Have you considered asymmetrical balance? Units are not supposed to be equal. There are times where Sovjets get out units earlier, but in direct comparison they might be weaker than German units.

Soviet infantry if weaker of course, they are also cheaper and have more units per squad.

You can't compare strength of units directly. Don't compare the stats of Obersoldaten vs your standard Soviet Infantry. Of course Obersolaten are going to win. Does any other faction have t4 Infantry for 400 manpower and 40 reinforcement cost?

Soviet has one of the best lategame in 1vs1 because of their durability. You must play really really bad to be able to lose a 7 man conscript squad. Whereas Obersoldaten only have 4 models, so you almost have to retreat once you lose 2 of them.

Sturmpioniere are tasked with close range-agression, mine-sweeping, repair and provide medkits for OKW player. Its impossible to do everything at once with this unit. You can abuse this by laying many mines which they can't sweep because they have to repair tanks.

Tiger 2 hits so late into the game you should already be prepared to deal with him. Tech for OKW is very expensive. If your opponent has enough ressources for a Tiger, he could have just made more Panzer IV instead.

It seems like you don't quite grasp the concept of the game. Do you want everything to be the same? You can't compare units against other units, you must compare timinigs when these units are available, which uprades they get and what they are supposed to do.

you should try to understand a post before to reply

I played for the realease, I have something like 1,500 hours on COH. And I still feel german are definetely superior to soviet and ally in general.

I am playing only in 2C2 with a friend, and often I play against bad player and loose, even if i took unity in the beginning or take avantage during the beginning.

I feel that german have everything better than soviet. For instance something a german make artillery fixe, so in my turn I make artillery and target his artillery => 90% I will loose the duel even if I attack first.

For infantery during the end of the game, it's a nightmare if my friend don't give my Vickers. Conscrit are just destroyed by everything (Obersoldatend, MG42 Grenadier, STG Volks, etc.).

Globally, I feel that there are 2 problems in COH :
- The inf anti tank is really strong from the German side (Panzergrenadier + panzershrek is very good) and weak from the ally side (PTRS is almost usefull during the end of the game).
- German have too different option. For instance my in sovietique, if I want a heave tank i have to take a commander, If i want a good infantery I have to took a commander. But OKW (Obersolden, Stormpionner ; Tiger 2) and normal german (Grenadier MG42, Panzergrenadier ; Panther/Bombarder) have strong) have everythings directly. If in sovietic I take a commander without a ISU 152/KV-2, I know during the end game i am totaly dead because i will have to fight against Tiger/Elephant and I will by storm.

BTW : Now I find the guard soldier very weak, except the anti-tank abillity it's not a good infantery for me
