Soviets:
- Not a whole lot can be said about soviets. They are the strongest Nation in 1v1 by a considerable margin. They have a diverse set of units and strategies that can be used. Units are extremely powerful and they have multple armor options. T-34 85, IS2, ISU, KV8
Soviets not OP they just got more skills


L2P?
Soviet 'core infantry' still suck (penals)
But seriously soviet need buff to penals (also good synergy with cons merge ability) such as upgradeable at weapons so they scale well into late game and can be used as core infantry instead of gimmicks such as mg/sniper/m3 spam or doctrine weapon upgrades that make cheap T0 inf spam a viable early to late game strategy (cons spam). Soviet early game are just flawed and has been since game launch...
Until soviet core infantry has been fixed, its just futile to talk about soviet balance. Same goes for grens vs rifles etc.
