Grüß euch! I am a long time fan of your Ostfront mod, having played it for several years, on and off. Today, my similarly longtime CoH comrade-in-arms decided to test his new machine with some Ostheer vs. Soviet action. We think we have found a bug. I apologize in advance if this has already been noted elsewhere.
We played a 2v2 match as Ostheer vs. 2 Soviet hard AI. Both computers evidently chose the Propaganda doctrine, as both were using Naval Infantry. I'll spare the boring details of the fight, which we eventually gave up on/quit to windows (we've not played CoH in about a year and evidently were rusty), but we lost due to the seemingly invincible and unstoppable naval infantry. After our panthers and tigers were destroyed by hundreds of infantry with AT rifles, I switched to making infantry. We were unable to effectively kill the swarms of infantry. They did eventually send tanks, which we dispatched with ease, but the infantry refused to die, except by hand grenades and Junker 87 (and my munitions were depleted by this point).
I cannot show you video proof of these Soviet Supermen, but I took several screenshots of a single unit whose health bar was depleted, yet all five lived without any issues.

The same unit was selected in each image and the order in which the images were taken is the order which I have posted here. Dozens, if not hundreds, of other Naval Infantry units were similarly invincible and/or resistant to small arms fire. They were vulnerable to explosives, as is normal for infantry in CoH.
We're using the current CoH New Steam Version and EF version 2.2.0.0.
Even if their apparent bullet resistance is not caused by a bug, the AI seemed to have a fetish for that unit type. I don't know if there is anything you can do about the AI's unit selection, but it doesn't hurt to mention that, right? Right.
I hope this is clear enough to help you if this is indeed an error with the mod. If details are still needed, I will do my best to provide them.
Thank you for your time and thank you for the excellent mod!
