A fun trick with soviets is to re-crew a support weapon with penal troops. Then, instead of reinforcing the weapon at the HQ, just merge conscripts with them. This will give you a support weapon whose crew all carry the SVT-40 rifle, giving them about double the DPS of ordinary conscripts and making them much more resilient to infantry flanks.
Things to remember when re-crewing and when using merge:
- Models re-crewing weapons maintain their stats and weapons.
- When reinforcing a picked up support weapon, the reinforcements have the same stats and costs as the squad type that picked up the weapon.
- Merging conscripts gain the weapon of the squad that they are merged to, but retain their armor stats.
- Penal troops and combat engineers are ideal targets for merge, as they both have models with the same armor as conscripts but are 50% more expensive to reinforce normally.

I'm not 100% sure but I think they do in fact recieve 25% extra damage.

Thanks for the awesome tips! You should write a guide....

And this is why I don't like Penal Troops despite using them as Soviets. They're just in such a weird position and role in the Soviet army. All sorts of micro intensive shenanigans you can pull with them, but usually it's not worth the time to do so in a heated match.

penals are great fighters but bad on the front lines. they have good dps for a rifle squad and flamers, so they are great for ninja capping, since nothing except infantry numbers or vehicles can really stop them without taking heavy casualties.
they are more like a finesse unit, superb when played and microed right, worthless when the enemy makes a real effort to stop them.
so i really love it when people send grens against my penals and watch as a satchel wipes a squad or my penals doing huge amounts of damage before being forced off, coming back vetted and alot more dangerous.
conscripts are better off on the frontlines where they act as meatshields and flankers with molotovs and cheap to replace.

Permanently BannedUse Penals as you would a LMG/G43 Gren.
Its basically the same thing, in a different stat arrangement.
