Why so many people play german

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.

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

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

In my case, I like playing 2v2 german because I find the games more challenging.

Seems easier to play allies. Try double werh! and feel the cheese of allies.

KV2 can be alright but costs the same as a fucking Tiger.

Double Ostheer still insta lose

Double Ostheer is only instant lose if enemy is smart and gets early rocket arty to rape all them lame Ostheer support weapons. I swear especially in 1on1 Ost is almost as bad as Brits sometimes. Double AT-Gun, Stug, tripple MG, mortar, HT for reinforcment, teller mines and mine fields everywhere. Then zero movement till double cap won him the game. These ppl are the worst lol...

Unfortunately that is the way that faction is designed to play. The same goes for Soviets, that are supposed to be aggressive, yet lack basically all means to do so and have to crutch on doctrines to get by..

Well yes they are designed around good support weapons but it still comes down to who plays them. This doesn´t apply to high lvl players but lots of the mid-low tier OST players are just too defensive and basically do nothing all game while you are constantly banging your head against a wall of MGs, AT-Guns, Mines, etc. That´s not fun. Ideally I enjoy games with lots of infantry fights that go back and forth. Both sides moving etc. Not one side (usually me) trying to brake-up some defense while the Ost player does nothing but reposition support weapons and reinforce with HT.

The reason they do this is because if you make 1 mistake as Ostheer, you lose. I can make a lot of mistakes with OKW or Soviets and get away with it.

The third categhory are guys who enjoy izi wins and play the most OP faction of current time

With Soviets? Literally the hardest early game in the whole game. Lose one of your precious Penals or Sniper early and it´s gg. Lose one of the Dshk and it´s gg. If you play against OKW and you don´t get it perfectly right against early Luchs rush and it´s gg. I am not playing Ost at the moment so I dont want to comment on that but the truth is Soviets are everything but easy to play with. They can be very powerful but everything must be done right in order to get there.

Nope, its can be for some strats or map, but in generall, nope. Its have same + and - like 2 okw or 2 soviets.

This.
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.

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