Idea for a new Soviet unit. They could use the current NKVD officer model with some changes, like different colour of hat.

"Border Troops units on the western USSR frontier saw particularly fierce combat in the first weeks of the German invasion of the USSR (June–July 1941). They bore the brunt of the initial German assault, and due to this, suffered high casualty rates. Border Troop servicemen were among the defenders of the Brest Fortress. Border troops from other parts of the Soviet border were also involved in the fighting of the war. Notably, the 105th, 157th, and 333rd Border Troops regiments (operating like regular army units) took part in the Battle for Berlin in 1945.
During and after the war, 150 border guards were awarded the title of the Hero of the Soviet Union and over 13,000 of them were decorated with different orders and medals."

Even with the Soviets' base tiers being around a much earlier time in the war than the other factions, I think the Border Guards would be too early even for that.

NKVD troops in general would be cool. Would they be like sneaky Spetsnaz?

We are not ready for it. We haven't created enough ~~Pershing~~ commisar threads asking for it.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

Better come with tanks and some usefull off-map ability, Soviet is heavily rely on commanders thanks to relic's P2W commander milking policy.

First off all. Tripwire so gud, 10 ammo for a whole dead squad ? + sight.
Vehicle capture point can win games, blitzkrieg save a tank. Fair Deal i think

I would love to see an NKVD officer/commissar that for instance would give nice buffs to units but disable retreat button for say 15 seconds. There are all kinds of cool things they could do...also, they could implement vCOH terror zeal where models fight better as they lose squad members. Would also need to add some kind of tank to the commander I think.
