I experimented it.

By default, Penal is better than conscript.

But they can't use oorah, molotov and AT nades. In addition, they can't get PPSH.

And most importantly, they are expensive. so guards or shocks is better than them.

Longer throw range + longer timer + reduced AoE

Im not sure if its the 3 second timer that is bad or the seeming slight delay when you give a move order to when your units move...I know ive been microing well and saw the satchel timer pop up on the ground only to move away as quickly as i could and still get blown up and lose half the squad or more. I think a 3.5 or 4 second timer would be enough, or maybe a clearer understanding of exactly where it is...

Agreed, they are an okay unit that does good damage but the cost and timing of them makes them next to useless when you can get guards/cons with ppsh or even better shocks, imo they need a serious rework.

I havent experienced issues with the Satchel at all. It is strong, but it is easy to dodge if you are paying attention. If the timer is increased, I'd say 1 second is more than enough. 5 seconds would make it less worth the munis.

However...

Lets consider that satchel charges will pretty much destroy anything they hit. If not destroyed, it'll limp away. Its an amazing building deterrent for the Soviets, alas the unit throwing it is a waste. Have a troublesome building with an enemy unit inside? Throw a satchel. Problem gone, much more efficient than a Demolition Charge.

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

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.

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.

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.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
