How come pretty much every unit in the soviet arsenal is actually german or at least iconic to german related?

The Flak Track is a german Sdkfz 251/17.

The Flak gun is the 88.

The Rhino tank has more similarities with a king tiger, especially the early version of the rhino than any soviet tank I'd know of.

The zeppelin... did soviets use these?  Their only aircraft being the Hindenburg.

V2/3 the V stands for Vergeltung.

Well at least the Typhoon submarine and the Hind aren't german.

You forgot how Conscripts & Flak Troopers look like the Shock Troopers without the German Helmet & Gray Clothing.

The idea for a Super Tank was also from the Germans (Mamut Tank)

'Cause WW is stupud.

The Rhino turret though reminds me a lot of the KV-1, at least what I recall it looking like. None of the Soviet military in RA at all follows real Soviet military behavior and goals with such an invasion anyway.

It might, had Trotsky come in power. But instead we got Stalin, both in RA and RL. But hey, don't diss his dream!

If they killed Stalin and Hitler with Trotsky taking power, RA would be really sensible.

You know that this fault comes from Red Alert 1?
You know that Units like the Scudlauncher (V2) were ment to be german special-units?
Ever wondered why the guy in Hell March speaks german?
Maybe the Sovs weren´t going to be the only bad guys in first place...
Maybe they planed to have 3 sides but scrapped it...

Think about it for a while...

Or maybe they were going to make an Allies vs Supernazis game, but eventually decided "hey, who needs nazis, USSR iz so evulz, let's change it to communists!" and just changed their color to red? #Tongue

communazis, hm. Considering both ideologies are opposite to each other (total equality and total unequality) no wonder why Soviets in WW games act as mental sick people. This is schizophrenia #Tongue

Makes it all the more easier to recycle the RA2 Conscript & Flak Trooper into Nazi Soldiers too (Just recolor their "Skirts" to gray... Laughing

And you need to replace PPSh with Mp-40 or STG-44 Smile
Also it strange to see modern vehicles in RA1, because it is alternate WW2. I doubt that people can construct MiG-29 or Apache helicopter in 40s or 50s
And RA2 vehicles really looks german. Apocalypse tank look like king tiger or panther tanks. WW could take inspiration on real world soviet heavy tanks, like KV or IS series, but they don't
