I personally believe Soviets are stronger than USF as OKW are the most viable Axis faction and Soviets can out-power them in the late game reliably, due to superior manpower economy as the game wears on. With USF they tend to trade equally vs. OKW and so the advantage isn't as pronounced.
the near DPS buff to rifles made them super good vs Whermacht... people say OKW was too good vs all factions... why not nerf volks near dps instead of buffing rifle’s long range?
