Soviet Union

## Overview

The Soviet Union's Red Army composes the bulk of their colossal ground forces. Perfectly capable of mobilizing wave, after wave of troops, and equipment, they rely on numerical superiority and brute force to crush the enemy and break through their lines at short notice.

## Gameplay

### Infantry

Soviety infantry are numerous, being cheaper, yet also having up to six-men squads as a standard. They are best-suited fighting at medium range, where their numbers can overwhelm enemy infantry. However, their performance begins to suffer as they lose men; compounded by a lack of camouflage and smoke cover. Soviet weapon upgrades achieve a balance between price and performance.

### Light Vehicles

Utilizing primarily American and British equipment through Lend-Lease, Soviet light vehicles are often equipped with the heavy-hitting M2HB .50 cal heavy machine gun; they can easily tear apart lightly-armoured targets. In addition, the Red Army also fields older light tanks for both reconnaisse and skirmish operations.

### Tanks

The armoured fist of the Red Army, Soviet medium tanks are cost-efficient, while retaining both adequate firepower and maneuverability, but lack in armour. While their heavy tanks are both well-armoured and powerful, their main armaments tend to be slower to load and less accurate than their German counterparts. Because of this, Soviet tanks should be used in short- to medium-engagements to reduce the disparity in penetration and accuracy.

## Tiering

### Rifle Command

The "Rifle Command" serves as the Soviets main building forthe recruitment of specialized infantry and support weapon crew.

### Support Weapon Kampaneya

Providing the Red Army with a vast array of light and mechanized vehicles, both Soviet-made and from "Lend-Lease" program.

### Tankoviy Battalion Command

***(Required either "Rifle Command" or "Support Weapon Kampaneya" to be built before being unlocked)***

Despite being outclassed by German's Panzer counterpart, Soviet's armour forces were rather easy to be replaced at a faster rate than its enemy.

### Mechanized Armor Kampaneya

***(Required either "Rifle Command" or "Support Weapon Kampaneya" to be built before being unlocked)***

From valuable experiences on the battlefields, Red Army has developed robust heavy tanks to deal with the might of the German's heavy Panzer forces.
