IMO the Strelky are fine where they are. They die easily, although they damage output is fine.

I like using them together with naval infantry and the command squad because their AT grenade can slow vehicles down while the PTRS tears them apart. Interestingly though, I always notice that the Strelky are the first to gain experience even though I don't upgrade them with weapons and stuff, even when compared with fully-equipped naval infantry and the command squad.

I don't think upgrading a squad grants higher expererience taken in - perhaps either the Naval Infantry take longer to vet, or the Strelky are getting more kills.

Hello. I here you have a brand new and I love your mod and I consider him the best for the Company of Heroes. I'm from Russia and I am very close to the theme of the great Patriotic War. Nevertheless, I know English bad and I type in Google. I saw the topic and awfully glad because I wanted to ask you a question: Why shooters is no leader, and instead a standard-bearer? :o Previously sorry, I just had a very old version of the Eastern front. :'(
If that beg to be mad at me, I'm here recently. :)

I don't think there's a leader for the squad since the mod follows the form of vCoH, where just about everyone was the same (minus the Riflemen with the radio).  There IS a standard-bearer, though, with the "Red Banner Strelky" upgrade in the Armory building. :) Allows you to upgrade your Strelky with PPSH-41s or DP-28s.

Also their combat strength stays the same even though they "loose" a rifle because of the Red banner carrier. That is because they get stronger rifles with Red Banners.

Abuse is abuse and has to go.

CS, Strelky and Guards have squad leader. Conscripts not but Shtrafnies do. IIRC Guard leader look the same as their regular Guards, but Strelky use a different model mix, so you can tell apart who's the leader.

Ah yes, the Strelky leader is the guy with the hat. :) Is it any better than the rest of the Strelky squad members?

Well, after getting RBS if you lose him you lose the flag and the abilities than depend on it :).

Wait. If you lose the flag bearer, you lose the abilities associated with the flag? That's totally random. That means a person can just right click the red banner guy, and insta kill him with a sniper. Now my PPSH strelkies can't sprint, naturally. Or my DP 28's can't suppress anymore. Why is that?

No, if you shot the leader your abilities and flag are gone. That has always been the case, similar to what happens with the CS.
