I know that it's a constant topic on the forum but as the faction still haven't changed I believe that my ideas can be usefull. Also I tried not to change the way relic thinks of the soviet faction. So here are my ideas:
1. Rework SU-76:
- add a AP - HE toggle instead of barrage ability
- add newly introducted shell trajectory for HE shells (like in scott)
This way the unit becomes a scott with much less wiping potencial (no turret), but instead it has some long range light AT giving it a chance to help player before he can field SU-85.

2. Add one unit to t3 and t4. This is needed because the faction is designed in the way that makes it possible to build only one tier, tiers should build 4 units each to complement and give player more options (for example no call in option)

3. T-34/85 for t3. That will give soviet t3 some late at, the tank should cost the same as in advanced warfare doctrine. Doctrine abilities like t34 call in should give you 10-15 fuel every time you build a t34 or t34/85.

4. SU-122 for t4. The unit should cost about 150 fuel and be somewhat similar to brummbar but with slightly better range and reload ,but less dmg and aoe per shot and less armour. If it would be too weak it could also get barrage ability with extended range but i belive it will not need it.

With those changes there will be no need for so many call ins and also t3 and t4 will be both viable in at and ai (but in different parts of the game, somewhat alternately). There is no need to move units from one tier to another and we can easily get new great unit (model for su-122 is basically the same as su-85 but with different gun). What do you think?

OP is right. Sure, there would be more RNG involved in IS-2 but RNG is also part of the game. And I belive the diversity of units and tactics is much more important. What i mean is that lowering RoF but increasing damage per shot and AoE suits much better profile of IS-2. It was armed in 122mm gun to deal easily with buildings, infantry, bunkers and tanks in first shot, if the shot is missed or not heavy enough IS-2 should come back to a safer place and reaload. For example tiger should be able to kill IS-2 every time in the field because of having more DPS but if you should be able to kill tiger with your IS-2 if you hide behind the building after every shot to reload. That way the game is much more interesting and skill dependant.

Maybe it should go another way: to decrease some values of medium armour, at guns and infantry.

+1 great patch

If I recall my factual info correctly, the M36 was just a 90mm on a M10 chassis, itself based on a Sherman M4A2 hull, of unknown derivative (presumably the same? Doesn't look like it).

Anyways the game had the stats different than the M10, regardless of it being identical or familiar.

It was quite similar despite the fact that it had 108mm of sloped frontal armour (for example tiger had 100mm, jumbo and pershing 102mm, and m10 57mm)
