On topic @ Esxile that logic about axis is what creates many issues on the forums. As i said in my earlier post and I know im not alone, I've played mostly axis since coh 1 through ALL patches. People like what people like. Axis has an appeal. To each his own but to assume that most of the axis player base is in it for easy then there should have been a point where at least once the allied had that percentage and axis was low because the easy win ppl would have all switched over. Axis has been the majority percentage (on searching) since release.Axis needs tweaks but can we stop this "percent high only because axis is super easy". By that same logic most of the allied fan base must be masochist.

Axis factions are noob friendly, like it or not, it is. And it match perfectly 4vs4 when majority of average/low players are going.

Now you can argue that team vs team, it is balanced, yes but still it requires teamplay for a side while the other no.

Your logic works in 1vs1 and 2vs2, not above. How can you explain that in 1vs1, excluding period of big flaw in the balance, the average looking for a match was 40/60 one way or the other but in 3vs3/4vs4 it has always been 80% Axis 20% allied?
Suddenly in 4vs4 people like to play Axis because of bad guys are good looking? But not in 1vs1?
1vs1 is more difficult to play, you need more skill apart from doing some cheesy strategies, and same here, 1vs1 cheessy strats require way more skill and practice than in 4vs4.
So people are playing Axis because in 4vs4 those factions are noob friendly. Of course there are still a base of real Axis fanboy, but the true is make it harder as it is in 1vs1 and you'll see people playing both factions.

I mean, people are saying that in fora, "I like to play Allied but since Axis is easier in 3vs3/4vs4 I play Axis with my friends because:
1- I want to relax and play easy
2- My friends want to relax and play easy
3- My friends are noob".

The sith are just as bad as the nazi's were... if not worse... Pretty sure the wiping out of entire planets is abit of a step further than just targeting jews.

You realize that

C) Star Wars is just fiction? The Nazis were real people doing this to other real people, not cartoon characters.

You realize that
A) They weren't JUST targeting Jews? (a few tens of millions of others dies because of it.)

B) That it was "just" Jews doesn't particularly make a difference is you happen to be Jewish?

It is a universe poorly written and constructed by a creator who proved that he could work really well when he had talented people around to guide him, yet when he had a free hand to give us his real vision it turned out to be pure junk. And junk poorly told and filmed. (This from a huge fan of the first 2 films. Even in the '80s we knew SW was going off the rails when we saw the first teddy bear.)

Finally, as to canon books, all of about a few tens of thousands have read and care about that. If George Lucas' work after Empire were burned to the ground and recreated more people would cheer than mourn. (OK, we have to keep Admiral Fisheyes' "Its a trap!")

Foremost people like to win.

The statistics are already in the game. More even matchups at smaller games (where Allies can win) and lopsided searchers at higher levels.

It is also why in COH1 lots more people played Brit 2v2 than 1v1. And that is on top of the unending uncoolness of Brit kit. There is no lesser cool vehicle to look at or use than the Bren Carrier. kangaroos are uncool. Emplacements aren't cool. Infantry sections moving in slowmow aren't cool. Cromwells - uncool. Churchills - seriously uncool (except the AVRE). Commandos are cool. And 25's do make a cool noise.

Not cool. Not cool voices. Yet people play them alot in 2v2. Why? Because people like to win.

hundreds of thousands of M4 with 76mm gun are doctrinal

Hundreds of thousands, you srs? hahaha

22,000 M4s with the 76mm and another 10,000 Tank Destroyers (if you include M10s and 18s). That was in just 3-4 years of production. In comparison only 8,550 PIVs of all variants were built during the 6 years Germany was in the war.

We think of things like the Firefly, the Comet, the Pershing and several Russian tanks as having "limited" productions, but at least 1,000 of each was built and often much more. That only seems limited when compared to the 50,000 total Shermans or T-34s built.

All that "cool" German kit was often just a hodgepodge of designs and upgrades not all of which was built to spec and often even what was still didn't work reliably in the field.

There seems to be a bit of a favoritism.
