8:36 of dialogue for one unit, very impressive. It does a lot to add to the immersion of the game when the units don't say the same thing over and over again
Considering they're pretty expensive and above average in combat, I don't really consider this unit to be working as the disposable force to call in If you can't afford "real" soldiers, also, many soviet opening involve mass producing penal troops which, in the real war, weren't really the backbone of the soviet army
True: I rather like the way they're depicted in Bolt Action: inexperienced troops, and you're allowed to downgrade the squad to include men with no rifles, or make them Shirkers (which gives them a chance of failing to follow orders even if they're not currently under fire or otherwise suppressed).
@Aleksa Petrovic Penal spam is viable for 3x3 or 4x4 games where slower start doesn't mean that much. And having a blob of them can oneshot even Konigstiger, should they manage to get closer to place deadly satchel charges.
Their design is generally pretty ridiculous. Cannon fodder troops whose only purpose is to catch a bullet in someone else’s stead? Let’s give them elite semi-auto rifles, to each trooper in the squad! And satchel charges! “They are not real soldiers, but they will do just as good as special forces!”
SirYorange Thing is the penal battalions did not consist only of prisoners, in many cases deserters and officers who retreated without permission were in penal battalions. For example the first ever penal battalion consisted exclusively of disgraced officers. And their jobs were pretty dangerous, so why not give them good equipment and make use of them.
I'm honestly surprised that the penal troops are the ones with semi-automatic rifles you would think that the guards rifle infantry would get those over the penal troops which would get bolt actions
There are missing lines which I categories into miscellaneous such as when you order them to move a lengthy distance he will say "It's just a little further, stay strong". Lot's of units have these which I find odd no one on RUclips posted them.
Can we all not look at the Hollywood interpretation of Soviet Russia and remember they lost over 26 million men in combat and recruited over 36 million and even if a soldier was sent to a penal battalion he could redeem himself return to his unit with new medals and decorations
I hope you actually know that no member of the penal battalions survived. Even if they completed their job, they were killed regardless. The Soviets were cruel, the Nazis were bad yes, but the Soviets were worse. Communism is the ultimate evil. Communism has killed more then Nazis ever will.
In wikinger these units once they became vet 3 literally the most powerful units or annoying ones to deal with esp when 5 of em can chug molotovs literally would bust and break tanks down instantly the longer they stay in the fire
Penals bully the hell out of Volks and pgrens, iirc in OKW only Obers and Fallschirmjäger can beat them 1:1, while Ostheer has to rely on pgrens. And back when they get flamethrowers instead of PTRS, they ate every non-doctrine infantry Axis had.
I spent most of my time playing Wikinger's mod far i know Ostheer's pzgren are generally BiS but that mod did OKW dirty mainly they're pzgren are terrible even soviets's penal and conscripts are better somewhat penals mainly once vet 3 can become a fallschirmjager but better even the guards are also op able to use thompson and m9 bazooka just makes german tanks like swiss cheese

I honestly thought they were taking a dump.
Penal and Conscript lines sound most similar to commissar ones in 40k

From 0:13 to 0:38 is basically the "Ramirez, do everything" meme.
"Take that and remember there is no looting for strafniki."
He's right. Leave that to the rear echelon units.
02:31, when your commissar goes tsun tsun
CoH1's Volksgrenadier sergeant found a new job as a commissar
Tfw you think "penal" stands for punishment of the shtrafniki, but it's actually for punishing the enemy.

relic should have changed conscripts to penal squads.........

are those all lines? I'm convinced I heard them say "That's how we do it in Minsk!" once
I think this is exclusive for Minsk map only, because I only heard it once while blowing up a tank on that map.
You can hear this quote when penals destroy a structure, like a bunker.
Comissar squad definitely says that
if your not dieing your not trying
The first few death lines almost made me cry
sweet xD always nice with more of these vids.
RETREAT ! this one time
I'm honestly surprised that the penal troops are the ones with semi-automatic rifles you would think that the guards rifle infantry would get those over the penal troops which would get bolt actions
Penal troops were actually fairly well armed, anyone sentenced to fight in them got to keep whatever they came with
All the Guards units in the game have SVTs tho?
- we have lost half of our troops...
- lose the other half, lose yourself. don't give the bridge!
"Strafniki charge that armor"- he said dead fucking serious
If you're not dying you're not trying.

My favourite is, if you are not dying, you are not trying.
You probably hear this alot from Russian soldiers & Wagner Group mercenaries in Ukraine.
Those dying sounds

Might be what you hear from the soldiers in the Wagner Group near Bakhmut and Soldedar.

26 million is not combat losses, it is combat + civilian losses
Rogal Dorn agreed but that then makes it worse as they lost both soldiers and civilians
I hope you actually know that no member of the penal battalions survived. Even if they completed their job, they were killed regardless. The Soviets were cruel, the Nazis were bad yes, but the Soviets were worse. Communism is the ultimate evil. Communism has killed more then Nazis ever will.

tfw penals costs more to train than conscripts
They are more powerfull
To be fair, these are penal battalions (distinct from companies) which were composed entirely of disgraced officers.
