Partisans need to be more consistent

That´s the point. Both units shouldn´t be there to combat Axis troops in an open fight. They should capture points behind the frontlines or overwhelm a lone support weapon. By no means should some armed farmers beat trained soldiers in open combat.

Give them a faster cap rate or something like that.

If we go into history. Indeed - surrounded troops, indeed civilians. Also some commanders were from the times of Civil War (1917-1923), there also could be retired WWI soldiers, hunters. Plenty of people who knew how to hold a rifle. Not even mentioning NKVD-formed units.

But in game currently Partisans have three main problems:
1.) Lack of non-doctrinal frontline infantry for Soviet faction, that can scale entire game. (check the discussion of Conscripts just nearby)
2.) Accuracy penalty on them
3.) Weapon profiles of SVT, when fragile Partisan units have to close in at superior long-ranged unit (often happens with squads in the field).

Also introduction of OKW changed some things, as OKW trucks are often not at the base, so the amount of time for partisans to decap safely is getting smaller before blob/unit arrives

Partisans should do more damdge and cost more, so they can really do something behind lines.

You can call in a partisan and lay a mine or throw an AT grenade at a crippled vehicle behind enemy lines from ANY building. They aren't mean to be combat troops.
