I think Shock Motor and Mechanized Support are pretty common
Axis doesn't have the best AT options in the game

You don't start with them and they are not Common, they are either Uncommon or Rare

Was there a slight "typo" at the end? (This should get you started Commander, good luck and we may yet make it Berlin together)

nice writeup, actually i think that best soviet commanders in 1v1 are :
1. lend-lease - cause you dont need engies to repair, can play with NO TIERS and get shermans and fast M5 quad + good anti infantry guards
2. any doc with ppsh cons - cuz at vet 3 they are very OP
3. IS-2+KV-8 doc - no need to get tiers, it got all in one
About soviet strat, i think that starting with sniper is very good, then get like 3-4 cons, build T2 just in case (to get ZiS mostly) and then call-ins or usually T3 for M5

How do you manage not teching with Lend-lease and Shock Rifle?
You are relying on captured AT or you are just really confident in your mine and grenade play?
I really feel the Diska is lacking something, it (and the M2HB do a lesser extent) should really rip light vehicles to bits even better than Mg42 Incendiaries, but they don't
The other thing that Lend-Lease really lacks is any munitions ability for off map to break up a position (because calling in fuel drops and hoping they get shot down and crash on the enemy doesn't work anymore)

But it's also a common commander I hear nowadays.

try going 5 cons then dshka to pin or 4 cons 2 dshkas - it's enought for infantry, then get AT nades, optionally molotovs, try to lay some mines on choke points where enemy could chase your cons, getting 5 CPs with that is easy, you kill a lot, you get more exp, thankfully quad upgrade doesnt need any tiers. when you git 10CPs for shermans you got enought fuel to call-in like 2-3 of them.
Had once a game where dude used it against me, lost early 2 cons and engies, thoght that game was won by then but later he roll out with 3 shermans and quad and cons blob vs my panther (i was OKW)

Just wanted to say great work on this, just got into the game, never have I been so inspired to take back the Motherland all to the sound of the Red Army Choir.
