They are expensive and they are not even good at what they are supposed to do killing team weapons.
Instead they die faster than conscripts and are only 4 men squad. How are they supposed to survive>?
Then they cost 26 mp to reinforce which is extreme expensive. SO better just let them die.

And it is the main reason people dont bother with commanders that have them. So after the nerf they are now useless. This needs to be fixed asap!

This is going to be absolutely nuts and feel wrong, but don't treat the partisans like normal troops, treat them like civilians that happen to have guns and are trying to be a pain in the enemy ass. If they are on the front you are doing things wrong. They are supposed to laying mines in your enemies rear. Getting a jump on vulnerable units. Using their camo and ambushing.
If your partisans are losing in a fight its entirely because you are not using them properly and picking your targets properly. Absolutely a L2P. they are niche, but they are not bad. We sure as shit don't want a fine but niche unit getting the "make them less niches and significantly less fine" approach * cough cough falls *cough cough* JLI

ambush units should be using their ambush capabilities primarily, not as a back up bonus. It's pivotal to their design.

merge AI - AT partisans to 1 slot (rifle partisans) separate roles upgrade instead.

upgrade 1 4x ppsh (free)
upgrade 2 2x PTRS (free) Get ATnade but remove the molotov and grenade
upgrade 3 1x panzerschreck (40MU) Get ATnade but remove the molotov and grenade

replace that free slot with something else.

1. Powercreep of the rest of the infantry units is not a "Nerf" to partisans
2. I never thought of anyhing more prescindible than a Partisan Buff. Maybe replace them with other infantry if you really want the commander to be meta.

I actually wish they got ambush bonus at vet0 seeing as they are ambush troops and should benefit from it all the time, but other than that they're mostly fine. Super niche (borderline useless against OKW) and in a commander that's just not good enough, but they're mostly fine still. Maybe more RA bonuses with vet would be nice too?

- Partisan squads can build PMD-6 anti-personnel mines
- Partisan squads now gain a fifth member at vet 2

This would also help

To buy.
Not to reinforce or keep long term as they bleed hard.

If you use them in straight up attrition fights you are simply using them wrong.

I know one that would even argue that they cheaper to reinforce than conscripts as a squad.

Doctrine needs some adjustments. Merging two partisan squads into one is good idea imo.
In general, doctrine is meh. VDV and doctrine with ML-20 + AT partisans + PPSh-41 are completely overshadow it. I wish it get reshuffle like NKVD doctrine, which became a very solid choice with saved "style" and unique abilities.

That is correct.

Imo any problems have to do more with commander and less with Partisan itself that are cost efficient. Unless one wants to redesigned the partisans.

I am not sure how that would work since calling 2 separate them from ambient buildings would be difficult.

Probably all SMG squad should have a discount do their reinforcement cost.

Didn't you play campaign? They are NOT Russian and thus.*gunshot in the background*

That said, I can absolutely get behind the better VET direction as well as the ambush camo change (ambush camo should be stock on units that camo ffs) but aside from That a 210mp ambush unit shouldn't be charging enemy fortified lines and winning...

I always wanted them to scale a bit better, I don't mind them being weak out of the gate, but they should have a bit more to do then be a glorified engineer that can only put down mines and hide in bushes.
