I've barely heard of them for a few years by now. Must be scrapped content by now, who knows? They're probably what I'm mostly looking forward to in the future

They are not scrapped.

They replace conscripts and will benefit from the medkit and Infantry munitions upgrade

Any info on how powerful Spetnaz is in comparsion to other basic infantry or should we wait to find out?

Posted by: Maelstrom 11 Jul 2018, 23:43

No info on that yet. Wait and see.

They are stronger than Conscripts.

So far we can assume they will be better than conscripts and worse than vdv. So something around ranger level would be my guess.

Plus, they can take on a lot more vodka and still shot straight.

All Orlov's conscript variants are replaced with spetsnaz ones ( so that means conscripts and rpg conscripts).

The idea is like this :

Spetsnaz vs Green Berets and specOps , the former is more heavy stats focused while the latter is utility focused.

So there will be even a Igla Spetsnaz?

Posted by: Maelstrom 12 Jul 2018, 13:14

No

Ayy nice, so basically in a 1 v 1 fight with each other, the Spets would mostly win every fight, but outside of that, they have little to utilities and such and have very little use outside of their respective roles and just be basically beefed and juiced up infantry. I'd be down with that 👏

Now that you mention them, are IGLA's also conscripts? They don't have 'conscript' written in their name, but the are cheaper than the RPG variant, which makes me think they take less resources/training and i don't think you can go further down on cost or training time than conscription.

Basically. Green berets can clear garrisons, capture infantry capture and just do damage, where as spetsnaz will just shoot and capture.

I only hope they will not be VDV with slightly different models, and different voice overs, like GLAs Rebel Ambush (idk how it is called now) spawning different looking Rebels and TDs, but they are still pretty much like buildable versions.

Theres also a few extra things the GB will be able to do but thats not publicly known, or atleast not all of them....

Guys sorry for off topic about Spetsnaz. Whats difference between ranger and Green Beret?

Posted by: X1Destroy 13 Jul 2018, 20:12

If I remembered it right, Green Beret used to have a stealthy knife attack like Burton since it have voice lines referenced to it. Probably got changed due to having more than 3 weapons is not possible, but it may comeback in some other ways.

From the old times, the ancient spetsnaz icons include a generic rifleman, an RPG unit, a sniper with a VSS rifle, and someone with demolition symbol. Unless things have gone completely reboot since then, I believe the RPG troopers can attack both ground and air, thus remove the need for a Spetsnaz Igla. It fits, because Orlov is rapid develoment. The more versatile his troops are the better.

The conscripts replacements probably won't have any thing special, but the advance ones like the sniper or demoman might have limited stealth. It might even be better that troops won't have anything good by default, but through a special powers or upgrades that they gain nasty boosts and can maybe have camo like GLA infantry but only when standing still and not doing anything.

Damn, haven't check things for ages and look like I missed 4 1.87 beta versions. Seems like lots of things were changed since then. The Grizon calling is certainly what I think Orlov would have for 2.0, but to think it's there already.

Green Beret has better stats, a cooler voice actor and It can clear garrisons.
The future will add more

Sorry to revive this thread but I'm just curious how the russian soldiers in version 2.0 will look like? Will they be inspired by the cold war soviet soldiers or will they have a modern military look like these images for example:



also with a helmet like this one?



sorry if I'm making this like a suggestion thing (I really like the art design of ROTR the way it is) but thinking of this things as a possibility is what making me excited about ROTR 2.0. I love using infantry in this mod.

Yes I am a fan of Russian faction! lol

Posted by: Reaper19 23 Aug 2018, 0:16
