You guys are 100% wrong about the current balance right now.  I am shocked to see so many allied fanboys lacking objectivity.  Now before you accuse me of being an axis fanboy, I'm currently ranked 11th in Allied 3v3 (name = Troll Master Water Mage, and I know the name is stupid, it was intentional).  The best I have ever been on the axis side was 37th, and that was by playing our asses off.  We easily got to rank #11 today without working too hard.  
I agree with Alex on a lot of what he says.  Ohme is wrong on a number of things:  yes, in an ideal world, the Jagdtiger and the elephants do sync extremely well with the other axis teammates.  But going for a jagdtiger is a massive opportunity cost, and is prohibitively expensive.  The strategy to beat axis is quite simple:  
-  aggressive infantry play supported by mgs/at guns/snipers in order to decap territory
 
-  early light vehicles to maintain advantage or go straight to medium armor
 
-  infantry screen and armor pushes, allowing further decapping 
 
-  indirect fire or offmap fire on OKW HQs 
 
-  medium tank armada swarms heavy tanks with infantry blobs and furthermore supported by IS2s or t-34/85s
 
I prefer allies at the moment, and I fear that's because they're so damn powerful.  M1919s, either on rifles or Airborne, are awesome.  T34/85s with marked target, jacksons, IS2s, guards, reliable mines, the list goes on.
