Assuming that by saying "rifle grenades" you mean those grenades fixed to the rifle that can be shot to a far distance, like in DOD:S, I don't think so.

About Anti Tank guns such as Panzerfausts and PTDR the answer is probably yes.

Russians used PTRD also like anti-sniper, anti-MG, because it could penetrate even thick brick wall.

I want to see Panzerb

For reference, here is the Mosin Nagant's version of the rifle grenade, the D'yakonov launcher.

Djakonovs were rare and they were only at the first months of war, but germans had rather big amounts of grenade launchers through all war times.
P.S.

I would like to see the AT rifles and AT stuff if they are indeed in game implmented correctly for example the PTRD should penetrate.... 35 mm of armor @ 100 meters @ 90 degrees making the rifle useless frontally vs nearly all 1942 German tanks ... even side shots require close range shots to penetrate.

The weapons that would make infantry a real threat to enemy armor are AT-guns such as the Pak 38, ZIS-3, Pak 40,etc.. which I think should be put in Ro2 if there are tanks as even tank Aces hated and feared them more than other tanks.

I really hope there will be 98k Rifle grenade launcher for RO2 - at least german ones because they were common.
I missed that in the first RO.

i have no issue with rifle grenades if and only if its implemented realistically. In both firing, damage, aiming and time it takes to load one of those things.

I don't wan't a newbtube as they call riflegrenades in other games.

Yes, you have to be approaching a target with the predetermined goal of using the rifle grenade. It's not something you attach to your rifle in the heat of the moment.

Video games so far tend to portray this weapon as casually as throwing the grenade by hand, like it's a super-portable mortar.

This. In fact, if it was done realistically, I would really like to see it in.

If I am correct, you'd have to eject the bullet (if there is one in the chamber), stick the blank round in, bolt it, and then put the grenade on. It would take 7 or so seconds at least.

Then of course, if you want to switch back to a normal rifle, you eject the blank round, remove the grenade ect. Only issue is players might run out of blanks for the grenades if they keep doing this. But, that is realism.

Some completely new content to the series is always nice.
