Default Re: Supermen Infantry?

I recall playing one of the Vietnam scenarios recently (US Army VS VC/NVA) where I was defending a firebase.

I got really ticked when turn after turn my defensive fire at a moving enemy in the open or tall grass produced 1-3 casulties from the combined fires of a dug in platoon during a turn and forget supressing, pinning, or routing them - never happened. Yet they managed to consistently kill 3-5 of my guys in the trenches every turn with small arms fire.

Then and there I changed the Player Infantry to 120% Toughness and AI to 80% and have left it there ever since. The AI still acts like superman, with a small "s" but at least I can deal with it now.
