Vanguard by far because, it has everything that is great about the british. A flamethrower tank that absorbs damage and slaughters any blobs, a glider with a officer that has more armor then shocks and can produce commandos. What else more do you need. Easy Eight Commander also has flaws such as every rifle squad can get commandos. The white phosphorus needs a increased time between red flares and action it is too quick at the moment.

So after participating in the UKF alpha and playing the game in its current state, the Ostheer has a severe problem with how much fuel it requires. Before the UKF (in the alpha) the game in terms of Oil was somewhat balanced now it is preposterous for the Ostheer.
These prices are only if you build the tank without researching anything requiring oil or building another vehicle unless explicitly stated.
Ostheer (whermact)

T0 Building (grens)-10 fuel
40 Fuel Upgrade Req
T1 building (pak)-20 fuel
45 Fuel Upgrade Req
T2 building (Stug)-75 fuel
45 Fuel Upgrade Req
T3 Building (panther)-75 fuel

Stug Cost=90 fuel
PzIV Cost=125 fuel
Panther Cost=175 fuel

To Get a Stug it costs 280 Fuel, if you do not buy any other vehicle.
If you skips the Tier 1 building it costs 260 fuel.
Pz IV-315 fuel
Panther-485 fuel
Panther if you don't build Tier 1 or Tier 2 building (u gotta be crazy)-390 fuel
Ostwind-290 fuel
*All these estimates are if you do not buy any other vehicle or upgrade requiring fuel.

USSR
T0 (Penals)-10 Fuel
T1 (Zis/Maxim)-20 fuel
T2 (Su-76)-85
T3 (T34/76)-90

To Get a Su-76 providing you go with T0 building-170
Even with Molotov and AT nade-200 fuel
To Get a Su-85 with T0 building (no oil or research units)-305
With Molotov and AT Nade-335 fuel

USF
T1 (Lt.)-50
T2 (Capt.)-60
T3 (Major)-120

To get a M3A1 Stuart-180 fuel (comes in a minimum 6 minute mark, hard for axis to counter unless the US player is terrible with tank and goes right into AT or fausts) Germans have no light tank! Other than crappy puma commander.
To get a M4A1 Sherman-340
Bazooka Upgrade and Grenade=40 fuel so add that to any of these prices) (15 zooka, 25 nade)

UKF
Platoon HQ (Armored Car)-30 Fuel
Batallion HQ (firefly)-115 Fuel
50 Hammer and Anvil spec

To get an amored car without any infantry upgrades-95. This has a 75mm gun, I have taken out a panther with it by circling it and several Pz 4 by circling. Early game, like the stuart, hard to counter. Especially since it can come in relatively early.
To get a centaur (OP)-245. This unit can penetrate the frontal armor of a Tiger folks lol, like seriously. Is it not op?
To get a Cromwell-255 fuel
To get a Firefly-300 fuel
Churchill-345 fuel
Comet-380
For infantry upgrades that require oil add on 15 fuel-Grenade, 20 fuel-weapons, 25 fuel xtra dude


Conclusion

The Ostheer is roughly balanced in fuel needed for tanks with the USF. PzIV-315 fuel, Sherman 340.
However, the allies have the advantage in Terms of Light armor due to the lack of german light armor.
However, other then the USF, the Ostheer is severely at a disadvantage with the UKF and USSR. To Build a Stug Requires 280 fuel, a Su-76 requires 170, with goodies 200. Still way less then the stug.
To get even an Su-85 it takes less fuel then the PzIv-315 fuel, Su-85-305 fuel. Only with the Molotov and AT Nade does the Su-85 become more expensive.
The UKF has advantage over Axis armor in terms of firepower and and fuel costs (maybe except with the Tiger Ace and Tiger penetration). The churchill has huge hp and you can field up to four. Needs to be limited, but anyways...
The UKF Centaur-245 while the Ostwind takes 290 fuel and performs worse. The UKF cromwell takes 255 fuel while the PzIv requires 315 fuel and can take on a PzIV and win especially with smoke shell. (can't remember if cromwell has smoke shell)
To Get a firefly it takes 300 fuel while the PzIV takes 315 fuel and the Panther 485 fuel and Seems to hit harder then the panther and increased penetration for way less of a cost. (Need help verifying)
The churchill takes 345 fuel while the Panther takes 485 fuel and the panther will loose because of the insane HP of the churchill.
The Comet takes 380 fuel while the Panther needs 485 fuel to build and the Comet will beat the panther with its 77mm gun and high velocity gun and smoke shell.

In short the Germans are shortchanged in terms of Penetration and Tank Hp against the UKF and USSR. Only against the USF does the German Fuel ratio almost equate with USF
armor. Thank you for reading my post. Hope it was informative.
