Choosing to wage war as the Russians or Germans seems to make no difference when you’re executing your strategy; whatever nation you fight seems much better armed and positioned than you. Despite the fact that by mid-1944 the Russians had every advantage - more armor, more troops, fighting one enemy instead of two - you’ll face almost impossible odds when attacking the Nazis (although it works the same when you command the Wehrmacht). Small-caliber cannon will obliterate your powerful tanks while your foot soldiers get chopped to pieces by invisible artillery, causing you to fail repeatedly until luck finally intervenes.
