Infantry Units

This page will go over special infantry squads.

## Infantry Quality

Quality affects your troop's abilities to fight effectively, and how well they follow the orders given to them. It also affects how much fire they can take before they become suppressed, Quality also causes infantrymen to be more trigger-happy. There are 3 levels of Quality;

* Poor Quality

This is usually a Volunteer Civilian, Civilian or a Criminal sent to war, they're cheap and sometimes carry anti tank weaponry such as those in Volksturm. However, Poor Quality Infantry should never be used offensively but need to be used defensively, the poor quality are severely undertrained which make them very inaccurate and inadequate, they are not disciplined like those of a regular and elite infantry.

* Regular Quality

Most of the Soldier in the game are Regular Quality, these are regular soldier and can be used both offensively and defensively, it is quite good, and this infantry quality perform quite nicely, it has a decent accuracy and regular level of discipline

* Elite Quality

Elire Troop are the best of the best in the game, they are better than regular Infantry and get the job done better than regular troops, they're best used offensively but still perform great when defending. They are very accurate with their shots and are very diciplined, with this level preformance they get the job insanely well!
