That is unless you are thinking about something different than PPSHs...
I agree with the penals not being very useful (too costly) atm.

lmg42 vs merge/oorah, I can't say which is better but thats asymmetrical balance for you & those two things have to be factored into the inclusion of a none commander weapon.

@OP
I do agree that conscripts are really weak late game. I hope that veterancy patch will solve some of this.
However, there are still things that need to go into the equation for AI. Nondoctrinal units like T70 and T34 eat infantry for breakfast. Katyushas and Su76s also do a number (althouh not as reliable). Then we got doctrinal things like 120mm mortar and IS2, ISU 152. If you need AI, it is already in the game. Support your infantry with the correct counters. Soviet conscripts (without ppsh) are not a perfect AI unit, never was, and most likely never will.

Permanently BannedThat is where the SVT is.

Honestly, I think the SVTs on Penals just don't feel right. Using Penal Troops as elite high quality weapon troops, instead of as troops meant to assault the enemy under penalty of death for crimes against the Soviet Union seems wrong.
Not saying give them to conscripts, but I'd hoped for another option.

And even if you use them as advanced rifle troops, you're still paying for the satchel charge and potential flamethrower upgrade.
Perhaps Penal Troops can get the 43 AT Grenade, or some other heavier AT option that does pure damage, but with shorter range? A problem with going B1 (building 1, since I don't consider Soviet buildings as tiers) is that you miss out on the AT Gun as a necessary high damage AT option. This means you definitely can't go B3 since T-34s and SU-76s do not put out enough damage to reliably finish off, or drive away German tanks.
About the only thing you use B1 for is the M3, which has been nerfed into nothing but a one use flamethrower delivery system.
Hm... yeah. I think replacing them in B1 is a better option. Make Penal Troops a Commander specific call in with a new set of abilities and equipment that better fit them.
