So........ how are people supposed to get the achievement "Torched" (Upgrade 30 Penal Battalions with flamethrowers and kill 300 infantry with Penal Battalions)?
It might still work from using Penal Battalion call-in in the campaign.

Either increase the range, since it is a "skill" based toss with a large windup time, or decrease the windup time.

The penal satchel is next to impossible to use, not because of the range, but due to the wind up time. The only way you'll ever get that on something (even if buttoned, or snared) will be due to bad pathfinding and the vehicle being completely unsupported.

Yeah decrease the windup time while molotovs still cry in the corner.

I disagree, I've used penals before they were buffed and my favourite thing about them was that they were a bunker / garrison erasure. Now that they're cheaper, you'll see them being used to deny buildings by simply erasing them.

can you guys finish relic's progress on making units stop seeking for cover when firing bazooka or piat?
Royal engineers still do those dances and i think rear echs still do, too.

It's not sticky-sticky
You aim the new satchel as the ordinary one. If it hits the tank, it stays there. Otherwise, if it misses, it stays on the ground. We did a lot of playtesting with it with Firesparks and Hector yesterday, and it is not very easy pulling this skillshot off with a 10-range.
It's just something fun to make PTRS Penals feel a bit interesting, and not like complete chumps when the heavy panzers arrive.
So will it be like the vCoH US riflemens' sticky bomb? Of course just without the point and click and it'll be a homing missile until it collides with the tank. It does really feel interesting and unique.
So its damage is 2.4x of the original AT nades right? (AT nades deal 100 damage afaik)
Nice changes, keep up the good work, I believe in you guys

There are a lot of other achievements which you can't get since the changes to the game. Like the call in x partisan SMG, LMG and rifle squads and etc. Maybe if you're lucky you can get it in cheatcommands mod.

Is there any counterplay from a vehicle being buttoned and penals walking up to it and stickying it?
Is there any counterplay to two different units being used against an unsupported vehicle?
Yes, it's called not leaving the vehicle unsupported.

You should tell that to the crushwell.
If your answer is, don't leave your tanks unsupported ever, that means that their main strength, their mobility, is now rather useless, since you have to wait for the infantry to keep pace.
BTW its a little necessary to go in "unsupported", if your trying to get a sniper or if you're trying to flank.

My god, giving ptrs to penals was never a good idea. PTRS should be given to cons as an upgrade in t1. Let penals play their role as an AI unit and cons as an AT unit because with these changes make cons totally stupid to build-so tank hunters doc to pick-.
do you want at weapons on 240 mp infantry with snare sprint and ridikulus vet survivability ? because this is how you get them. giving cons ptrs as core feature wouldnt be good idea

The thing is, before penals with ppshs were criticized for having same role as shocks and now with ptrs's they have the same role as guards and ptrs cons. I'm still for giving T1 M-42.

the new satchel will be "stick on contact". It's not a heatseeker but it will stick if you manage a direct hit.
it will be easier to stick the satchel on a big fat target like the king tiger than a smaller target like the panzer 4.

Increase cost of cons or reduce performance of ptrs on cons, easy. But with this patch cons will have no purpose. Btw in current patch you can have those OP cons with ptrs you talking about (tank hunters doc) and I dont see it as OP as you mention. You like it or no the fact is that cons have no role in winter patch.

Also how do you want to give sov tier1 counter to okw flaktrack ? flaktrack come too soon and nothing in tier1 can counter it.
M-42 AT Gun in T1?

You won't to throw off the balance of a core unit like Conscripts so they can be AT Infantry?
