Yes! I actually haven't play RS yet due to all the negative things I've heard, but if it's anything like HOS, then rifle recoil is probably too low. In HOS, basically the SVT-40 and G-41 handled like the M1 carbine should be handling now - like an intermediate cartridge instead of full power.Increasing rifle caliber recoil is another thing which would help with balance (and something I think you would like). Higher recoil won't affect japanese bolt actions nearly as much as semi autos (by the time you're done bolting there's no more recoil also the 6.5 doesn't have that much recoil compared to the 30-06), the americans also have their BARs which could probably use more recoil as well. Increasing realism on the american side seems like it would do a good job with balancing. The map design and mortars all seem to do a good job of giving the japanese a better chance. I think with these changes and less m1919s/flamethrowers (realism) the type 100s could be brought down to a reasonable level. Also the thompson, while already at a low recoil state (I think it needs more) should have a peep sight in all the maps except maybe guadalcanal.
The SVT-40, G-41, and Garand should handle like their counterparts in RO1 - full power, heavy recoil. This would reduce the advantage over bolt-actions; you can put well-aimed shots down range about twice as fast as a bolt-action, but if you mag dump, you're looking at a significant accuracy loss due to recoil. If the RS Garand is anything like the HOS SVT-40, it's probably way too easy to mag dump accurately.
So basically to put things in perspective, let's say... the M1 Carbine and Mkb-42 should have per-shot recoil like the current PPSH in semi-auto. The BAR should have recoil like the current SVT-40 and G-41. The Garand, SVT-40, and G-41 should have at least twice the recoil that they currently do. The PPSH and Thompson should have just a bit more recoil than the MP40 currently does. The Type-100 should probably be pretty similar in recoil to the MP40. This would reflect their real life recoil values much more closely.
Tangent: Yes, the 6.5 cartridge indeed has light recoil compared to other bolt cartridges; in fact, it was used in the Federov Avtomat assault rifle which predated the Mkb/Stg by ~30 years.
