Last time I cheked Panther, Jagdtiger and Firefly were not soviet, so they may be have "pretty good" TDs, but definitely not best. That's a joke to see, that ZiS-3 (only soviet AT gun) 5 times can't penetrate Panthers armor, when Panther needs only 1 shot to become dead and has destroyed engine... That's about "pretty good" TDs.

T-34-85 is veeery reliable! But it should be stock in T4, not doctrinal. Make it so and it will be soooo good and right!

And I don't agree that they are fine. Even ESL games won't convince me in that.

• IS-2 has the armour of a KT
  
• Shocks have body armor and at short range they perform just as good as obers do at long range (except due to the larger squad size shocks not get wiped out with a single shell)
  
• SU-85 can scope for itself by default, and with veterancy its firing speed will be EPIC
  
• ZiS and SU76 barrage can be a nightmare for stationary support units
  
• Maxim spam is also a nightmare for anybody. People cry about OKW fire nade range, while OKW has no smoke nade, no mortar smoke, no ooorah ability.
  
  To answer one of your previous questions, i would remove the point capture ability of the maxim as a first step to fix maxim spam.
  
  All in all, i dont think soviets are in need of such defensive structures. They not meant to be the same as ostheer... being unable to build bunkers is the same as OST is unable to have FHQ. Sovets got all the tool they need against stationary units, while OST was always better in stationary gameplay. Its simple asymmetric balance imo..
