Nope. Maybe making Elephant faster when turning but not in driving speed.

USA won 5-0 =)
USA lost 2-3

Playing double Ostheer is fine, you have a great flexibility to adapt your strategy depending on your enemy strategy.

I recommend you to play each ostheer player: 4 T1 units (3grens + mg is fine) maybe a mortar (if the map have many houses). After that, 1 of you have to go T2 for fast Scout car and Pak, the other guy can rush T3 for ostwind if the enemy have a strong infantry presence. If your fuel is a problem you both can go for T2. Panzer4 is another good choice if you want to hold infantry and medium tanks.
I don't recommend to make more than 2 tier3 tanks, because they become weak in late game. Tiger is a must that you or your mate should make, T4 is not always needed if you both have heavy tank commanders, Panther atm is underperforming its cost.

About strategy, I find the best strategy to stay toguether with your mate and after each enemy attack that you repel successfully, you have to expand your territory with your 3 grens. It's like, waiting for the enemy and after the battle, try to recapture.

Edit: Don't forget to upgrade your grens with LMG42. IMO Ostheer grens is the best unit ingame, good AI, rifle nades with long range, and faust.

In my oppinion, the only big issue for russians are the double sniper team in 2v2 games, specially when RUS/USA play.

Unit A costs 390 MP

Unit B costs 400MP

Both units are infantry. Both units are infantry only hard counters.

Unit A can be cost effectively soft countered by infantry.

Unit A has a serious range problem and is only effective at one range.

Unit B cost 10 WHOLE MORE MP but arrives sometimes way later other times slightly later.

Unit B is good at all ranges.

Unit B 9/10 times can beat Unit A and gets an upgrade that means 10 out of 10 times beats Unit A.

Unit B cannot be cost effectively countered by infantry.

I dont know who would think thats balanced.

How exactly are STs roles different? Please enlighten me because STs are AI only infantry specialists as are Obersoldaten.

Shocks have 1.5 armor.

+1 . only snipers can deal with OS and US doesnt have that unit
