Hello comrades!
This weekend we will disclose the second reward command tree and it will be for Soviets, and it is about some former units that now will come as support, I was considering to just name the announcement "The Return of the Forgotten", but Rommel came with a good name for the tree. Hope you like it!
LHS - ARMOURED SUPPORT
1 CP: Mechanized Assault Tactics
Unlocks body armor for Ingenery squads and gives them the Advanced Repair ability. When one squad is upgraded, it gains more HP, armour, and four PPSH-41 submachine guns for close combat. They can no longer be ordered to build advanced structures but are still able to build defensive structures.
3 CP: Tank Riders (500 MP)
Deploys a BT-7 tank which comes with a squad of Sturmovies on it. The BT-7 will have the "Tank Rider" ability/perk just like the T-34 tanks or the SU-85/SU-100 self-propelled guns, but unlike them heavy concentrated machine gun fire on the rear of the BT-7 can damage this unit due to its armour. This tank can (tentatively) be upgraded by the player into a BT-7a. The squad provided will be the same than a Sturmovie-upgraded Ingenery squad.
This is just a placeholder picture
3 CP: KV-85 Command Tank (700 MP)
Equipped with the same gun as the T-34/85, this tank's role is to support other tanks and give them better stats when they are close (works similar to Command Squad vet Off/Def bonuses). Due to how rare these tanks were, it is limited to one at the same time. If possible, this unit would have a DShK upgrade for the cupola.
RHS - ARTILLERY SUPPORT
1 CP: Artillery flare (50 MU)
Debuffs enemy units in the area of effect. It is the one that used to be in Urban Combat Strategy command tree, but was replaced by the smoke barrage.
3 CP: SU-122 (600 MP)
The old SU-122 will return in this tree, but with the new model. So the commander will be able to be upgraded as well as cage armour (just like the SU-85 or the SU-100). However there’s only a limited amount that can be allocated to the battlefield at the same time.
3 CP: IL-2 Rocket Run (200 MU)
Allows the commander to request for an IL-2 Sturmovik to fire it's load at a given target. Unlike the US bombing run, the IL-2 will shoot 8 rockets in the target direction.
We haven't started to work with the BT-7 and the new KV-85 tanks, thus, their lack of screenshots. If you have any comment or tip please let us know.
See you next week!
Archaic Entertainment Team
Nice!
Beautiful work friend!
good texture, hope not to be the ******* blue square , when for play .
Did the BT will have ability to use wheels instead of tracks? For better speed in open terrain.
The earlier BTs did... by the BT-7, they decided it was more trouble than it was worth and removed that feature, but kept the Christie suspension.
Cool! Finally, there is news about the KV-85, also pleased with the news about the possible DShK on the KV-85.On the whole Second Reward Command Tree: Mechanized Warfare Strategy is very cool!!! I can not wait for the patch. I wonder what will be next week? Reward Command Tree for Ostheer?
We are still planning what we will do next, it is supposed to be the Hungarian tree, but if we can't agree on it's content we might just post the second Soviet tree, and you will love it... but I don't want to spoil the fun one/two weeks before the announcement :).
Dear God, the spelling errors in the article.
They aren't spelling error's, their English just isn't that good because they aren't British (I think, sorry if im wrong)
@midgetdiver22
Just ignore him, whenever he wants us to fix a spelling error I guess he will let us know by pointing out such error.
the Su-122 reads (Сномим фашнсов) !! Perhaps you meant (Сломим фашистов) !?
@chs94
Thanks for the heads up!
Looking forward to seeing your BT-7!
@burtondrummerNY
Thanks pal :D! I'm looking forward to having it in EF too :). I hope you are doing well in Europe!
Just curious, which tactic of the red army is this doctrine based on?
@Guest
Soviet deep operations. Breaching tactical defenses for RHS and the mechanized forces to exploit it on the LHS.
Ah ok thx. However you forgot the artillery barrage ;)
As i understand, the artillery flare is there to scare soldiers?
@Guest
The artillery flare primary use is to weaken the soldiers in the drop area, however, if they choose to flee when used then it is better for you because it is likely they will lose the sector in that skirmish.
We didn't add the artillery barrage ability because we have the SU-122 that works as a mobile artillery unit and to be honest it is more satisfying (to me at least) to have it around as one more vehicle available than just click on the barrage button and let it rain upon your enemies.
kv - 2?
@NEEDACODE
What happen to the KV-2?
BT-7! I've been waiting for this one for a while =)
So, what tree is this a revision of? Breakthrough Assault Strategy? If so, what happened to the regular KV-1 and ISU-152?
If it's a replacement of the Urban Combat Strategy, what happened to the KV-2, Partisans and Sniper Ace?
