Profile of mortiferum

Just make partisans a bit more flexible imo.

2 upgrades for normal partisans

Give Partisan a 5th man similar to cons at T4. +1 Model, -Reinforce cost, +RA (both in and out of cover to reflect their role as more than just cover sitters). Maybe give them tactical advance ripped from airborne or stormtroopers, to reinforce their role as "all gank no tank" infantry.

Give Partisan an upgrade for 60 muni (or 80 muni) that replaces their PPSHs with guard Mosins (Or Gren Kar, whatever is balanced) and a LMG of some descript (Be it DPs or LMG42). Locks out the 5th man upgrade, gives them cover bonus similar to Cons or UK Inf (dependent on balans), maybe even the suppressive fire ability ripped from US airborne? It also loses the Molotov, because long range troop now.

The 1st one makes them scale. Less likely to get booped by HE and a bit stronger.

The 2nd one change their engagement profile so if the enemy goes all-in on strong CQ inf, they don't have to fight them head-on. They should still 100% lose against grenadiers in open field battles, but they should win if they use their 1st strike bonus/ abilities properly.

Uploaded for the sake of entertainment.

Game was mostly insignificant (for me) except when the Brumbars solved the allied inf spam problem.

Sov plays punish poor truck placements as well. Even harder than pack howitzers or mortar pits.

Flak truck means nothing if shock troop throws 1 smoke, and 3 penal squads throw satchel.

If you want to speed it up you can use for mother russia as well.

Seriously, almost every Axis infantry unit gets snares galore. Only Riflemen or Cav Rifles get snares with USF. Dumb that they increased the repair cost of the UC so Axis wouldn't cry. Letting them waste munitions on fausting UCs was a sound tactic.

Snares galore? Here is a break-down of what units can actually snare you.

Axis:

Volks-Gren, Pfus (Before AT upgrade), Falls - OKW
Grens - Ost

Allies:

Cons, Penals, AT Partisans - USSR
Rifleman, Cav Rifles - US
Royal Engineers, Tank Hunter IS - UK

Notice how the snares are usually on line infantry? I even highlighted the non-doctrinal stuff for you.

My main claim to the paratroopers has always been the possibility of re-parachuting. Paratroopers are a one-time unit. This limits tactics: you cannot hold a reserve for a sudden breakthrough, you cannot make a hammer and an anvil: lure the enemy into the main forces and attack several troops of paratroopers to the rear of the enemy.

Same as all other airborne infantry?

It is not as though I can re-infiltrate stormtroopers/ partisans/ sov airborne guards, or re-drop falls anyway.
