Alright I will be the first person to ever say this but the new partisans are OP. I've been using the for the past few games and they are monsters.
They are too cheap for how effective they are, only 210 manpower. They consistently kill ass grens and sturmpios, and with vet the become monsters. I think the performance may be fine, but they definitely need to be at least 250 manpower.
I noticed this too.
In the balance preview after they removed the ridiculous StGs, the MP-40s felt really weak, but now the PPSHs they have are almost as good as those StGs.
They can camo, plant mines and wire, throw molotovs and regular nades (or AT nades) and will very likely win in a 1on1 when they deploy from a building given that the enemy player may not react as his units looked like they were safe on an empty cap point. (even if he does react, partisans will beat grens EASY if they deploy close enough.)
also this commander has MAPHACKS which are very very useful for only 50 munitions, and mark vehicle can make up for lack of a good tank call-in.
(please don't nerf them though
)
