You guys are 100% wrong about the current balance right now. I am shocked to see so many allied fanboys lacking objectivity. Now before you accuse me of being an axis fanboy, I'm currently ranked 11th in Allied 3v3 (name = Troll Master Water Mage, and I know the name is stupid, it was intentional). The best I have ever been on the axis side was 37th, and that was by playing our asses off. We easily got to rank #11 today without working too hard.
I agree with Alex on a lot of what he says. Ohme is wrong on a number of things: yes, in an ideal world, the Jagdtiger and the elephants do sync extremely well with the other axis teammates. But going for a jagdtiger is a massive opportunity cost, and is prohibitively expensive. The strategy to beat axis is quite simple:
- aggressive infantry play supported by mgs/at guns/snipers in order to decap territory
- early light vehicles to maintain advantage or go straight to medium armor
- infantry screen and armor pushes, allowing further decapping
- indirect fire or offmap fire on OKW HQs
- medium tank armada swarms heavy tanks with infantry blobs and furthermore supported by IS2s or t-34/85s
I prefer allies at the moment, and I fear that's because they're so damn powerful. M1919s, either on rifles or Airborne, are awesome. T34/85s with marked target, jacksons, IS2s, guards, reliable mines, the list goes on.
