Oh yeah lol, I didn't think of this, my bad) |
Yes, penal battalion translates as shtrafniki. Shtraf means penalty in Russian.
I think they are great, I have won a lot of early game engagements with them but I would love to see them doctrinal rather then coming from the building. Guards would better fit their spot so T1 would have at least some AT capabilities.
I personally use them all the time when I get tired of my regular build (3 cons, mortar, shocks spam, SU76) |
I leveled to 100 in like six games. No lags no issues. Many ostheer players have played with elite troops doctrine, this helped me to develop few nice tactics against vet three grens and tiger ace. |
Why not to bring ST? Cons with AT nade, zis3 or early SU76 will stop FHT with ass grens dead. |
Thanks for making it clear! |
I didn't get it, so you recrew it and then what? It fires more precisely or something? Or you just point out that B-4 is useless? I didn't get it, sorry |
Just a quick question. I see that some units have decreased cool down effect. How does it work? Cool down on what? |
If I see guard and penals combo I go MG+sniper, MG+sniper. This will stop them dead. Gren squad should be close to Faust clown car. Keep your mgs and snipers in pairs, covering the flanks. Secure the fuel and tech further. |
I thought mortars don't do damage to medium and heavies. I even started a topic some time ago trying to figure out why 120mm mortar doesn't damage Flak Panzer. It has an open top but every time the shell lands right where the crew sits, it bounces.... of what? Helmets? Those Germans must have really strong heads... |
Whatever guys, my message was that you have to look at your own mistakes first before you bring in this mysterious word - RNG. And I'm done with this topic because its just another whining about Soviets ocasionally winning the game. |
