Balance Discussion / Re: Soviet faction an attempt at 100% recreation of late war?

my 4 man squads are easily overwhelmed by the soviet zerg.  I just dont have the resources to crank them out faster than the soviets can overrun the map and starve me of fuel and manpower.  I tried armored cars and watched them die in a matter of seconds because the AI made one AT infantry squad.  Honestly I thought this mod would be really cool, and I appreciate the obviously immense amount of work that went into it, but fighting for a couple of hours to a slow defeat against an enemy thats supposed to be on easy setting because even Jagdpanthers melt in the face of their zerg isn't any fun at all.  Great concept, though.

Balance Discussion / Soviet faction an attempt at 100% recreation of late war?

I speak of the fact that I'm finding it almost impossible, even on easy setting, to defeat the Soviets as PE.  German units are expensive, and yet get mowed down by the unending spam of Soviet infantry.  To give you an idea, I played on Rostov with 3 Hard Wehrmacht and myself as PE vs 4 easy Soviets.  The Soviets won.  Is the game designed to reflect that the Soviets won the war on the eastern front?  I'm constantly starved for fuel and have no answer to having all my carefully built up assault grenadiers get mowed down in seconds by overpowered features like 128390582590218509 NKVD conscripts backed up with command squads and those ridiculous firebases that make it near impossible to cap since the AI (and any reasonable player) just leapfrogs with them so you can't cap any neighboring territory.  I understand the soviets used lots of infantry and artillery in real life, and did in fact win, but this is ridiculous.  I'm here to play a game in which the two sides are at least remotely equal, not recreate the destruction of army group center.
