giving them all stronger attack values at a range of one hex.

Current attack values and expected attack values.

Would like to get other CS veterans' opinions on this issue. 

I think that everyone would be in agreement that Russian SMG platoons and Guards SMG platoons should have high assault values relative to other infantry, given their armament. 

What I've never understood, however, is why the SMG platoons have such weak firepower at 1-hex. Firepower for the five SMG and Guards SMG platoons available in EF2 at a range of 1-hex ranges from 2 to 6. 

I did some research on Gary Kennedy's excellent https://www.bayonetstrength.uk, which gives a pretty good idea of the various organizations and re-organizations of Red Army infantry platoons throughout the war. IMO, based on the available information, Russian SMG platoons should be positively deadly at a range of 1-hex given the amount of firepower they could bring to bear, although much less so at ranges beyond 1-hex.

I'm playing a huge scenario right now against Dawags, who made the point that Russian infantry, even late in the war, is basically cannon fodder. He's not wrong, IMO. Re-modeling Russian SMG platoons would go a long way to correct this.

Any thoughts?

这个JTCS游戏里苏军本来就是靠数量来决定的，攻击力确实一般，但是优秀的指挥官需要进行取舍，承认游戏内苏联步兵的任务就是推进以及防守，而不是和对手单挑，需要靠2倍数量来组建攻势和防线。当你认为苏联步兵攻击力低的时候，你用德国坦克去冲击苏联完善的步兵反坦克以及各种火炮组建的森林村庄高地防线，你会感到游戏的魅力的，德军不能蛮干，苏军也不能为了战损比而吝啬步兵，德军步兵和苏军步兵的防御力是基本一致的，这本身就很适合苏军靠数量占领和进攻的特点。
In this JTCS game, the Soviet Army is originally determined by quantity, and the attack is indeed mediocre, but good commanders need to make a trade-off, admitting that the role of Soviet infantry in the game is to advance and defend, instead of playing one-on-one, you need to double your numbers to build up your offense and defense. When you think that the Soviet infantry attack is low, you use German tanks to attack the Soviet perfect infantry anti-tank and all kinds of artillery to form a forest village High Line, you will feel the charm of the game, the German Army can not be reckless, and the Soviet Army can not be stingy with its infantry for the sake of the battle-loss ratio. The defense capabilities of the German infantry and the Soviet infantry are basically the same, which in itself is very suitable for the characteristics of the Soviet Army's occupation and attack by numbers.

By the time,I think achill and M10 WOLVERINE armored tank is stronger than truth,8,3,3 is more solid than IVH's 7,4,4,it's quite untruth,the M10 and achill just only to close the history effection.5,3,3 is a reasonable defense data.Also IVH may 7,4,4 more reasonable.
