USF, everything comes together and it feels good. Every unit is applicable in every situation.
except the m8a1 scott that is.
i love usf, cant tell if i have a favourite faction though.

The reasons are simple: The two base-factions (Wehr/Soviet) are the best designed by nature. These factions are the core of Coh2 and before the new factions were released they were actually balanced out quite well. The new factions all seem to lack something and are more specialized. You have less viable strategies it seems.
Wehrmacht has a good and well rounded loadout. Support weapons, infantry, armor.
The next question is: Why isn´t Soviets my favorite faction then? While they have the potential to be interesting, their gameplay is way too restricting. Every choice you make, blocks another option: Guards or Shock-troops? Good tanks or artillery? This isn´t as much fun.

Dshk should be maxim, Penals should be strelki or something, where's the nondoc ppsh, where's my nondoc KV-1, why is the M5 nondoc but not the BA-64 which would have a neat ghetto puma. And where is officer leading the expendable infantry?
For Ost no hand grenades? No nondoc G41/43? No trenches? No nondoc 250 transport, no hotchkiss, no officers.

All the other factions either rely heavily on commanders (Soviets), are built to trade versatility for specialization, (USF, OKW) or are forced into a pace that doesn't appeal to me as much as the Wehr. (UKF)

That´s an easy win for Wehrmacht.

I really dislike the WFA factions in the way they were designed. I don't think either promotes very interesting gameplay, and I have haaaaated OKW since they first came out. They are getting better though.
UKf is kinda meh. Really similar to Ostheer, but missing some core units in exchange for emplacements. Bleh.

Simple poll time! Balance aside, which faction do you love to play the most. And no "I play every faction bullshit".
It's dictative of you to remove a choice. Now, I cannot make a vote because I love every factions the same way .

But I mostly play Ostheer/Wehrmacht nowadays since all the people I play with like to play Axis all the gorram time.
Never liked the designs of WFA, and Brits, well, are Brits. Boo hiss trucks. Boo hiss emplacements. Emplacements are for artillery. Get off my lawn. Etc.

Imo they have the widest pool of commanders you can pick that actually work, a lot of cheesy strategies and other kind of fun stuff
Ostheer and OKW on the other had come on a split second place for me, I find both equally fun to play with
USF and Brits? These two wont even make it to my list, these factions are extremely dull to play imo, just making one core unit and going to tanks straight after that, call in inf is always an option but meh

It's because the point of the poll isn't to gauge community opinions, but the popularity of the factions themselves. Giving a neutral option takes away from that. Also you always have the option of simply not voting.

Why?
Cause they have alot of options and alot of cool units to play with,their the only faction that has the best voiceover,they also happen to be the most different faction compared to other allied and axis factions and has unique units that no other faction has in any form.
Their also a faction that has the most specialized armored tanks.
The only problem with them atm is their long road towards balance and making every choice a viable one.
