The Special Rifle Command, Support Weapon Kampaneya, Mechanized Armor Kampaneya, and the Tankoviy Battalion Command are the respective Soviet equivalents of the original game's barracks weapons support center, vehicle center, and tank hall. The Soviets' main structure is the Regimental Field Headquarters, which is used to produce conscripts and field engineers. Furthermore, buildings can be damaged by tanks and light vehicles driving into them. The building-damage system from Company of Heroes is retained and enhanced wooden buildings set afire will continue burning until they are reduced to cinders. However, the occupants can be flushed out through attacks by artillery or soldiers using flamethrowers and grenades.

Units can occupy a civilian building and use it as a temporary strongpoint. Manpower is used to build common units, and the amount will decrease the larger a player's army grows. Thus, the resource intake will be curtailed if the opposing side captures territory that isolates ('cuts off') owned points from other allied sections in the map. In order for a player to receive the benefits of a captured flagged point, it must be part of a continuous area of captured territory, thus allowing an unbroken chain (' supply line') connected to the headquarters. The accumulation of these resources and the size of the player's army can be much faster if players capture various flagged points all over the map. Instead of the soldier units actually gathering at the flagged point itself, capturing the point is possible if the player's units are inside a specific zone with no enemy units in the same zone. Most armies can construct caches to increase the fuel or munitions income from these points, though some points produce a higher income of one material but cannot have caches built on them. Players will still capture specific flagged points all over the map to collect munitions and fuel credits, which will be invested in assembling their units. The resource-generation system from the first game has been modified.
