I have to admit as DAK I always play Italian Combined Arms, because it seems to be the best deal overall. As DAK you have the Tiger in the end of course which I do think is exeptionally good especially vs Brits since there are no tanks that can reliable pen it from the front unless you go for Black Prince, but Brit Armor company is an inferior choice Imo. Of course there is the nondoctrinal 17pdr but it sits there unable to move on its own with 17 popcap.

There is where your words start to touch 1v1 drastically, and also there is clearly a skill issue, sorry for being straight.
First of all, you call Armor company inferior while it is broken nearly beyond repair in 1v1. Issue with over performing Marder is only a 1v1/2v2 thing since soft AT is superior in 3v3 and 4v4 and UKF has early-mid soft AT like boys-AT rifles (2-3 squads with dirty cheap infantry upgrade from upgrade center kill a marder in a single volley) and a very good late-game soft-AT as Foot Guards, which are best pick for your set of units to deal with just those Ubertanks. 17pdr is completely fine as it is with those soft-AT tools backing it up. Also you clearly underestimate power of crusader spam, so if in team game you somehow reach late game (which for my experience is like 1/8 games) two players can field enough units to deal with Tiger and even with roaster backing it up. If none of you went into Armor BG and your team decided to play without churchills there is also gurkhas/commandos at your disposal, so there is also a counter for axis elite/semi-elite troops.

As Wehr I'm not sure were you got your data/impression

I play all factions in all game-modes, lately focused on 1v1 and 2v2 since my teammates from 3v3 and 4v4 pool got lately bored from the game especially with so cool weekly "hotfixes". Played the game a lot from open beta, and after release 3v3 and 4v4 experience is based on playing in arranged team against whatever comes into matchmaking except for USF which I played solo in team games sometimes. There is where impression comes from.

lately I saw a lot of players building the Panther in 4vs4.

And please don't tell me they won. I will start to think we are playing different games... I played nearly 200 games as Wehr in 3v3 and 4v4 and Panther was useful 3 times with one time it really making a difference so much that it led to comeback. The time when it led to comeback main reason for it was it's performance against 76mm Sherman and fact that it is call-in, so I could afford to build a lot of them while saving resources because of staying in Pgren companie only.

Especially for Brits its a hard thing to deal with.

Panther has poor anti-infantry capability, so it is a piece of cake to foot guards and vetted AT-tommies. Brummbär is more difficult to deal with as UKF than Panther. Especially backed up by panther, but this is a story of faction design, where some factions have advantages over others on some stages of the game. But I can assure you with all respect that in competitive 3v3/4v4 brummbar+panther combo is not as difficult to deal with as 2xsapper+dingo+2/3 infantry section into early humber combo with vanilla wehrmacht early game based on grenadiers and HMG42 (which is great as damage dealer, but made of paper and suppression is garbage in this game overall)

While Brits have very good infantry and artillery options they struggle versus heavy armored targets. Ironically US is vice versa.

I dare to disagree. My take would be "While brits have superior early game advantage and are powerful all-rounder overall they struggle against heavily armored anti-infantry vehicles, cqc elite units and artillery fights in team games since those are RNG-based. Artillery and air-based call-ins also are powerful against brits since UKF has poor AA-platform and not very mobile in it's current meta playstyle. USF however has weaker early game and crowd-control/anti-emplacement tools are nearly non-existent, but has access to superior late-game tank destroyer, best mainline infantry and sniper backed up with decent support abilites from BGs and support centers."
Both factions do not have "struggles", they have hardly a challenge: UKF is simpler, but USF is more rewarding if you play your cards right.

And there it is: The german Ubertanks. On the other side Axis has always the choice to support heavy tanks with Marder III to penetrate the slow moving heavy brit tanks in addition to the strong pentration Tiger and Panther have by themselves. So this is maybe somehow the problem in late game tank fights which attracts the players to axis.

I still do not understand those people. They might get a Tiger or a panther in 1 out of 10 games and those units even rarely make a difference but they still go for them if what you say is true. I just cannot understand the point: they play not to win but to see a unit moving back and forth and shot/shout random barks and slurs. How you can balance game around these people?

If you see that a faction has higher win ratios in one game mode than in others, have a look what is differnt in the meta. Mostly it is timing of units or spam of units which are better in some game modes than in others. Having a 0 CP paratrooper squad (Wehr) or paratropper MG (US) is for example better on bigger multiplayer maps where you can dig in before enemy troops arrive than on small 1vs1 maps. Solution: Put 1CP before it. Small impact on 1vs1, big impact on 4vs4.

Currently if you move Fpios to 1 CP you will softly remove wehrmacht from 1v1 matchmaking. People will not play grenadiers in their current state in 1v1, only few chosen one superior gigamindsets and guru's of CoH franchise. Also I cannot understand why we should move 30.cal to 1 CP if HMGs in this game are as poor as they are. Paratrooped 30.cal still must be supported by riflemen or it is busted with first clowncar/stummel/sniper etc.

Another example: Having Kettenkrad upgrade and Opel Blitz which basically can double fuel income of a fuel point if you combine them for the whole team is idiotic if the other team can't do that (okay, there is one fiddly mechanic with weasel). Solution: Only the owner of Kettenkrad, Opel Blitz or Weasel gets the bonus fuel income (thats the way it was in CoH2 lately). The latter change has absolutely no impact on 1vs1 but a huge one on 4vs4. Easy and smart balancing.

They already made a ketten nerf so comm cables cannot be upgraded straight away. By going into ketten in teamgames you, of course, provide your team with extra resources, but
a) have 1 less timed combat unit fielded
b) get your flamer later
This drastically impacts your play since as I said before, you already are in big disadvantage in wehrs early game, that's why you do not see ketten built as often in "competitive" 3v3 and 4v4. About opel blitz... I hope you are aware that it takes pop cap and costs fuel? 25 fuel, if I remember correctly. A big investment for 1 more non-combatant unit. There must be a good reason to go for it.
While Weasel, which is mentioned by you, has:
a) very good early game MG for 30 munitions
b) shared veterancy
c) possibility to field HMG or mortar
d) slow self-repair for free, so you do not build engies to keep it going
e) 2 very useful vet abilities; Actually, so useful, that I've seen people fielding 2 of those for the sake of getting both vet abilities
If anything really needs a little bit of tuning, it is definitely not kettenkrad, with all due respect.

That is not how it works. As if everybody could easily reach Top100 just by playing a faction for three days. You will always be compared with guys playing the same faction. So if playing a faction is like a walk in the park because the faction is so op, there are maybe still threehundred players which are even better. You loose 2 out of 10, they loose 1 out of 10. Ergo they are higher ranked. Rank 300 is pretty good already.

It might be so, but playerbase currently is so low on numbers and even lower on experienced or skilled players, there is really no difficulty in reaching top 100, except 1v1 I guess. If you have a right arranged team in current state of CoH3 leaderboard there is no problem to reach this said top 100, there is no excuse for getting a top 300 as arranged team in 3 days, it is just misunderstanding of the game in general. No way he got only new players against him, and if it was the case, his shittalking like "oh, the X is so ez-pz to play" is irrelevant completely.

The guy in the video has a point. Playerbase is dwindling already, it takes forever to search for a 3vs3/4vs4 game as axis. At this pace the game will be dead soon.

No, he doesn't. There are very few people who play this game for ranks, more people play just "for fun", and if you want to play as allies you won't find something which is very different from CoH2 playstyle: "smoke and blob/get heck a lot of firepower" as USF or "blob and call-in a lot of arty" as UKF. As axis you get a "blob around undoctrinal opel-blitz from feuersturm or minibrummbar" as DAK or "blob your fallpios atound HMG and medic bunker/251". DAK released as semi-soviet t1+OKW faction and wehr got luftwaffe doctrine where you drop semi-mainline infantry from the sky. It is atleast something new, that's why people play axis more. There is literally no point to play allies except for rank and not a lot of ppl care about that. Also should I mention that even when pathfinder+scott meta as USF was found by majority of players in CoH2 axis still had a majority of players playing while it was a pure suffering for most of them?
This guy on a video is a "evil wehraboo" (or allies fanboy, idk how to call these ppl) who is incompetent in a game he was playing and tries to sound edgy with all modern slangy words like "copium" just to empower his poor argumentation. If I would use his explanational style, I would call him an "unskilled moron". Such ppl should not be taken seriously in any discussion.

More interesting is the winrate of the Top100 to Top200, because there it starts to really split up. It would be interesting to see the average winratio of all that players, but I give you a direction. If you compare players that have a winratio of 90% or more on the fourth page of leaderboards (Top150-200) for 4vs4, you will see this:

DAK: 11 players wih 90% or more, three of them having 100%
Wehrmacht: 8 players with 90% or more, two of them having 100%
British: 4 players with 90% or more, highest winratio is 93%
US: 3 players with 90% or more, hioghest winratio is 92%

This data may have changed as you read it, but it should be still similar.

This is just a tendency with low number of games overall, but I fear it is part of the dwindling playerbase.

This is a very difficult data to use since you don't have ratings for arranged teams and solo players for CoH3. Most of people who are playing 3v3 and 4v4 "seriously" to get ranks don't go solo in those gamemodes and matchmaking is so poor that in most of times your semi-arranged or fully-arranged team of top10-top50 players gets matched up against 1-2 top100 players and last are top1000+ which means autowin for arranged team.
In my opinion people who are really should be listened to regarding balance are those people who reached high ranks and 1v1 should be prioritized over team-base gamemodes since team-based modes are more forgivable.
Things which are heard by me from such group do not include cry like "hammer axis/allies to the ground" but address overtuned and underperforming units. I can light up 10 most common takes I've heard if required.

After playing axis for only 3 days.

I don't play this game, don't care about arguing about it, but if you're going to use a quote from the video you should probably put it in the context that it was delivered in.

You prorably can play 10 games in 3 days.
If you play for 3 days and say that it was "extremely easy" and you haven't reach top 100, you either played against lowranked people (so in that case your opinion is invalid) or you lost against normal players and because of that stayed at 300-400
In either case, there is no need to add extra to the quote.

Axis are way to strong right now,any further nerfs to allies will likely kill the player base

On what basis axis are "too strong" and in which game mode?

Scott and Hummel (251 upgrade) - AoE on barrage is pretty pathetic.

Barrage AoE is fine, this is not CoH2, there is no need for wiping and entire squad with 1 barrage.
Stummel needs quicker upgrade time and better barrage range. Vet1 ability should not target vehicles only, it should be targeted on anything.
Scott needs the same, lower CP requirement and better range for barrage ability. Also it should lose it's ability to fire on the move so it will not rush enemy positions while ordered to barrage or smoke and WP shell barrage at vet1 should be changed into single shell.

British AA Truck - pathetic damage on a fragile platform. Not sure if it's even intended for offensive use with Humber being a thing but compared to US Quad it's trash. Maybe add suppression mechanism?

Supression is weak in CoH3, it needs damage and a little bit more HP, as well decreased muni cost.

Easy 8 - Overpriced when penetration is barely better than 76MM Sherman. Needs cost reduction so you can actually afford the damn thing without saving up Tiger-levels of resources for a marginally better medium tank.

Riflemen away from call in, from 8 CP to 6, cost to 480 mp and 130 fuel. Same to Panther btw.

Bulldozer Sherman - Needs armor buff IMO - has same armor as stock sherman so it gets eaten up by shreks and PAKs making it unusable as a AI specialist with an unimpressive auto fire range. I never see them.

Not only armor buff, also HP buff. Armor is relatively useless at that timing of the game.

221 - I think I've seen 1 ever built against me? Probably a timing issue/ AT rifle spam issue.

Imo this armored car should go into T1, for the same cost. Then timing would be better.
But actually, built it couple of times and if opponent was going for sniper rifles instead of AT upgrade it performed decently.

DAK Flak HT - Not sure I want to say "certainly" needs buffed as I suspect it doesn't see play because of how overtuned 8 Rad is but it could maybe use some love if they don't revert the cost increase to Fire Support elements.

I disagree that 8 rad is overtuned. Wehr's 8rad even underperforms. Problem of flak HT is it's bad timing, poor armor and high investment into t1. I few times witnessed myself that british blob without AT rifles just smashed FlakHT by staying in green cover and shooting. It is very weak against any kind of fire.

Grant Tank - Performance is pretty good but maybe slightly overcosted. I'd maybe lower the teching cost slightly but nothing too crazy.

Perfectly fine tank just overshadowed by cheaper and more effective crusader.

Edit, add LMG Commandos (Brits) - The last patch buffed them to roughly Stostruppen levels of DPS as far as I can tell but they have negative utility as an expensive 4 man doctrinal unit with Bren. Why would you EVER get them when you can have Bren section with snares or LMG Gurka's which are 6 men, have grenades, and a good ability as a supposed to a piddly suppression ability that might mildly inconvenience a squad momentarily. They definitely need some kind of utility added when every other doctrinal/elite unit is loaded to the gills with abilities.

Problem of bren commandos is that they are fine, just overshadowed, like StoBtruppen. StoBtruppen, regular and STG ones are overshadowed by cheaper jaegers and pgrens, those squads also have more HP in total and come earlier. Gurkhas and tommies need to be toned down, because they are overperforming, just like jaegershreks. Then elite infantry will get it's role when mainlines and semi-mainlines will not be as strong as they are now.

General DAK Fine-tuning- I think it's worth acknowledging that DAK needs some improvement to their early game and to make Armor Reserves more accessible without making DAK too strong at all stages of the game. I'll admit I have no clue how to do that but probably something along the lines of increasing baseline Panzergren performance but toning down Combat Bonus and toning down Armory upgrades so that late game isn't completely bananas - stuff like Tiger can't capture points with Rapid Advance (tiger is already super strong without also yolo capping).

About DAK early game:
Make pgrens 280 mp, make 250 260 mp and increase its frontal armor a bit. Give it shared vet or give it automatically vet1 after armory upgrade and make armory upgrade instantly available. Then DAK early game would be good without overtuning anything.
About rapid advance: it just should not affect stug IIID, Carro M13/40, and Tiger, maybe also PIII. Anything else is annoying, but fine.

And also, why you didn't add Centaur medium tank? This tank is not even a meme.
