War on eastern front was a bloodbath. In a game standpoint if you were to try to make both armies realistic to this war Germany will have such a superior army that USSR should almost always lose unless the player builds about 10 times more infantry and just blobs them to win. Which is essentially what Stalin did to win.
I see German WW2 propaganda still affects minds of people. In fact it's really funny to read "German army was superior" guys when "superior" army began and lost both World Wars. Can't you understand that it's impossible to win "just blobbing' - no one belligerent could do it even during WWI (without real tanks, planes, SMGs).
I hope... no I'm sure that Relic won't make hordes of Russians storming one MG42 - it'll be as stupid (not this Brit-shit again, lol) as not fully historically accurate. Saying "Red Army sucked" you're humiliating Wehrmacht - it's a shame to loose to inferior enemy, nein?
