1v1 Ostheer is tough for me. I feel like I am on the back foot all of the time and stretched thin. In team games when I don't have to worry about getting flanked I'm pretty good with them though.
Team games I find US the hardest. You have to micro like crazy just to get mediocre results. Even on games where I really do well my damage done compared to opponents is not near as high as I can get it with Soviets.
Every faction has their thing which can be used to good effect in team games by just about everyone. Sov=snipers and maxims, b4, ISU, etc. Ost=combined arms of doom, Tigers OKW=Sweet heavy tanks, obers. US=???
In team games USF gets the fantastic M8A1 Scott, the ultra-powerful (yet unreliable) Jackson and the brutal P47 strafe.

Once I have four vetted Riflemen armed to the teeth lead by an officer and supported by light vehicles, I feel like nothing can stop me.

The most appealing I find USF or Ostheer. Although USF has paper thin armor, I enjoy Jacksons. They are so deadly when microed properly. Ostheer has some cool toys like Tigers and Brummbär .

OKW is just the hardest
Ostheer is second
Soviets easiest ATM to me.

The Red Army, the Wehrmacht - Normal
OKW - easy, playing a lot of fights in the USSR where a lot microinspection, OKW with stronger units very easy

The most popular strategy all the USF players use is so hard to beat, I guess I lack the patience. LMG/BAR blobs negate your infantry and are nearly impossible to contain using MG42s.
Mid-late game the P-47 kills your tanks with one click and you can't even repair them because the repair pioneers will die. During this time the USF's infantry can take the entire map and you have to push in after repairing your tanks, if they are still alive. Then the second strafe hits and you're back to square one. Rinse and repeat. Not very interesting let alone fun for the wehrmacht.
Without P-47s it's fair because you can actually counter the blobs.

For once, I agree with what VonIvan said about Ostheer and USF being the harddest to play. USF for late game and Ostheer for start game.

E.g. I disagree completely with Crecer13 above, I find USF really interesting and fun to play.

it's still the USA and the Soviets that are the most challenging to play with.
The OKW is still the most powerfully faction : Stuka, Ober blob e.t.c.
Thanks

It is so difficult now.
Before WFA
After WFA
Ostheer players should veto like 4 or 5 map instead of only 3.

US, I hate to walk back to base to pick up guns or manual heal from ambulance everytime.
That's true...it would be so awesome if there were some kind of mechanic to allwo USF to pick up infantry weapons from vehicles; simulating that they were ferried to the front lines from HQ. Let's say, if you're close to a vehicle, you can arm from there or something.
