Call to Arms: gates of Hell Beta Dynamic Campaign (Rookie) USSR P1 (and final): URRRAAAAHHHHH!
14Hello again, This time I take a spin at the USSR faction in Gates of Hell, and rush to Stalin's Organs as quickly as possible.
Although playing on easy (to rush arty quicker), I found a slight change in playstyle with the USSR; here you start with pretty naff light tanks options but gradually go up to disgusting heavy tanks, whereas Germany starts pretty comfortably in the early tank game but gradually falls down late game against KV-s and SU-s.
This meant that early soviet was a choice between bringing a tank and potentially wasting resources if they went toe to toe with German armor, or focussing more on infantry (not as good as german infantry but more numerous) and support AT guns, which are substantial in the research tree.
However, by mid-late game the soviets come into their own, fielding arty to cry at, KV-1's and of course the KV-2's, meaning that once you're established as the soviets I reckon you'll be taking the fight to the Germans via offensive actions.
Altogether, I enjoyed the variation in playstyle, and can't wait for full release!
