As a coh vet, I cannot tell you Soviets v Ostheer is as great as wher v US, but I can tell you it is a great game.
It seems to me that your opinion has been formed by reading the balance forums, which is a terrible idea. It is full of whiners who have no idea what their talking about who often only play one faction(not everyone is that way, most are), and this game is very far from historically accurate despite what forum residents may say about citing historical accuracy. If you want a good idea about whether or not to play, I would recommend watching a few shoutcasts and then deciding.
I reccomend:
