Germans are OP

For a long winded response on why I feel this way. We lost our only game of the night vs these opponents earlier, but from being new to Germans. This is a game where we wrecked them correcting our mistakes. And these are GOOD players. We are not better than them. The game is simply broken favoring the Germans at this point in time. (We were the Germans and started to play them to understand just how broken they are, after being long time Russian players).

This is the second match where we fought them. After a 3/3 win streak we lost to them to make it 3/4. But then we went up to 7/8 and then fought them again for the ninth match and made it 8/9. We continue to dominate every game we play as Germans, unrelated to the skill level of our opponents. Russians simply cannot win in 2v2 against knowledgeable German players.

(1 v 1 is a different story and I believe Russians still have a chance there due to my success as them in that arena. But playing a lot of 2v2 they simply cannot win due to my experience. Before we switch to German we had lost 10 games in a row that night).

I agree with you, opel blitz + strafing run are completely broken.
Also really tired of su-85 spam, but if you wont have enough of them u will lose pretty fast.

Opel Blitz truck is not that op. The strafing run on the other hand is an infantry killer, pinning everything even on retreat. The game is quite balanced overall, it's the maps that make units OP. There are a few maps where having 3 mgs will cover all of the chokepoints and render the russians unable to flank. It seems that the only way to go with soviets is t2 openings with maxims and at guns for bombard.
