All super heavy tanks need to be delayed.

Against okw, you should try the following build if you want to play cons:

Conscript>Combat Engineer>Conscript>Conscript

Ever since the combat engineer buff, you can count them in the early game as a 4 man conscript squad in terms of combat prowless(even better, they have a normal recieve accuracy instead of the negative conscript have)

The mindset of this builds its all about allocating resources.

OKW has an important gap between their 1st and 2nd volksgrenadier, while you can crank this soviet build order almost non stop. This is important because we can seek out engagements and quite posibly win them by resource allocation.

The first conscript should go on the same side your first engineer unit goes. You want them to find a key point to build barricades while their fellow engis cap the surrounding points, always ready to come in the help of the conscripts.

The second combat engineer goes for the other side of the map, with caution. They are proving the area for axis units and should not engage offesively until the second conscript squad its close enough to help (this will make the enemy commit their units into an engagement you can tip in your favor)

The third and final conscript squad should come in the aid of the side in need. At this point an engeener must go back to the base and build T2. When pressured, okw players commit all their units to the same side and by this point he already has the 3 standard volks and teching up grenades, which counters the key element that tips conscripts over volks, the cover.

That's all, you can go from there. Just remember. Conscript play is all about trading with the enemy. If you can't win an engagement just retreat instead of wasting manpower

Remember the numbers:
Conscript: 20mp
Combat Engineers: 21mp

Volks: 25mp
Sturms: 30 mp

Better manpower conservation, the more it can be spent on support weapons or elite units

I'd be happy for them to change it so that the Officers came with the side-tech of each tier instead and just made the tiers research a bit faster.

I'm not fussed about the officers, I want something which can suppress asap not another infantry squad to blob into my enemies.

No idea how badly this would mess up the balance though.
