allies scale better with skill. If you suck, axis is OP. If you have above average micro you could exploit axis shortcomings in the early game and have your early game advantage carry over to mid game and keep axis on the backfoot through map control. Allies have more common chances to wipe axis infantry, and consequently on average survive one shot wipe abilities/units more often.
These patch changes are trying to remove some of the disparity.
Allies can seem less forgiving, but at the same time they possess a lot of advantages axis dont have.

One accurate statement.
Meanwhile, in any combat, the one who has the bigger chances is the one who has and keeps initiative, allied being specifically designed in this direction, while the one who loses initiative is the most exposed, no matter how good his defence is. This is a basic rule of war, since the dawn of human kind.
i disagree
not one faction is designed to have initiative. it is just that allies usually gain initiative by being aggressive and axis, vice versa.
what is initiative anyway? assuming it means having control, in my opinion, just because your faction is designed to lead attacks, that does not mean the faction is designed around having initiative. you can have just much control on the battlefield by being defensive as germans.

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific.
