I like Ægion's suggestions

His suggestions are good, but i think range of snare could be increased to 30 if you are building t4, to help fighting against late armor in late game phase.

In the last game ally was complaining that 2x Penal sticky killed his full HP P4.

If it's true.... We are in a sticky situation.

Tho I think Penals are fine in current state, they won't be fine after fixing Cons.
Like mentioned here, I raised such point months ago - you cannot balance Penals with Cons out of scope and then balance Cons with Penals ouf of scope. It's a dead end.

It would be better idea (I guess) to balance Penals like Cons were in the scope, then crawl few month with them until Cons are in scope.

Right now they are quite fine, but once Cons will be touched, they won't be. So you either get X months with not well designed Penals but after that everything is fine or you get X months with well done Penals but then much more time with screwed balance between Penals and Cons.

Unless Penals will be included in scope again but I hardly imagine that.

Satchel seems to have 340 damage so it should be passable.

Penal SVTs are rather bugged/inconsistent. The cooldown modifier is unaffected by range and it actually is reduced when penals are moving.

6 months of feedback on penals wasn't ever going to change what happened. What happened with penals was exactly what the mod team wanted, independent of feedback. At best feedback was deciding how many ptrs they get.

A blob of vetted Penals has extremely high DPS.

Personally I think the DPS of penals should be lowered only very, very slightly and the sticky satchel should be removed but the regular satchel retained.

Not every single infantry unit in the game needs a snare. It's kind of ridiculous. Unless you have heavy tanks that resist snares better, it seems like almost every infantry unit in the game running around can snare you. And since blobbing is so frequent in larger game modes and with munis being fairly plentiful late game, it's really not uncommon for a Panther to turn a corner and find 3-4 squads of penals there (which the panther can do nothing about since it's a terrible tank) and get 3 satchels stuck to it and then it's blown up.

Well SVT is carbine (semi auto) weapon with the far DPS of bolt action rifle in a squad with high accuracy vet bonuses...

Relic did its best work on small arm fire in September Patch when it balanced all infantry available before minute 1 with weapon profiles and relative positioning. They should simply do the same factor in all the thing that have changed since then.

If you let your p4 get sticky satchelled by 2 penals at the same time, you are doing something wrong!

Sort of. Other carbines have cooldown modifiers that increase with range from the target. In fact every single rifle and lmg and smg has this except for penals svts.

Penals dps comes from the fact that they shoot fast. They have long range dps due to that rate of fire, not because of damage or accuracy.

They shoot even faster while moving, which is also unique.

Actually, I think G43s have that too. Technically, just about every handheld automatic weapon also has a faster cooldown from moving, but they'll also have a shorter burst duration and lower accuracy at the same time anyway.

You may he right but I believe g43s just have a great moving accuracy multiplier of 0.8. Guards mosins come next at 0.75.

But I'm pretty sure the cooldown modifiers for all rifles and carbines increase firing times. And this multiplier is still affected by range unlike svts.

G43s also have a 0.5 cooldown on the move. Not the most important note for these semi-autos as their cooldowns aren't that high to begin with as most of their delay is in aim-time. Penals don't have the aim-time penalties, but have 0.5 accuracy on the move instead.

Paratrooper carbines have 0.25 if we want to go lower :O

0.25?
No wonder they have such high DPS!

Yeah to be fair it makes sense. Every decent Soviet unit has been nerfed into the ground so Penals might as well follow them. Why not give them the same stats as cons?

honestly, i'd go the other way with aegion's suggestions... every faction should start with a combat unit. this is inhibited by EFA's design, since they have to build a structure right off the bat and the WFA armies don't. starting with engineers/pios/REs is a handicap, especially with brit IS and OKW sturms available from the get-go.

that said, the variety makes life interesting, so maybe don't change anything...
