"I see some good and a little bad in 5.3. What concerns me the most is how difficult it is to kill units of 3 or less.
I have expended hundreds of rounds of ammunition, tank fire and anything else I can find. Alas, they seem impervious.
As a general rule I'm very pleased because I think it is more realistic dealing with infantry BUT, being unable to take out small units is frustrating and somewhat unrealistic.
Example: I had a German Pzschrk unit hidden in some trees. I surrounded it with two Shermans and an engineer squad. I fired at it a total of 14 times, including HE, MG (repeatedly) Flamethrower, satchel charge and small arms fire.
He was not even suppressed, I don't think because he kept firing back (and killed a Sherman in the process).
That is extreme.
But that is part of the ongoing perfecting process. Don't give up. Keep us abreast of what you find in the game. That to a large degree is why we have made the progress that we have."

I have to agree with Wild Bill on this one.
The infranty combat is damn near perfect now, if you fire at a unit in the open they take casualities mostly with first shot, then they "duck and cover" and the casualties are reduced, Very realistic, Now,
If something could be done about the last man or 2 of of a squad or a crew, taking 10 turns to destroy, I know you dont need to destroy evrything, Saw on another post, someone said "why would you worry about them" Because, these guys SPOT EVERYTHING!!, and are very annoying trying to kill off.
They dont even retreat as easily as "regular" infrantry. I think Crews should be made a nonfactor in the game, sure there were probably some crewman heros, but for the most part, They proably didnt do alot after their vehicle was destroyed.
Is there anyway to make the crews More susceptable(spelled right??) to Fire than "regular" infrantry? Maybe have more of them die when the vehicle is destroyed?? Only have crews survive when their vehicle is "damaged".Not have so many of then running around the battlefield. If so this game would be at perfection with Infrantry combat I feel IMHO.
I think 5.3 is the best ever!! so dont take this as complaining, just an observation, Thanks guys for your continued great work! :)
