Idk what else to say, to me it just feels like the Russian faction is more difficult to establish and over all harder to use than the original factions. Just all the upgrades dont and what the upgrades do don't really seem to follow suit with the rest of the game.

" It represents the Soviet Union's unpreparedness at the outbreak of war."

But this is a game, representing their unpreparedness every time you start a map gets old, they werent always unprepared. Germany had terribly low amount of supplies at the end of the war but that cant be represented in a game every time you play as the Germans.

"They have satchel charges on ingenery"

The satchel charges they can throw do nothing for destroying bridges of any size.


"This is the tradeoff for having powerful endgame upgrades for most of your units and free abilities."

You need to get to the end game first, play any hard or expert bots and you'll be over run before that point.

I love the idea of having a Russian faction and over all it is very good. These things need to be changed though:

Ingenery build MG nests: my style of play and sometimes just goofing around with friends over LAN it's nice to use MG nests to guard flags and hold certain lines. Especially in Lyon it is really fun to just hold at the bridges BTW I know you can build them through the command tree but that forces you to choose a strategy unlike all other factions. My last thought here was how come you dont start with one team like other factions??

Explosives: Following my last post it would be nice to have a upgrade at HQ like the Americans for some sort of placeable explosive to take out bridges. One of the command tree upgrades has it but again, kinda forcing you to choose a strategy unlike the other factions. 

Forward HQ: Really annoying not being able to have a forward HQ, would be a nice improvement.

Tank Depot: The faction has a lot of upgrades you need to purchase. When you build the Tank Depot it gives you nothing....would be nice if you at least got something you could build without being forced to buy some random upgrades.

Conscript Soldiers: These guys blow. German engineers can own you. My thought was instead of having multiple types of soldiers in the barracks unlocked by upgrades from the research building, have one or two types of conscripts that have improvements that can be bought within the barracks. OR have one type and have purchasable veterancy similar to Germans.

Lengthy upgrade process: Like I said above, maybe move some of the upgrades to the barracks and such or combine some or make some standard? There are a lot and it gets costly.



Like I said before I love the mod and great work to the team who put it together. I feel like these things need to be changed in order to keep up with the other factions.

Thanks for reading!  :)
