Soviets 4vs4 and 3 vs3 advice

Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2016, 05:47 AMKamzil118

I actually love playing the Soviets in my opinion. While the USF is my current faction I play most of the time, the Soviets are very diverse and can take on certain situations. Not to mention, they also have a variety of commanders which the USF and UKF lack.

My only concern is how to keep a field presence without the Urban doctrine or retreating entire damaged units to heal. There is the M5 halftrack, but do you any advice on how to handle it without losing major ground?

This is where coordination with your allies pays of in dividends. If they are USF, beg them for an ambulance for you to crew. If UK, talk to them about the placement of their FHQ. That's what allies are for.

If these options are unavailable, you must use your discretion about the condition of your squads. Don't just pay attention to their size, but also health. If a 6 man squad is at 50% health, retreat. If it's at say 75% or above, go forward and use your halftrack.

Most importantly, be patient and give your larger squads the time to heal. Healing means more to Soviets than any other faction.
