I'm not sure if you are speaking of vs. the AI. If so, I can't comment.

It seems tac air is the unstoppable weapon in this game, I recently lost Egypt because the axis had 3 tac air plus 1 fighter, he just wiped ou 1 corps per turn.
The russians can do nothing against this tactic because they cannot build fighters as they need infantry.
One of the key problems is all the early war invasions come early to give germany more time to conquor and also deprive the opponent of the production they would have got. for russia the October increase in production is fine but why do you have to wait until October if invaded early. Perhaps russia should have a couple of commanders from the start
Take France for instance, weak at the start and not enough time to build a decent army. the French army should be substantially there from the start.
