Tactical Applications
⚔️ Battlefield Deployment Suggestions:
Human Wave Assaults
Overwhelm enemy positions with sheer numbers. The Soviet doctrine often relied on mass infantry attacks to break through defensive lines.
Urban Combat Specialists
Create SMG-heavy squads for city fighting. The PPSh-41 proved devastating in the close quarters of urban warfare.
Anti-Tank Teams
Pair PTRD rifles with infantry support. These teams were vital for dealing with German armor, especially in the early war period.
Defensive Strongpoints
Utilize DP-28 LMGs to create interlocking fields of fire. Soviet defenders were masters of creating killing zones.
Political Enforcement
Position commissars behind your lines to maintain morale. These political officers ensured that no one retreated without orders.
Modeling and Painting Tips
