Supermen Infantry?

[MarkIV]

I can think that infantry in well prepared positions or in rough terrain can make many casualties on the advancing enemy tank or infantry. But I don't think that a group of men in the open fired many times by HE and small arms (and having loss the 50% of their original force), can reply making damage at near any enemy shooters as well as deadly long range anti-tank shots. The common soldier holds dawn the head when targeting with great amount of fire, this is the reason for suppress fire at suspected enemy locations.
The problem is that my troops is suppressed by enemy fire and not always rallied quickly, but the AI rally his infantry more quickly and with deadly fire in reply. have other players noticed this?

What nations are you playing? They have different morale and leadership ratings which affect things like rallying suppressed troops.

funnily enough my experience has been slightly different...
i have no problem with 1 squad wiping out another in an ambush at >150m in open ground, it is completly plausible. what i consistenly have difficulty with is the protective factor of woods, buildings and entrenchments to both arty fire (various sorts, but especially light mortors) and especially rifle fire. i have often experienced (roughly equal traing/leadership rating/equipment) two advancing squads over open ground force an entrenched squad in woods into suppression and retreat. the expected ratio IIRC for such ops is 1:5 or even 1:6. Casulties for the advancing squad at e.g. 200m are often much too low, e.g. the "supermen" seem to be only work one way...

I think this too. As an old Civilization fanatic I think that it's just a little advance given to AI because as we know human is superior against AI. Or then it just might be the odds.

Now in my recent game, random battle S.K vs. China. I'm the S.K and I've pretty much overwhelmed AI.
With one infantry platoon I managed to held victory hexes against AIs perhaps two or three platoons. It was bit of amusing that AI didn't had any kind of reasonable strategy, it just pushed infantry squads towadrs to victory hexes where my infantry groups with one MBT killed and retreated atleast five enemy squads.

Not any kind arty preparations, nothing, nada. Couple of turns AI tried to suppress my troops with pesky 60mm mortars and 80mm which I removed with couple of MBTs while I noticed mortar locations.

Random battles are quite easy to win perhaps with at any kind of army against any kind of army after you get the idea how to fight against AI. For kicks I usually try to win with weaker against stronger.

And most of the time they come in strengh of a InfReg +. Also if you set up AI tank heavy..doesnt matter. Sometimes i think this game should chance his name into MII (Main Infanty Battle) and its annouying to win the battle by destroying theyr tanks..HQ..Artillery..and AirDefences... till the first 10-15 rounds and 200--400 enemy still pushing on a target that they never can reach...but they never gave up and you had to play the round till end...means another 15 rounds for nothing just kill the last crewman on the map

Maybe it make sence against an opfor like China...but thats all.
The times that the russians push fwd with a vodka drunken regiment into german MG fire is over. I think on a modern battlefield you will didnt see a fully armed InfReg ...on foot...will assaulting your company or battalion.
