You say balance is targeted towards 1v1.
But this is wrong.
If anything, Soviets are only good in 2v2 to 4v4.
In 1v1 they are not only extremely weak, but also so very hard to play.

Why has the soviet faction consistently been the worst?
Let's talk about non-doctrinal units.
It has no tank to speak of, the infantry is terrible BUT drains your manpower, it has no non-doctrinal weapons, the snipers are made of paper, katyusha has no AOE, the teching is expensive for the value, all these things, why?
And yet every patch there is nothing done to address this. Why? How hard is it to fix this faction?

Meanwhile Jove and Luvnest have a 70-80 winstreak with soviets. But that's none of my business.

The reason is simple: Soviets need more micro, tactical thinking and combined arms. You have to recon and flank your enemy and keep your low health tanks and rocket artillery alive. Thats a lot to do for a player below rank 1000.

Maxim pinning pre-set-up mg42 in green cover?
Seems balanced to me.
Buff maxim plx.

Pinning 1 target is better, ok. But what about mass of targets? About blobs? What MG stop blobs effectively - Maxim, with low AoE supression or MG-42 with AoE, which also works on infantry, that is not underfire at all but only stay near!!!
That's pretty strange to compare support guns by looking at results of their 1v1 fights. Maybe in fight Maxim vs MG-42 Maxim will beat nazi scum, but, is it important for SUPPORT GUN? Support gun should SUPPORT to main forces, not deal damage and be main force itself or something like that. And, as support gun, MG-42 is 10 times better, than Maxim.

Result - Maxim spam works, but making your tier growing as USSR slower. It just cost a lot and can be counterd by very 1 vechile or tank. So, it's not that effective, as all axis players want to tell.

Look at my playercard.
Look at the sov 1vs1 rank.
Consider my strat as sovjet relies heavily on maxims.
If after this you still think maxims are weak, you 1vs1 me and i'll show you how utterly wrong you are.

The mg42 has models outside of cover, but that's also none of my business...

I don't care about "who has bigger ranks", really. Your high rank doesn't show, that USSR is good faction and Maxim is good MG - it only shows, that you can spend enough forces to beat more powerfull faction enemies by weaker faction.
Again, when I say that "USSR is bad", I don't mean, that Axis beats USSR in 100%, so bad it is, of course no. It only means, that playing as USSR requiers from you way more micro, attention and another inner resourses to get win, while for Axis it's not such important.
And Maxim-spam tactic playing, I think, requiers from you a lot of micro. Way more, than for your enemy, which can rightly put MG-42 somewhere and forget about it. It will automaticly cover by fire large area, providing with large arc of fire to MG-42. Or, dig bunker and forget about it too - same auto-stopping your infantry. Less micro, less headache, less skills.
Main problem is - it's not so hard to play as axis, than as USSR. And that means that game is not balanced.

A-moving maximspam, the pinnacle of sov micro, tactical thinking and combined arms.
Got me to rank 22 in 1vs1.

You cant just compare T4 soviets to say panthers are say its crap, its not that simple.
Fact is its reasonably easy to overwhelm German defenses with well used spammy soviet tactics, at this point you can bring out a T34/76 to keep them burried.
If for some reason you've not been aggressive or you've failed hard in your assaults, well your giving the game away.
You need to play SU like Zerg in StarCraft... do not let them breath.

Same I want NKVD and No retreat!
and those Red Banner T-34-85s

Mg-42 has 2 models in heavy cover, and it shot first at the maxim.
While the maxim has all of its crew next to a bush...
This scenario should never have happened.

No Step Back is never coming out, BRad said it didn't fit the playstyle of the game, don't hold your breath
Don't know about the red banner division t34's, but based on how long it has been I wouldn't expect to see them but you never know it could be reworked
