Scorched Earth (attrition)
« on: December 22, 2009, 03:50:17 AM »
I know that it is already an existing doctrine with the Panzer Elite but I think their should be a sect of it for the Russians.

After all they are the ones who first used scorched earth tactics in the war when winter storms came that helped push back the invaders.

 Yea, we know about it, but... devs said no. Soviets are
 the good guys in this mod ;) Er...

 Partisans, etc, are pretty much scorched earth tactic dudes.
You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity

Good idea, but the doctrines they have made so far seems good too so their is no reason to chance them, this late in the process.

 Change not chance ;)
 I still think there should be a solo/then/dual T34/76 call-in!

Riiight

Well if you consider one unit as more viable then say a winter storm in the case of true scorched earth philosophy then well ... that's sad. ::)

Hell even just a simple mechanic as a rigged strategic point that upon activation drains some resources instead of reinforce would be nice but its just a suggestion..

 - Philosophy : No purpose whatsoever in this thread.
 - Sovereign : Oh, of course you are right. But you're talking
 about a redesign of the soviets at this point, when they're
 just ... about... released. So shush :)
 
 Perhaps afterwards, through redesign/continuous balance/
 patch, shall see. Always a possibility. Although I fear they'll
 jump right into ostheer (More germans!!!) and campaigns ;)

 Check the partisans, though. About same thing.
