6 men with flamer and great DPS at all range is a no.

No, just remove the Penals from T1, transfer them to the “Rapid Conscript” as an Osttruppen analog, give a merger and give the Conscripts 6 SVT-40 upgrade, remove merge. Penals have no place in the infantry system of the USSR. The Penals always overlap other infantry units: Engineers due to flamethrower and explosives, Conscripts as the main infantry, the Guard due to PTRS and sticky explosives.

I'd say no to Penal flamethrowers.

It would be nice though if commanders in general would not push for a specific tech tier, and the PPsh upgrade does push you into T2 to get the most of it. Bundling something for Penals would be nice, put since they are already strong enough, it has to be a side-grade like the PTRS, not an upgrade. Maybe just give PPsh to them, too. People basically don't use it anyways, but hey, it's something.

It worked when penals were just better cons who still sucked hard at long range.

It shouldn't come back.

I really, really like the idea and the reasoning behind it. My only worry is that then T1 would only contain the scout car and the sniper, and that these two units on their own are not enough to make a T1-strategy attractive/viable. Maybe lock the conscript upgradeability behind building T1?

Penals are way too different now, and soviets already have a flamethrower squad

Before the Penalties received PTRS, if you built T1 you took the Guard commanders, for the obvious reason - T1 does not have AT support. I think that need to put the Guard in T1 (of course, if you take the Guard commander)

This is also a very good idea! :thumb:

Ahh yes, clearly the M3/flamer CE combo isn't obnoxious enough in its current state. Let's bring back the old Clown Car combo.....

Penals in M3 was never optimal, flamer or not.
It was always CE personal ride, which they have shared for short time at release with snipers.
