Its no scaling at all if the base stats are as full of shit as the post I'm quoting right now.
Scaling by definition means how much the improve by veterancy and Penal scale equally good or better than most infantries with 3 vet levels...try finding more DPs increase in other infantry...and pls stop being vulgar...
Flamers use accuracy for months now, welcome to 2015, keep up and we'll meet in 2016 one day, hopefully by 2018. Flamer is hardly a trademark, because you know, combat engies...
And guess what the accuracy of roks flamer is at all ranges? 100% try to understand game mechanics better before posting about them. But can be expected from someone who though hand held flamer were nerfed the last time they where patched, while it truth they where buff so much they had to be moved away from riflemen....
Flamer are their trade mark because it is the ONLY upgrade available to them...
Cool, except rifles don't have 6 men,...
And thus they have less effective HP and are "weaker" than Penals, the reference firespark made (and I responed to) "weak" was to their survivability and not their overall performance/balance, but then again you will twist anything and everything in order to insult others.
Hardly a difference at short range, 50% worse at long range, flamer is in no way better then 2x bar for anything but garrison clear, but penals already have a tool for that.
2 bars are 120 munition, have a tech cost and are still worse against heavy cover.
Not sure what your definition of "Hardly a difference" is, but a Penal squad has on average around 15% more DPS than riflemen in short ranges (up to 10) and 15% in my books is significant...
Yes.. things are really simple... you have no slightest clue on what you're talking about and are full of it as usual.
I have to agree with this sentence with minor change, just replace "you" with katitof...
And no, finding a role for them is NOT difficult at all.
Soviets don't have stock long range infantry. Give penals same weapon profile as rifles got.
Just to demonstrate how out of game balance that suggestions is, if the SVT becomes the same as M1 garands then a Penal squad will cost less than riflemen, have around 20% more EFP, around 20% more DPS at vet 0 going up to around +60% more DPS at vet 3...In other word they will be broken.
