In the group of three that I normally play with, we had a seven game losing streak as allies and a 12 game winning streak as axis at the same time with the current patch. Now, maybe we suddenly forgot how to play allies and only know how to play when playing axis, or maybe the balance in larger games shifted.
On a positive note, 1v1's as OKW seem better now.
Exactly. That's the point of the meta shift. Every time there is a patch people need to relearn the game. For the pro's this might take a day or two, for some it will take a week or two.
I'm very much guilty of jumping on the bandwagon when it comes to saying things are now awful/good, and Iv been trying to do that less.
As for how OKW is right now I would just repeat what I said earlier; OKW early game with the suppression buff for the Kubel/MG34 is a lot nicer but still suffers from the fact OKW lacks any kind of early game building clearance that's affordable. But still it's manageable.
What's really hurting OKW right now is the mid game, there is a huuuuge gap between the T1 and T2 vehicles and t3 vehicles. Medic HQ is so insanely popular because the JPIV can help bridge that gap but the lack of an affordable generalist tank has been a real huge kick in the balls for OKW lately.
Countering MG's like the .50 cal is also problematic, as with the maxim flanking can normally work with it's tight cone but you don't have that with the .50.
