Heroes & Generals today finally receives the long-awaited Soviet Union faction as part of the Timoshenko update, which is named after the Soviet military commander Semyon Timoshenko. This 3rd playable faction is, of course, accompanied with new weapons, vehicles and tanks as well as multiple enhancements to the game.

The Timoshenko update introduces completely reworked weapons, which provides players with an a lot easier way to see how modifications impact a weapon's improvement. Reto-Moto decided to entirely retire the old system and return the credits players have already spent, allowing them to get new upgrades within the new system. All weapon upgrades are now done by modifying at least one of these 5 categories: Rate of Fire, Stability, Precision, Damage and Range.

Today's update moreover includes the new Resource Pooling feature, which pools the resources brought to a battlefield and allows players to spawn from all the Assault Teams present for which type they have characters. Heroes & Generals now also allows for mobile spawn, allowing players to now choose to spawn in a vehicle that's already spawned thus saving time and resources.

However, the most essential feature of the Timoshenko update surely is the addition of the Soviet Union as a playable faction, which comes along with pretty famous tanks, such as the T-34 considered being the finest tank WWII or the Josef Stalin (IS-2) heavy tank, a direct response to the German heavy tanks during the war. Player will also enjoy a variety of iconic Soviet weapons, including the PTRD anti-tank rifle.
