OKW extremly OP, when a new patch will be out?

This doesn't tell the true story about balance.

USF's only way to win in team games is to a-move a huge LMG blob and P-47 abuse and jacksons + M8s against equally skilled players. Anything else just doesn't work. But this "strategy" is very effective even vs OKW's late game.

In 1v1, wehrmacht's early and mid-game weakness boosts USF's winrate while long games (USF vs OKW) tend to go into OKW's favor. Soviets do decently vs OKW and can overwhelm Wehr during the early game and gives soviets a good advantage overall.

But how will COH2 be playable if 100% will be playing as axis?

It is 90% playing as axis right now, if Relic buffs axis we can bury COH2

with paras which are too expensive and clearly underperforming.

im going to say this one last time:

check the games in progress... there are hundreds of players playing with a ratio of 1:1
the search time is rather low (when compared to ingame time) and i doubt there are more than 50 players searching at any given time

if relic would reintroduce the number of players searching this would be more obvious to everyone... but then i stated my doubts about axis/allies ratio 10x over and ppl still only take searching players into account

there are more axis players but that 100% means jack shit when theres 1000+ players ingame with a 1:1 ratio and only <50 players searching with 9:1

but yeah 100% players play axis, right...

Just try to use yor brain for a sec: It takes few secs to find a game playing allies and far more time to get a game while axis. Sometimes it takes minutes to find a game as axis. While as allies it never takes more than 10 sec for me.

It is obvious: people play the strongest faction.

And if you want a hard empiric evidence: buff ISU back to its former glory and youll see ratio geting more balanced.

Make US armor more durable and youll see ratio get 50:50. No brainer

1. OKW has exactly 2 indirect fire units, the worst one in the game, and arguably one of the best and NOTHING ELSE.

2. Zero medium armor, If you know how to crush, and actually support your tanks with infantry, you can very easily annihilate a OKW player by just forcing a retreat and just driving over his infantry at his medi HQ. Late game is really were OKW shines.

3. Lack of counter to scout car spam, yes no fausts means your scout cars are free to roam the map wiping squads while the OKW player prays his first shrek doesn't miss.

4. Lack of counter to AA HT, just keep your HT slightly out of range of their shreks and watch as you keep entire armies at bay! Also bonus points for killing a Puma with you AA HT.

5. Utter lack of counter to Howitzers! Enjoy wiping 3-4 squads per shell as you rain screaming hot death on their HQ's!

Well tbh, I wouldn't be too surprised if that was true. After all most ppl just move their entire infantry army in one huge blob so wipes like that tend to happen. I love pack howis and infantry support guns vs that kind of playstyle. But they never learn...

True.



JagdPIV is the best tank destroyer out the earliest. If you're really getting rushed so badly, learn to love it.



Cheap mines and flakht are a better counter than fausts from a platform as fragile as grens if you ask me. M3 is absolutely dead against OKW. Not that snipers really fare much better because it's so easy to just overrun them as OKW.



If you lose puma or flakht to american flakht you are bad. USF AA HT has no ground attack, just smoke and it can do absolutely nothing to you.
