Oh don't worry about that, due to cost, time to build and T1 cost you will always have better field presence.

And no, it will not beat LMG gren. It could if 0 models died, but it will loose models rapidly, loosing dps just as fast.

i dont have time to argue with you, it wont MVGAME (and pros usually put penals in m3 to be more efficient for this reason)

I don't see a reason why I would want penals in M3 over CEs with flamers.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

sigh, dont upgrade flame. and reason is, you wont lose models while the penal dmg output is still high at long range

+ you can go baserape and use demo, or flank hmg etc...

6 DPS is hardly high.
But if you take conscripts or weapon crewes additional models as a comparison base to say its high, they maybe you're right.

This forum needs a psychedelic drug limit before posting.

Whoa, I mean let's not be too hasty here....

Bunch of theory crafters up in here. Penals have a ton of potential, it is entirely in how you use them. No other infantry in the game is capable of pulling a move like that. Seems that most of the posters on this forum actually disdain the 'S' in RTS and would prefer to cry op/up and compare numbers instead of trying to outplay their opponent.

Great.
Can I exchange that potential for actual unit usefulness?

Even friggin Osttruppen have a clear role and they do it well.

The PTRS's are fine as they are. Whenever i'm up against Guard Infantry, I always have to be careful with my vehicles or the Guards will completely destroy them. Good range, good damage and fairly cheap; if anything, the PTRS should nerfed since it's ridiculously good for the price. Even in the hands of Conscripts, the PTRS's are extremely potent.
