Operational doctrine
Chuikov anchors operations around indestructible strongpoints. A 2,250 HP base that fires defensive batteries 20% faster deters early rushes and survives sudden-death pressure longer than any rival command.
- Enemy strike craft and naval missile bombardments take significantly longer to crack HQ.
- Rapid-firing base batteries shred unescorted light vehicles that wander near the base perimeter.
Signature tech: Not One Step Back
Reinforces headquarters to over 2,500 effective HP while tuning defensive fire controls for blistering anti-surface and anti-air response.
