Soviets are MUCH MUCH MUCH harder to beat than USF just massivly harder.
I'm strugling against almost EVERY Strat.
-> Soviet T1+ Guards fuck up everything. M3 and Snipers drain your Sturms, Volks are useless against Infantry Strafniki and guards just chew them up .....
->Maxim Spam in the early + Zis KV8 in the Late and some incendary barrages ... you need a T1 (ISG early retreat piont) to counter the Super-Maxims so you will lack in hard AT. When you bring a Raketten it gets fucked by Barrages. (rlly annoying that the most effective Off-Map Arty is so fuckin' cheap) You'll loose your mapcountrol, quite fast and it's gg unless your opponent is a n00b.
-> Pure Con Spam is really annoying and shows how strong cons are "OURRAH" should be Vet1/2 at least to give Mg34s or Kubels a chance ....
-> combined arms is another deadly soviet strat due to the EXTREMLY strong team Weapons (I grab any 120mil, Maxims, ZiS-Gun I can get and they serve much better than their OKW counterparts)....
And the soviets got strong Lategame-Units like Is2s, T34s and ISU's completly different to the USF, who has to rely on Sluggers (strong unit)and the HE-Shermans.
Americans just can blob or overwhelm the Oberkommando in the early to get really dangerous .... i don't say they should nerf the soviets, and the balance 've been worse. But Soviets are just the most viable faction in the game, and extremly hard to deal with as OKW.
