But I think it's worth pointing out that I would argue that "Soviets v Ostheer" is an entirely different game than "USF v OKW" or any matchup involving the Brits.
I agree with everything you said and especially the last part. Soviets V Ost is an enjoyable and fair match up, even when considering how cheese from both sides can drag that down. Ost vs USF and UKF isn´t really fun or fair, since USF dominates Ost and UKF can get raped early game by Ost but Ost can get raped mid and late game by UKF. OKW isn´t really that much of a bright star vs any of the allied factions. It suffers vs maxim spam, if suffers to USF rifle spam as it has no early supression platform, and it sufers vs UKF since it can´t do anything against the superior and spammy indirect on map and off map fire from the UKF. Doesn't mean OKW has no cheese, but far less strong than UKF or USF.
