Red Army Suggestions / Re: General Ideas

Hmmm... Some notices from former SU inhabitant.
Some features of Soviet Red Army was realised incorrectly in The Eastern Front mod. For example:
- Soviet infantry can't grab wermacht weapons... WHY? There are many historical photos, where soviet soldiers held german MP-40s or StG-44s I understand, that developers made this feature to manage in-game balance. But this feature isn;t historically correct.
- Where is soviet MG teams? Red Army had a lot of machine guns (and sub-machine guns) during the war. Playing Eastern front, I felt soviet troops had only 3-linear Mosin rifles (no Mosin-Nagans! Russian original name of this rifles is "trehlineinaya vintovka Mosina..." or 3-linear Mosin rifles). For example, soviet engineers (sappers) in mod had only rifles as their primary armament. My grandfather was a sapper during GPW. And he (and his comrades) held PPSh-41 sub-machine gun. Developers, please, pay attention.
Why do some soviet troopers have one rifle for two soldiers? Excuse me, did respectable developers study GPW of SU by american movie @Enemy at the gates@? This film is trash without any hint of historical reliability. Certainly, there were problems with weapons on some places in Stalingrad. But why, more than 60 years after "Stalingrad cauldron", americans show this single cases as one giant fact (pseudofact) - soviets had no weapons and their infantry were "meat for cannons"? I think, this bug must be removed from the Mod.
-Soviet tanks. Actually, Red Army had a very little quantity of light tanks. All industrial powers of soviet tank factories had been thrown to increase production of T-34 medium tank, foundation of Soviet armoured forces. In my opinion, it will be better to except ligt tanks from mod. By the way, drawning of T-34-76 tank in game's unit window is incorrect - front MG and driver's window drawed mirrorly from original. And T-34-85 had heavier armor then T-34-76. Soviet IS-2 also had heavier frontal armor than Panzercampfwagen VI Tiger (120mm vs 100mm). BM-13-16 could fire 16 m-13 rockets in 8.5 km range.
This is my first impressions from the mod. I'm glad that developers had done so hard work to add Soviet army to COH. In some cases they did units better than Relic. I hope, that in future they will do the mod more reliable (on my PC it crashes every 10 minutes. I have rather powerfull quad-core machine with 2 gbs of RAM and 1 gb of VGA). Sorry for my agressive words and bad English.
Thanks
