I finally did it! MUHAHAHAH I knew there had to be a way.
Ended up using the Soviet Reserve commander which gave me Partisan Tank Hunters, and Conscript PPSH/repair. Managed to capture a Pak40 pretty early on which was HUGELY important. Other than one Scout Clown Car for my flamer engies, I spammed the f*ck out of Partisan Tank Hunters / Conscripts and just proceeded to outmaneuver their tanks to defend mid and east points. Spent almost no fuel but a TON of manpower. The AI is so damn smart, it never gets in range of the Pak43 ever unless it knows the game is already over, so this was the only way to do it.
This Partisan guide was really helpful (Thanks VanVoort!), though I didn't end up using the commander suggested because I wanted Conscript PPSHes and repair. I didn't realize that the Soviet Reserve commander gives Tank Hunters and not "Irregulars" now. FYI All 7-8 of my Partisan Tank Hunter call-ins spawned with Panzershrecks. Not a single PTRS squad. Wonder if this changed recently?
It was critical to be able to use Oorah to close gaps fast with my Conscripts for tossing AT grenades, and to PPSH mortars and snipers when possible. I spent every single munition I had and manpower too, but finished with like 300 unspent Fuel because I needed those Tank Hunters reinforced more than I needed T4.
I used the Partisan accuracy Bulletin in the hopes that it affected Tank Hunters too (does it?), and used two Conscript cooldown/reload bulletins to buff them a little.
Some of the most intense RTS play vs. the computer I've had in a long time and I have played Relic games a LOT. WHEW!
