As much as all the whiny wehraboos like to bemoan the state of the game, I usually lose to better players and beat worse ones. I play Wehrmacht, USF, and UKF. I only lose when I get outplayed. I don't get my ass kicked by a us mortar. if you get killed by a mortar you need to #adapt (wasn't that what all the wehraboos said 18 months ago?). The game is balanced fairly well. There is plenty of cheese BS for each faction. There is always a counter. The thing that holds back Wehrmacht the most is the lack of a forward retreat. I can't speak for okw 2.0. I have but a handful of games since the switch. I can say that good okw players can kick my head in and bad ones get their head kicked in.
best suggestion is: play and decide for yourself. brush up on the forums for the latest meta and play a few.
Hmmm..u beat worse player and will lose against better player...what is when u play vs same skill bases players?
I think is much easy to win with brits than okw/ ost vs play with the same skill.
Why? Hmm..mabye brits has the hardcounter against okw and ost...and...there isn´t a third faction for axis.
So if a good brit player is in the game..u will lose. look to the last tournement....the allies bashed the axis very hard....or look here:
