Soviets, Cause Partisans Rock

Brits, if played right, can be a awesome fraction. They just have to take away the sandbags and add more treads and boots.

PE. Though fun to play with, I don't like them personally. They are way to serious, anyway.
The Russians think there sooo tough, wait till the Ostheer comes...

I like PE best. They are the most fragile of factions, but have the greatest potential strength. The Tech system is structured to provide the widest array of counters with the least amount of buildings. The lack of a good MBT is the only drawback, but then I'm an armor fanboy. @GoGo: I like the PE vet system too.

The Sovs are the best designed faction IMHO. THe faction especially benefits by not being restricted to the Sainted status of vCoH factions. Problems can be fixed and innovative features tried out.

WM is my least favorite faction. Primarily I dislike the fact that it was designed to be an AI faction with all the little buffs needed to make the AI viable against Humans. I hate the concept of buying vet.

1) Brits, I find them funny, though they have a lot of critical weaknesses.
2) Ami, Rangers lead the way!
3) Wehr, it's ugly and OP (why doesn't Ami have a bloody MG in their barracks everyone knows MG .30 cal is an infantry man's weapon!)
OIY! Get your filthy hands off the Maus!

I like Wehr, US and Soviets equally.
I somewhat like PE but hate a few of their design flaws that cause critical weaknesses.
I like Brits least of all, while still liking them a little. They're just not as fun to play as/against as the others.

Overall, I pretty much like all factions and don't groan when I play as/against any of them.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

1. Wehrmacht (I got really attached to them, plus I love their variety and strong armor. And go Knights!) 
2. Soviets (Of course!)
3. Americans (Bad starting experience with them, never understood their strategy)

Brits of course. ;D The only fraction that undertands that heavy tanks should be ugly - Churchills are so ugly they shock Germans.  And those who wont retreat are eaten alive by the Churchills jaws of freedom (mine plow). 8)
The emplacements are great. They are too weak to spammed but they can influence the battlefield greatly at certain situations.
Radio triangulation guided artillery is great. The whole operation of placing those radio detectors needs some planning and 2 quads of expensive infantry at the oposite ends of the map... but it pays of when you welcome those sneack attackers with a preplanned defense.

The worst fraction is the Wehrmacht. Insanely cheap Pios, Camping MGs, camping PAKs, camping bunker strategy with camping shreck AT infantry that can take on most normal infantry ingame, OP call-in artillery, OP camo x2 Shreck squads. I also hate that Ostwinds are so powerfull and cost same fuel as T-17. With all those PAKs and Shrecks on the field theres no reason of building a PzIV instead of an Ostwind. The only really fun units are Volks and T3 units (not Gwagons).

Ohh tough question.

I enjoy playing all of the factions for different reasons.

1. probably the soviets, apart from being able to hold their own with non-doctrinal units they have a very interesting way of playing, plus having an allied armour piece that can go in a slugging match head on with German armour is a nice change. (bad micro i know :P)

2. Panzer Elite oddly enough. I like the fact it's a challenge to play as them, i really need to think carefully how i use them and the stg 44s are heavenly against soviet inf. :)

the other three factions are okayish but i have to confess i struggle as US, without using doctrine units they're tricky to play as i find but idk.
Wehrmacht for me are foolproof some straightforward strategies for them right from the start, but perhaps a little..drab?

Vanilla brits obviously are horrible. the adapted RMC reward from this mod actually makes the brits playable, plus radio triangulation is such a huge advantage in the right area. still interesting to play as in their own right and i appreciate the deviation from the norm of using trucks instead of buildings for base production. even if it is a little flawed.

the american faction is actually the easiest to play with and the learning curve is easy to grasp but winning with them is very difficult  ;)

1- Wehrmacht all the way. The infantry of that faction has so many characters! We got the oldfuks Volksgrenadier, the hard though grenadier and the samurajs of the third reich knight cross holders? XD

2- PE. I really do love PE, but Iam more of a support player so I let the other player be PE and I back him up :3

3- SU. Super tanks, Super infantry, Super artilleri. Not fun fun fun fun.

My English is kind of useless. But that because Iam swedish Wooohoooj! ;3

1: PE or Wher - PE units say interesting things in the rain ^^. Also I like the concept of how they work(fast + mobile) and their fallschirmjagers. I also like Wher tanks and doctrines.

2: Soviets - For some reason I like conscripts. If you micro them well they're fine IMO. Also like sniper ace.

3: PE or British - I dont like having to deal with enemy PG spam and playing vs. Brit can be annoying sometimes.

First post :-)

1) PE - Good defenses (Luftwaffe Doctrine) and if i wanna play offense they fit the role again very nicely. Very versatile faction

2) Russians/ Wehr - Russian tanks rock and alot of choices to make, Wehr veterancy rocks and again very good mixture of units

3) Americans - I dont like infantry that much, their tanks are cookie cutters and their defense is not that great either. Also their Fuel-usage is really high compared to what you get back for it....

Even the brits got imo better tanks than US (not counting persing).. Firefly (with a spotter very deadly). Cromwell compares to Sherman for me (non upgraded). And the reward tank wich you can replace the firefly with is also quite sturdy.

1. Ostheer, coz I partially designed them :3
2. Americans, coz they are the first faction I really played (CoH 1.0!), and got to over rank 10 with. The only faction I consider myself being good at (or at least used to be).
3. Brit (none-RMC), coz gamestyle just don't fit me.

Edit:
Added reasons to 2 and 3.
