All cool, except Centaur and M15 perform just as ostwind, maybe slitghtly better\worst. So your aurments are honestly quite irrelevant, because out of all AA units Quad is the single one which is broken in AA capabilities.

Quad is not AA specific unit. It provide great suppresion, can counter car-based LVs and have very decent damage. Its a mobile almost insta suppresion platform and great support unit.

Also soviets are the best faction to just showcase OKW\Ost problems, because they have so many oppening options, good players will just abuse the shit out of opposite faction weaknesses, meaning that players who are not experienced will be again obliterated by some soviet strats.

1. Merging Flamethrower - Insanely strong vs OKW because it doesnt have early suppression
2. Sandbags - Cons behind sandbags are the most cost efficient unit in the game, you need at least two close range infantry squads to dislodge them
3. Mines - the wide availability of mines due to low ammonution needs and cheap engineers requires axis to sweep all their attack routes and doesn't let them cap freely on the flanks without risking wipes, sufficient sweeping is almost impossible when you only have one sweeper as OKW, a second Sturmpio ruins the army composition due to terrible OKW pop cap
4. ZIS Gun - two of these combined with mines, at nades and t70 vision keep any realistic amount of medium armor away, they also severely limit Axis ability to use support weapons aggressively and offer significant late game wipe potential both thanks to the broken barrage ability
5. T70 - Super reliable Anti Infantry, very high wipe potential, insanely strong vision ability, only weakness is timing
6. Trip Wire Flares - with ammunition barely playing a role for soviets these can be spammed everywhere, kill+vision is too cost efficient
7. Pop Cap - 100 Pop soviet army straight up beats 100 pop OKW army, 100 Pop Soviet vs 100 Pop Wehr is at least equal in strength and way easier to play
8. KV1 - Insanely strong combined with ZIS
9. KV2 - Wipe machine, unbeatable on certain maps (Brummbär is similar in that he excels on certain maps like Elst in 2v2 or Bayeux Assault in 1v1, but Brummbär is much harder to use)
10. T34/76 - Way cheaper than P4 but does the exact same thing, direct battles between the two rarely ever happen anyways and even then T34 isn't much weaker, very easy to reach critical mass with these
11. T34/85 - Strongest medium in the game?
12. Dshka - Broken
13. Ram + AT Arty/AT Strafe - obviously op
14. 7men cons - nobrainer update that can be easily afforded most of the time and has no real trade offs and makes it almost impossible for Soviets to lose infantry late game
