command squad combat bonuses?

[Sputnik7]

how do command squad bonuses work? I know they don't act like LTs for brits. But when the command squad gets vet 1, all of a sudden every unit has that red icon below their unit icon.

Can someone explain command squad bonuses to me?

[cephalos]

When they get Vet 1,2,3 you have possibilty to choose either global offensive bonus or global deffensive bonus. That means that all units get this bonus ( 5% I think).

[Rikard Blixt]

I believe it only gives the bonuses to infantry unit. 5% either more damage or less damage taken.

Applies to all infantry units on the field, not just nearby.

[Zerstörer]

Indeed Rizz is right. However, those bonuses are a bit too small at the moment, so we'll either increase them or add 'accuracy' as well...maybe both 

[GreenApple]

Also for vehicles/tanks?

please dont increase the bonusses
russian are strong enough as they are
especially the panzer elite struggles hard
i played loads of 1 vs 1 vs a friend of mine who is not as good as me but with the soviets everyone is a threat

[Rikard Blixt]

Panzer Elite has it really easy berating Soviets.

I'd recommend you watch some of the replays from our latest tournament involving PE...I think you'll find its the other way around...

Btw, how about giving +1 CP when Command Squad reaches Vet3? (like british leuts do)

Or how about giving 4 body gourds to every British and German officer?

Remember that the vet's effect is global unlike the Lt's. If you are going to change it, it shouldn't be by much.

The USSR's problem with PE comes from the early ligth vehicles. The vet wouldn't really help much with that problem.

A buff to the commanders peneltration against ligth vehicles would be a better buff.

i agree the wermacht officer and the british Lieutenant and major or captain i dont remember are defenceless to sniper shot
despite that fact this weakness give you motive to protect them and use them wisely at the battlefield so i amm 50 50 to this subject

I don't know the wehrmacht officer, but I think the UK officers have the same armor than KCH.

[Kolaris]

The Soviet Major himself shares the armour type of Knights Cross Holders and British Officers (Heroic), but his critical type is that of normal Infantry, which means he's OHK'd by Snipers but is a bit less flammable.

His 4 Bodyguards are just standard Infantry with high health though.

[Paciat]

I don't know the wehrmacht officer, but I think the UK officers have the same armor than KCH.

Heroic armor, just like USRR majior (not bodygaurds).
Wehrmacht Officer has 140HP (60 more than veted LTs and a Captain) and same armor type and vet bonuses as grenadiers (elite armor at vet 2).

His 4 Bodyguards are just standard Infantry with high health though.

Airborne Armour at vet 2.
A command squad is much better than a Tommy squad+an LT... and twice as cheap.
