* LightningBruiser: The Panther Medium Tank. Compared to its rivals, the Sherman and T-34, it can take far more damage, while also boasting a high velocity 75mm tank gun that has far more potency than the 76mm guns used on the American and Soviet tanks. In addition, for a tank of its size, its surprisingly fast.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Rather than get a bombing run like the US and Germany, the Soviet equivalent is the Katyusha Strike, which launches dozens of rockets at German positions and reduces anything within its radius to ruin.
