OO I like this discussion :-) I've been trying the last few battles of a German long campaign with inf now on 70% toughness on both sides, cos I got so bored with hammering 200 man Russian infantry charges across open ground, with tanks, MG's and heavy mortars and they're losing 3 men a turn. I ran out of HE trying to kill them off and theyre still taking pot shots at my guys who are in cover, while they're supposedly pinned or retreating, and have several tonnes of lead falling on them. I guess my guys were greener to start with and that might explain a bit of it, but now most of them arent and even at 70%, infantry are still pretty tough cookies, especially from close range, high calibre HE. Stationnary Stug42 fires 3 rounds with 105mm at Russian infantry section moving at full speed at 50mtrs which pins them and that's it. Surely someone would have at least got wounded? At least now they dont charge full tilt across a field, taking no casualties and still managing to surpress tanks at 300 metre + ranges.
I'm sure it varies a helluva lot depending on nation, time of combat, experience etc... Absolutely agree that no-one(?) wants a "Tank V Inf= Inf Wiped Out" game, so 30% would be going way too far - they'd all be dying out having a few rude words shouted at them. But as said, even at 70% they are still well hard :-) Right, that's my tupenny worth...

Yes, we see reports like this from people new to the game every once in awhile and on the rare occasion we see a save game demonstrating this we test it and don't see what the fuss was about or it's the result of too many of one type of defence. Seriously, don't you think as designers if we tested the game and couldn't deal with the situations as described we wouldn't make changes ? We don't just code and toss things out "hoping for the best"
The preferences screen is there so people CAN change the character of the game by lowering or raising things like infantry toughness. You will even find people on this forum who have played fo some time who are playing at higher than normal infantry toughness settings. TRY a game at 30 toughness. It might suit your style of play better. Don't just assume that because it's "30" it's too low without at least playing 1 game that way.
