Penal company - the guilty soldiers and sergeants
Penal battalions - the guilty officers. Each soldier had a great experience and training (as they Officers)
Nobody sent unarmed penal unarmed guns - is idiotic
After 4 months stay in a penal unit restores soldiers in rank and awards and could no longer be sent to penal units
Thank you, someone who actually reads into things.
Anyway back on topic. Correct me if I'm wrong (Waiting for Nullist to jump in here or someone with good knowledge of the game statistics and tables.) but do grenadiers have a better chance of hitting targets than Penals? This would explain the apparent "ineffectiveness" of the SVT against G43s. Or are the damage tables for both guns radically different?
