Soviet glider landing
(Reskinned british Waco glider HQ)
Callin a soviet air glider. When landed you can recruit units here.
Following units can be recruited:
- Conscripts
- 82mm soviet mortar team
- DshK MG team
- 45mm M1942 at gun (ingame 45mm at gun model with adjusted stats)
Hold the Line!
All soviet units will gain large offensive and defensive boosts, but be unable to move.
IL-2 Precision Bombing Strike
The IL-2 will make a high-speed bombing run, clustering four FAB-50 50kg bombs into the target area.
The soviet air assault tactics are modeled around the soviet airborne forces that saw combat in ww2. Most games are ignoring the soviet airborne operations. Beside some ferocious ground battles like the battle of Kiev the soviet airborne forces conducted a number of airborne landings and airborne operations.
For balance and gameplay reasons i changed the classic armament of the soviet airborne soldiers from sub machine guns to fast action rifles. There are already soviet close combat units with the shocks so there is no reason to turn soviet air infantry in shock 2.0.
All in all the doctrine can use an elite long range combat infantry with support weapons and abilities. A buffed 45mm at gun (the M1942 version) should help against armor.
Perhaps it could be better to chance the Il2 attack from an aoe ability into an anti tank ability but that would be a small balance adjustment.
