Partisans: Picking the weapon

I feel a bit more chatty than usual so I'll ask another question regarding the Partisan. Though their performance is slightly lacking for their vitality and price, they do get their job done (infiltration, decapping, sneaky mines and barbed wires). The random weapon spawn depending entirely on luck is quite an annoyance for me since I occasionally get a weapon that I did not need (e.g. I need PPSh but I got a LMG squad).

Wouldn't it be neat if you could pick the weapon? I'm not sure if this is too complicated to implement, but I felt this could improve Partisan performance without the actual need to strengthen their stats. We just need to tactically pick the proper weapon set and Partisan can accomplish the desired result with greater ease.

Need a fast sweep of weakened infantry or weapon sets? PPSh
Flexible weapon that has open slots to pick up weapons? SVT40
Decent output in mid to long distance while garrisoned? LMG
Screw up light vehicles? AT rifles
Hurt a tank (even if its a wee bit)? Shrecks.

It is a indirect improvement to the Partisan...in my opinion of course.

I like it, they could implement that by having all weapons as upgrades and make them cost 0 munitions. Then when you pick one, the other options get removed.

Good side that it would be good.
Bad is that we won't see LMG and PTRS partisans
(Won't miss them much though)

Still that's definitely not going to happen, as this patch made partisan commander much worse

My little dream - to remove partisan and irregular.

This is the worst sabotage unit in the game.
Just replace them with scout troop. coming to the 2 CP

That's kinda what the 2 man scout sniper is meant to perform role wise, except that it's just your standard sniper really.

Good idea none the less, I'd like to see that, so much untapped potential within Soviet history and forces that relic ignored in favour of the blind mass charge stereotype.

i think you get like 4 ptrs v. 1 shreck so that the anti tank dps evens out.\

4 ptrs might be better if partisans aren't taking fire or in building.

Its 3 ptrs and if you drop one you can't pick it back.

On regards of why you would ever pick a PTRS over a Shreck:

Shrecks take a very long time to reload for Partisans. PTRS, although requires all three models to aim, take much less time to reload for a second volley. When used against light vehicles, the damage is almost the same, making PTRS more desirable than the shreck at some situations.

So far, I got out of ideas, how to make Partisan commander work, despite trying a lot.
Last patch might made it even worse.

Rosbone: I am not 100% sure but I think Relic actually fixed up the skirmish menus a little last patch. If so, thank you and keep it coming.

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

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.
