Because the field is better. The field slows down the enemy and makes him vulnerable. Common wire is mainly used to close doors from divisional units. |
The one that slows units? It seems it causes a lot of unwanted side effects, I'm afraid. Same reason Deep Mud/Snow doesn't exist on maps anymore.
I think it's unlikely that's coming back, unless there's some way to make infantry path around it unless specifically instructed to go through it (And if it didn't affect retreating infantry).
Honestly, I don't see any problems here. Can the infantry fall into a German minefield when retreating? Easily. So it is with the barbed wire field. They will perform a similar function, preventing surprise attacks. The barbed wire field is easy to destroy with a mortar as well as a minefield. |

Can commanders who received engineering structures (bunkers, tank traps) get a barbed wire field? Please. |

I want to repeat my old idea. On the strangeness of Conscripts.So the Conscripts get the third level of veterancy and they are still Conscripts. Why don't they turn into veterans when they get their third veterancy? Or at least just Strelki(Rifleman)? Why, when the Conscripts receive the third veterancy, they can be transformed to Riflemen, their veterancy is reset to the first one, they get better accuracy characteristics, and so on. Get grenades instead of Molotov. |
What is the scatter of delayed fuse shells of 120mm?
This ability is utter trash and muni throw, hitting anywhere but where you want it to and its noticeably inferior against stationary targets compared to regular barrage.
Yes. I tried it and it is a frankly useless ability and I think incendiary mines were much more appropriate especially against not-too-smart players who had their Medical Headquarters right on the front line. Take incendiary rounds from the Firestorm doctrine as a basis. |
|
Maybe give 120-mm mortars instead of a delayed explosion to give 53-Z-843A incendiary mines? |

What really suitable for the Reserve Army commander. This is, for example, the Siberian regular troops that were in the Far East. They had an SVT-40 and such things as a Dyakonov rifle grenade launcher instead of a Molotov cocktail. |
I haven't checked any historical background, all I know is that Reserve army doctrine used to have irregulars, low durability troops with lmgs. One can try them with the all units mod too.
(There is even an achievement for irregulars, now only obtainable with the all unit mods.)

To be honest, I see no point in the return of the irregulars. To make them authentic, this requires the addition of WW1 weapons and the irregulars were quickly transformed into rifle divisions with standard weapons, because there are no resources to supply all this WW1 stuff. |
I'm still not a fan of the partisan reworks, however it gave me an idea: how about using the proposed rework in this beta for bringing back irregulars in Reserve army doctrine? Instead of the ppsh upgrade path they would have an lmg path. Afaik irregulars weren't meant to be infiltration troops but rather frontline combatants.
Lmg irregulars would have no camo while schreck irregulars would gain camo so they stay similar to the current AT partisans.
The only one who fits the classification of irregular troops in the Red Army is the People's Militia Division. Then it should be a 6-man squad (because they were formed as divisions). But with a variety of weapons. The weapons that are in the game are BAR and Lee-Enfield, SVT-40 and Mosin rifle. |
Tested it multiple times in cheat mode just to add some data versus medium tanks. Planes always attacking from the rear.
Il-2 rocket strafe was more consistent by dealing about 400 damage by nearly every single pass.
JU-87 At-Strafe dealt between 320 and 720 damage (E8 health).
Frontally this looks totally different with IL-2 rocket strafe not beeing worth it. Again Ju-87 for 110 MU, IL-rocket strafe for 125 MU.
I also went to experiment with the cheat mod, and the 37mm strafe can definitely kill the ISU-152 or IS-2 from one pass, or leave them with a minimum amount of HP that just complement the PAK-40 strike. |
