Yeah, it's a huge Webley revolver! I think it should do a good deal of damage...

It was a bug in a past version. Incredibly fun. I've had a Cpt kill a KT, numerous Panthers/P4s and started attacking the enemy base before finally dying.

A vet 2 Cpt makes all infantry in the sector have +38% effective health, receive 25% of normal suppression and regenerate health. That's like getting Vet2 infantry for Wehr plus additional suppression resistance to make them almost immune to it. Vet Cpt + Vet Lt gives Tommies more powerful vet than Wehr to all units within their aura/territory.

The Captain is also the only British unit to have a 1.5 capping speed.

I use the captain as a way for my troops to get to the battle quicker (retreat)

but I have noticed that he is incredibly weak, maybe if you could tweak his gun to make it stronger like the lieutenant or something, that could make all the difference
He is not a combat unit and thats why he needs less xp than an LT to get to vet 3. Without officers Brits would be the least intensive micro fraction and they are there on the field to make your life harder and to make you waste ammo on casualty clearing station healing.

Captains role is to protect infantry from being base raped. When they get killed faster than they reinforce (locked down PzIV, MP44 spam, etc) you can retreat to him, reinforce (maybe call in a Churchill) and retreat back to the HQ. This works great with high retreat bonuses (0,25 recived acc) that are unique for the British.

I dont mind him being weak, one thing I wish he was better at is healing. He ralelly is in the same friendly territory as his troops, and when he is he grands only 2 HP/min (5 time less than Wehrmacht has on all vet 1 infantry).

One more thing.
Captains Webley revolver has the same 55 max range as a Firefly! but its accuracy is very low then (0.05).

Edit: I just noticed in Corsix (EF module) that British Officers have somekind of HP regeneration (was that added?) but KCH dont (in 2.602 they recived HP regeneration at 20HP/min regen vet 0 in addition of 10HP/min that all German infantry get at vet 1).

That would be good, but i think a damage increase would be good, too.

Can the Captain pick up weapons? If so, Jesus christ give him a Bren or something and he can rebel a whole army himself! XD
