2-3 soviets in 4v4 is maybe 1 of 20. Nearly every game is 2 US 1 brit 1 sov.

For which level are you talking about? I am assuming higher ranks from our discussion so far.

EDIT:
An example for overall setups is:
Red Ball
OOWW -> SSSB = 201 games
OOWW -> BSUU = 351 games
OOWW -> SSSU = 188 games
OOWW -> SSSS = 77 games

Bad pathing on tanks and bounces on kill shots make me angry sometimes.

Hurr durr superior German armour bounced a kill shot from my vet 2 jackson.

Yeah coh2s version of "Random". My tank always misses the first shot. And misses badly. Like shoots the ground 20 meters short of the enemy. Or the shot passes right thru the enemy vehicle leaving a smoke trail thru the hull. But the enemy always gets full pen and does max damage on first shot.

And the one I have been seeing a lot lately, my AT gun shoots and smoke exits the barrel... but no slug comes out. Nothing...Again, always the first shot. Enemy AT guns full pen from outside FOW every shot. Never fails.

The points u mention are the design problem from coh2 and could be easily solved:

- give every faction forward hq's to retreat like a field camp

In case you have not read the other posts on this site about how the balance team is making all of the factions play the same. That is currently a major part of playing OKW and USF for example. It is what makes them different from Ost/Sov.

Map size is a matter of taste. And currently smaller maps are more popular.

Most of the 3v3 maps are 4v4 maps and are actually way too big for 3v3. Playing Lienne or La Gleize in 3v3 is like having a pencil shoved in your urethra.

4v4 is the only game mode where two players fight at the same time and place. This is almost always the fuel. Two fuels = 2 players each on each fuel. The map size almost does not matter.

Larger maps like General Mud, Vielsalm, La Gleize, etc are played much less than small/narrow maps like Hamburg or Red Ball. This leads us to believe the majority of players like smaller maps.

The other issue with large maps in team games is the match making. No one wants to play on some giant map with bad team mates. I /L immediately on large maps if I see my mate doing something stupid. I am not going to waste 20 minutes on a giant map just to get smashed because my mate is a complete noob. You do not actually get to play since your units are just walking for 1-2 minutes.

Forward retreats on large maps become very OP. This leads to very unbalanced maps.

Currently (by design?) there are a good balance between large and small maps in the map pool for 4v4. 3v3 is a mess and needs new maps. Since we do not know the complete design of Coh3, it is hard to say what size the maps should be.

I did not play any of the COH3 alphas (because the coh2 match making is broken and relicans have small PeePees)so I cant say for sure if the map sizes are good/bad for 1v1 and 2v2. But MonolithicBacon is on the mapping team and his map sizes usually vary. So there should be a good mix of sizes in Coh3. Just a guess.

My stationary tanks automatically chasing down enemies on their own when I don't tell them to, if an enemy unit enters its LoS and then runs away. I *hate* that, and really demonstrates the need for a hold position function.

This happens when you tell your unit to attack another unit. After you tell the unit to attack, hit the stop button so it goes back to auto targeting.
