DLC cycle got smothered in the cradle for obvious reasons, so it's stuck in a somewhat barebones state. No Russian or Ukrainian VDV nor non-US NATO members. SF2 is very much the preferred modern multiplayer title just for the variety of shit available. It also falls prey in many ways to being a 2015 game: its Ukraine is much more of a post-2014 army rather than pre- or early-2022, and its Russia is actually modernized to where they said they were going to be by 2017. And, of course, it completely missed the ball on just how impactful drones were going to end up being.

All that being said, it does have its charms. APS really shakes up the infantry-armor relationship relative to SF2, and its Russia is actually capable of playing a proper opponent to the US, instead of SF2's blue-on-blue standard method of doing multiplayer. Not quite a peer, but much closer than the Syrian army. I enjoy it, but you have to go in with an understanding that it's much closer to "Cold War gone hot, 30 years late edition" than Russo-Ukrainian War Simulator.
