Fear Propaganda Artillery, Really?

[_Chan_]

So like, Soviet army has completely harmless artillery shells filled with propaganda leaflets then fire them above the heads of their enemies, expecting them to stop firing their guns to grab the leaflets, read them thoroughly, think hard about the morality of their actions, get demoralized, then skeddadle their way to their base pronto ALL THIS WHILE THEY'RE IN COMBAT?

Whats more, the OKW Sturm Offizier and British Airlanding Officer uses the SAME nonsense artillery on "force retreat" ability? An while we're at it why don’t they have an ability where cargo planes spraying porn magazines expecting enemies to drop their weapons and jerk off while being shot at?

I never really noticed this until I started using it recently, this ability is really out of place in a game like this, it breaks all immersion for me.

Even the inspiring propaganda speeches ability coming from off-map speakers/megaphones in CoH1 Terror Doctrine seems make more sense than this.

Ahahahahah the porn one is good. On a serious note it always broke immersion for me too,luckly it isn't a doctrin often used for some reason.

Best anti-blob weapon in the game though.

I like to think that the leaflets have a picture of a naked Stalin on them XD

Well it explodes with a loud bang. Maybe that scares them? Or those leaflets are like the pictures you get on cigarette packs? idk :D

[Patrykblack7]

Maybe they throw gas bill

Maybe of its used in winter, showing german soldiers they are freezing to death in a meaningless fight or pictures from concentration camps?

Well considering millions upon millions of propaganda leaflets were dropped over the front lines they have to have had some effect on morale or they wouldn't have bothered with it.

The real killing blow of that VS is when the plane gets shot down and crashes on their base :D

I agree, they would become so depressed that it would lead to several suicides

The Paper Warfare is the best anti-blob thing of this game, it really get rid of blobs, if you got some sort of Arty (Like Katyushas), all you gotta do is use it and BAM! No more blobs

"We are losing soldaten."
"Our brave infantry is dying."
"We have casualties."
