Axis still have no counter to sniper, maxim, zis with guards and shocks running around. Zis guns kill trucks super easily. Not to mention demo charges and mines, which are a nightmare to defuse as okw.

In team games you will always have one player rushing stuka which usually comes out around the 8min mark, good luck trying to protect your maxims/ZiS/snipers then. Sturms also get minesweepers like an other factions so I don't see how mines are a "nightmare" to defuse

Usually OKW never gets far enough to get up the FlaK truck (in an actually defensive position and not just really far back). The early support weapons and mass of infantry forces them to get either a walking stuka, a FlaK HT or a medic truck with leIGs. If the Allies then apply pressure at the right timings (those units tend to be rather risky and only profitable in the long run, short term they have a huge cost and little impact) you can often cause such economic damage that they never recover.
Even mid lategame the USF / Soviets tend to have great counters and can often quickly switch tactics. Adapting to a new situation is something the OBW / OST are not really good at.

We had some internal games (3v3 / 4v4) higher skill players to test it out and in all cases Allies won. Axis might win annihilation games easily, but the early pressure from Allies means that for a long time they are usually triple capped. At a certain point they need to take fights in which they lose squads, if the Allies know that and cause maximum wipes in such situations the higher vet is useless.
