Aha stock army bare bone...

solid pack 6 Men arty strike
6Men MG
Sniper
car
Light Tank
good mainline
...
3 playable start variants...
sure theyre so bad
Ost has good main lines cost wise. Grens are the cheap to field and upgrade. Ost can stun with td,s and at gun next to faust. A an at mine that one shots all lights. Not having a light is not an issue because of this. Ost has the strongest scout car but but comes later (imo the t70 among the scout cars timing wise)
Ost has 2 starts stock, mg or no mg... it not like they are usf...
Sov have durability/utility and some multy role units but because of it they have:
No ai upgrade stock
No actual nades stock
Weakest medium tank stock
Lowest supression on mg stock
Worse barrages on the mortar stock
Lower (not by much) preformance at gun
So please stop cherry picking and ignoring other things soviets lack.
