Playthrough of Mental Omega 3.3.4 Soviet Covert Op Brothers in Arms on Mental Difficulty.
Stalingrad - once a city which was an emblem of Soviet might, now under the occupation of Epsilon forces, which turned it into a massive production facility. To siege the Moscow, Soviets need to ensure that Epsilon last stand wont receive any reinforcements - therefore a massive assault from regrouped forces will be held to get rid of the factories.
This mission once again have a faction selection - Here i decided to pick up China, but i will record the remeaning 2 routes.
Mission begins with arrival of Reznov and Krukov - their objective is to shut down all power plants powering up the city defenses, so land forces can arrive. Reznov can attack infantry and barrels from long range, so keep your distance. Krukov on the other hand can deal with tanks and groups of enemies relatively easy. Support each other in battle while breaching through the area - there are 3 nuke plants in current location, after which head to south western corner of map, where Kamaz waits for both of heroes. It will take them deeper into city undetected, so you can shut down remeaning 2 Nuclear Reactors. Avoid garrisons and try to kill Gattling Tanks rather easily - once the objective is completed, Reznov and Krukov will evacuate, leaving you to further tasks.
The forces arrive to the battle - Russians from water via naval transports, Latin Confederation tanks through bridge on the east and forces armed with Chinese weaponery in the south western part of map. You can select either of them to command in battle and at same time select the tech that you will use through the rest of mission. I picked up China.
Your objective will be holding out against waves of Epsilon forces until the MCV's arrive on the field. Use Nuwas to take out grouped tanks, Infantry can garrison bunker and defend themselves rather easily with aid of Erradicators, Armadillos are capable of killing the infantry pouring to assault you and Qilin tanks can move around, killing vehicles. You will receive Tesla Cruiser drop support power and Overcharge, in case if your forces are getting weaker - You can possibly use it 3 times during defense stage, which results in 6 additional vehicles. Good enough. Once timer runs out, MCV's arrive and your objective changes.
You will receive Stalin's fist, 2 Apocalypse tanks and MCV, which will deploy in area where 3rd Nuclear Reactor was. Your objective is now destruction of all enemy Stalin's fists and War Factories. Chinese location provides a rather easy spot to defend, in addition to 3 derricks and fast access to 2 of epsilon bases. Your initial force is fully capable fo destroying the bottom base on its own - just try to not lose units to random Adepts/Elites and you should be fine. Grinders provide 2 money crates upon destruction, so it can easily boost your economy. In meanwhile, set up your base, use Stalin's fist to produce miners while you tech up.
Hint? Get AA. A lot. Trust me. Halftracks are perfectly fine at their job, and you will most likely be spammed by paradrops and - once you create Nuke Silo - Basilisks, which will attempt to exclusively destroy it. This is why Halftracks shine here, since they are cheap and can respond to most of threats. Try to create couple of Kirovs and rush the Amplifier from least defended side by Anti Air. Destruction of it will result in freeing Chinesea and Russian forces, which will join the battle.
China may have some issues with sieging bases due to lack of dedicated siege unit. You can resolve it in couple of ways. Either create a mass of Cyborgs and support them, with healing auras of Drakuvs or Apocalypse Tanks, Spam kirovs and bomb the enemey bases into oblivion or use Armadillos under the cover of Iron Curtain to shut down necessary infrastructure. All three of ways work, so decision is yours. Once the last factory is destroyed, it's just a short while when all production structres will be destroyed, resultin in surrender of Epsilon forces and accomplishment of mission.
