You can only count on At grenades and anti-tank rifles to temporarily disable a German tank, but not to destroy it Soviet infantry AT is notably weak as well. Even the mighty Su-85 will die in 3 direct hits from a Panther. Most Soviet tanks, with a few exceptions, will lose in direct head to head combat against their Wermacht counterparts. T-70's and T-34's are both remarkably fast and are equipped with abilities to allow them to cap points by themselves. Maxim MG's move and setup signifcantly faster than their German Counterparts. This trend in mobility continues throughout the game. With these units, a good Soviet player can take the map quite quickly. Conscripts have oorah, which increase they're speed and their T1 building allows the deployment of the Russian Scout car which can cap if infantry is garrisoned inside. From the start of the game, the Russians already have a strong kit that allows fast and aggressive gameplay. Larger infantry squads also make recrewing support weapons much less of a hassle. This advantage is most apparent when it comes to support weapons where Russian support units have 50% more the amount of men in their squads compared to their German counterparts. One grenade may have the explosive radius to hit every member in a 4 member grenadier squad, but not everyone is likely to get hit if the squad is 6 members. Larger squads means that the unit as a whole is slightly less vulnerable to HE damage. Soviet Union units come in larger sizes than their Wermacht counterparts often having 50% more men in a squad.
