In fact it probably would. Ever play any of the CoH1 mods? They were excellent. And that was from unpaid volunteers with their spare time.
They also fixed the m10 misfire bug, which Relic never ever got around to even though the source of the problem was known and there was a tiny mod that fixed it.
That you can't find allies to play against shows that Relic does a poor job. As far as stats go IT IS THE ONLY ONE THAT REALLY MATTERS.

Company of Heroes has very unique game mechanics which make the game enjoyable but sadly on the same time hard to balance in 1v1 and these problems (imho mainly the resource mechanics) increase with the amount of players in a given mode.

Most mods I played in vCoH were unbalanced as hell until years after release and I tried a lot. They were enjoyable for casual or vs AI play, but never even close to being balanced.
As far as I know the misfire bug is to this day unfixed, because it would require a completely different animation. What most people did was remove the wind-up time. That way it could not happen anymore that it misfires, but the actual animation was no longer in sync with the unit firing. Wind-up and wind-down times are the times that animations take and are not to be changed. I personally would've gone with a broken animation but a working unit, but in the end I can understand that they did not want to break that to fix the gameplay. Lots of people played vCoH due to the looks.
Teamgames are problematic due to the scaling. I brought it up with Relic several times and tried them to change things, but I guess they are too busy with other stuff. *sniff*
I'd say 4v4 you can easily win as Allies as well, you just need a good team composition and coordination. I find games as Allies in 4v4 more stressful, as you have to handle more units and usually units that need more attention. Axis tend to lock down with PaKs and MG42 to a degree, which require little micro. Similarly lategame the heavies and super heavies. Soviets need similar micro lategame, but more earlygame while USF needs less micro early, but more mid / lategame. Jacksons are awesome, P47 is awesome, both easily capable of taking down the heavy Axis tanks. If you do not meet those 'skill' requirements you are going to have a bad time (less now with the P47 'Finger of God' [The true 'Hand of God' was even stronger, this just pities in comparison!]).

Those mods were not really balanced, but they were well-done. Th thing is, there were people working on it that had a clue about what they are doing. Those dev teams were really good atcreating mods and trying to balance them.
You cannot say that about 95% of the community that is actually discussing balance here.

Nobodys asking for perfection, but the fact that the axis players are winning 25-30% more games on average is ridiculously imbalanced and deffinatley needs to be fixed in some capacity. Team games are less fun playing both factions nowdays. Before WFA Axis won mabye 5% more games than allies if that at all

Allies need to have some hope of winning. But at even skill, Axis will win nearly all the time now. So nobody want to play allies.
Can you also understand that some people have bought the game for it's 4vs4 component ? That they feel robbed of their favorite game ?
I hope someone of influence will understand. (Mr. Duffy ?

Permanently BannedLet them continue to make excuses for relic. The game wont ever be balanced, as long as relic has their army of forum members defending their poor design choices
Just leave the game, you will not get support on these forums. sadly.....
