Good point, but I wasn't suggestion a return to the desperate human wave attacks of 1941-'42. I'm just surprised that the Russians haven't really tried to replicate the very successful (and less costly) tactic of preceding attempted breakthroughs with infantry infiltration attacks, instead of trying to batter their way through with armor (which clearly isn't working very well thanks to St. Javelin and her friends).
