True regarding the direct tactic of "hugging the enemy", this tactic was mostly employed in urban invironments. However the Russians in general still favoured close range fighting during the entire course of the war, and tried their best to make sure that the fighting didn't take place at long range where the Germans had a definite advantage over them.

Another good example of this is the battle of Kursk, where masses of Soviet tanks charged full speed at the German ranks in an effort to quickly close in the range and negate the advantage that the German tanks had in long range engagements. Soviet casualties were catastrophic to begin with as they drove into heavy fire whilst quickly trying to close the gap, but as soon as they got in close things started to even out and the German losses started mounting. Some of the best weapons the Germans had on the field during that battle, such as their "Elefant" heavy tank destroyers, which to begin with had proven murderously effective at picking off Soviet tanks from long range, were suddenly rendered almost completely useless as the Russians got in close.

People should stop spamming the forum with threads about how this map can't be won by that team, or how the germans are so overpowered. I just played 8 maps with basically the same russian team, and 4-5 people using mics made us win all of those rounds. Including commissars house... not a single defeat.

I often chose the russian side because they have less players and I think this cant be.
Its cowardice to always have at least one more player on the german side.

But I also had some good and rewarding games on the russian side where we crushed the enemy.
