After having played many games in 2vs2 AT recently with both Axis and Allies I think Sim City is indeed counterable in this game mode (double OKW works for sure). You will need a different mindset and strategy though to break through.

To be honest, Sim City separates those ones who simply blobbed their way to victory with Axis from these ones who are capable of using their brain.

By the way: Playing versus Sim City was the only challenge that I have faced in 2vs2 AT as double OKW.
It might be frustrating to fight against but seems to be the only reliable counter to halt double OKW's might in late game wherefore I am not enraged about anyone building a city against us.

In this case I always try to engage the Sturmpioneers in maximum range focusing one squad. If you have green cover available at your cutoff point use it (or create it via Sandbags/Tank Traps)! Then it will be almost impossible for Sturms to sturm the position since he will either rush to the green cover where your men stand to minimize the range which means they have to fight without cover while charging or he will bleed atrociously by just standing at your cutoff point and being shot.

Depends on the hostile faction for me. If I have to battle versus Ostheer I usually go for T1 using Sniper and the Scout Car garrisoned with Combat Engineers upgraded with flamer. Then upgrading AT nades and going for Guards/SU-76 seems reasonable since your opponent will rush for 222s or other (doctrinal) light vehicles. Be careful about Ostheer Snipers though. This way can be quite rewarding once you have made your Snipers worth the investment by bleeding your foe but also risky in case you lose the Snipers.

The optimal way to go against OKW is T2. Dealing with Maxims is quite challenging for your OKW opponent and you can be sure that he has to invest more energy to deal with you than you have to invest to deal with him. You have to be careful about flame nades/infiltration nades, Jaegers spawning from behind and Luchs. After you have built up your Maxim lines supported by at least 2 Conscripts you can consider purchasing a T70 to restrict the Luchs' activity together with a ZiS-gun. Shock Rifle Doctrine works ideally in this scenario.

Other than that, the T2-focused approach can be executed versus Ostheer either whereas the T1-focused approach is not recommended to be used against OKW since it does not exploit OKW's weaknesses well and OKW is able to handle it comfortably. On the one hand Volksgrenadiers do not cost as much to reinforce as Grenadiers and are 5 man squads. On the other hand the OKW player has the Luchs to bleed you out and can spawn Jaegers/Fallschirmjaegers behind the frontline to melt your Snipers away within a millisecond.

Using them on urban maps where they can profit from close range immensely makes most sense to me. In such terrain it is also easier to flank HMGs which could stop their rampage by cleverly utilizing the Real Sight Feature to execute a nasty flank. Furthermore they are able to throw infiltration grenades to clear out buildings comfortably.

If you going to do something do it right.

If your going to go down anyways, you might as well take risks to see how good you can make the game, not pitter out the lowest possible form of what COH is.

Relic never had a goal for the game. Its always FELT like its in some sort of disarray. "If you never have a target you wont hit it"

I have to say, the two patches before the brits came out the game was real fun and felt a lot better, but as usual if you just add factions and commanders it puts the game back into disarray. They dont get to a good place in balance then say OK BALANCE IS SOLID LETS GET THE MAPS THIS GOOD, or OK BALANCE IS SOLID LETS GET EPIC ESPORTS MOMENTUM GOING BY DOING X Y AND Z, they throw more content in and we go back to disarray.

Have A Goal

Very precise post in my opinion. As player since day one I feel like this procedure has been executed by Relic way too many times. The game did follow this frustrating and foreseeable cycle of releasing more or less broken DLC commanders, watching them ingame being abused and then targeting them with the nerf hammer.

I rather would have seen a focus on breakthroughs in areas like map balance/faction design/stat tweaking/etc. which would have been advantageous for every player, not only for those ones who have bought the new commanders.
