The only thing they need is better scaling.
Base stats are fine, but there is no reward for keeping them alife.

I also Agree that partisans should scale better but i think that squad preservation is overrated and in this case in particular partisans should not have the benefit of it.

Quite paradoxical, i know.

What you've said makes absolutely no sense.

I think partisans should get some combat buffs and the Stormtrooper treatment, as Stormtroopers are decently balanced and very useful, unlike the current implementation of Partizans which are kind of useless.

To accompany these buffs, I suggest that their name should be changed from “partizans” to “irregulars”, as it will make a lot more sense thematically as to why they are on the front line, and better represent how many of the “partizans” had been in the red army and had military experience.

Just my 2 cents

#PartyZans

I dont get why people have a problem with them.

You lay a mine, infantry run into mine, You fight a 2 man squad.

He tries to clear your mines, partyzan trows a nade on the mine and boom its gone

I'd recommend changing their ambush bonus to work like Fallschirmjaeger: 25% by default, 50% at vet 2.

If they need more, we could add some RA or reinforce cost to their vet 2 or 3.

Hello all, just wanted to chip in on the conversation!

As a big fan of the Partisan Tactics, I am glad people are putting more thought into the commander. However, I do hold the opinion that the tactics is fine for how it is. Any improvements I've seen mentioned (better scaling, more RA, extra models for partisan squads) are all nice to have, but I feel like betrays the main theme of the tactics. Partisans squads are not meant to function like main line infantry and I would rather any improvements aim towards alternative perks.

I won't prattle on about how you should use them, but rather direct an observation I made. Any real reason they feel weak is because a certain change to them resulted in them losing the ability to counter the very things they're meant to be extremely effective at removing.

Some patches ago, Partisan squads were all nerfed with the cooldown on spawn for all grenades. Which while reasonable, also neuters their surprise factor. AI Partisans with PPSh alone will not be able to clear out weapon crews fast enough, AT Partisans would likely fire one rocket before a vehicle gets away. Now while I don't think removing cooldown on spawn is great for the AT partisans, I am all for it for the AI partisans. Without the grenades on spawn (especially against units in buildings), they hold fairly low shock factor, and I find myself more often spawning them outside of combat to plant mines and stalk.

And that is the other factor I thought would do better worked on. Planting mines is one of the reasons why I love commanders that have them. They provide a great deal of help in securing flanks, and AT-Partisans with a land mine and good cover will even contest a medium tank. AI Partisan, on the other hand, still feel somewhat unreliable even with the advantage of ambush. Therefore, I think a bandaid solution would be adding the anti infantry land mine to their arsenal. That, or some kind of ability that would improve their ability to protect flanks. I don't know the answer to this one. Maybe giving them an ability similar to forced retreat, since it could be like them scaring off infantry with a surprise ambush?

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:
