The 1941 Soviets are really tough to play against an opponent who knows what he is doing. Trust me, I think I generally know what I am doing at Soviets, and I am getting smoked in my game vs. JAMiaM.
James has given me my toughest game yet by far. And he doesn't cheese stuff either, except for perhaps his crazy recon. (Which however now is very expensive.)
Most poeple just don't know what they are doing on both sides.
Most poeple try the game, but don't really take the time to really figure it out.
Thats why there are so many canceled games for both sides. Problem with allot of Russian players they easly beat German after German fighting forward using the blob tactic in 1941. Then they play a German player that knows his stuff and its easy pickings.
The rail/logistic's/movement and HQ build ups have all been nerfed, but it doen't help poor tactics or a general lack of understanding of the Russian side. MT has done very very little fighting. The run away games are all the same, crack the shell and the SHC doesnt recover because he has never had to.
You can't judge the game or make changes from a total mismatch.
The only thing to take from this is MT needs to play better Russian players and the other guy needs to play more exp German players.
