Guess you are. You think they are strong, cos it's hard to play against them, or because they are easy for you to play as them? That's veery different.
And besides, USSR might be strong, but only if you play on them like on organ. For to win as USSR you should play like true-progamer, keep under your micro 5 units at once, control engineers for to force them laying mines in right place, micro your maxims for to turn into right direction, control you "spam-able" buch of T-34-76, keeping them from destryoing by Panthers...
That's a helluva gameplay. All other factions are not so difficult.
Playing against them and alongside them actually. When playing allies I usually find US forces the most appealing to me. To be honest I don't have enough time to play all the factions so I stay with OST, OKW and US for the time beeing.
In fact I don't play Soviets because I think they play similar to OST so I stick with Ost and enjoy the different playstyle that US Forces offer.
The casts I've seen in the last couple of weeks all had very strong Soviet play. Also the twitch streams I've watched.
And in all seriousness OST is really exactly that micro intensive as you said about Soviets. Except 4 man squads of very expensive infantry which get wiped in the blink of an eye. Same goes for teamweapons. But your opinion is a different if I remember correctly from the other thread.
