Penals are not great but they are also far away from being useless...
Like sov you have alot close combat option:
- first, it's CE flamethrower. They not great, but they can clean up the house or cover;
- second, cons&molotov. Some sort of you main spam forse so you have few of them anyway;
- trid, partyzans. They have nade, molotov and SMG.
- fourthly, Shock troops. A bit outdated but still effective.
- fifth, PPSH cons. Cons have some real weapon.
- At sixth. Assault guards. Something even worse than a PPSH cons, but still have SMG and nade.
So why choose penal? No reason. And you do not choose them.
Considering penals get 60% better accuracy with vet, having oorah at vet 2 flamers, 6 men. And being better than a base rifle squad with garand profile. That sounds OP as fuck.
I mean if you think panzerfussiliers are OP, got no clue why you don't see that non doc 6 man flame rifle squad with oorah would be OP just because they don't have frags or smoke or elite infantry durability liek riflemen.
Theres really nothing more I can point out.
I totally agree. Flame rifle absolutely OP, so why we just not copy-paste absolutely no OP panzerfussiliers, give penal skins (with bolt rifle) and voices?
