while partisans have recieved quite a significant buff, the doctrine as a whole is very much an early game all in. they definitely dont scale as well other infantry and the fact that theyre a 4 man SMG squad means that theyll be bled pretty hard on approach after they get spawned. they also cost 26 to reinforce. their shock value is high, as they should be imo, but they do fall off quite hard and once you realize the enemy has gone partisans you know they wont have any heavy tanks or artillery to deal with.
currently 2 volks grenades will burn down one house, and you can use flamers as ostheer to burn down houses or occupy them yourself to prevent spawning.
If they have similar veterancy as before, they do not fall off hard.
They get -17% rec. accuracy on vet 2.
