Why would you drive your tank on the ice near IS-2?
I call that the essence of stupidity.

I'm talking skillful play you can watch on streams, not noob YOLO boom rushes over the ice against high explosive weapons.

Yes, good players know how to micro IS-2, but its not like they are fighting noobs who can't micro their NASCAR tanks.

If a soviet player can exploit P4s rotation by going in and out while occupying P4 with random infantry and going in and out for the shot with T34, then there is no reason why you can't do the same against IS-2. Obviously you won't want to occupy it with your regular infantry that is.

You don't need that much room to exploit IS-2 slow turret rotation.

Soviets, because I don't have to dodge Molotovs all day, the squads rarely get insta-gibbed by anything, and sniper spam is OP.

Oh that is quite simple! Its exactly how it was in DoW2 where 80% of players played SM(ost are new SM)!
When you play soviets you're playing against a faction that have much more bad players you're getting matched against, the challenge appears only against german top 50 IF you meet those players, because you will still get matched against average players.
That is obviously a slight exaggeration, but the general idea is something like that.

Balance obviously matters, but not nearly as much as the whiners make it seem, you can see diverse strats and usually better player wins.
