France Their Gap Generator is Bigger.
Germany Their ChronoShift can teletransport 11 units.
Russia now paradrops 2 tanks, has mad tanks instead of demo trucks
Ukraine always has de demotruck, and instead of paratroopers, it got parabombs.

at England I had seen no change.

England has a special spy and the phase transport.

You can see the different "abilities" while hovering over the country in the lobby.

Last time i checked the playtest the advanced chronosphere didnt unlock the chronotank - has this been fixed yet?

I gets unlocked for me on the playtest.

What's the difference between the basic Allied spy and the British spy? Just the cost reduction? Seems a bit 'meh', although the Phase Transport is a great vehicle.

It's just the cost reduction.

its not just cost reduction ... also the production-time is 6 seconds less ...

What's up with the "Zombie" unit in the background? Is that a thing now?

yes , there is also the new zombie-faction ... just check out the playtest

I like the idea of factions but the sovs "buffs" suck
Paradrops are unreliable, MAD tanks i'll never touch and it's not worth trading demos for them and well parabombs aren't worth trading paradrops for.

Russia should get an upgraded MIG that can shoot air to air and i'm not sure what would be good for Ukraine.

parabombs sound like fun; and would be useful if your enemy is hoarding arty or infantry - also parabombs are powerful enough to do a lot of damage to a tech centre or nuke.

A MIG that can shoot air to air would be far to over powered - especially since they can outrun missiles to begin with.

However, i do agree with you that the soviets' buffs suck; i feel as if the soviets dont really have anything to contend with a player that can effectively micro their units and co-ordinate attacks well that uses the allies' factions - other than brute force that is.

Developer should make paradrops like this:

3 tanks 5 soldiers.

lol ... i think you guys forget ... this "faction" thing isnt about "buffs" ... its about more variety on play-styles + balancing them ...

correct me if im wrong , but as far as i know ... mads (for soviet) are down to 2000$ .... and ukraine is the only faction with demo-trucks ... right ?

beside that .. mammoths , migs and apc-flametroopers are still available ... for every soviet faction ... and heavys are still better then medium tanks ....

I got you dude, but the allies changes actually amount to really nice buffs. 12 unit chrono that's awesome. Bigger GAP i'll take it. The sovs changes are just so meh and like I said i'll never take a MAD tank over a demo and i don't want to have to trade my paratroops for parabombs if I want to use the demo. I don't think they should have to be traded off.
