Specially trained Siberian Huskies, Attack Dogs are extremely effective against infantry, but are completely worthless against vehicles and structures. Note that when an engineer is used, the unit itself is lost, except when defusing bombs. Engineers can be used to repair destroyed bridges (by entering bridge huts), steal enemy structures, repair your own/allied structures and repair or capture neutral tech buildings, or defuse Crazy Ivan bombs by targeting the affected unit or structure. Surgical use of engineering teams can quickly turn the tide of battle. They are also capable of garrisoning civilian structures for protection and higher firepower.Īlthough unarmed, the Engineer is a very useful unit.
While not able to deploy into a fortified position like the Allied GI, Conscripts are cheaper to build. The basic Soviet infantry unit, slow and capable only of dealing light damage. Their navy relies on submerged units to dispose of their enemies, and their air armada is comprised of only one slow but incredibly powerful carpet-bombing zeppelin. Their presence on the ground is marked by powerful tanks, excellent defenses, and even a mind-controlling infantry unit. The Soviets traditionally deploy slow and expensive, but heavily-arm(our)ed units.
