* ObviousBeta: Mission 4 of ''Soviet Strike'' climaxes in an EnemyCivilWar between Vila Ceausescu and Dr. Ukranian. Or at least that's what was ''supposed'' to happen, as the final objective seems to have been rushed: Vila's tank is nigh-invulnerable, and while she one-shots several of Ukranian's lesser goons on her way to fight him, she's incapable of harming him or the player. The player themselves can't hurt Ukranian or his elite bodyguards, who don't move or react to being attacked by you or Vila in any way. The "recommended" way of completing this mission requires the player to wait for Vila to reach the graveyard (whereupon she endlessly and ineffectually fires at Ukranian while he and his bodyguards stare off into space) and then drop a nearby tombstone on her. Trying to fight her "normally" will take your entire ammo reserves and then some. Somewhat lampshaded as Hack tells you that both Vila's and Ukranian's tanks are custom models with ''lots'' of extra armor and that they don't care about you, only about killing their rival. In the same mission, the [=UN=] forces are duking it out with Ukranian's men. You ''somehow'' can't damage them until you've dropped Amad to take command of the [=UN=] forces.
