Trivia[]
- While controlling the Spetsnaz infantry in the first section of the mission, the player cannot move them and roam freely outside the camp. The prohibited areas will be indicated with the No-symbol cursor hovering on them and the Spetsnaz will not abide your orders upon attempting to do a move-order on these areas, chastising the player by saying that these orders would mean suicide.
- The same roaming-prohibited function also occurs in the second part of the mission when the player controls the four T-80Us, where the player is not allowed to move their tanks on the east side of the main avenue until they will have heavy anti-air vehicle reinforcements.
- Two of the four enemy heavy artillery vehicles near a large building across the Moltke Bridge are scripted to be invulnerable to all forms of damage.
- The initial heavy tanks that the player will control start with the second highest rank, making them significantly more powerful, durable, and valuable to have. It is advised to keep them alive throughout the battle.
