Well, the issue of lacking relative feedback mechanisms was always a disaster for consumer logistics and complex goods.
Economic planning of the Soviet style does work well for simple goods (low inputs, low outputs, easy logistics). Nobody can deny the successful military productivity that the Soviets engaged in WWII from the Urals; guns, tanks, and bullets are all quite low on the complexity scale.
