Conscripts without weapons....

[cephalos]

can you imagine conscripts aiming with invisible rifle? OMG this will be pathetic. I personally believe, that it would be better to give all conscripts rifles, but decrease damage two times, so they would make the same damage, but look far better. NKVD upgrade would just increase this damage x2.

[GodlikeDennis]

But then you lose the Soviet cinematic feel. Also, it wouldn't have an aim/firing animation if you gave them none. The would do exactly as they do now but not move anywhere.

[cephalos]

So it would look like now, but with no charging? That sounds great to me.

[ThGermanElite]

OMG, yeah that would be rediculous, but if they could reanimate it to look like theyre punching, that would be nice 

[Seeme]

Maybe when they punch they have a small chance to "Stun" The German squad.

[cephalos]

No no no no no, soon conscripts will be able to throw tanks! The only problem now is the fact, that stupid conscripts charge! This must change, no stupid, unimplementable stunning melee or other weird abilities! Just make them doesn't charge!

[Seeme]

If any, they should automatically retreat!

[neosdark]

I kinda like that they charge out front like Cannon Fodder. Unfortunatly the Volks and Pios tend to just aim for the riflemen which is really getting annoying. They should charge and just be there for cannon fodder or a good distraction while the Rifle armed troops just blast away. It would make more sense for their inclusion IMO.

[Seeme]

But the Germans are smart, they know that rifles kill people faster.

[neosdark]

Shhh the Soviet leaders don't know that.... Plus the Germans so liked killing the soviets that a few free weapon-less noobs with no combat training looks like easy picking, and then another, and another and hey look at that ze Germans overdosed on killing and went mad and the Russian soldiers just executed them.  HOW FUN!!

[Blackbishop]

No, just give them invisible 0-0 damage rifles with the same range as mosin-nagants. The AI is terrible and needs a fix.

+1... Looks like the solution

The Wehr forces have enough honor to fight the armed ones first and later the others .

Here's how I say we fix it. You give them an invisible 'weapon' that does no damage and has no animations. This way, when they see an enemy, they'll simply get behind cover and face the enemy, but not do anything. (this is pretty much exactly what was described above)

Then make the actual rifles into special weapons with a drop-rate of 0, this way when a rifleman is killed, the rifle is passed down to the next man, replacing his 'nothing weapon' with a real weapon. (I said this awhile back but it doesn't seem to have been implemented)

Conscripts are a huge spam anyway , the guys without guns you just send in and let die who cares. They're mainly just an intimidating rush.

I care. I build Constripts to hold positions. If I wanted to loose a game I wouldnt need Constripts.

[GodlikeDennis]

I agree, conscripts are alright troops when used properly.
