Also interesting that 2v2's gap narrows. Which may indicate issues with Soviet tech trees being addressed a bit in 2v2. That's a different topic though.
However, 3v3 and 4v4's gap jumps to a much more significant 8.2% and 15.8% gap respectively.
Overall, I think that Germans aren't too much more powerful, just easier to use... like the dark side of the force.
The developers clearly intended this. However, their zeal in trying to promote this is missing out on some historical and gameplay facts. Which is why the T-34/85 isn't as good as a Panzer 4. The devs are of the mindset that everything the Soviets have should be in some major way worse than what Germans have, as such they would have to micro it more to get best use.
The problem is, in terms of gameplay that scheme doesn't really work to require one side to always require more micro in every circumstance.
In terms of history, the soviets eventually figured it out. Heck, the T-34/85 was a direct response to German heavy armor superiority when they finally figured it out.
Although, I suppose the change to the MG42 is an example of the devs realizing this and making Germans require a bit more micro of their own.
