Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3/Soviet Strategies: Difference between revisions

One strategy is to overwhelm with Conscripts.  Conscripts are dirt cheap ($100) and so you can produce a lot of them.  For example, $4000 might only produce 2-4 tanks but will produce 40 Conscripts.  Put as many as you can into as many buildings as you can. If most of the enemy's attacking units are dead and mostly buildings are left, switch the Conscripts to the Molotov Cocktails and have them tear up a base. This won't be so effective much later as they will build good defenses. Beware of tanks if you're planning on using this strategy as tanks can run over conscripts quite easily. it is advised to back up your conscripts with Flak troopers for anti tank defenses.

You can even make a few Dreadnoughts supported by Akula submarines However be sure to counter any hydrofoils with Stingrays as they can disable your Dreadnoughts or Akula subs. as the Allied navy is good for Long range attacks utilizing their carriers They are very susceptible to Dreadnoughts and Akula Subs be sure to use this to your advantage as the Aircraft carriers are a main part of their navy. But watch out for attacks from the sky as the Allied air force is the best in the game. So escort them with at least six MiG-fighters. Then destroy their base. If you have an Iron Curtain, use it on  your Dreadnoughts. If you do this use the Dreadnought's special ability as no damage would be taken.

The allies have the best air force so make sure you build Bullfrogs or flak turrets. Also, javelins, hydrofoils, and Apollos are probably the best at taking things out of the sky so air would probably be best to avoid or target in the usage of your super weapons. Going for apocalypse tanks and Mig Assaults is another way to cripple your opponent,But Be watchful for any large amount of Guardian tanks as this may be a sign of a guardian tank assault (their targeting lasers will make quick work of your tanks if you're not careful.) watching for bombings from vindicators would probably be your best bet in keeping your economy afloat during the early game (beware the vindicators early game as you will not be able to quickly stop them from crushing your refineries).
