Keep your distance with your medium tanks, and don't move your light tanks to a location that's in sight of the Soviet tanks or AT guns.
At medium range (~500 meters), your tanks will still be reasonably accurate and as the Soviet 1930's tank variants don't have good armour, you can still destroy them at that range. Their 45mm's generally have a penetration of around 4-5 at that range, which is something up-armored German/Czech medium tanks can take. Your tanks will also generally fire first, and more often to begin with. Concentrate fire from multiple tanks on a single enemy tanks when you have a "poor" chance to hit, in other situations you can generally assign one target to each of your tanks.
With tanks with an armour rating of 3 or less, make sure firefights are short, not prolonged, and that your tanks shoot first, achieved by the enemy tanks moving in sight when your own tanks are stationary, or when you're attacking from a position that requires them to turn their turrets or the entire tank.
With T-34's and KV's, you have to play hide and seek to make sure your tanks open fire at short range, although you'll have an easier time taking them out with 50mm-equipped Panzer III's or Panzer IV's with HEAT ammo than with Czech tanks or 37mm-equipped Panzer III's.
