Your country caused so many casulaties because the Soviets soldiers were poorly equipped for winter and they just kept rushing at the enemy hoping to scare them by the amount of men and "Uraa", which didn't work very well and instead got them killed. After the Winter War the Red Army decided to get its shit together and make some reforms. Your country doing a lot of damage in the Winter War doesn't really say anything about the Red Army during WW2 because like I said, the Red Army was in a shite shape at that point.

But save private ryan was better true? Films made in soviet union/russia was friendly to western allies. So if they will want they will made some films like ''enemy at the gates'' but about americans which will take 3000% more loses than germany, because this capitalists was bad armored (especially paper shermans) and of course killed and rape a lot of civilian peoples.

Oh i don't agree. This capitalists have no brains and morality. They was raped and killed about million civilians and that true, same true as this film. And after cold war will restarted with new power, Russia will make a films like ''enemy at the gates'' but about america every day, and will show american riflemans human waves, killing and raping civilians, POWs, and other true things and everybody will believe in it.

Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. Please give me a source (a valid source about this, and enemy at the gates is not a valid source).
If we look at the statistics, the kill ratio was about 1 on 1.3 in favor of the germans. And that 0.3 came from the huge casaulties at the start of barbarossa.
In finland there were huge casaulties becasue of 1. Inexperienced officers ( due to Stalins purge)2. Harsh winter climate, if the red army would of attacked in summer, Finland would be gone in 1.5 weeks. 3. Poorly trained soviet soldiers.
Yes, some of that was still present at the start of the war, but after Stalingrad, russian tactics and strategical thinking became in no way worse than the germans. Oh, and let me tell you some "strategic mistakes" that the germans did. Paul in Stalingrad easily could of created a mobile reserve which could of prevented german 6th army being encircled , but yet Hitler decided ( And unlike rommel Paul only listened to hitler, didin't really think much himself), that the german is not going to leave Stalingrad, and even when they were encircled, HE still didin't give them the order to try and evacaute, instead saying Manstein will come and rescue you!!! It's even worse than the soviet whole "not one step back" mentality. I mean when the soviets realized that they were horribly encircled atleast they tried to make it out of the encirclement. If you still think that the soviets performed human wave attacks, then please google "operation bagration" which the soviets demolished the entire front, and "operation uranus" both of these ended as brutal fiascos for the germans. By 1944, (which the game is set in btw) your average russian soldier was in no less worse than the average russian soldier.

In the winter and continuation wars the Finnish achieved overwhelming things considering the uneven odds.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_war
70,000 total casualties vs. 323,000 total casualties
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation_war
275,000+ casualties vs. ~835,000 casualties
Makes a total of about 345.000 vs. about 1.1 mio casualties. And that with an army that had almost no armored force but some captured tanks and under 100 tanks sent to them.
The Finns surely kicked some ass.

The 1st, it is not true and russian section of wikiperia says other things. Okay let's just count, german forces was about twice - thrice more numerous than finish army on finish front. that mean they lose(as your logic) minimum - 890,000 soldiers.
And in winter war russia lost 100,000 peoples. So don't believe to wiki.

didnt you read what i already said?
Finland fought 2 wars vs soviets and the other was 3 years long 1941 to 1944 so there was plenty of summer fighting so forget about this "1.5 week". Really what are you guys talking about blaming the casulties on "poor clothing, poor training, poor officers" isnt that the thing i said? they basicly came in suicide waves.. there is fucking pictures from finland of mass soviet soldiers charging on open fields and getting cut down.
By the way finland was poor equipped and poorly trained, the army was mostly made up of farmers and peasants who was trained how to fire a rifle and that was it.

The mannherheim line was built for 13 years. 13 years. I'm trying to dissolve the myth that soviets charged mindlessly into the enemy. While i'm not denying the fact that something like that might of happened a few times, some people think that this was the standart WW2 tactic. The reason why soviets failed so hard because they had no winter equipment , there were cases of bad mapping,bad leadership and many other things. .For example soviet maps didin't even have forests marked in some places. That is for the winter war. While its true that finnish soldiers were not trained. however its much easier to defend in a winter than to attack (especially if your opponent lacks proper winter equipment) , however Finland atleast had competent generals on their side, while the soviets had all their generals purged.
I'm not trying to make it seem like the finnish did nothing , finns did stand up heroicly againts a much bigger enemy, and they protected their freedom. However i'm trying to stop the myth that soviets had no tactics which is what apparently some people think.
Soviets by 1942 had learned their lesson, there were new , competent generals coming up. And by 1943, we all know who was winning the war.
