So I got to play some 1v1s today..It was the Sov vs Ost matchup. I used NKVD and Urban Defense, my friend went for German Infantry Doctrine.
NKVD: Radio Intercept + IL2 are still very good. The scorched earth ability is nice. I didn´t test the KV8 since it was 1v1 and it didn´t fit into the game. Commisar seemed decent in combat but needs more testing since I wasnt familiar with the abilities yet (other than force retreat).
Urban Defense: Shocks seem a bit better but I didn´t notice that much improvement in mid range fights. More testing needed though. Mini AT-gun seems more viable now even though the AI rounds didnt do much for me. I tried KV2 but it was 1v1 so it didn´t do anything and just got swarmed and died. Generally I don´t think the doctrine is any good for 1v1 but in 2v2+ I would be willing to give it a fair try.
German Infantry Doctrine: From playing against it for a few games I have to say I find it very underwhelming. New Stormtroops felt disappointing. 5 men Grenadiers don´t really seem worth it either. More bleed, less long range DPS. This doctrine needs some major buffs.
