Kat problem is mainly limited to larger team games.

Getting a Kat means teching to T4 with all the fuel costs involved and prioritizing a Kat over a SU85.

If your opponent is able to field both heavy armor and a kat you probably already lost the game before it even came out.

Or your playstyle is so blob and infantry heavy that getting one is justified.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE change soviet weapon crews to 4 men. This is something everyone has been begging for since launch.

The americans don't rely on their support weapons as much as soviets do. Americans actually have infantry that can go head-to-head with axis infantry. On top of that they get extra squads for free with their teching system. The best non-doctrinal soviet infantry are penal troops, who are worse than vanilla rifle men. You can upgrade your rifle men with light machine guns and bazookas to make them stronger and able to tackle tougher axis units like LMG grens or a variaty of OKW elite troops. With soviets you can't. Half the doctrines don't have guards or shocks and using these doctrines puts a big emphesis on support weapons to do the job where non-scaling conscripts and penals can't.

4 man soviet weapon teams? How will they ever stand up to the German firepower?
Things like mortar rate of fire, sniper rate of fire, small arms fire DPS are all much better on the axis side because soviet squads are bigger. So.. how are soviets going to compete? Mandatory guards/shock doctrines? That sounds fun..
