Re: Soviet infantry bt vs. infantry/tanks
If you feel challenged on the AT weapons, keep in mind that your force is already better stocked than an actual historical Red Army rifle battalion. The best AT armament in such battalion was a platoon of two AT guns (usually 45 mm), though in 1942 this was supplemented with a platoon of around 9 AT rifles. The rifle companies had to content themselves with Molotov cocktails and other close range weapons if they wanted to repel the Fascist panzers.
The main focus of armament was on anti-infantry weapons: SMGs, rifles, DP LMGs, Maxim MGs and mortars (50 and 82 mm varieties).
Granted, there was more (and heavier) anti-tank weapons higher up the command chain. At the regimental level, anti-tank gun battery and anti-tank rifle company could be found, while at the divisional level there would be a mixed anti-tank battalion. Plus the 76.2 mm guns of the divisional artillery could be used for anti-tank work in a pinch. Not to mention that there were also independent anti-tank formations available at even higher level.
