How about units surrendering in the mod. That would be awesome.

Why?

Why should I surrender my troops?  :o

The mechanics for forced surrender are already included in vOF. THe scenario with the King Tiger in it uses them.

Surrendering would propably destory gameplay or make it 100x different than it is now.

the only way surrendering owuld work in my eyes would be a passiv ability of on eof the doctrins which leads into an auto surrender if the members of a squad are deduced to only a single one

for example:
ostheer has unlooked the surrender ability

a squad landser fights vs a squad strelky. strelky has only one solder alive in the squad which see the power of ostheer and surrenders.

this should not work with retreating units

but i dont think that something like this will be included^^

Make an auto surrender when they run into engines.

please do not get angry at me. I was thinking like if a player has a few beaten up conscripts and they suddenly come into contact with like three panzer 4s. they should surrender. A bit like tank shock but causing units to surrender.
Or maybe if a few units are pinned for 10 seconds, they could surrender.

There is a certain "cool factor" in your suggestions. But what does it add to the game. 10 seconds worth of blocking isn't worth 220-224 MP.

But for a campaign it must be awesome. You could simulate the endless surrendered soviet or german soldiers marching along the way while enemy vehicles are drviving by
