Because there are times that many people ended up stacking axis due to variety of reasons e.g. better weapons,badass uniforms,German language,map unbalanced,etc we should have challenges to stand against German bias by playing as the Soviets in the right way as I noticed some Soviet players play like Germans even if they are the attacking team. Some tips from a Soviet player
1. As an attacker with some exceptions, Get as close to the enemy as you can and not a sniper,machine gunner or any support role. SLs smoke and if ever theres an enemy machine gun or enemy strong point then try to flank them out as axis veterans love to do that tactic causing spawn traps in some maps. Scream URA and charge at the enemy while you forget about your KD ratio as a victory is even more satisfying than defeat without a fight
2. As a defender practice Ni shagu nazad as there are maps where Soviets as defenders but they ended up camping behind cap as some German MG mowing them down where some examples are Grain Elevator where riflemen stay at the upper floors even B and C are still around and Mamayev Kurgan where they camp outside cap resulting of losing the cap. You can retreat if situation permits to e.g. low tickets,last life,enemy artillery,spawn protection,etc.
3. As a Soviet Squad Leader try be more aggressive in order to boost morale for your squad mates which you may help the team already even though this method requires luck,skill,situation awareness and flanking to maximize the benifit.
4. Stop playing Apartments most of the time as far as I read this was the map where the Soviets won the most as it will only degrade your skills on large maps the game offered such as Commissars house,Mamayev Kurgan,Bridges of Druzhina,etc
5. Befriend with the not so known Soviet weapons and learn how to use them as I noticed many people would prefer to use the MP40 over the PPSh-41 because of strong recoil and the PPSh-41 did initially suck due to the 35 round magazine but it starts to shine once you get the drum magazine as this is the real deal and it can turn the tables even fritzes with Mkb 42s due to its high rate of fire once you learned how to control and exploit its recoil. If you are still learning with the PPSh-41 you can use PPS-42 as alternative although my personal preference is the PPSh-41 and once you learned how to use PPSh-41 then you can use it even in mixed map like Rakowice,Spartanovka,Mamayev Kurgan,Myshkova River,Pavlov's house,etc
6. Soviet riflemen should capture German weapons that are useful specifically MP40,MG34 and Mkb 42 as these said weapons are causing people to play exclusively as Axis most of the time and also historical accuracy as Soviet soldiers used captured weapons. You may need to level up some German weapons as well as you will need it when you play as a Hero if you want to use a German gun specfically the 250 round belt of the MG34
7. Turn your NATIVE Voices in the options on as I heard on youtube that Soviet voices sound like wimps as the Russian language is as badass the German language as that one of the reasons why some people exclusively play as Axis.
8. Fight to the death even when losing as I said at number 2 Ni shagu nazad as its better to die after achieving something rather than cowardice hiding at some room in the NCO Barracks or even worse the administration building.
9. You would rather hear this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBM-EIZKF_Y as a victory song instead of the German one as its more satisfying to do so give you the feeling that you are Hero of the Soviet Union.
More tips soon and good hunting as we will all be Heroes of the Soviet Union for such bravery against the huge amount of German bias in the game!
