I just played 2 games against double engie -> maxim spam -> guards -> T-70 rush -> call-in tanks.
I lost both games extremely hard, and then when I asked how he would counter it he said snipers. So the next game, to ease my frustration, I went soviets and did the maxim spam thing. Sure enough my opponent got double snipers in effort to try and counter it. I won before I even got my T3 up.
I really don't see how to counter this build with a regular opening (3x grens or 2x grens 1x mg42). Snipers arrive too late considering you also need 2x pios with sweepers before you can move your forces around safely, scout cars get shewed of by guards and I tried going for mech assault groups but they didn't have more than 2 minutes of playtime before a T-70 pushed them of the field.
Hmmm whatever can be done...

I think the new infantry weapon tables have made maxims harder to deal with in 1v1 :/ If you are suppressed before you get into cover your grens will start dropping like flies. And you can no longer use panzergrens or flamer halftrack to counter which is a pain :/ I tried going double mortar but that obviously is unreliable. Sniper is probably the best counter.
