I am playing the GJS mod and I noticed that my command squads have less soldiers in them than regular rifle squads. Is there a reason to use commanders? Are they supposed to effect morale of nearby soldiers?

[zygov]

Of course commanders play important role. It is special seen in mod like 'Winter War' where i had nkvd commanders with high morale. When i attack Finns hiding in house with my Russian Conscript soldiers (unexperienced and with low morale) without support from nkvd commanders they were easly beaten by opponent and all dead. With commanders support from close range they didnt panic and maintain good morale. Keep good morale and your soldiers will do the rest for your success

hold down the space bar to see the circled area other units have to be inside of, in order to be affected by the command unit. Select "show morale" in the status indicators option menu to see the varying degrees of morale other units have as you move them in and out of the command unit's circled area of influence.

The moral effect on the troops is when morality play on, or off also? ..

Here are some questions.  

Does it only affect morale?

Also does it matter which of the three platoons the units are in, or can any command unit help any regular unit?

Do multiple command units stack their bonus, or does only the best command unit in range help?

Is there a way to know which units are command units always, or do you have to assume based on name?

Do command tanks help only tanks, or are command tanks just like any other command unit for this purpose?

Chek it out by yourself

Does it only affect morale?

No. Also skills, like e.g. accuracy.

Also does it matter which of the three platoons the units are in, or can any command unit help any regular unit?

No, every command team positively affects every regualr unit in command range.

Do multiple command units stack their bonus, or does only the best command unit in range help?

No stacking.

Is there a way to know which units are command units always, or do you have to assume based on name?

The designations are self explanatory. A command team will be name " ... command ..." something. Or "... leader ...." something.

Do command tanks help only tanks, or are command tanks just like any other command unit for this purpose?

No.

Thank you.  I see that every unit has a leader with leader skill of some level, am I right in supposing that:

A unit gains leader bonuses from the best leader who's radius the unit is within?

This would mean if I had a rifle squad with a good leader, he could give the leader bonus to another unit close by.  So command units don't get an inherent bonus, they just are more likely to have good leaders in them.

A unit gains leader bonuses from the best leader who's radius the unit is within?

* Dunno, really. Maybe that or the first within range.


This would mean if I had a rifle squad with a good leader, he could give the leader bonus to another unit close by.  

* AFAIK no. Only command teams influence other teams.

So command units don't get an inherent bonus, they just are more likely to have good leaders in them.

* As said, if I'm not toally mistaken (after playing the game for 12 years), only command teams influence others. I can't remember e.g.   to ever have seen panicking soldiers recovering because another non-command team was close by. I think the command range of non-command teams is indicated by circles when you hit the space bar because soldiers can split off from their teams. So when a split off teammember is inside his leader's command range, he'll be reattached to the team. Maybe that's at the bottom of your confusion.

[Garnier44]

That would make sense.

I'm not sure, but I think it is like I stated above:
