Can't say I don't like it, but I definitely like it less than earlier years. Overpowered Soviets were fine in Citadel arc - this was the defining moment in the war, so throwing in the best troops is logical - but in later missions? Come on guys, where have you been while I was plowing through you at Prokhorovka and Kursk? Second-line troops would be more believeable, IMO. Also, need more Lend-Lease stuff.

Excatly my thoughts, but the game mechanics do not allow a realistic gameplay. 1 T-34 cant hurt a Tiger. 1000 T-34 cant hure a Tiger. Makes no sense but you need high end stuff to defeat high end stuff. My core only exists off the best of the best, if you run a Panzer IV its get shredded like nothing, even with top tier heroes and awards.

I like big maps, but these are kinda TOO big - and with nothing to do except grinding down yet another OP Soviet formation.

Yeah, I also have a problem with these huge repetitive maps, at some points its like grinding kills. You also have some of these map in the early years of the war, I had some discussion with andrea69 about that

Not to mention the lags - and I have a near-the-top PC (7800X3D, 64GB RAM, RTX4070, the game is on SATA SSD). Loading takes ages sometimes.

Loading takes longer, but I never had problems while playing, even on 4k. Get a coffee, or watch some videos meanwhile
Right now, I've just started Voronezh. I have a feeling I will be hating this map.

Something strange is happening with airfield capture script. I get a full assortment of fighters, but I get only the first tacbomber or stratbomber mentioned in the script. Swapped planes in the script (Pe2 for Il2M3) - et voila, I'm getting new planes, but not the old ones. Looks like the script shuffles fighters, but not bombers. Tested on Rostov1943 and Manych.

The feature makes on sense at all on the eastern front. Why would you use these crap instead of german stuff? Might be interesing, if you play with limited parts and you are running out of something...
I only used spitfires or some other british planes.
