My Personal Suggestions/ Possible Bugs
I already posted this in the "Suggestions" forum, but figured I'd start my own just in case.

After playing from the 1949 start-date as the USSR, I can easily say that I love this mod and it has a lot of potential. A dream mod for a Cold War buff like me. Although I have a couple of critiques:

1. Maybe you already know about this, but in the 1960 start-date, the research tree is far from up to date, it's the same as in 1949. (Meaning you start out with WW2 tech, making it essentially unplayable). In addition, forces that are already deployed by default are using this equipment. I've noticed the same thing in Milennium Dawn in the 2016 start date as well, so maybe this is just a weird bug that I have?

2. I feel like the USSR doesn't have enough research slots. Even starting in 1949, I found myself having to resort to cheats in order to simply stay remotely up-to-date with tech in the 50's. I understand that the Soviets were often far behind historically, but this seems like a bit too much. Or maybe too little.

3. While playing as the Soviets, I noticed that Czechoslovakia simply switched ideologies and left the Warsaw Pact, but I could do nothing about it. I couldn't even declare war and invade. I'm fairly sure that I was already on DEFCON 3, but I could be mistaken. Romania soon followed suit. Is this supposed to happen?

Well anyway, as previously mentioned I absolutely adore this mod and see a bright future for it considering the current pace of development. And it absolutely amazes me that I can even run it on my potato laptop at minimum graphics levels and still enjoy myself. I wish the entire team behind this masterpiece good luck.
