I like the earlier equipment, before the Soviets have loads of heavy tanks and it became more of a war of attrition where you just grind the Axis forces down. Not that they had it any easier facing Panthers and Tigers. I just prefer the period their backs were against the wall and the final outcome was in doubt (from a player perspective).

For me, commanding a company of JS's gets boring as the campaign wear's on. It becomes more a situation where you just pound the axis into submission as opposed to having to rely on recon, maneuver and sneakiness to beat them.

that's the point imho: putting the final outcome in doubt. we all now how the war went on after germany invaded russia,
but it's the vague possibility of "what if" that keeps a campaign game interesting. what if i can't hold these heights overlooking a vital crossing?
what if i fail breaking up that armoured assault? will moscow fall because of me?

for me the early war period is already covered by at least 2 campigns for spwaw. Kursk on the other hand has not been covered from the soviet pov, and was also a battle where the outcome was in doubt. not only that but it could make for some very interesting tank engagements, and defensive battles.

edit: although I think the leningrad operations are also interesting material.

I rather enjoyed the Stug campaign. I like the Suchka so how about something similar based on the SU-76?

They were definetly used extensively enough, and with rifle battalions to make something like that possible.
