Editing Ostfront/Tactics/Soviet Army (section)

===General tactics===
'''Massed T-34s''': Self-explanatory; the T-34 is a very good medium tank and if massed, wreckage can block the enemy or the sheer number of shots can overwhelm the enemy. They can't be outflanked, since they're Medium all-around, and they can still move just fine. It's harder to do maneuver warfare against them than, say, Shermans, but you will need quite a lot of them. You still want other units, but T-34s are pretty much your bread and butter, so you'll definitely always want them - they can work in pretty much any situation and make great offensive tools.

'''Static defence''': The Soviets have a wide array of assault guns, which work well when they don't have to move, and a full spectrum of towed guns. In between howitzer fire and the various field guns, they can form a real nasty defensive line.

'''The Heavy''': Early war and in Fall Weiss, the Soviets have the KV-1. The 4+ 36" gun is strong rather than average in that period and the KV is practically unkillable in those periods - it can bounce a lot of 4+ fire easily, so the only real recourse is focusing howitzers or 3+ AA guns if you have them on the KV. The third option is grenades, but getting infantry this close might be difficult. Of course its points cost means it might be hard to accomplish objectives, so bear that in mind

'''Infantry''': The Soviets have the T-28 early war and the T-26 later. They are cheap and they do a great job accompanying infantry, either drawing fire off infantry or providing them with extra firepower, at infantry range and beyond.
