Soviet Barracks

The Barracks is the Soviets' infantry production structure.

Official description

The towering statue of a Conscript that adorns this structure is meant to inspire awe and pride into any soldier serving the Soviet cause. A compact and instantly recognizable building, the Soviet Barracks allows a commander to train basic and advanced Soviet infantry. It also allows construction of basic defenses. The more Barracks are on the field, the faster infantries ^[sic] are trained.^[1]

Overview

Like all Barracks, the Soviet Barracks is one of three buildings that are available by default once the Soviet Construction Yard is deployed. Therefore, unlike in the vanilla Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge, it is encouraged to build this structure first, so that the commander can churn out Attack Dogs for reconnaissance, Engineers for capturing of vital tech structures, and Conscripts for offense and garrisoning of civilian structures as soon as possible, and build appropriate defenses (like the Sentry Gun) when needed.

The Soviet Barracks trains the following infantry:

	Soviet's assault infantry Its flamethrower ignites infantry and burns structures with ease Resistant to flame weaponry Requires a Field Bureau to be trained
	Soviet's demolition infantry Able to plant incendiary bombs on everything on the ground (including friendly units) that explodes violently after its timer runs out Amphibious Explodes when killed Requires a Field Bureau to be trained
	Soviet's armored anti-tank infantry Armed with a miniature Tesla Coil to electrocute infantry and combat enemy vehicles Can charge Tesla Coils to increase its firepower and remain online even in a power outage Detects stealth Its firepower can be increased temporarily when affected by Overcharge Heavy armor prevents Attack Dog and Spook attacks, but renders him vulnerable to magnetic weapons Requires a Field Bureau to be trained
	Latin Confederation's fast anti-armor harasser Armed with an armor-piercing mortar to decimate enemy vehicles from a long range Cannot be crushed by normal vehicles nor attacked by Attack Dogs and Spooks Vulnerable to EMP and magnetic weaponry Requires a Field Bureau to be trained
	Russia and Latin Confederation's advanced heavy infantry Armed with a rad cannon to melt infantry and damage vehicles Can deploy its rad cannon to contaminate the surrounding area with radiation Immune to radiation Cannot be crushed by normal vehicles nor attacked by Attack Dogs and Spooks Vulnerable to EMP and magnetic weaponry Requires a Palace (for Russia) or Battle Lab (for Latin Confederation) to be trained
	China's superior version of the Desolator Armed with a more powerful rad cannon Its irradiation deploy ability covers a much larger area Constantly emits radiation around itself, damaging nearby enemies Immune to radiation Cannot be crushed by normal vehicles nor attacked by Attack Dogs and Spooks Vulnerable to EMP and magnetic weaponry Requires an Atomheart to be trained
	China's aerial assault infantry Armed with a machine gun to mow down infantry divisions Requires an Atomheart to be trained
	Soviet's espionage infantry Can disguise as enemy infantry Infiltrates enemy structures Explodes on death Requires any of the 3 Soviet labs to be trained

	China's child prodigy and commando Unable to directly harm enemies, but instead disables their armored forces with an EMP immobilizer Can deploy to activate her Earth Breaker, which make enemy fortifications crumble in mere seconds Vulnerable to magnetic weaponry due to her exosuit Requires an Atomheart to be trained Only one can be present at a time
