Seriously tough, sector arty is just within a point and costs 200 ammo. You can just move out of the range of it and make the opponent lose 200 Ammo.
About the IL-2, i think it would be ok if they also buffed the Stuka close air support.
It is just too weak for what it is.

Have you tried Stuka close air support recently? It has received a huge buff. First it dealt 80dmg with a penetrating hit, 0dmg on deflection. Now, it deals 120dmg on a penetrating hit, and 80dmg on deflection. It's much, much more potent against vehicles than the IL-2.

I consider esports to be sports like any other.
It requires tons of practice, high mental finesse, and perfect hand/eye coordination in order to be on top. There are tournaments, teams and sponsors, trophy's and everything.

Thanks for telling me you know better. I dont agree with you though

Of course you don't. I'll make a small list for you.

1: Despite having a much better early game, Hans decided that the best thing to do was sit on a lot of MP throughout the entire game.
2: Hans lower multitasking skills meant that his units were in his base for much longer than Andys
3: Hans made 0 use of his doctrine. G43 grenadiers could have easily stopped any conscript harrasment on the left flank. He had plenty of MP for a munitions cash in order to get them.
4: Despite having plenty of MP for it, Hans decided to get a mortars extremely late. He then did not vet them up, and kept them way too far back and not shooting for most of the time. Andy's main defensive units were field guns, which could have been easily cleared out or pushed out of the center with active mortar use.
5: When finally deciding to drop some supplies for the tiger ace, he totally botched the assault and dropped down to 46 supply. He lost over half his army while he only needed to lose 24 supply. In return, he did no damage.

But yeah, his ace only pushed the IS-2 of the field with a sliver of health twice. That must be why he lost. The unit seriously needs a buff!

Ive also just bought the commander to give it a try.

The units sounds mega mega squishy, but used sparingly they add such a cool tactical use, that they could turn several important engagements in your favour. Just dont over use them or you will bleed too much.

After calling them in to: destory a cache/complete a flank/destory a crippled vehicle etc, just retreat to base and use them behind main conscript force.

Probably work best with T4 so you have heavy AT, and the tank hunters can help protect against circle strafe, once you have a shrek squad.

And yeah, only use on good green cover maps with good buildings, similar to Ostruppen, so Semois etc.

The way Im thinking is have it selected with other good conscript doctrines, and only select it if a really good opportunity to deploy them arrises, so something like taking out an early FHT, or P4.. otherwise probably stick to a normal doctrine.

I think thats quite a mega ability to have available at the drop of a hat.

Those are Partisans and yes, the doctrine is very nice. This thread however, is about Irregulars. Irregulars are available in the free Soviet Reserve Army commander.

I just played a game using the Irregulars. Sadly, my conclusion is that they are just a waste of a doctrine slot. The only benefit they have over conscripts are their grenades. This comes at the price of being: more expensive to call in (250mp vs 240mp), more expensive to reinforce (30mp vs 20mp), less survivable (4 man vs 6 man squads), no Oorah, no molotovs, no Merge, less DPS on the move (LMGs need to be stationary to fire), can drop weapons for the enemy, and finaly, they don't count for Rapid Conscription.

The Conscript support tactics commander is way better if you want to use rapid conscription, ppsh, and conscript repair. If you want howitzers and ppsh, go for guard rifle combined arms instead.

It seems that the bug with this ability has been fixed with the latest patch! I've been using it and it now consistently gives a full squad for every six casualties you suffer.
