Someone have an advice what you can do against axis premade/clan team that abuse Luftwaffe Supply Doctrine (3 OKW + Werh), it's hard to win early battles when opponent use med drops and contr KT, when it arrives on the field around 15 min mark. My team faced it couple of times and it always was a roll over for ger.
In this kind of games - more soviets = more chance. You must abuse, abuse as hell to win, on urban maps FHQ + con. spam is good, but all team must work together, you push hard or lose. T1 - map depended, M3 could be very buggy on streets and thin passages, if you go for it, you must try to kill as many squads on retreat as you can, first of all sturmpios and weapon crews, if you took doctrine with 34/85 or have problems with fuel, adding T2 to your T1 is a good idea. T2 always useful, at least 1 player in team must take it.
Problem with that - very small window when medium tank push is effective, and its always like all in, one mistake or lucky crit, and your advantage is lost, hello shreks, paks and panters. You can force T3 (OST) only if you hold 3 stars whole game, in other way germen player know - that time is on his side, always. I with my friends lost so many games when score was like 50-20/490-450, but panter have jail free card, and in every engagement allys lose one or more tanks, and finally it will be a critical mass of ger tanks and you cant hold your last VP. With 3v3+ ally you MUST be pre-made,to have a chance to win, and hold 2 stars all game, and you must win with VP before axis tank armada arrives.
Actually there wasn't AVT rifle in USSR army (I never heard about this model), there was SVT-38 (40) (Tokarev Self-loading Rifle) and AVS-36 (Simonov Automatic Rifle). AVS was complicated in production and difficult to use, had some other issues, but generally was better then SVT.
I was wrong. Found some info about "AVT", it was rare modification of SVT.
