Historical Opposing Forces (Enemy OoB)

The greatest and single disappointment I have with this game is the totally unrealistic amount enemy forces encountered in almost every scenario. This is particularly true in the Blitzkrieg campaign when trying to take Moscow in '41!
The odds, by my calculation, are about 8 to 1 in favor of the Russians. In reality, operating aircraft were about even; infantry 2:1 for USSR; tanks 2:1 for USSR (but most lighter); guns 2:1 for Germany. This includes the reserve forces brought from the East. A super good way to fix this is to do what PC AfrikaKorps did which was to provide the actual nomenclature for all of the opposing forces. This will ensure a historically accurate OPFOR.
