I play as soviets in 2v2, i am losing 90% of my games in 2v2 if my ally is british.
Then i usually win in 2v2 if my ally is not british, So i am stuck around rank 13-14 (on the 1-20 ladder).

So, am i doing something wrong, does the british got any special needs that i ignore or something?
tips are welcome

The best tip is pray that your ally isn't British.

If your prayers aren't answered, then you need to know Brits are really, really gimped right now. They lack a reliable snare and their infantry AT, while really good against tougher armor, can't hit light vehicles without said snare. Speaking of light vehicles, the British ones all suck.

That being said, they can be a tough nut to crack without a mortar halftrack once they dig in, so your job is babysitting and making damn sure they can dig in on a fuel point early and then buy time by harassing fuel as much as you can. You just need to be aware Brits can't fight aggressively until tanks start to pop.

Go T2 and build a mortar as your third or so unit, support his flank and then push the other flank together.

2vs2 randoms is like herding cats, but you need to know regardless brits lack a lot of basic features in the game (indirect fire, AT grenades). So if you maxim/conspam then get locked down by MG42's that's your fault, you need to supply the indirect, flamers and early AT that British lack.
