Your comment made me think a bit about why that might be true.
Real warfare is a highly uncertain business. More than coh2, certainly much more than sc2. Simple example: those tanks you were assigned might show up, or three hours late (front tank threw a track on a narrow bridge?), or not at all (got reassigned on route to a more critical area)... or maybe the tank commander will be so worried about his own tanks that he'll be unwilling to give you the support you need to carry out your attack--but you have to do it anyways.
coh2 doesn't even come close to simulating the chaos of real war (and each patch seems to take away a bit more uncertainty), but it does try to include some elements of it throughout gameplay. Variable weapon damage, surprise squad wipes, squads that stumble around a bit recovering from a shock, etc. They all add to the uncertainty of combat but take away from the ability to predict exactly what is going to happen. This is the flavor that the devs have chosen.
In the more highly-structured world of sc2 you have a much stronger ability to predict the results of an action, so I can see why competitive players would prefer that. They want to know that their happy path is going to keep working for them, so they can keep winning. Anything that takes away certainty is going to make them very annoyed.
The developers clearly want to keep some of that uncertainty in the game, even as they flirt with the competitive community. I bet it is going to be hard to find a good balance.
edit: There's nothing unique to coh2 when it comes to people figuring out how to exploit a map or any feature of the game. That's a phenomenon in absolutely every game that has ever existed. That's because people are competitive--the games are just a way to express it.
I dont read neo-nazi stuff. This is not scientific.
Here are some very good books about the topic.

Some nice books for you to read describing the russian side:
On of the best documentaires i have seen about the eastern front is BBC's war of the Centrury, with interviews with russian and german veterans
Enjoy
I'm using the Sennheiser RS 180.
And run the Zalman ZM-MIC1 with the keyboard cable.
Love the quality and no fucking wires touching my legs when I'm in my shorts.

Actually it was the M3 Lee that the Soviets refereed to as "a bed of honour [or grave] for six men" (and yes, they always preferred a T-34 over a M3 Lee, because the Lee was a piece of crap that was too high to conceal, insufficiently armed (lacking a main gun in its turret) and had rivets which tended to pop off inside the interior of the tank and ricochet around killing the crew when the tank was hit by a non-penetrating round.)
The Soviets didn't really love or hate the Sherman - they liked the fact that it's ammo was more securely stored, making it less prone (that a T-34/76) to blow up when hit, and they liked the large size of the turret (compared to a T-34/76).
However, the Sherman was top heavy and had thin tracks, making it less useful in the rough terrain (and mud/snow) of the Eastern Front.
There is an interesting book written about the Soviet experiences with Sherman's during the war.
