Their entire setup is balanced and fun to use, although personally I think they mostly mirror USA's strategy, but the USA isn't as fun. Plus they almost completely reference Red Alert, what with the tesla cannons and all (although dogs ended up going to the EUA).
My only problem right now is that supply vehicle AI is fucked and basically doesn't know how to automatically turn around. They seek out the tightest corner in the lowest left area of the map, wedge themselves there, and spend a few seconds moving in place before heading back. This happens even when the supply building is RIGHT THERE. The only time one of them averts this, it is temporary, only happens with the first non-automatically built supply vehicle, and stops working one you introduce a third. This doesn't happen with USA and GLA, due to their non-standard supply vehicles, but that means I either must A. only play in the bottom left corner of the map, B. sulk in in-game poverty while the AI's supply is PERFECTLY FINE, or C. play only as either the most boring team ever, or terrorists.
But hey, Russia team's worth it.
Probably an issue with the supply vehicles being larger than the chinese trucks with the same AI and behavior.
As I said, they use combined arms tactics. Their units when just going spammy can't really faceroll anyone. But you play to the weaknesses of the other teams instead and use your well developed methodology of rock paper scissors superweapon.
Whereas America just spams "combined arms" at your face, none of it really actually works together very well at all. So it's just a bunch of different one trick ponies thrown at you at the same time that can be picked off easily, none of it's valuable to the team. (except their artillery)
Chinese were always about efficient use of spam and careful use of special units and abilities. All your base are belong to us? No? Then BURN. Or get crushed, son, under the might of a thousand boots (and bolt action rifles woop woop)
Terrorists(GLA) have numerous strategies. But it's impossible to mix them together very well without having your explosives getting mixed with your toxins then all your infantry die and the enemy just murders whatever is left. So it's all about careful use of specialist units and hit and run tactics. Get in, get out. Or, get in and blow shit the fuck up, yeah!
Last I saw the mod EUA were mostly unfinished so they weren't in, how've they developed? (I remember something about them using the Eurasian Dynasty soundtrack from earth 2150 and moon project but that's about it)
