Soviet and Russian techteams

[unmerged(52705)]

Soviet(and also Russian)techteams are not very good.The main problem is that they have same skills through all the game.It doesn`t historical.
The possible solution could be like:
3704;Igor Kurchatov;T3704;4;1930;1939;nuclear_physics;nuclear_engineering;mathematics;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;x
3705;Igor Kurchatov;T3704;5;1939;1941;nuclear_physics;nuclear_engineering;mathematics;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;x
or something like that.

The Soviet tech teams are vastly underrated.
Especially Korolev.

I think it is that way because game balance. How fun would it be for a German player to meet modernly upgraded forces who also benefit from a large manpower base. and of course outnumber them (probably). The Germans would be smacked from start .

But it was a nice suggestion there with them getting better by time!

for me that would be better for Germany to get smacked around for a bit instead in my games where the Soviet Union always gets owned

well if you implement a few special events (like "directive #2", which basicaly sets all attack values to zero). The soviets did have pertty good tech, and they did get pawned, didn't they?

What was this directive #2?
And a low GDE as well as low organization should have a large effect on Russian ability to fight, as well as a much bigger and more expensive army to upgrade.

The problem with upgrading them like that is every January 1st you loose you current research.

That's because the AI is terrible at managing large nations with multiple fronts, not because SOV's tech teams aren't good enough. SOV is a cakewalk on any difficulty level in SP, and generally easy in MP. The last thing it needs is better techteams - at the moment, it must specialize.

oh, it's a pretty interesting directive that came from the soviet high command. basicaly it stated that the troops were forbidden from from firing back at the enemy as it could be a provocation. At that time noone dreamed of disobeying direct orders from high command in the Red army, so that made the soviets lose most of their border postions and supplies!.
the retreating forces (disorgainised, tired and hungry) were then ordered to counter attack (that was directive #3), and that didn't go too well eather...
