With 3 differents allies factions, german are still the favorites, at least in my game mode, 2v2.
Why?

I think that in most WW2 games most ppl want to play the evil Nazis. Not sure why. In COH2 a big reason is probably the fact that the Germans have all the famous tanks. Tigers, Panthers, Kingtiger, etc.

Germans are also easier to play with in team-games. Less skill required to win some games. Try playing Soviets in 3on3/4on4 and you will realize how hard it actually is.

In 1on1 matchmaking is usually more balanced by the way. Team-games attract the more casual types of players.

Only way to play USF in those game modes is to go mass bazookas and calliopes, Priest will not cut it on such modes, I would even say with the nerfs even Brits might have a hard time vs 4 OKW players.

Funny how people thought the Allies had the "cool uniforms" before the WBP hit. I must have missed the "cooler uniform" changes in the release notes.

soviets is actually decent in 3s and 4s. USF is torture.

Soviet 4v4 meta is penals dhsk SU76/SU85 and katty land. That or hordes of t34s.
USF its calli or die.

I feel that the soviet tanks are underwhelming in 4v4, it may be that I'm pretty bad with soviets.

USF 4v4 is something we dont speak of.

First of all i'm not sure if your premise is true, you don't give any numbers to prove your claim. You just feel that "so many people play german" but I will answer anyway.

By germans you mean OKW, not a lot of people play WM because it's harder to win with them. Most people play OKW these days because people think it's easy to win. Most people play to win as they main motivator.

before WBP hit more people still played more axis from what i remember, most allied players where infact brit players. im not saying balance might be a reason why but from my experience of playing dozens ww2 multiplayer games people always tend to pick axis over allies, take ur deluded allied fanboyism elsewhere

More unique faction play compared to allies, also a lil harder to play, so more of a challenge.

This.

Soviet 4v4 meta is penals dhsk
My attempts to use this strategy in 3x3 or 4x4 have failed. Bcs MG42 and volks hords is everywhere so you penals lay down and car burning.

SU76/SU85 and katty land. That or hordes of t34s.

Elefant or Japtiger with some support hard counter ANY ally armor. Katty is OK.

Unique faction play maybe but imo it´s definitly harder to play USF/Soviets than Axis(especially OKW) in 3on3 and 4on4. Raketen-stealth blobs to take out enemy tanks + double Stuka + King/Jagdtiger... It´s just super OP. Compare that to what you get as Soviets...

Yeah. Penal+Dshk in 3on3 and 4on4 is not that good. You get outnumbered and swarmed so hard, it´s awful. No useable Mortar to counter MG spam either. M4C Sherman is not that good in big team games. Same as T34/76 which is super hard to use in 3on3 and 4on4.

ISU 152 and KV2 are basically useless or at the very least totally overpriced for what they offer. IS2 is meh. ISU 152 is particularly annoying to use since it misses everything once the terrain is a slight bit uneven. KV2 can be alright but costs the same as a fucking Tiger.

Funfact: Out of all of the automatch games played exactly 50% played as Allies and 50% as Axis.

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

14 Mar 2025, 10:45 AM
Rosbone: It is an indicator of the very short sighted capitalist view that plagues any company where leadership does not understand the product.
13 Mar 2025, 20:00 PM
Rosbone: They dont care about Coh3 or Coh in general. They are just trying to grab cash by ripping off the small user base they have.
13 Mar 2025, 19:58 PM
Rosbone: Just making mistake after mistake after mistake.
13 Mar 2025, 19:57 PM
Rosbone: It is clear they crapped out an unfinished game. And are now barely supporting it as they make new smaller games. Coh3 is stillborn. It will be meh for at least another 2-4 years. Meaning they killed the whole franchise instead of growing it.
13 Mar 2025, 19:56 PM
Rosbone: For a thing they could fix in minutes. Literally minutes.
13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM
Rosbone: If I did play coh3 and was mainly a skirmish player, I would be pissed and probably stop playing. And it has been like this since release. Why? I would not tell my friends to buy a game I am not even playing. Lost sales and angered users.
13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM
Rosbone: I am just saddened how Relic keeps hurting themselves by not fixing 5 minute things like menus. Why anger users with stuff that could be fixed in minutes???
13 Mar 2025, 19:50 PM
Rosbone: I was wondering why people think I was raging. I think it was when I said "because coh3 sucks so bad". That was not my opinion. Just a general feel from top players/streamers. I dont play Coh3 and have NO opinion of it.
13 Mar 2025, 19:48 PM
OKSpitfire: You can rage as often as you like btw, you usually manage to make it pretty funny.
12 Mar 2025, 11:18 AM
Rosbone: So it was a systemic failure across multiple disciplines and check points.
12 Mar 2025, 04:30 AM
Rosbone: Knowing how companies work, I imagine a new hire making the menus. The API they are using is complicated and things were hard to figure out. But at some point QA or management should have addressed these things. Usually within 6 months of starting.
12 Mar 2025, 04:29 AM
Rosbone: @theekvn I dont hate Coh3 or Relic. I just dont understand how you work on Coh3 for like 7 years and the menu system is worse than if a Programming 101 student made it. Feel free to explain it to me.
12 Mar 2025, 04:07 AM
theekvn: + 33% dmg rear hit was best deal ever.
12 Mar 2025, 04:00 AM

12 Mar 2025, 03:59 AM
theekvn: and please Rosbone,I know you hate Coh3 to the bone due to your drama with relic, Still, Can you give a proper point of view instead of raging ?.
12 Mar 2025, 03:54 AM
theekvn: you rather go 76 to unity Whizbang 2.0 or go home.
12 Mar 2025, 03:52 AM
theekvn: also US tier 4 is 145f and Sherman pen 140 nerf is too much.
12 Mar 2025, 03:52 AM
theekvn: Whizbang lock behind CP, meanwhile stuka is techtree progress
12 Mar 2025, 03:51 AM
KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.
07 Mar 2025, 19:14 PM
OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....
06 Mar 2025, 16:35 PM
aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?
06 Mar 2025, 13:33 PM
Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?
06 Mar 2025, 12:13 PM
OKSpitfire: A powerful, doctrinal unit that outperforms stock stuff? Colour me shocked! :P
06 Mar 2025, 10:49 AM
Willy Pete: Cool you wanna lose your stock lategame arty too then?
06 Mar 2025, 03:20 AM
Lady Xenarra: WTB Whizzbang for DAK instead of Stuka, 5 fuel cheape, 60MP more expensive and next to impossible to dive. :rofl:
05 Mar 2025, 20:27 PM
Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.
04 Mar 2025, 02:58 AM
Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.
04 Mar 2025, 02:55 AM
Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.
