My sarcasm is quite bad, but spamming units from T0-T2 soma T2 maybe works quite well. Soviets just need to own OKW in the first 15-20 mins. If not under-used commanders (PPSHs anyone?) can still save the day. No need to go for Guards, Snipers + ISU-152s every game.
Just look at Lenny's play. With a bit of improvement it'd be quite effective.
But yeah, the core soviet army isn't doing well atm.
That was sarcasm before?
Dammit... I need to tutor you some I think because yea, that was quite bad sarcasm
Lenny is a separate case, he doesn't seem to care for the win as much as he does for the fun, so he uses really fun tactics, but they fail as much as they succeed.
Anyway, current soviet meta is cheeze or die, because core can't be relied upon. Soviets are as good as the doctrine they pick, all other armies use doctrines in supplemental way, soviets still need to build their strat around a doctrine.
