I don't think this deserves 5star. It's a large, somewhat balanced and detailed campaign, but there are flaws flaws flaws. (I've done some 10 mission, no desire to continue).

The timeline is off (ex: siberite before mortars), you're thrown from mission to mission without "pause" aka research is done on the lap by ragtag scientists and "I invented every high tech in OW" genius rather than in specialized labs by a group of scientists (The "new" research is basically shoved into your face like in some modern (read ♥♥♥♥) games "you have to use this, chosen one" every mission), dialogues are long and bland (it's always someone being ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ when you arrive and you have to listen to them, every time) your bases are attacked way more than in US/RU campaigns (those were too easy alright, but now it seems like AR is the only enemy of both US and RU and hated more than anything else), to the point where I have to savescum to know where to place defenses and abuse terrain.

Overall if feels like AR is all about bloody war for survival AND slaughter freaking everyone, not being smart and elusive and trying to shift the war between 2 nations to change the balance of powers in the future.
p.s. Iconic AR unit - hovercraft has almost zero uses in AR campaign...
