Why do YOU prefer Axis over Allies?
Posts: 618
Anyway, I personally like WW2 US Army tanks, equipment and uniforms, and I like reading about it. I like the German combat uniforms, equipment and tanks as well, however. Honestly I don't really prefer any faction over the other I like playing all of them equally.

That´s simply not true. 4men squads standard are not forgiving to play. Especially not versus ammo-floating Soviets with omni-purpose mines and a focus on artillery.
They are. You don´t need to attack for the first 5-7 minutes with your gren, just stay in cover and hold your fuel until you feel comfortable to start to push back. In fact this is probably the biggest challenge early game for Ostheer, to not overextend too fast and so create holes in your line of defense.
Playing USF, you always feel under pressure by the time. playing Ostheer, only times I have felt the pressure were when I have been matched vs top50 players while I´m definitively not good with Ostheer.

Oh but it was not about quality vs quantity but "good" vs "evil" (look at initial post of the listing).
Thus the sarcasm comes from your actual statement that humanity is on the evil side when fighting the covenant. And it is ironic since you obviously believe the opposite.
No offense.
How is humanity on the evil side? The covies shot first.

You can´t run in later into a wall of Maxims, Zis + Flak ht + mines. German late game has been nerfed.
Just stop it with the "Axis just need to wait". That´s not true any longer - definitely not when facing Soviets. USF is a different case. But that´s a problem with the army design, not of the Axis factions.

If we removed vet 5 and gave OKW full fuel income it would make the faction a lot less gimmicky.
Didn't you say a few days ago that OKW is like a beautiful butterfly?

I used to be very biased towards playing Axis for the following reasons.
1. Ostheer is much closer to vCoh Wehr than Soviet to any vCoh faction. Familiarity alone made them the more appealing faction to begin with.
2. Axis is the comeback side. We all know how difficult it is to dominate early game axis and usually you are just holding on till late game. This appeals to me as the wins are more satisfying when you overcome difficult obstacles early on to win the game.
3. More interesting (and famous/infamous) weapons and units.
4. Playing the bad guys.
5. Since I played almost exclusively axis and I enjoy being competitive, learning the allied factions was somewhat intimdating since I knew I'd be such a noob.
However...
I now play allies probably more because.
A. The wait times aren't ridiculously long in que.
B. Turns out, the Soviets are pretty damn fun with some variety of their own in units.
C. I'm an American and want to play with units of my country. (Shameless plug)
D. It gets boring playing only one side.

You can drink and play Axis and still win the game, but sadly not with Allies.
This. Every single random 3s game as OKW I've played legitimately drunk.

IE in Starcraft 2 one would think that the Zerg would be a fast offensive faction but in reality are a more passive macro faction. Same could be said about constantly harassing terrans, Protoss gate rushing/mothership harass, etc.
