G43s with slowdown, MGs, or vehicles. Remember flamethrowers are a bit shorter ranged than most infantry weapons. I imagine the real problem comes when they are upgraded with body armor.

you mean sniper spam ;] have you check it or it's just the theory? 4 vet3 wehr snipers works miracles against amis/brits (unless US doesn't use the scout/countersnipe combo too often as they even survive the strafes) anyway aren't there any "normal" ways to counter the russians?

More than one sniper is never a good idea, Basic tactics still work from vcoh.

In a 1v1 context, you don't.  There is absolutely no counter for the ingenery spam.  It's quite literally unbeatable if the player knows what they are doing and if you don't believe me go watch the replay of someone beating 2 Wehrmacht by himself with it 1v2.  In theory, it should be unbeatable on any map, with any number of players, but it gets harder to do in 3v3's and 4v4's.  I have played game after game and never even broken a sweat and its beaten just about every strat you can think of.  If you can't tell that is absurd and game breaking after one glance you need your eyes checked.

I understand that you want to give it time to let it all sink in and let people develop more advanced counters, but really it's all ready painfully obvious that the Soviets are super OP.

I agree, the soviets do seem to be god, but if you just take some time and look they have a lot of weaknesses that can be exploited. I dont think they are as ridiculously unbalanced as some people say they are.
