The Grand Campaign : Moscow '42 - close

[Dog Soldier]

Delayed disruption is not a default OR in M42. The design team is leaning toward people using it. It prevents the Germans from gaining an edge with pinpoint accuracy knowing which Russian units are disrupted by their fire. DD OR will make that less efficient. The Russians have to assault in the winter scenarios a lot, so DD OR does not penalize them so much.

In the summer scenarios DD OR really helps the Russian defense slow done the Germans breaking through the bunker lines. Every so often (under the DD OR) the Germans might make a miscalculation and suffer severe losses assaulting a bunker. This evens things out as the Russians have a hard time containing the Germans in the open if they do not injure them significantly as the Germans work they through the tough bunker defenses.

This forum contains a good discussion of the effect of the DD OR in M42. I was started by razier, IIRC.
