T-26 and BT-7 wrecks can be still symbolically present in 1944, as the Red Army regains the land they lost in 1941 – possibly even the “Brody-Dubno” map can be available for high BR (1944).
4. BONUS – WE FINALLY GET SOVIET 1941 SUMMER UNIFORMS
Even after 5 years of the game being in open access, we still haven’t gotten Red Army’s summer early war uniforms (only winter ones for Moscow/Rzhev/Stalingrad and late war summer ones for Berlin):
This thread comes hand in hand with BR+Map Ban System And How It Should Work, and as such the “Galicia” map set could be open for all BRs (1-5) just like Darkflow likes it.
Yes please and also add Hungarians as well, they made up the fourth of the total Axis strength in the region.
By 30 April 1944, the Hungarian First Army was used to bolster Army Group South Ukraine. This army group was pushed back during the Battle of Târgul Frumos in May 1944. The Hungarians were placed in defensive positions north of the Romanian Fourth Army and south of Army Group North Ukraine.
From 13 July to 29 July 1944, the Hungarian First Army fought against the Soviet Lvov-Sandomierz Offensive. At this time the Hungarians were attached to the German First Panzer Army commanded by Colonel-General (Generaloberst) Gotthard Heinrici, which, in turn, was part of Army Group North Ukraine.

In recognition to the achievements of the 2nd Hungarian tank division, the German general, Model ordered his panzer units to transfer their tanks over.
12 German PzKpfw IV. H medium tanks, 10 StuG. III. G assault guns, and 10 PzKpfw VI. E Tiger heavy tanks were added to the Hungarian units.
No written records have survived as to whether the tanks were permanently assigned to the Hungarian Royal Army or were only handed over for the duration of the operations. However, the tanks were not marked with either the Hungarian Royal Army or the 3rd Tank Regiment. The combat vehicles also operated in Hungarian service with their original German insignia, turret numbers, and any individual markings.

Hungarian soldiers captured numerous Soviet small arms, ppsh41 and SVT-40 rifles were very popular trophies among Hungarian soldiers.
Despite the name of this video, the newsreel actually takes place in Galicia, 1944.
Please note that the video has subtitles but they are not a 100% accurate.
Dont forget about Chinese comrades storming the beaches of Normandy.
A few select Hungarian did serve in north african campaign, but they wore German uniforms
but yeah they still feel out of place, which why players should be able to hide them through settings. (just turn them to standard German soldiers, like Italians are now).
“The Soviet army captured the center of Lvov, the area of the main railway station, and the Citadel on July 27”

“During the Great Patriotic War, there was a camp for Soviet prisoners of war, Stalag-328 , here . It was organized by the German authorities in July 1941. To strengthen security, the Nazis built a system of small concrete pillboxes located in a circle on the slopes of the mountain.”
Feeling this early war Soviet vibe, I decided to try BR1 Soviets again, assembled a nice setup hoping to roleplay desperate defence of Moscow and Stalingrad
