Soviet rifle unit firepower up close


Recommended Posts

It was while playing the tutorial as Soviet that close range Soviet rifle squad firepower first made itself known to me. At close range your average 1941 Soviet rifle squad has nearly double the firepower of a German infantry squad. The two PPSh41s in the Soviet squad are responsible alone for over 50% of that value at close range!

This all became apparent when I sent the Soviet platoon into the left flank of the woods that needed to be secured. As they advanced to contact in a line they ran into Germans moving in to hold that flank. These German units were basically mowed down - it was startling to watch.
