Default Tips for playing as the Soviets 39-45

Looking for some pointers to use on a Soviet campaign from 1939-1945. I've got a 1 rifle infantry company, 1 medium tank company, 1 motorized rifle company, 2 BT tank platoons, 1 heavy tank platoon and 2 platoons of towed AAA.
I've just started to battle the Finns and my troops seem to panic as soon as the shooting starts. I try and keep them within the command range of their platoon leaders and rally them as much as I can but those rascally Finns seem to appear out of nowhere and the Finnish ski scouts fight like demons. At the moment I'm stuck in this "lovely" forest where the LOS is one hex if you're lucky and my armor isn't much help, even if they are in the same hex with the infantry platoons. Not sure if instead of using support points for artillery I should invest in some flamethrowers and see if that helps but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
