I suggest picking arty cover doctrine it has a lot of advantages for new players.

Im not a pro I play casual you can check my replays vs OKW I think i did a good job with arty cover, I killed 2 king tigers with a well timed arty cover and aggresive push, i almost lost to those massive shreck blobs vickers held on he gave up 1 hour 15 mins.

1) if you manage to save your AEC till your first armor make AEC command vehicle ( it gives a lot of bonus your AT guns will go bonkers .. 30% reload, 30% recieved accuracy is no joke)

2) you can save atleast 400 odd manpower if you spend 150 munition on AT and vickers drop.

3) OKW struggle with supression, so vs OKW 2 Vickers is a must add 3 with drop ability.

4) use of arty cover.. wait of the right time to use it dont use it defensively, be very aggressive when you use it.

Thanks for ypur replay, I already learned a few things from it like the efficient use of the tactical support commander. I also use Hammer more often now, because the Comet can compete with heavy tanks and the gammons force suppressed units to retreat.

But I still think the UKF seem a bit underpowered, due to lack of infantry strength in the early game (IS can only survive with Vivkers support) and hard-to-handle tanks in the lategame. The only real strong unit is the AEC. I started to play USF a few days ago and they seem to be more powerfull. The agressive playstyle makes it easy to gain mapcontrol and stuarts/ATs/etc will sustain it. The tanks are fast, cheap, easy to handle and are able to hunt down any targets. I reached level 11 within the first 15 games (now 10 again ) and USF are so much fun to play, but maybe it's just because the US Army was my favourite in the first CoH!

I'm new to the UKF and I just had a hard time during the first few ranked games against OKW. The early-mid-game works quite well for me, with trenches Vickers AECs and Sipers gaining map control. But as it comes to the lategame i lose the grip, because there is no way to support my troops like the OKW Player does. The OKW saves their range support with those infantry-artillery and Stukas, which by the way outrange my support (mortar pits etc) by far. There is no way to get rid of these, if the OKW player has just basic micro-skills to defend them, and I have to deal with the fire from above until the bitter end. They kill my AT-Gun- and Vickers-firecrews and my RE's while they're repairing Vehicles, that take a lot of Damage from the Stukas too. That all drains my military clout a lot.
The OKW advantages me in every way, Jagdpanzer IV and Schrecks kill my tanks. Even though they charge with blobs into my Centaur they kill it whith acceptable casualties and there is no way to supress them, because I can barely keep my MGs alive. The Jagdpanzers take out anything moving, even my Fireflys, cuz there is no way to charge them while they are being protected by Schrecks. The only thing that helps are the upgraded Infantry Sections with 5 men Brens and Medics, they can easily compete with Volks-blobs and Obersoldaten. But there is no way to win the game without anti-tank and vehicle support.
I got outplayed a few times by players with a lower skill-level. Some of my wins aren't really wins, I just managed to outcap the enemy somehow even though i got crushed.
Please give me some advice how to play against OKW maybe with a replay referrence
I thought of the use of chruchs and comets, but didn't tried them out yet.
Here's just a replay, where you can see my struggle:
