Soldiers: Heroes of World War 2 is an RTS by Ukranian developer BestWay and is a precursor to the Men of War (Video Game) series, running on an early version of the GEM engine used in that series.
The game has 4 campaigns for both Russia, Britan, The United States and Germany. (The British Campaign notably makes use of permadeath, with the player controlling a small squad of British Commandos who's inventory and surviving members carry over between missions, something not done in any other campaigns in the series.)
The game receieved 3 expansions developed by Dark Fox, a Russian Developer: One of these came to English speaking Markets as "Silent Heroes: Elite Troops of World War 2" while the rest remained Russian-only, these expansions only featured the Russian Faction as a playable faction. (Despite the English Box art for Silent Heroes depicting US Troops.)
Gameplay is mostly similar to it's successor, however the inventory system is much more limited and big battles are almost entirely absent, with the player only having control of a small handful of soldiers (Who have increased health to compensate but are still cut down quickly if the player has poor tactics.) and the famous MOW series staple, the editor, must be downloaded seperately from the game.
The game also makes an odd arcadey decision with weapon distribution that the first sequel, Faces of War, would continue, where submachine guns are the main weapons of all armies, with LMGs being not too far behind and the should-be-standard bolt-action rifles being some of the rarer firearms, that said rifles are generally far more deadly, possessing range and damage more akin to the Sniper Rifles of Men of War proper.
The following weapons appear in the video game Soldiers: Heroes of World War 2:
Handguns
All pistols in the game use the same universal "Pistol Ammo", shared with SMGs.
Colt M1911A1
The Colt M1911A1 appears as the US handgun.
Walther P38
The Walther P38 appears as the "Valter"
Submachine Guns
Sten Mk II
The British submachine gun of choice is the [[Sten Mk II], it is mistakenly called a "Sten MK-I"
SIG M1920
TheSIG Bergmann appears and is incorrectly named the "Type 100", it is only available in the editor and this same mistake would be repeated for Men of War.
Machine Guns
Degtyaryov DP-27
The DP-27 appears as the Soviet Machine Gun, it is mistaken for the DT-29, having a DT Icon and being mounted on vehicles like the DT.
Anti-Materiel Rifles
PTRD-41
The PTRD-41 appears as the Soviet Anti-Tank Rifle and their main anti-armor weapon, it inaccurately holds 5 shots like it's a PTRS-41
