Latest wave of SSU units
Published on 19 October 2012 - 21:43:37

Red Command - Interesting concept, a Command Squad with teeth. Kinda wary of spending 50pts on a single squad, though.

 

 

Red Storm - This squad gives me chills. Add a Commissar with Badass for a mere 5 AP and you can dish out 23/1 against an adjacent A2 squad every round (not counting knives). I can't imagine an SSU player EVER not using this.

 

Matrioshka - The Fury of Ivan is finally here with insanely powerful cannons. I like that only the MG that's facing upwards can target aircraft.

 

Babushka - A true infantry meatgrinder!

 

Mao Zedong - Look at all those weapons! And that Quad 85mm is pretty much the best all-around weapon in the game.

 

Vladimir Lenin - Look at that mortar!

Red Thunder - Nothing new here, pretty similar to the Bot Hunters/Panzer Killers, but with UGLs compensating for the shorter-ranged MGs.

Babushka is the first unit that makes me wanna play Soviets.  Maybe my Axis can capture one.  Surprising Mao doesn't have advanced/superior reactive fire?

edit:  Also, the penis gun?  Really?

Cry Havoc!  And let slip the hogs of war!

Well, I'll keep true to my Sturmkonig for the time being.

The craw did too much drinking and cannot react fast. The new SSU infantry is great! If i wouldn't already spent so much money on this game i would surely go for SSU infantry!

What I like about these guys is that you can add a third bazooka via a Comissar for a mere 7 points, which is a lot cheaper than adding Rosie to the Bot Hunters (granted, she does bring more than just another bazooka).

 Not only cheaper than Rosie/Bot Hunters, but you can also add Yakov for wounds and perma cover or Red Yana for wounds and diverse firepower

Oh God, I just realized that for only two points less than the Sturmkonig, the Mao Zedong is Damage Resilient. And has 6 tank riders. While the main guns are less capable, having three machinegun lines is a huge advantage, even if a bit underperfoming.

I really hope Tracked Vehicle balances out things, otherwise that tank is a freaking headache waiting to happen.

Yeah, I'd say that the Mao is definitely the best of SSU tanks (although the Lavrentiy looks the coolest).
