well I think the Osttruppen are rather useless or 'very situational' if you wanna say it the nice way


A bit offtopic, excuse me for that: It makes few sense that in most campaign missions there's tons of Osttruppen with the badge of the 'Russian Liberation Army' and only a few actual Germans. Especially in Berlin it's kinda weird. But most people don't mind that detail I guess.

Back on topic (kinda): My suggestion concerning Osttruppen is rather 'radical': Get rid of them! They have only one true quality right now: they look cool. And these cool looks is what some german winter units are currently lacking (fur shaws anyone?) - with Osttruppen gone the cool looks could easily be handed over if you get what I mean

@Curity:

Are people in Russia actually aware that the Red Army, as heroic as it was defeating the fascist thread, also may have commited some war crimes. Don't get me wrong this does not mean that individual soldiers of the Red army are more or less evil than soldiers of other nations. But the bigger an army is and the longer it participates in a war the more warcrimes there are.
I mean is the fact that there were warcrimes alongside the great heroism of the Red Army acknowledged in russian society? There was great heroism and sacrifice without question, but russian society should also deal with the dark side effects of such a revenge-driven conflict.

The whole world is aware that bad stuff happened and yet Russia and some CIS states seem to refuse to believe it. The majority of historians all over the globe acknowledges these darker facts about the Red Army.
I am not saying Relic's portayal was accurate. What I'm saying is that the world is aware that the Red Army commited warcrimes. And Russia should acknowledge that.

Which does not render the great heroism that was an unforgettable part of the Red Army less important. But mistakes have to be admitted. Otherwise you'll loose credibility. As I said before, in a coflict of that scale and with such a long timespan warcrimes are bound to happen. On both sides. I hope you know that. I hope you are not in denial.
