Hi. I actually prefer Soviets over Germans. Here's what I do if playing a team game:

A) Let pioneers build barracks for snipers.
B) When barracks are done, let pioneers secure points. Start building snipers whenever You can.
C) Let pioneers build fuel caches. I usually build 3-4 fuel caches. The rest of manpower is spent on buying snipers. Do notice that there is only one pioneer squad involved. Also, the only infantry one builds is snipers.
D) Hurry with building fuel caches, because You need Your SU85 out as soon as possible. Thus, once You can build a tank company, retreat Your pioneers and build it. Buy an SU85 right away.
E) General tactics: snipers and SU85 are fairly weak. On the other hand, they have enormous range. Keep SU85s with prolonged frontal sight. Move Your army through open spaces, don't force Your army into small corridors. This means: don't capture points with Your army. Let the only pioneers You have capture points behind Your army.
F) Retreat snipers to HQ whenever they are reduced to 1 squad member. Enable nurses in HQ to heal retreated snipers.
G) Now, this point will explain why one would build this type of army. Go for a commander with vehicle repairs and with Mark Target ability. This way You only need 1 squad of pioneers, and if You encounter a panther, Mark Target the panther and focus fire of Your SU85s on it! You'll have 2 SU85s for 1 panther, and if You can, focus all of Your SU85s on 1 single panther, while panther being marked as a target. Panther when marked doesn't stand a chance.
H) This is basically it. Play aggressively moving Your army over open spaces. Retreat sniper always, whenever reduced to 1 squad member. You cannot retreat a squad of zero members, right?
I) Build a light vehicles company to buy M5 half-track if You'd like to reinforce snipers on the field, without the need to retreat them to HQ.
J) When attacking the main base, keep away from map edges, because enemy reinforcements will hit You there point blank. So, attack in open spaces, once again.

Overall tactics overview:
Make a good use of a commander with Mark Target and with Vehicle Auto-repair. Use snipers -- the most lethal anti-infantry unit ever. Use SU85s -- the most lethal anti-tank unit soviets have. Also both SU85 and snipers have huge range, so use them as a support to friend's advancing army or on their own, carefully using SU85s far sight. Don't rush into tight unexplored spaces, for both snipers and SU85s are very fragile. Snipers kill AT guns and the rest of enemy infantry. SU85s kill Panthers and Ostwinds. Well, that's it for a team game :3

If playing 1v1 You can build a clown car M3A1 and put a sniper in it to kill infantry left and right, and call some guards in from off-map if SU85 isn't out yet while armored cars harass You.

Good luck!
