Hello all, just wanted to chip in on the conversation!
As a big fan of the Partisan Tactics, I am glad people are putting more thought into the commander. However, I do hold the opinion that the tactics is fine for how it is. Any improvements I've seen mentioned (better scaling, more RA, extra models for partisan squads) are all nice to have, but I feel like betrays the main theme of the tactics. Partisans squads are not meant to function like main line infantry and I would rather any improvements aim towards alternative perks.
I won't prattle on about how you should use them, but rather direct an observation I made. Any real reason they feel weak is because a certain change to them resulted in them losing the ability to counter the very things they're meant to be extremely effective at removing.
Some patches ago, Partisan squads were all nerfed with the cooldown on spawn for all grenades. Which while reasonable, also neuters their surprise factor. AI Partisans with PPSh alone will not be able to clear out weapon crews fast enough, AT Partisans would likely fire one rocket before a vehicle gets away. Now while I don't think removing cooldown on spawn is great for the AT partisans, I am all for it for the AI partisans. Without the grenades on spawn (especially against units in buildings), they hold fairly low shock factor, and I find myself more often spawning them outside of combat to plant mines and stalk.
And that is the other factor I thought would do better worked on. Planting mines is one of the reasons why I love commanders that have them. They provide a great deal of help in securing flanks, and AT-Partisans with a land mine and good cover will even contest a medium tank. AI Partisan, on the other hand, still feel somewhat unreliable even with the advantage of ambush. Therefore, I think a bandaid solution would be adding the anti infantry land mine to their arsenal. That, or some kind of ability that would improve their ability to protect flanks. I don't know the answer to this one. Maybe giving them an ability similar to forced retreat, since it could be like them scaring off infantry with a surprise ambush?
