i'm not really a strategy guy, but my buddy told me to play CoH 2. I started the Soviet campaign on easy mode. Why's this shit so fash, and does it get any better?

It does not.
If you're looking for a good RTS depiction of the Soviets in WW2 that avoids bad military history ("asiatic hordes" shit), my rec is Steel Division 2, which also happens to be one of the best wargames ever made.
I will second Steel Division 2. I haven't played it online but they definitely don't throw the Soviet's under the bus narratively. I do sometimes wonder about how bad the brain worms of the devs are at times. Wargame Red Dragon had some cringe DLC's like Israel and Apartheid South Africa.
Every single scenario in the Wargame series is about some NATO brain worms coming true, I'm pretty sure Eugen avoids the most common misconceptions because they put a lot of value on being historically accurate (though not a simulator).
Valid point, I think the only scenario I played was in Red Dragon, the Korean one and the intro to that one was wild.
I suggest playing them all because the game is really fun, but the other cold war brain scenarios include: Soviets invade Vietnam (for some reason!?) and for dessert fight China, Soviets invade mainland Japan over disputed islands, Chinese invade Hong Kong instead of waiting for the hand off date, and the Soviet coup against Gorbachev is successful and they immediately restart the Korean War. I guess they couldn't reuse the scenario where the Soviets invade across the Fulda Gap because both of the previous games dealt with that one.
Literally every single one has NATO being on the defensive, top tier brain worms.
Yeah saw some of those scenarios and they were pretty nuts. But obviously NATO is only a "defensive" organization, so of course they'd never attack anyone they're much too civilized. For real though the Redfor units are just so much more fun. Kind of like Steel Division too. I feel like the USSR has some of the just most fun units. (Nazi's had some wacky stuff but I cannot even entertain the idea of playing them ever).
