The Clowncar (M3A1 + CE with the ROKS-3 flamethrower) works wonders against OKW who lack early fausts (and later have shorter faust ranges), on open maps with few obstacles you can outplay Ostheer with it but it is more micro intensive. My buildorder for the opening is usually 1-2 extra CE to cap after 2 CE a fast M3A1 or after 1 CE a penal battalion then the M3A1, i usually go for 2 penals and try to fight as much as possible with the Clowncar to get CPs fast then add some elite infantry (Shocks on closequarters, Guards on open maps).
It migth be okay to bleed as long as you can hold out until the T70 to turn the game around, be careful if you play against okw and notice more then one raketen or a puma - then it might be useful to get some M42 AT-Guns, Guards or maybe a 2nd T70 or SU-76 as backup for the first and after a heavy t3 a Call-In Tank.

If you want to play T2 strats you could watch D0ggY (https://www.twitch.tv/d0ggylulz) when he play soviets in 2v2.

It might be useful if you post a replay in the replay review section if you have troubles.

  Ost vs USF on Deutz

Is the replay. I am not too familiar with 1v1s and it is only my 2nd game on Deutz which leads to my first problem on the map: in the first game I played on it I controlled the mid but lost the sides too often (mostly focused on the top from right spawn) and lost the tech race and the game quite fast after the second medium tank.
This game I focused the flanks which helped me getting the tech advantage (which I used rather badly: first p4 was a throw because i didn't see a m1 atgun 2nd lacked infantry support) but led to some infantry wipes while retreating.

I am unsure if the 2nd stormtrooper was needed or as useful as a potential mortar or sniper to control the mid or deter the M2HB .50 cal HMG and later the stolen HMG42.

I guess in the way the game developed i could have skipped t2 for a faster p4 with better infantry support and backtech later for a pak40 or maybe a t3 skip for a fast brummbar as the map doesn't offer that many ways to encircle or flank enemy units with multiple medium tanks and higher anti infantry performance and frontal armor could have paid off.

Best thanks for advice in any form in advance.

Might sound interesting but it wouldn't really work as the advanced cancer commander couldn't really hol its own without the mortarpit and all emplacement based strategies would stop functioning.
It would require more then a simple shift of these 2 units (the mortarpit wouldn't really fit the commanders/theme). Changing the mortarpit or adding a mortar would probably need an entire overhaul of the british faction which might not be a bad idea but a lot of work.

The british M5 halftrack can still reinforce nearby squads after it got upgraded with the M17 Quad AA package. The soviet M5 seems fine.

On a sidenote the soviet forward position can be build in enemy bases and be used as a forward retreat point (thankfully not reinforce).

KV-2 is good on certain maps like Lienne Forest (Mid VP) or Port of Hamburg. As BeastHunter mentioned above, there are few draw backs to this commander. If you like to use KV-2, I would go with Urban commander instead and if you like KV8 I would go with Shockrifle (Commander with IS-2).

In 90% of the teamgames i would recommend Terror Tactics instead of IS-2 as callins aren't usually needed as often as offmaps like the il-2 bombs to destroy howitzers or the last 80% of okw HQs you also get the option to build a howitzer of your own if you float mp and are low on fuel after building a kv8. The Propaganda and teh Incendiary Barrage have similiar usage in most cases (Porpaganda also illuminates the area so might be useful for other offmaps and loiters).
