Those commaders are so lovely

Thank you Hector!

It is only beginning, recovered portraits for units, weapons, buildings and neutral stuff are on the way!

Started to edit this database to make this portraits fit to curret design.

Left is new, right is old:



If somebody could and wanted help me, i will be appreciated!

i expected another dumb salty topic about penals but i'm happily suprised. Love the idea of changing the name. Many people complain that penals cannot look like in WBP becouse there weren't such a versatile formation in ww2. Change the name would shot those comments.

Don't see the reason to switch the portrait though

Because if Penals will change their name, it will be just penals with other name. I suggest complex change, to make this unit looks like new, not stereotyped unit. With new model (from gamefiles), new name, edited voiceline, and new portrait (to match with new model). But totally without balance or rebalance suggestions. :-)

This design suggestion is suggestion, which requires to add new portraits to the game. But will make game a little bit better (i believe in that)!

Some months ago i and Mr.Someguy have a little conversation in QoL thread about penals design. Then we agreed, that this suggestion is not in high priority. BUT, i think it need to be added, because it easy to solve, and it is the only BIG element of stereotypes about Red Army in the multiplayer.

Now, when penals drasticaly changed their role on the field from assault unit with good anti-garrison/anti-building capabilities to good anti-infantry squad with meh anti-tank capabilities, i think they can drasticaly change their face too

Why i suggest it:

1. Now community making patches. IOW this suggestion will reach guys, who make patches.
2. TheMashine in comments under his video about PTRS-41 Penals agreed, that Penals never used as mainline infantry.
3. Penals works like regular infantry squad. As many people mentioned, conscripts is for support, and use them as mainline infantry not the main variant.
4. Red Army doesn't have regular infantry in the tech. Conscripts not a regualry infantry, Guards and Shocktroops are elite infantry.
5. Other factions don't have stereotype units in their teching or doctrines (Maybe except osttruppen).

How this change can be added to the game?

Variant 1:

1. We take model of guards without green coat and give it to "penals". It looks like on the screens below:


2. Rename them in the "Strelky" (Riflemen in russian), or Riflemen, or Regular Infantry Squad.
3. Change their portrait to match with new model.
4. Give them neutral voicelines. Before neutral voicelines, but for tanks, get Soviet Sherman.

Variant 2:

1. We take model of guards without green coat and give it to conscripts.


2. Give model of conscripts to "penals".
3. Rename "penals" in the "Strelky" (Riflemen in russian), or Riflemen, or Regular Infantry Squad.
4. Change portraits of "Strelky" and conscripts to match with new model.
5. Give neutral voicelines to "Strelky".
