Soviet DLC

[promytius1]

First impression: what? planes with no ammo at start, yet I go first? Under-strength units for the first turn attack? Planes that can't refuel/heal next to an airport? Planes that cannot attack? Planes starting with NO AMMO?
Never seen this before, so I have to ask if it is correct. I know Russia was a little behind the bleeding edge of battle technology, but I felt crippled when on the attack, especially as a first turn-first go side!
Thanks.

Two comments:

1- Russia was NOT behind in terms of technology. In fact they were ahead in many aspects.
2- No ammo and no fuel represents exactly the surprise situation on day one for the Red Air Force.

I didnt play the DLC yet, but those aspects seem very accurate to me (historically speaking).

Yes, absolute correct what you wrote Akkula!

Thanks, but that leaves many questions unanswered about game mechanics; hopefully a designer will explain further, like why planes next to an airfield don't refuel, etc.
