Actually, anything and everything holding still is a target for the satchel. If Infantry are in a building, they can be easily killed by a quick satchel. If infantry are holding still, they are to have satchel charge tossed immediately. If you need to destroy a bridge, satchel. If an enemy Vehicle is holding still, it is a prime target for their satchel charge. It can destroy most anything it explodes near. Their satchel does a lot of damage and has a long timer to balance its destructive power. They are capable of going toe to toe with Grenadiers, able to do more damage per second and also more able to take damage (because there are more of them). However, they are expensive for how early you get them. Their primary function is Anti Infantry and Capturing & holding points early on, until they get their PTRS upgrade. They are excellent Infantry killers at longer ranges, due partly to their rifles being Semi-Automatic and also because of their low armor. Penal Battalions are somewhat expensive for what they are, so despite comments made by the Soviet Commissar they are not to be used in a suicidal manner.
