>Enemy is encircled, unsupplied, outnumbered, outgunned, without air support>Still run up a negative K/DAre Germans just this godlike on the battlefield or are Russians genuinely retarded?
>>18552358>are Russians genuinely retardeddefinitely this
>>18552358the jeeish bolsheviks just didn't care about rusgoy casualtiesBut rusgoys tend to have a dysfunctional, hierarchical battlefield culture even if left alone
>>18552358>unsupplied only matters long-term>outgunneddoesn't really mean much if you're still met with sufficient resistance and are the one on the offensive>encircledstill in a superior position due to defending a heavily urban area in covers, while the one on the offensive has to push you out>without air supportunless you're flattening the entire city (which they didn't), it will not negate the being on the offensive in a heavily urban area part
>>18552358>outnumberedalso meaningless because it's an urban area, you're not going to be able to utilize your manpower due to urban limitations like the size of streets, limited cover and endless factors
Russian commanders tend to be psychopaths who sacrifice huge numbers of soldiers for personal aggrandizement as often as tactical and strategic objectives. In this, nothing has really changed with modern Russia. They fight wars the same way. But what makes this style of command work is the fact that Russian people are generally pessimistic fatalists, for whom death in battle is a preferable alternative to continued living in Russia. The union of these two forces, the psychopathic commanders and suicidal soldiers, results in a war machine that can absorb a tremendous number of casualties. In fact, it is practically designed to achieve results through tremendous casualties in its own ranks, and Russia seldom ever fights or wins a war where it is not the majority of casualties.
>>18552667>>18552671Ah yes, material advantages don't mean anything at all in war. Tell me then, mr arm chair general, what DOES matter, if numerical superiority, air superiority, supply, and maneuver apparently have no effect whatsoever
>>18552699>what does matterthe fact the soviets are OP in every fucking game due to their made-up stats
>>18552358nazis in Budapest weren't unsupplied, weren't that much outnumbered (around 2,5 to 1, lot of Soviet forces had to be redirected to defend against citry relieving counterattacks from Austria) overall there's nothing really noteworthy in the siege of budapest, other than that Hitler retardation caused the garnison to died there while it was possible from them to break out
