[@DuckieMcduck]

I think they wanted to sell it separately and not worry about balance/splitting the playerbase.

[@Dr.Deluxe]

@@DuckieMcduck that makes sense. Red Alert 3 already had a pretty balanced-ish multiplayer so they didn't need to reinvent it like Kane's Wrath did. I guess now that think about it most the good units in Uprising went to the Allies and they were already pretty strong in base game.

[@theotv5522]

It's not really fair for Flak troopers to be on the field solo. Because Soviets infantry are supposed to be mass-produced. I mean, when you see Soviets infantry, you will always see more infantry.

[@Советскийрабочий]

Soviet infantry units more effective in buildings, so you can use them in defence. One of ideas 1)Training an ingenier 2)Build a bunker 3) In this bunker you can keep: flak troopers, conscripts, desolatios, tesla troopers or Natasha.

[@theotv5522]

@@Советскийрабочий If there's anything I learn from playing other RTS games like AOE2 and Rise of Nations is that it's better to rush and do skirmish to disturb the enemy economy as early as possible. And the Soviets are great at that, since their infantry is very expandable and quick to mass. If you let them boom (aka waste time to build defensive structures like that), then later there's no stopping them from turning all that credit into units and crush your base.

[@tuongnguyenluong2208]

Flak can deal slash damage while other two can't

[@MagizardInternet]

Then what is the point of having a comparison 1 on 1? The idea is to see who is best among them individually. Flak Troopers being the cheapest is a pro for them since they're easy to produce en-masse.

it's a unit v unit comparison not a tactics comparison. Hence its weakness as a solo unit

Flak troopers are cheap, does AOE, ok DPS, but loses out on damage at that front and are apparently bad at dealing with "Armored" units. Javelins, are DPS focused, single target and does decent damage against "Armored" ( reason why it loses to flak trooper in that 1v1 ) Archer maidens on the other hand are single target ( except their ability ), sacrifices DPS for straight up damage against air and infantry and thats about it though, no use trying to compare the archer maiden in the anti tank role when you have the dedicated infantry for that specific role.

[@alexanerose4820]

@w They already have rockets though. It's just that compared to the Allies and the Soviets (especially the Soviets nobody beats those guys in terms of explosives) their nano-produced rockets just don't have that OMPH! factor. Then again said rockets are placed on turrets that can switch from AA to to land blasters and are on helicopters with legs that can do the same so I say it's a good trade-off. That and if you think about it: an energy bolt that long on a bow and arrow would discharge a lot of energy on anything it hits and since it's ultra light and is not cumbersome it should hurt a lot so it kinda makes sense.
