If I am real honest I would say that no other faction by far is as strong as soviets atm.
They squad wipe on a regular base with one or two shots, while their one units most like survive every battley because they have 6 men, Their call in tanks are strong as hell and even more with mark target that let's two T34/85 take down a panther in 3-4 shots.
What I REALLY dislike in soviets is that as a German player the only thing you do is react.
You can't start own offensives if you're not absolutely dominating the game. You always have to be defensive because one lost unit as OKW/Ost will break your neck, especially if this unit is a tank.
Soviets might say 'well, it's a lost tank, whatever' and build a new one but especially as OKW you don't have the ressources because if you're lucky you can hold about 50% of the map or less.
When playing vs USF I know they won't drive in the ultimate destroyers and I can stay in an even game even after 25 mins. Against soviets this is different. When the T34/85 arrive and he didn't play like a jackass the whole game, it's usually a win for the enemy.
Playing against soviets is absolutely no fun because they don't get punished as hard for bad gameplay like other factions. I prefer playing against USF because I know the better player will win this game. The soviets can always turn the table with their call ins. You don't see much other tanks than T34/85 or IS-2 these days because they are so good. A T34/76 or a SU-85 is simply a waste of ressources and this has to change.
+ 1, well worth a read.
And the Allied forum clown trying to tear it apart again.
Russians currently have no disadvantage. Allied trolls have flamed so long that Germans don´t even have better tanks now. As someone has already stated previously: Russian infantry masses, better artillery, best mines and explosives in the game with lots of ammunition and finally better tanks, has broken the game.
Soviets easily cap the map and break any German resistance with artillery. By the time German tanks hit the field, call in meta has taken over and wipes the floor with Panzer IVs and Panthers.
