Plain and simple,
soviet is currently a low risk spam army and I think they should make it more skillful/micro-rewarding.
In currently 2v2 games, conscript maxim spam, ZiS spam can hold off Ostheer t3 (in a general sense)
-- Population Cost lower = Lower Upkeep (Why is a goddamn 4-man gren takes up 7 pop cap)
-- Reinforcement Cost: 15 manpower for team weapons?! I mean come on, I understand soviet has crappy inf and stuff; but 15 mp is way too cheap, not to mention there are 6-man = less risk to lose vet. Hell, even a gren take 28 to reinforce.
-- Maxim Rotation Speed: dont need to say much about this broken part of a machine gun. Are they ever gonna fix this?
-- ZiS artillery shots: In reality, every AT guns in the war can fire HE rounds, why do soviet get this privilege?
-- Maxim ZiS spam: Easily see this in 2v2 games, maxim rotates fast enough to act like a normal inf squad. While 3 ZiS can even hold off the heaviest armor from Ostheer, it makes SU85 unnecessary.

I am not saying it's unbeatable or Overpowered, but since they nerfed all artilleries (LeFH18, werfer), it simply promotes inf spamming and camping. It's BORING to play with or play against.
I think soviet can have more varieties in tactics instead of just spamming crappy inf (every game is the same), more options like the USA from COH1 will be more fun to play.
IT IS BORING (since some people only read the title and comment)
It is boring to play as spammer, it is also boring to play against spammer
