Penals have no counters

Permanently BannedTheir nade should be unlocked once they upgrade to PTRS. Also their accuracy/damage or ROF should be reduced.

the german soldier was a well trained and experienced soldier.
sovjets didnt trained their soldiers in most cases...they get a hat, jacket, shoes and maybe a weapon

yeah they won WW2 with droves of unarmed farmers
nope...they won cause germany fought against the half world....on 3-4 fronts....over whole europe....against 1:10 tanks and infantery relation.
look how much t34 (around 80.000) where build...and shermans (around 40.000)....planes...artillery..
germany was every night under attack from bomber planes
and the half world need 3 years...while france was beaten in 8 weeks. poland (2. hugest army) in 4 weeks.
sovjets lost 3millions solders in the first monts...
yeah....now u.

https://www.coh2.org/topic/56497/adolf-hitler-mistakes I suggest here is the better play for discussion on historical events in WW2
Otherwise i suggest the OP sends in a replay here:
https://www.coh2.org/forum/109/replay-reviews
so myself or one of the other strategist can help!

i ask myself everyday why in the hell are penals (strafnikis) and unexpierenced USF trainees better than german troops which fought since years on all fronts...
the german soldier was a well trained and experienced soldier.
sovjets didnt trained their soldiers in most cases...they get a hat, jacket, shoes and maybe a weapon
This game is not and will never be about historical accuracy, go watch documentaries and read wikipedia if that is all you want.

And if you upgrade them with PTRS they become useless versus infantry, and even with the PTRS they still die like flies versus a P2

They are only really useful as late game vet 3 units with a too powerful snare. Just keep one of them next to your tanks and nothing can come close to it. I have snared some Panthers that dared to flank this way.
it not like u need to come near any soviets tanks

I saw everyone talking about the amazing AT nade on penals and was surprised when they only had a satchel. Against competent players I really wouldn't count that as an AT grenade. Unless I missed a button?
they can stick to vehicule now

Ah, thanks. Do you have to aim it, or does it auto-lock like the cons at-nade?
