Because it is also on the last tier (T4) and not every german has the time to go to T4, while in Soviets, T4 may be your second building for example.
For me, a defensive player, going T4 is a bit risky, I prefer getting my usual P4 and later Elefant, because I dont use T2, paks in this game is...KrApp

... very good point. I was expecting something stupid. It takes nearly 100 fuel to set up t4 (might be a little less, but still significant) and you might as well have a tank before then. Like you said, it is pretty risky to go that long without a tank. It can be said for the Germans that they have 4 tiers, more or less. You can still be fine without the fourth tier, but it is there just in case. Soviets relatively have 3 tiers... at least that is how it is perceived. T3 is mainly AI and T4 has one AT, one useless thing, and the katyusha. Soviets cannot really afford to get the other tier as 140 fuel is more important in keeping the Soviets in the game. German T3 has good AT and OK AI, but Soviets have to choose between having only one or the other in T3 or T4. The bad tiering system also makes it a bit difficult to fight against Germans, because having only one of them isn't sufficient, especially if Soviets are encouraged to use combined arms and only have one tank building that can only produce the opposite of what is sometimes needed. I really hope that gets addressed...

I currently thought of a change that doesn't sound TOO stupid. Right now, the su-76M is currently of use to no man. Tier 4 is supposed to be support, but the SU-85 is the AT, and the Katyusha the long range AI... meanwhile, the SU-76M does a little of both, but not enough to be considered. I suggest making it some sort of glass cannon, increasing its cost some. Not only that, but have it replace the M-5 (or the t-70, but im not completely sure about that). I prefer the m5, because it is a strong infantry support vehicle that can upgrade to counter planes and infantry better. That would fit better in t4 than the SU-76 for me. Now, i am aware that the su-76 has less penetration than the ZiS-3, but a bit more than the t34/76. I am suggesting making the su-76 the AT tier 3 doesn't have instead of relying on call ins. Change its price to 320 manpower and at most, 70 fuel. Here is why. The su-76's gun... is a variant of the ZiS-3. Because of its current price and placement in the tiers, it is obviously a bit more crap than that. I want to change it to 320 manpower to make it the same price as the ZiS-3 because i want it to have the same penetration as the AT gun. This does not destroy the use of the ZiS-3 because the ZiS-3 costs no fuel. Soviets can still fall back on it if they have a shortage of fuel. Currently, it isn't best for being aggressive, and you cannot pull it back when Germans used their tanks to flank it from the back, and the ZiS becomes helpless. Needless to say, the Su-76 still dies in its usual 2-3 shots, having the same armor as it usually does, but it can run away much better and progress across the field much better than the normal ZiS. It should be the AT support the T34 doesn't have (and moreover shouldn't exactly have because it is a 76mmm cannon, in its designation where it does not penetrate well against German tanks. The ZiS fires shells of the same size, but its shells DO penetrate, and that is the point. The Su-76 isnt a direct combat tank because of its fragileness, but a support tank for the t34 for penetrating german tanks reliably without falling behind in advances and retreats) I am also under the assumption that the SU-76 does less damage than the ZiS-3, tell me if i am wrong. I THINK this should be kept this way, because the SU-76 should be both a little AI (still free barrage), but enough AT as to scare the panzer IV, but not killing it as efficiently as the ZiS-3 in terms of damage. I want it to be a support tank, not an ultimate cheap tank destroyer. This would solve a lot of problems, and fix the hesitation that goes into deciding t3 or t4, without exactly making the argument that both are needed if they are both fixed to be self sufficient to counter German tanks and infantry in their own ways. Thoughts?

Also, correct me if I am wrong in terms of stats. Thanks.

PG are like the ol Penals. Semi-glass cannons.

How old Penals? Apparently panzergrenadiers are supposed to be justified by their cost, but they are practically non doctrinal shock troops without the survivability.

At vet 2, blitz activates for free and lasts forever. It is not affected by engine damage.

Oh, you think I'm just talking about Is2s and ISU152s? no, I'm also talking about mines, precision strike, and demo charges. Losing an entire squad from a mine is really common, but what else would you expect from a mine with a large splash radius that does over 100+ damage. Germans also don't have an equivalent to demo charges like they did in Company of Heroes. You can outnumber your German opponent just by using these weapon to shorten their numbers.

Poor Germans! Too bad they cant afford minesweepers. Too bad they dont have panzerschrecks like they did in the war. Shame lmg's are not even doctrinal, and g43's are nonexistant.

Lol, give me a break. Russians are usually caught doing those things listed, and the soviet's early game attempt to gain control fails because they keep losing land and not gain any in return. I still dont see precision strike because my german mortar vets up faster with its super fire rate, and i never allow soviet mortars to vet as i can rifle nade it when it is halfway retreating in the de-setup animation, and the g43 would finish them off as they run, dropping the mortar. Demo charges? Seriously? Just dont use bridges. How many german tigers ive wiped using it... when they didnt bother going the safe way around. All soviets can do is stall. Their army size does not scale like russians should, yet germans outtech them like germans should. Callins make or break Russians, while german callins are frosting on the cake as german infantry are more versatile as russians do not really have an advantage in numbers, nevertheless, basic stock damage. Their squad size means they die slower. All they are right now is a piece of meat that is slowly beaten to submission until all that is left is sludge. Again, all that is listed is nonexistant if Germans are smart enough to get the early game advantage that they usually get. Range beats all. History proves it. Current meta usually ends up with Soviets in a gore fest, either relying on incompetent German players to win, or the very few for whatever reason who slave away attempting to make something of the Soviets. But no one would bother with that. Why would you? So why would the Soviet players?

This poll is pretty biased because even though the Germans infantry are better the Soviet infantry. The Soviets make up for it for it's many squad wiping weapons. German tanks are better at killing other tanks, but that's because Soviet tanks are meant to take on both infantry and tanks which means they sacrifice their AT capabilities for killing infantry as well. Ingame, they already do good damage to other tanks but wipe out infantry squads as well. I have to repeat this so many times because some people are just not realizing it.

Except they are all late game, and all it takes for the Germans is their usual early game dominance and all those one shotting weapons *POOF* no longer exist. People do realize it, but wth. How the hell do you pull one of those weapons out if you are toast? And if soviets are somehow winning, with the current meta, those weapons reward the soviets for doing the impossible.
