Ive basically been playing mostly 4v4 randoms with all factions since the patch. I think there are elo readjustments going on b/c axis have had an easier time locking down victories and making comebacks last patch with the JT/elephants. Axis elo is certainly going down b/c they won more last patch in my experience.
This is kinda how i feel about the balance changes
Ostheer seems slightly better, primarily b/c you can have t3(stugs) and t4, panthers seem fine but their popcap is brutal and now jacksons can kill them. Easier time vs Fireflies though. Still you have more pop b/c of gren and pak changes
OKW seems moderately worse. Last patch you built volks to kill infantry midgame but they are worse now, the lack of a durable and reliable AI tank hurts a lot. (b/c kt was nerfed and is inaccessible mid game). You also need tank destroyers b/c raketens are bad late so its not like you can go for AI tanks. Commanders can do a lot more though. Luftwaffe and fuerstorm offer a lot more than most docs did last patch where i didn't pic a doc half the time and the other half i was like ok its late time to pick breakthrough.
USF seems alot better due to kubel changes and a getting unit that is useful lategame(jackson very strong)
Last patch i basically spammed fuel caches and tried to be useful, now it feels like i can actually have a lategame outside of calliopes. I was ranked highest with usf last patch and it seemed like my elo was so low i would still have ace teammates. Opposite was generally true for axis (had higher ranks poorer teammates or better opponents)
Soviets can do alot more things which makes it a bit of a guessing game getting your first few units out but they aren't overpowering at the start, they are problematic late game b/c of Katushas which weren't changed at all. PTRS's make life hard so p4s and LVs are not recommended.
Brits are by my account the most nerfed faction this patch, They seem significantly harder than OKW now as you must rely on teammates for indirect fire to beat mgs and camping for the most part. Crocs no longer instamurder everything. i'm probably least qualified with them though
So far overall Im winning more as soviets, more as USF, and slightly less as OKW, and more as Ostheer. Idk the difference for brits but they seem most difficult to play.
