My favorite faction but I feel like lately they have been pretty weak. Priest is almost impossible to counter vs a competent player and Pershing is also strong if used correctly.īrits: Meh. Not as much diversity as the soviets but makes up for it with the best mainline infantry in the game as well as the best TD (Jackson). USF: Another extremely strong faction (can't decide if Soviets or USF is strongest atm). Can often bully other factions in the early game and snowball to a victory but is also extremely vulnerable to certain strategies like mg spam and snipers. Not as punishing when you make a mistake so in many cases ends up being stronger.

OKW: Not as much potential as ostheer but also requires nowhere near as much micro. I think ostheer is probably the faction that gets punished most for mistakes and in many cases 1 mistake can cost you the game. I find myself struggling to do well, especially against late game allied infantry/TD and arty. They remind me of terran in sc2 in that they are extremely strong if used correctly but all but the best players aren't really able to use them to their full potential. Ostheer: Potentially very strong but also very hard to use. Not as punishing for mistakes with 6 man squads and very powerful lategame abilities and artillery/kats. Many viable strategies with cons, t1, t2, or any combination thereof. Soviets: Extremely strong (potentially strongest faction) when used correctly and also relatively easy to play. What do you guys think the strongest faction is at the moment? I am primarily a 2v2 player (~rank 50 currently with Brits and USF) although I will admit lately my axis ranks have been struggling.
