![]() ![]() ![]() The Penal Squad throws a bag of explosives at an area, causing massive damage to anything foolish or unlucky enough to be near. In the campaign, PENICI instead have the flamethrower upgrade. ![]() With One level of veterancy, they gain the ability to be potentialy best unit at extreme close quarters. This makes them better Assault Grenadiers, since their PPSH combined with their size, will allow them to completly wipe out even the toughest of squads. ![]() With the newest commander, they can have six PPSHs at their disposal. The real threat to enemy armor comes with their Anti-vehicle satchels, unlocked along with the PTRS rifles. These rifles are cheaper than most other anti-armor infantry upgrades and are good at destroying light vehicles and certain structures at a distance but do very limited damage to medium tanks or heavier vehicles, even when flanking. Penal Battalions can purchase Anti-Tank rifle upgrade, which replaces two SVT-40 rifles with 2 PTRS rifles. It is not recommended to use it against targets that can easily move away, however. Actually, anything and everything holding still is a target for the satchel. If Infantry are in a building, they can be easily killed by a quick satchel. If infantry are holding still, they are to have satchel charge tossed immediately. If you need to destroy a bridge, satchel. If an enemy Vehicle is holding still, it is a prime target for their satchel charge. It can destroy most anything it explodes near. Their satchel does a lot of damage and has a long timer to balance its destructive power. They are capable of going toe to toe with Grenadiers, able to do more damage per second and also more able to take damage (because there are more of them). However, they are expensive for how early you get them. Their primary function is Anti Infantry and Capturing & holding points early on, until they get their PTRS upgrade. They are excellent Infantry killers at longer ranges, due partly to their rifles being Semi-Automatic and also because of their low armor. Penal Battalions are somewhat expensive for what they are, so despite comments made by the Soviet Commissar they are not to be used in a suicidal manner. ![]()
