Cruzz is ranked 8th on the german 1v1 ladder and 15th on the soviet 1v1 ladder.
You are ranked above >800 on the german 1v1 ladder, and you have a total of 0 games played as soviets.
I'd say cruzz's analysis of the current state of the game is far, far more accurate and credible than yours.

Completely agree with opener. It now feels like the only role of any soviet infantry is to try and somehow hold onto a reasonable portion of the map while not losing the manpower war too badly (you will always be losing it in infantry combat) while you are gathering fuel and/or cps for tanks. Attacks of any kind seem extremely high risk with little to no reward.

Most successful tactic really seems to be to bunker up with a few T2 units (but overinvest and you'll just get bombarded to death by mortar ht) and rush to a T70 as fast as possible by building several fuel caches.

• Shock smoke only helps you approach against people who for some reason won't use the smoke to relocate just as far behind.
  
• Have you tried oorahing into an lmg squad? I can tell you how that goes with ppsh cons: even vet3 ppsh cons will lose 100% guaranteed against a vet0 LMG gren squad if they have to oorah up to them first.
  
• Guards are at best equal (to be honest my personal opinion is that they are still weaker, but you can disagree with this) with LMG grens at range. As such you are fighting a 240/60 unit with a 360/100, and breaking even with kills. Not exactly a good use of resources.
  
• Penals got oorah, but same issue as cons. You're dead if you have to try approach like this with the new damage ratings.
  

BOTH sides hug cover (soviets have to do it more than germans in fact, because germans have far better ranged damage). So germans can and should indeed take a mortar ht every game because it can completely annihilate all the soviet weapon teams very easily through incendiary barrages. If you really have some reason not to get a mortar HT, even the normal axis mortar fires >30% faster than the soviet one for otherwise exactly same stats so it'll do far more damage on average. Though to be honest rifle nades are enough clearance for pretty much all situations.

I was the one with the Grenadiers... and they hardly took a scratch in the process. I din't even micro my grenadiers into cover, they were just out in the open. I just watched in awe as those shock troopers melted.
