My chief complaint of the Soviets is that, barring about 2-3 things, everything in the stock faction is markedly inferior to its OH counterpart.
Granted, Doctrines make up for that more than enough, but the fact remains, why if I want to use iconic units like the T-34 or SU-76?

At this rate, why bother having a faction at all and just have a doctrine?

If I am real honest I would say that no other faction by far is as strong as soviets atm.
They squad wipe on a regular base with one or two shots, while their one units most like survive every battley because they have 6 men, Their call in tanks are strong as hell and even more with mark target that let's two T34/85 take down a panther in 3-4 shots.

What I REALLY dislike in soviets is that as a German player the only thing you do is react.
You can't start own offensives if you're not absolutely dominating the game. You always have to be defensive because one lost unit as OKW/Ost will break your neck, especially if this unit is a tank.

Soviets might say 'well, it's a lost tank, whatever' and build a new one but especially as OKW you don't have the ressources because if you're lucky you can hold about 50% of the map or less.

When playing vs USF I know they won't drive in the ultimate destroyers and I can stay in an even game even after 25 mins. Against soviets this is different. When the T34/85 arrive and he didn't play like a jackass the whole game, it's usually a win for the enemy.
