The Soviet Crewman
Today we’re keen to give you the first look at the Soviet Crewman. While we don’t want to confirm the total number or type of vehicles just yet, you can expect to see a robust line-up of iconic and numerous tanks populating the Soviet lines, which we’ll reveal over the coming months.
