Yes, it probably is the best indirect combat weapon, however the self healing mechanic really takes a lot away from that when the enemy can simply walk away.

I think it would be fun to use - it is just way to weak for its difficulty to hit. +50% damage would be a good start I guess. Also turret mode is bad but between the 3 heavy classes it is exspecially bad on grenadier. The way you need to find good angles/corners for shooting makes it just impossible to take use out of it.
The parallels to team fortress 2 demoman are very obvious but they should also learn from tf2 balance. There is the reason it is the by far most damaging class there. All the projectiles are not direct hit but have time until detonation. This is supposed to be the tradeoff for high damage but right now it doesn't deal alot more than the straight direction TDW that has no range limitations and doesn't requite arcs to aim.
You really get dominated by light classes with their mobility but you deal the same damage as them. Grenadier shots that actually connect should take away half their health imo.

Becoming familiar with the way grenades bounce once then blow up, and the travel time for leading shots took some time, but I have found it to be perfectly capable in close range, and for area denial... Or catching two bad guys rubbing up against each other in a hallway and netting double kills.
It would be handy to have a slightly different crosshair, something that lets you see where your grenades are going to arc to.
I can understand why some would want to drop it over HEAT, but I've always found it more useful to diversify your mech's loadout: REV lets you spam dmg, the other GL lets you burst dmg.

If you took the effort to learn grenadier and actually have some decent accuracy then you are finally at 80% strenght of other classes. Congratz! If you suck with it you are basically just 850hp waiting to be destroyed.
Oh and the siege mode could work if siege mode would generally become stronger: faster transformation and a straight 30% damage buff for all heavies, 50% for grenadier. Again. There is a reason demoman deals alot of damage in tf2. You cannot give weapons like that the same damage ratios like direct hit stuff.
