At least most people agree Ost is fairly weak. That's a good sign.
For 1v1, the bigger the game mode, the stronger ost is to the point, where its 1st or 2nd strongest faction in 4v4.

How did the UKF on release not make your list, specifically the Crocodile? I stopped playing OKW 1v1's for awhile, largely due to that one unit.
Or six months of Penals with ourah and flamers

Every faction has had its awful buff patches.
Nothing UKF ever had or did is as bad as the March Deployment reign of terror, IMO.

90 range phosphorus rounds with arty cover and bofors / centaurs instantly killing garrisoned units was definitely a better time than jlis, I agree

March deployment patch allowed 100+ win streaks for good players on ost and allowed bad players to compete against top players in long games that would've been stomps otherwise.
Even OKW infantry on release wasn't as bullshit overpowered as march deployment grens, they literally roflstomped any other infantry unit without even giving them a chance.
What you've said is nothing compared to march deployment patch. The sole fact so many people remember that despite it being first year patch speaks volumes about its impact.
Hell, I managed to pull of 1h+ game against Jesulin back then just because I picked ost and his superior skill and micro got literally nothing on a-moved grens.

I personally believe Soviets are stronger than USF as OKW are the most viable Axis faction and Soviets can out-power them in the late game reliably, due to superior manpower economy as the game wears on. With USF they tend to trade equally vs. OKW and so the advantage isn't as pronounced.

the near DPS buff to rifles made them super good vs Whermacht... people say OKW was too good vs all factions... why not nerf volks near dps instead of buffing rifle’s long range?

They were already stomping grens at that range, literally nothing changed here, except for engagement ending 3-5 seconds faster(because you're not going to stay there until you're wiped, are you?).

Then why suddenly USF goes to top1 when last patch was only about that and several other nerfs? That's a true question.

Soviets, USF, OKW all seem quite close even after the tourney it's quite hard to call.
Seems to be a clear consensus Ostheer brits as 4th/5th, though Ostheer is still fun and worth playing to me.

I would like to see people say how big is the gap between factions, because we can rank them up but maybe they all are in the same plateau of power level
