New Units For The Red Army
« on: April 11, 2011, 10:46:51 PM »
1. Anti infantry weapon crew with a DShK HMG.
2. Infantry support tank T-28.
3. Anti Infantry/Building T-34 crocodile.

and possible reward unit kind of like a "king tiger" the Russian Heavy Tank IS-4.

I would love to see these added to eastern front.

I love the mod!!!

I agree with the IS-3/4 its the sexiest tank soviet ever made next to moderncold war models

it could replace isu-152 as reward and could knock out king tiger easy  :) plus its relatively quick compared to slooooww german tanks
Soviet is OP

Oh yes these threads are very common and im sure that if you shifted through the Soviet Reward units suggestion thread, you would find all of this mentioned.

I will start with the ABSOLUTELY NO stuff:

1) IS-3 & IS-4 DID NOT see any action on the Eastern Front during WW2. The IS-3 was possibly used during August Storm (Soviet Invasion of Manchuria), but we ain't fighting the Japanese we are fighting the Germans. IS-4 wasn't even approved for mass-production until 1948.
2) The Soviets will not have an HMG because they don't really need it, this lack of a Suppresion weapon is their weakness.

Now the Possible: The T-28 could be a very interesting unit to include, but its is very hard to place it into a certain place. I can only imagine it replacing the T-90, mainly because both are AI tanks. One is armed with a Low Velocity HE cannon while the other one is a good armored car-like vehicle. So it might be a plausible thing to replace them with.

The OT-34 (or T-34 with flamethrower) sounds like an interesting tank, possibly a replacement for the T-34 w/ Riders in the Breakthrough Doctrine.

Hey guess what pershing didnt see any combat either. it was just being produced in america when IS-3 was already made in USSR. and they made more IS-3's faster than americans had pershing.

So i cant really see that as justification to not have IS-3 for candidate reward unit
