Ultimate Guide

This thread is for the discussion of the guide. Tell us what you think.

Re: Ultimate Guide

I really like it, looks good, got some steriotypical "in soviet union" style humour in there too, and gives a nice idea of what the faction is about.

Mentioned about the lack of the SU-85 in the other post, but I've just checked again and it seems to have appeared now, but further down the page. I'm sure you guys are on it anyway. So all good  :)

Cheers

Re: Ultimate Guide

It was really nice. I was surprised how good the 2D graphics looked. Props to the artists! I think the Soviets are balanced and tiered in interesting ways and they should be fun to play as. :D

Re: Ultimate Guide

Very Professional work people,

Quick Question,

so... Breakthrough Strategy, Tank Warfare, you have 4 ablilities rather then 3?

Personally if you had to get rid of one, the Hull Down for the IS-2 would be my choice ;)

Re: Ultimate Guide

The SU-85 is supposed to be in the tank hall. Our site moderator is not here right now, we're working on it.

Re: Ultimate Guide

Can translators have own flags near names in the Team section?
My will be Ukrainian ^_^

P.S. I remember the Red Alert 1: Stalin, Western "Russian" jokes. Oh, my childhood ...

Re: Ultimate Guide

I just remembered this question,

Since all ablities are cooldown instead of cost, whats Munitions good for?

Tell me the Ingenery can lay mines, right?
#8252

Re: Ultimate Guide

Probably upgrades will cost quite a bit of munitions.
#8254

Re: Ultimate Guide

Is there any other to be added units not in the Ultimate Guide? Great job on the way. Very well done artwork for everything!

We got a the ones we use ingame, but once we reach a point where we will start doing more balance they will likely change.

Re: Ultimate Guide

I noticed that the text colour changes to grey from HQ to Strelky.

Actually looks better than the black - softer on the eyes - (although titles should be black).

Re: Ultimate Guide

Will the Medic Truck pickup wounded men like the medic bunkers and give you a free squad or does it just heal friendly units?
#8478

Re: Ultimate Guide

one point; when conscripts cost no pop cap and up to 4 players can be using russians at once, this may create some (a lot) of lag. and when they can have grenades and all have rifles they would have to become almost equal if not better than a volksgrenadier squad... please make them cost at least 2 pop...  :-\

Re: Ultimate Guide

Wow, the guide looks awesome.
One question, the Tank Riders doctrine ability, will that have animations, and can you see the Infantry sitting on the tanks?
#8669

Re: Ultimate Guide

will the guide also be available in other languages (german, spanish, ...)?

Re: Ultimate Guide

Question Regarding the no re crewing section of the guide. It says soviets would never pick up a German weapon. Does this include hand held weapons such as the MG42 and Panzershrek?
#8946

Re: Ultimate Guide

Deployable weapons are currently the only ones to be disabled. May be subject to change.

Re: Ultimate Guide

An abnormally large portion of the team are German, so we shouldn't have any problems with that. It is just when we get it translated.
