The topic of this thread is Penal, lets move away from conscripts and maxim. This unit could easily receive minor buffs if when penal power level is decrease Soviet prove to be weak.

Another issue with Penal are the very strong offensive vet bonuses their receive combined with their very strong base stats.

Oh please, don't use "their vet is stronk" argument.
It didn't worked on cons, it won't work on penals for exact same reason.

And that reason is:
Units with weapon upgrades scale better then units without it.

Yes, their vet is strong, but DPS increase they get is still much lower then units with access to upgrades(which is literally any other rifle unit in game).

In fact, their vet is like that SPECIFICALLY so they are able to scale without weapon upgrade and we still have axis equivalent who got equally strong vet, is cheaper out of the gate and gets weapon upgrade while also being 6 man squad and having much more utility.

The best approach to TA is from rear flank, so you can quickly take it down

Panther doesn't have 300 armor anymore and Jackson got its HP increased massively. So, now?

And well, I don't want 60 range one them, was sarcasm. But still a range nerf for Jackson and Firefly to 55. So they become less easy to play. So also King get the chance to hit one, if enemy has bad micro.

Going by your logic, you conveniently forgot that panthers hp was "increased massively" as well, together with RoF buff that means its that much more effective against its own counter, because it can soak more independently of RNG that wasn't in its favor.

And KT is NOT supposed to be engaging its own hardcounters, that's why all TDs in game are faster then it.

What the F is with the notion whithin all axis players that axis units should be able to fight their own hardcounters? That's not only counter intuitive to the whole balance decided, that's as moronic as it gets to the very core.

You need to counter TDs? Either flank them with armor that will always win when it gets first shot(P4 and above), spam extremely cheap and expendable alternative(stug4 in ost case) or just get a vehicle that also got 60 range and is superior in TD engagement(JP4).

KT roflstomps every singular allied tank in its range, it doesn't need to roflstomp its own hardcounters as well. Just because its expensive, does not mean it should be replacement for your whole mechanized part of the army. Given how extremely easy OKW scouting options are with IR HT, not being able to creep puppchens up to these TDs is nothing less but your very own lack of imagination and skill.

If we take into account the time needed to earn 45 MU or 50 MP (which would be the difference between JLI and Penals). For the first one, we need, on average, 1 minute. For the second, on average, 15 seconds. Therefore, JLI must beat the Penals.

STG volks don't(at least if they are the ones attacking) and LMG grens do exclusively at long range.

Explain please.

Because a unit that penalizes you for preserving it is counterintuitive and flies against the design of the rest of the game. Just raise the price to what the Tiger Ace is actually worth.

In case you missed all the posts in this and previous threads about TA, you are NOT supposed to preserve it.
You are supposed to call it in to either seal the game or make a last stand.
If you want to preserve it, you want normal tiger, not TA.
