Soviet Support Unit Review

This is the second part of my review and this review will be reviewing the support units available for the Soviet Union from the Soviet Support Barracks so without further ado, let the review begin.

• Sharpshooter Team

Role:Marksman, Reconnaissance patrol, and forward artillery observer
Squad Size:2
Weapons:Scoped Semi Automatic Rifle (Sniper), and Bolt action rifle (Spotter)
Ability:Artillery Strike (Individual squad upgrade)

The sharpshooter team are the scout and sniper support for the Red army and their marksmanship is as good as any sniper on the field but the worst thing is that they cannot cloak so making them easy targets of enemy tanks or vehicle to hunt for. Once upgraded individually,
the team can radio in artillery strikes on enemy position to support troops.

• PTRD Tank Hunter Team

Role:Anti-Tank
Squad Size:3 (not upgraded), 4 (upgraded)
Weapons:1 PTRD Anti-tank rifle (not upgraded), 2 (when upgraded), 2 more Bolt action rifles
and Anti-tank Grenades.

As the name shows, this squad is the primary mean of anti-tank for the infantry. Armed with high velocity, high caliber PTRD anti-tank rifles.It is good against light vehicles and medium tanks but in my personal view, the tank hunter team is best used as a defensive unit to fend off massed tank assault along with the ZIS-2 Anti-Tank gun which i review later, overall its great and without it the soviet infantry men with be overrun by enemy tanks.

• ZIS-2 Anti-Tank Gun

Role:Anti-Tank
Squad Size:4
Weapons:ZIS-2 Anti-Tank Gun,and 2 Bolt action Rifles

To crack tougher and more heavier tanks, The ZIS-2 is the perfect unit for the job, this cheap and mass produced ATG is manned by a crew of four specially trained soldiers who is very accurate when aiming the gun towards enemy tanks. When Upgraded, the crew reloads faster, aims more accurate and fire faster than before.

• Heavy Mortar Team

Role:Indirect Fire support
Squad Size:4
Weapons:120mm M1938 Heavy Mortar and 2 Bolt action Rifles

Armed with the Biggest mortar in the game, the Russian Mortar team is like a mobile artillery base on foot but without the barrage ability available to them, they can only hit targets which is only visible to them so it sucks for them. The advantage of the mortar is that it packs quite a punch and wide range but with the cost of long reload time and big scatter radius so using it is not an easy job. But when upgraded, the crew reloads faster and scatter radius is much more tight.

• ZIS-5 Medical Supply Truck

Role:Mobile hospital
Squad Size:0
Weapons:None

Basically, its a Mobile Hospital on wheels and when deployed on one spot, the squads near it will heal automatically and one more thing is that it is no tank so it must be protected from enemy attacks.
