i dont understand this fear of buffing penals. they need a long range buff and a rec acc vet buff for staying power.

they are awkwardly placed in a crappy unusable tier that has no way to snare or kill armor, no light indirect fire or machine guns.

penals themselves are easily negated by suppression, no frag or AT nades or smoke nades, why are people so strangely fearful of a penal buff?

a long range buff only make penals somewhat not useless at ranged firefights when advancing towards grens/volks is not possible because of mg42s,mg34s, sturmpios, etc.

this buff dont make penals into super soldiers capable of conquering the old world and beating chaos gods into submission. penals still dont have the mid to late game dps, easily stopped by machine guns and tanks, close to 0 utility unless against garrison and overrunning okw truck positions

it gives soviet forces a good infantry capable of preventing a complete steamroll on soviet lines when maxims are killed and conscripts just being completely useless against a volks blob.

i can imagine conscripts ptrs doctrine/armored assault being immensely useful when penals are an effective AI option.

what we can do however, is to make penals and elite infantry somewhat mutually exclusive. it will be far too much of a mp drain to bring in guards/shocks and penals together, maybe a small increase in their reinforcement cost.

better to rely on AT guns, mortars and maxims to hold the mid game while waiting out for doctrinal armor and elite infantry with utility conscripts that can snare and support set up teams decently.

than

rely on penals, snipers and m3 that cannot deal with vehicles at all, snipers not having dps to counter infantry and set up teams and being completely nullfied by forward retreat points. m3 not scaling at all after 3 mins into the game.

penals is shit, even if they were buffed, the t1 hasnt got any mid game units or upgrades at all, 1 wrong move into losing fuel points, its gg right there.

decent strat but snipers seem to be very redundant. sov t2 is sufficient. ppsh cons are able to deal with okw infantry well enough, keep that mp and fuel to push out t70s or su76 earlier should be a better investment.

t70 can keep luchs away from machineguns, mortars, at guns and support against infantry pushes. while ppsh conscripts can yolo into volks trying to schreck ur t70 down.

the idea is to be very cautious with ur t70, use support teams to draw fire and annoy the crap out of okw, then counter push with conscripts.

What is armored assault.

hahaha, u try to work with conscripts only infantry build, we know how that goes.

huh? no, blobbing is when medium/light tanks cant do their jobs to kite infantry into oblivion.

blobbing is when infantry can counter tanks and other infantry so efficiently. so you can only get infantry units to get the job done, there is no need anti tank guns, mines or vehicles for fear of a fast light tank strategy countering ur entire army.

why get rakatens when volks can do the job and without fear of getting flanked. whats the point of machine guns/light tanks to achieve fire superiority when obers have such an insane dps?

forward retreat point is not the thing that promotes blobbing.

and because of that, stupid shit like rocket artillery are being buffed to godly levels to "counter" blobs, when its actually just a super efficient wipe machine that has low risk to use.
