AA gun shoots down 3 planes

Well, the Russian’s 0/14 at Bryansk had 0,3% while 3/3 AA is 0.5% ;)

Crazy game btw, was just curious how that game with Advances Soviets looks like.
You guys send your pieces into battle, no doubt about that:D

@JDOW:

Thanks for taking an interest JDOW.  Here are my observations from playing it.

Russian side:
With advanced artillery, mechs that can blitz, and support from paratroopers you can make counterattacks with Russia.  Rockets and war bonds tips the economic situation in Russia’s favour if they survive long enough for it to add up.  The increased factory production is a surprisingly powerful tech because it makes SBR a very bad deal.

German side:
You HAVE to take Russia out as fast as possible or they will become too strong.

All in all it seems like a simple and reasonably effective balance fix.  Adding the chart 2 techs might be too much (ie long range jets and radar)
