Depending on the build that you choose, ostheer can lose the game in less than 30 seconds against USFs. If it involves a lot of support, one missed flank and all your support weapons will turn against you.

I dont agree with the OST-Sniper thing!
He is hitting his targets at a rate of 100% - Soviet sniper cant do that. He misses much often.
And he is easier to kill.

Im not saying the Ost sniper is bad or anything, hes probably the best in the game. But unlike soviets where the sniper isnt really groundbreaking important, losing the Ost sniper early is detrimental to your early-mid game play as Grens are fragile and lose to allied infantry w/o a mg42, the same can go for cons but cons are a 6 man durable squad able to hold ground for a while against axis infantry unlike you can bring support weapons or elite inf/more cons to support.

The OST Sniper is game breaking against US Forces if you get them late game while you have tanks out. A US player cannot and will not kill your snipers with your tanks on the field and snipers just drain US dry.
Company of Heroes 2 is by far the most imbalanced game I have played in my life. I have no idea what relic's balance team was thinking. Removing key units from COH1 US Faction creates so many problems for this game (Flame engi's, snipers, mortar teams) that a US player just gets stomped on certain maps since they can't deal with units in buildings or don't have the units or abilities to stand up to late game Wehr and OKW.

For me it is USF because of squishy armor and lots of abilities (vehicle crew, smoke barrage, HVAP, switching shell types, etc).
But IMO hardest to play =/= highest micro requirement.

you forgot about usf paper armor late game vs heavy nazi tanks
while the german player is "controlling""microing" his mgs to stand still and his tanks to stand with there
front armor
one clicking with his LMG greens on ur rifleman [a lot of micro going on for the wehrmacht army
you are trying to break through with all your force to flank his tanks and now you can insert the "ability micro"
your rifleman lose while they are tring to come close at long range to one click greensLMG wipe + wehrmacht HMGS
your ATGS bounse every shoot, ur tanks made of paper ...

Because grens are known to be so strong. Throw a smoke, blob in with your rifle blob. Easy.

The hardest faction to play with the biggest micro input is Ostheer.

I would argue it is the soviet faction, from the start of the game all of there units have been nerfed and everything they have is squishy.. at least ostheer has solid units best AT in the game HMG thats much better than maxim a mortar that literally wipes squads.. also it has bunkers and very good defensive capabilities.

What? I´m always glad if I see Soviet opponents on the loading screen. Seeing Brits on the loading screen makes me feel frustrated and prepared for an unfun game. Brits are by far stronger than poor Soviets.
Soviets are probably the strongest faction so I wouldnt say that they are the hardest.

Vickers > Maxim
Tommies > Conscripts
Cromwells > T-34/76s
Comets > doctrinal T-34/85s
To only mention a few important units. Add to that the worst vet bonuses in the game coming for Soviet units and some of the most gimmicky abilities and vet bonuses coming for the Brits (grenade on tanks, Phosphorus rounds, tank commander, Blitz without vet) and Soviets are the clear loser.

This is a funny thread. Most of these people should be bringing their problems to the strategy desk instead of whining about them on the balance forums. I still haven't seen any good arguments why axis are easier to play than allies specifically the USFs and soviets.

That is literally a solid line of more expensive item > less expensive item. A point that you could make is that 6pdr > ZIS but other than that I can't think of anything substantial that isn't compensated for.
