"Secondry point; I can deal with the massed waves of Soviet Infantry but are there any suggeestions on dealing with the masses of Soviet Armour; 130 AFV's vs 35 of mine; even when half the unspeakables are T26's they still use up ammo."

Arty. HE can rout a few, especially if their exp is low. My pet peeve with the massed attacks is that one of my shots will draw numerous op fire return shots which can drop my rate of fire even if it doesn't KO my tank. My solution (especially in wide open Russian maps) is to lay a smoke curtain and deal with the approaching tanks one or two at a time as they emerge from the smoke. It doesn't reduce the total number of tanks but definitely reduces the amount of supporting fire that they can muster and makes it easier to deal with them. If possible, place your smoke screen at a range which will give your ammo the best chance of a one hit kill. No point bouncing multiple shells off a target when ammo is already in short supply.
