I always lose whenever I try to use Penals as my mainline infantry. They are such a manpower drain compared to conscripts. Their extra cost is not offset by their supposedly superior performance, they accumulate veterancy so slowly. And you have to give up so much map control to build tier 1 in the beginning.

How do people actually make Penal builds work ?

Hi,

The best way for you to answer your question is to spectate games or watch top players replays.

Anyway ill try to answer your question the best I can.

Personnaly I like to combine penal squad with a scout car in early game. Say penal-penal-scout car-penal... etc first you put a penal squad in and as soon as you get an engi squad with flame trower you switch them.
This makes it very efficient againt okw or against ost mgs.

Penal are best played far from your opponent as they are good at max range. Play then carefully every model lost is huge compared to conscript model lost. I usually play very safe (never engage an evenly matched battle) until I have 3 squads of penal. Then I know, well spaced they will steamroll anything.
