Grenadiers are very niche units just like a culverin. They counter massed infantry, do decent against ranged calvalry, and rip buildings down at an alarming rate with 12 siege range (better than any infantry unit except arrow knights). They are expensive and take two pop but it is important to remember they scale exponentially. 5 grenadiers will not accomplish much but 15 of them can wreck armies at an alarming rate because of the way splash damage stacks (just like cuirassiers). British and ottoman ones are especially powerful. They aren't bad units they are specialists and have to be used that way
