In the live version, the entire squad gains a 5-second sprint. The first guy that shoots also sometimes gets a +50% accuracy on his Sten gun forever (until he dies). No requirements for sprint. 10-secs out of combat for accuracy.

In WBP both bonuses apply to the entire squad, and only last 5 seconds. Though, now, they also require 25 secs out of combat.

The idea of delisle carbines (the .45 integrally suppressed carbine right?) actually sounds pretty cool, since it would allow them to be more unique and have less overlap with infantry sections. Do you know the actual dps statistics of the stems though? Because I think I saw the near dps as 16 but that's insane, I'm thinking that that might have been the pre-nerf stats.

Honestly, stens aren't that great, but I feel like the bigger problem is that their RA falls miles behind pretty much all other combat infantry after they get vet, since commandos get 0 bonuses to RA, so they just lose models really fast even when used correctly past like 15 minutes. I still do think they should have a weapon upgrade though. They're the only elite infantry with semi-undesirable weapons that can't upgrade a unit specific weapon (obers, paras, rangers, guards, stormtroopers, even pfus all can, falls and jlis start with very good weapons by default).

I was not in alpha, but since beta:
-They used to come from Rapid Conscription (Opieop)
-They were a 360mp unit equivalent in cost with PG at that time. Satchel was a nuke bomb which would wipe any squad in deep snow and kill Penal models as well. Their SVT worked like G43 but they did drop models fast against LMG42/PG. They had the only flamer in the game which didn't explode.
-Not sure about the old veterancy (when OH double HP at vet2) but when they changed it, it remain the same as we have it now (bar the "To the last man". Oorah was at vet1)
-When they removed armor from infantry, they made them 270mp unit from 360mp.

So they basically never saw competitive play cause either T1 was too expensive (we use to start with less mp and tiers had a higher mp/fuel cost) or because they didn't provide anything useful (for flamer you had CE). Penals are suffering the same fate as Su76. No one used them in 3.5 years, so it's hard to adjust and balance it properly.

That video and comment he made was in regards to WPB pal, where PIATS do home, I believe they do in the version the video was shot in.
