Soviets weapons at this BR are insanely good.
The box PPSh is gold (might be the best SMG relative to its BR) and would deserve a ārebalanceā of its dispersion
SVT-38 is probably the best semi-auto at BR3
DP-27 and DPM are decent, I would rather have an MG34 or a BAR though.
You can get panzerfaust, and the recently buffed M1 bazooka can still be useful because of how easy it is to aim.
Large choice of tanks with different flavours of T-34 (I used the gold STZ that I managed to get just before the merge) or KV-1.
I am not sure about the planes (I am not so much of a vehicle player) but I would think that IL-2s are solid picks.
Also when I played BR3 soviets, I was constantly in Moscow and Stalingrad fighting BR2. But yeah soviet teammates might not be the most efficient. Also, as the germans got large buff to their top tier, I guess many would like to try out the new FG42.

Planes Not quite as good anti infantry (Only because of 110 G2), But far better anti air and anti tank.
AS for the rest they have access to the best or near best in all categories
PPSH box is broken dispersion (or favouritismā¦take your pick)

I have 2x T-34 STZ and they are way more mobile than KV-1 and almost as armoured (just 15mm less armor). You can also can take t-34-57 if you want to mostly fight vs tanks.

haha I still rather run the T-28 E lol. Better Anti Infantry and the AP round has so much HE filler it 1 shots anything up to a Tiger/Pantherā¦The Soviet Panzer IIIN
T34-57 in reserve incase of uptierā¦but that doesnt really happen much

Same issue now when playing axis BRII.
Solid weapons, absolute useless and bad team mates.
Donāt had those problems before the last update.
Now even the mines are useless - often my last chance to defend an objective are those mines and now they just make a poof and nothing happens.

You didnāt get drafted to br5 did ya? Cause br5 axis is pretty decent in US server it seem (at around 3/5 game won so pretty good)
Same issue for low tier allies, Every single match except Axis matches, gives u headache. even the veteran players dont care about raly points
T34 STZ is overall the better tank, KV1 has strong 75 mm armor but almost flat, T34 STZ however has basically 60mm angled.
Also both T34 and KV1 have absolute insane post pen damage, they fire nukes.
You just made me realize I ALSO have two thanks to the black one from gold orderā¦ I forgot!

No actually! It was mainly Moscow matches with a Stalingrad or two surprisingly enough.

dam man i always get like 90% br5 that why i go pure br5 nowadays
Iām still grinding Sovies. Bout to unlock the DPM
Il-2 1941 controls pretty great, but got weak armament overall
Sb-2M controls surprisingly well for its size, but got very fragile wings.
Two-seat Il-2 control like crap unlike Bf 110
Su-2 is controllable, and I guess the only bomber worth using considering how shitty other options are aside from Il-2 1941
Pe-2 and Pe-3 are straight up garbage, and I guess devs are afraid of giving them bigger payloads to justify their existence
Yak-3 controls pretty well, but got no bombs, P-40 got great bomb loadout, but otherwise pretty slow, actually not sure about other two Yaks, Hurricane got shit rockets, I-153 can work I guess, no idea about MiG-3 (altho it got no bombs) and LaGG-3 (probably can be skipped)
and overall, only Su-2 and P-40 are worth using, and maybe Il-2 Type 3 if you can deal with it controlling like a brick for some big rockets
