RE: A little playtesting with H2H
Hello Alby
Enhanced HTH? - Where can I find the mod?
Well, by 'fragile' i mean that very often a single squad has the ability to KIA an enemy squad with 2-3 shots, and also I've seen 10 man infantry squads disperse after losing 4 men in a single small arms shot. It even happens to 'elite' units regularly.
In MBT/WW2 a 10 man squad won't generally disperse until 70% are KIA. but as a unit takes losses, it becomes harder and harder to rally, number of shots decrease, and available shots in weapons 2-4 reduce until it reaches 0. Also, if only 3 men are left in a squad, and they perchance have shots available for wepons 2-4, they usually can't fire all 4 weapons. Sqauds under fire won't revert to pinned status if they are in route or retreat status - continued incoming fire just adds to the panic.
Honestly there are so many glaring (and subtle) differences in the way infantry behaves compared to H2H/WaW that it's almost a matter of 'seeing is believing' which takes more than a game or two.
Simply a change to the 'toughness' won't cover all, but I think will increase the length of time that any infantry unit will stick around to fight.
