squads. I think Vet 2 after 2 Grens is the right call, but your damage output is lower and you have fewer targets to soak up fire. The Tommies already had ~30 kills by the time you got your 4th Gren.
- Range of engagement. Bren Guns have atypically long range increments. You can look at a fight and your vCoH brain thinks "this is long range" but for the Bren Guns it's actually medium. There were a few fights that fell into this category. Their damage output goes up by just about the same as your EHP goes up from Elite Armor. If you're in range to grenade, you're too close.
- LT Vet is stupid. You see him go from Vet 1 to 2 and assume everything got a little bit stronger, but no. Vet 1 and 3 does nothing, while Vet 2 is a massive boost. Watch out for it.
- Heroic Charge isn't just a Fireup, it's an offensive and defensive bonus that can offset For the Fatherland.
