Captain costs 50 manpower to reinforce?

Leutienant reinforce price is 25 manpower, captain is 30. If captain or leutienant is died (guy with tompson) reinforce price for whole squad increases to 50 manpower.

Same logic is working for okw sturmofficer, 35 manpower if officer alive, 50 manpower for every model if officer died.

If that is true, it has to go. MP bleed for USF is big enough already, that RNG element making things worse is just... ugh...

What RNG? The US officer models doesn't have the received accuracy of the rest of the squad, and he is always in front, so he always dies first.

I guess relic really wanted to emulate how US officers had a much higher mortality rate than that of the men they led.

Yeah it makes no sense why officers in this game have 1 received accuracy, especially when if they die it can either force you to retreat or hamstring the squad he's in. Also squads with mixed values of units in them are never a good idea.

It would be nice if all officer squads in the game had a mechanic were the officer is always the last to die, could call the feature "Look at sir! Arrrgh!"

which is why they implemented "die last/damage distribution" to almost all squad leaders in dow2. it was a terrible idea in that game though because of the extra mechanics. might actually work in coh2.

They did? I had no idea! I was only aware of Imps getting the former, which I found made perfect sense since Imp Sergeants were of course made of plastic (instead of brittle glass like their squad) compared to the other leaders.
