They are a good faction for playing in larger games, especially when it is supported by the Ostheer, so you can use them as support for your real killer super eliete infantry and armor. You loose on HQ halftrack and you're screwed. The Oberkomando is really strong, but it is a really really hard fation to play as, and you have to preserve everything. The Western Front Armies Factions are harder to play as in my opinion. If you enjoy having lots of unit versatility + a heavy infantry focus on your army you would probably enjoy this faction. Combined arms are the answer to this however such as Sherman + AT gun or bazookas + M36. Even their best call in tanks (Easy 8's) are barely better than a panzer IV. The real weakness in the USF lies in the glaring mediocrity of their tanks in tank vs tank battles. Enemy spamming infantry? Get grenades and BAR's. Their standard riflemen can be equipped to fight just about any foe. For example their machine guns also beat light armor in addition to infantry. They have the best early game potential and every unit in their army can fill multiple roles. In the hands of a skilled player on the other hand they are probably the best faction IMO. in the hands of someone that has no idea what they are doing they are easy to beat.
Soviets are all about having the right units in the right places working in unison. Have by far the best call in units in the game making commander choice more important for them than any other faction. Soviet Union Red Army - Core units typically more durable yet less effective in terms of damage than axis counterparts. Knowing when to fight and when to retreat is crucial to playing them. While their units are superior to most of their Ostheer counterparts, they cost a lot more to make (on top of the faction not being able to make resource caps making ammo and gas even more scarce) meaning every loss can be devastating. Oberkommando West - Similar to Ostheer but has more expensive units armed with advanced, deadly Wargear. Have the most options in terms of builds and can be played in basically limitless different ways. Ostheer - Simple small yet elite core unit's. A brief summary of the factions would be. Soviets are the hardest to play if you are not used to a lot of micro. It is the most balanced and straight forward of all the factions in the game. Ostheer (Wehrmacht) is by far the best faction to begin with.
