I'm surprised why no one has suggested the BL 5.5-inch Medium Gun. After all, she is very much like the Soviet ML-20 howitzer.

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.

I agree with you that Soviet Paratroopers are undeservedly ignored and I see a tremendous need for people in these troops. Therefore, I offered my commander: the Czechoslovak Army Corps, in which Czechoslovak paratroopers are present, I see a huge number of German howitzers recently in games, so my paratroopers have explosives. The Soviets need a unit that can be used as a saboteur and line infantry, Soviet partisans are absolutely bad and I don’t see it in the game, but other factions have such units. Paratroopers with explosives plus artillery strikes must be effective for striking behind enemy lines. Plus, the councils lack defensive fortifications (even in the commander), so Bofors is in my commander.

I find Czechoslovakians an excellent option for Soviet Paratroopers. They use the uniform of Britain and you can take the votes of paratroopers from the British faction. I would like to see real Soviet Paratroopers, but for not there is a suitable skin and voice.

Historically speaking, there is:
- penal company, for soldiers and sergeant
- penal battalion, for officers. Officers have more training than soldiers
During the entire war (that is, not simultaneously), on all fronts during the years of the Great Patriotic War, 65 separate penal battalions (oshb) and 1048 separate penal companies (oshr) were formed in the Armed Forces of the USSR. Usually these parts disbanded after a few months. From 1942 to 1945, only one separate penal battalion existed - the 9th separate penal.

Penalties used the same weapon as reular troops, the only difference between them was missions, they were sent to the most difficult sectors of the front.

But I also think that having two main main infantry units at the start is an extremely bad design.
- rename "conscripts" to "strelki", take away the merger, give an upgrade to six SVT-40
- remove “penal troops” from T1 rename to “conscripts” put in the ability: rapir conscript, add merge, transfer the explosive charge to the engineers.
- instead of "penal troops" in T1 add - "broneboyshchiki" - anti-tank riflemen. four men - conscripts skin, armed with two PTRS-41, two Mosin rifles. Abilities: anti-tank explosive charge, anti-tank mines, ambush camouflage.

Trophy collector commander. This commander knows how to strengthen his troops, he will take everything that lies without supervision.

Soviet anti-tank snipers - IPTAP. The most experienced and effective gun crews are transferred to these troops. Separate anti-tank units partially armed with captured Pak 38 and Pak 40 anti-tank guns.

Artillery strike or other ability using ammunition

They shouldnt make a complete country as a faction. There is nothing wrong with seperate factions per country like "Russian Armored Army", "Russian Paratrooper Army"

I think splitting is reasonable. For the USSR, you can make at least 2 more factions:
- Guards Army in Europe, there are still many Soviet tanks that are not yet involved in the game:motorcycle with mortar or DP-27, GAZ-AAA with 25 anti-aircraft gun, BA-64,T-37/38/40/41 amphibious tanks (used by paratroopers), T-60, T-80, T-34-57 (43), T-34-76 with additional armor, T-34-85 with mesh screens, SU-76I, SG-122, SU-122, KV-85, IS-1, ISU-122, SU-100.
many infantry units that have not yet been used: paratroopers, marines, scouts.
- Trans-Baikal group of troops, mix pre-war and modern equipment and tanks

But there is about the "Russian paratroopers" - I thought it would be cool if you take this commander, the engineers and conscripts skins are replaced with different skins of paratroopers. I read the memoirs of the Soviet engineer paratroopers - they could do everything that infantry engineers did and Soviet paratroopers also had flamethrowers.
