I hope new Soviet commanders will have the shock troops, they are perfect for my style of play - very compact but very effective army. Conscripts sucks.
Soviet paratroopers were sometimes mistaken for tank crewmen or pilots because of the helmet.
I really, really, really want to Soviet paratroopers. But that tank helmet. Parachuting looks like this:
It would be cool to combine the Paratroopers and tanks (as in Soviet - Japanese war, when paratroopers dropped on the day before arrival of a tank army)
We have to admit they are improving,Brits only add one new faction which seems to have the biggest amount of unique abilitys and units. Compared to for example vCoh2 or WFA.
Problem is that they didnt put the same effort into all factions.
Cmon Relic there already was a poll in the Coh2 beta forums with 80%+ votes for a change to the Grenadier winter uniform. The magazine was also added to AT rifle. So also please change this fantsy bear fur outfit.
I was in Alpha and I did not like the British. And I do not understand why add one faction? Some people prefer Axis and would like to see, and a new Axis faction.
The Combat Engineers are not meant to be Assault Engineers, those guys are already sorta-portrayed as Shock Troops. Although if Shocks had demo or satchel they'd more fit the real-life role. The Combat Engineers in game seem like rear-echelon types, they lay mines, fix vehicles, and complain about combat ("We are builders, not killers, why are they shooting at us!?")
Camouflage developed in the department of Engineering Institute (now 15 TSNIII behalf Karbyshev). Spread camouflage engaged the engineering troops. Sappers have always been a camouflage.
I agree with OP, the Wehr and USSR need to be of the same care and eye for detail as the newest factions (IMO the best unit model in the game are the obers FWIW).
The camouflage grens suck, why not just use the far superior PzFus model from OKW tweaked slightly?
My other bugbear is Wehr vehicle crews wearing helmets. Virtually all images show them wearing soft caps.
Lastly, the Russian combat engineers look like farmers, not gnarly front-line combat troops. Give them camouflage suits like the summer-uniform snipers at least.
To distinguish the engineers from the sniper, I suggest that the camouflage was green or other type of camouflage.
When the game was designed only for developers to make two statements are not fulfilled:
- A single company is historical and is apolitical.
- The second part of the game will be completely Dedicated to the Eastern Front.
Gathering consultation with friends, we came to an agreement: no new Soviet faction - no money.

The motto of the Guard in Great Patriotic War:
