Suggestions / Re: Russian buildings

The Russians had to set up almost all barracks, armories, and other infantry related buildings in captured houses. The  large pictures of Stalin were used as propaganda and to discourage the Germans from trying to take the buildings from them. Vehicles were usually built before the battles in western Russia and called in for reinforcements, and armoured divisions had them on hand always. Vehicles would probably be best left a support option.

What if you made it so that you have a HQ, but you have to set up your barracks, armoury, etc. in captured houses.
Instead of Forward Barracks you would see more options, but tank depot can only be set up in large buildings (factories etc).

I like that idea!

And for more rural maps there could be those buildings nearby the HQ.

But for balance you should only be able to have one of each, except maybe for the barracks.

This could also be used to help balance heavy armor, like the beginning soviet engineers would have a repair skill similar to PE ground forces, and they would have to call in mechanics from off-map.
