Soviets are easier in 1v1 than Ostheer/OKW. It's all about maxim or m3/flamers with guards or shocks. You can rely on a lot of cheese/abuse tactics at mid-high level matches. Plus their call ins are superior (ISU, IS2, t34/85... ).
Ostheer is a harder faction overall. Although most players rely on the broken strategy of only getting tigers, if players don't choose this path it's much harder.
I like spamming Conscripts so for me OKW is easier because SturmPios rape early on
Gren spam to LMG's to Panzer 4's f***s everything up....only problem I have is keeping Grens(infantry in general) alive against Riflemen,those guys need a nerf in their long range DPS
Good changes on the german super soldiers...bad change on PanzerGrens...
No change on early US Riflemen that outclass Grens?or early Scout Car?...it's almost as bad as the Soviet M3....back to mg spam I guess
I think the Western Fronts Armies broke the balance,it just should've been USA vs OKW....as Ostheer,I can't do anything against Riflemen+Scout Car....and as Soviets,the Elite German Infantry rape everything I throw at them ....oh and yesterday,a Jadgpanzer took 2 or 3 shots from a T34 in the a** and the shots deflected,is this normal??
