[1.04] Terror Doctine forced retreat

[Versedhorison]

 Dear dev's
Is the problem regarding the Wehrmacht's terror doctrine ability 'forced retreat' being fixed in patch 1.05? or has this problem not been figured out yet?

Cheers

same question
i would love to use this on the f******* mob of
anti-tank wielding troops that apears in many 2v2s and 3v3s i played. 2 soviet roll with engenerys and one gets man VS tanks
and the all of the sudden storms with 8 or more squads
But my allmigthy Panzer Elite Stg 44 troops owned the ****faces

Forced retreat/prop war doesn't work at the moment(yes we know its VERY annoying) because the soviets have no retreat function to be affected by it.

We've been looking into giving it a different function  to affect the soviets but so far our coders have not managed it.

I've recently passed them some information that might allow us to do this but, I've not heard anything as yet.

So, unfortunatelly it may be that those abilities remain gimped  vs Soviets

Why not red pin them? If they had a command squad though how would that work?

[Versedhorison]

Also since the Wehrmacht officer has the same ability of forced retreat he will need to be fixed too.

I actually thought about this. It would be a good equivilent imo.

[Ghost]

yes, but a command squad would counter that and make it useless 

[SauerKRAUT]

ya that was why it was in question marks, it might get a little complex but what about a penalty if they try to unpin using the command squad like a guy from each squad gets shot to restore order? Have no clue if that is even possible..

i think pinning them red would be fine
Imagine the scenario: soviets run up to your MG-42(s)
the get pinned...officer fires them up...propaganda pins them again...and then the get all eaten by charging flamer pios or Volks while they are pinned.
And when you have faceraped the Soviet Blob that way, you take the whole map and then win the game

Bingo. That would definitely hurt us Soviets. We would be wishing that we could retreat by the time we see the flame pios...

[Der Deutsche]

yeah pinning them red WOULD be a great idea if the russians wouldn´t have so many suppression-breaking abillitys

[Narizna]

they have suppression breaking abilities because they can't retreat .

though red pinning them is a nice alternative.

I did notice that players tend to forget to build a COmmand Squad in long games particularly when they go armor, it would work rather well

[Narizna]

right,

i build a command squad, when it dies i forget to build it again.

I make the command squad a priority. It definitely helps to pick up the slack of my early game infantry. It even helps in late game...
