Playable soviet deck, anyone?
Out of 10 games , 9 of them I see that allied teams are full of either british or american decks. Barely anyone plays soviet nowadays.
Can you drop your advises for playable soviet decks.

19th tank division is insane. my friend and I dominate with it. Heavy arty with IS2s is perfect for 10 vs 10 or smaller team games.

phase B f22 allows 6 i think?
that should be enough for a 50% income 10v10, at least until the last 15 mins.

For 4v4 & 3v3 you put your arty at literal spawn line and then pray.

you get the idea tho. make your opponents shoot at something else. your IS2 for example.

Yeah, Eugen made a game about the eastern front where the whole point was to have the Soviets, but then they made the Soviet decks all crappy so that nobody plays them. Big brain move.

Basically your only choice for team games is any of the IS-2 decks and then pray the other team doesn't counter-pick you with KT or Elefant or 128mm full-auto anti-everything gun.

Elefants are so easy to kill with Arty I wouldn’t worry about those. Or just have two tanks from two directions engage it.

"Just arty it or play better" is an argument that applies to every tank. My point here is that quite a few of the Axis decks are essentially designed to counter IS-2 decks, meaning the Axis are almost totally dominant in team games and the Soviets are a rare sight. If I see someone on the other team go something like Vyborg I go for the Elefant deck and tell my allies to cover me while I surgically remove any IS-2's. Or I watch my buddy that bought Toulun get the 105mm auto cannon and just delete anything that just happens to be within 2000 meters.

2nd Tank Corps - T-34/85s and SU-85s for days, plus ISU-152s and decent artillery.

184th Rifles - Good Infantry, Artillery, Air, Anti-Air; SU-122s in the AT tab.

97th Guards Rifles - IS-1s and IS-2s in a Rifle division(!), plus good infantry and air. Excellent artillery options.

43rd Reserve Army - Officer Shtrafniki; T-34/85s, KV-1s, IS-2s; SU-122s and SU-152s; 85mm Anti-Air; La-7s and IL-4s in air tab. The only place this division lacks is in artillery.

EDIT:
Honorable Mention goes to:
10th Guards Tank Corps - Captured Panthers and Tigers fighting alongside T-34/85s, SU-122s, Andryusha rocket artillery and IL-2s of every flavor.

44th: all tabs are good or at least decent, a lot of inf, some t-34/85, a lot of SU-152 and two (!) cards of 152mm off map, probably the most useful artillery strike in game.

Watch high level replays on youtube and learn the game.
Allied decks won the majority of pro gamer matches. Also watch tierlists on youtube. Allied divisions lead there too by the way.
