Personally I don't think ti's a problem. I jump into any game as axis or allies and there ends up being more axis openings than allied for me.
It's just that if you only play one side you're only ever waiting for the other side, so it can skew your perception.

imho, real newbs should not start as axis.. the allied army is easier to start with in EiR I dont say theres a difference in how effective both can be used, i just feel like the allies are easier to start with / axis are slightly more difficult in to begin with because you need more micro management For example take just the different types of infantry you can have as any axis player As allied you have max. 2 choices (as armored player no choice there, just the upgrades) Any axis player has 3 types of infantry, with upgrade choices which again greatly change the role of the unit on the field (except for kch, but those can also be wasted in seconds as they have no fireup) well anyways, i think im off topic here, sorry

well instanly most "newbs" start as axis as all the recruitment vids show people making companys with axis i have no problem with this but i'm just tired of asking a newb what side he plays and always saying axis i mean i can probably guess what side they play without asking

Your font glow is retarded, and Axis do have anti-suppression abilities. Assault grenades, inspired assault, for the fatherland. Stuff like that.

i think its also a time zone thing aswell cross. a lot of the late night players all play axis, and all the new ones joining at that time are on allied side. Sad ... I still play, but I go on much higher losing streaks

I've been with the community about 2 weeks now and I'm an allied player. I love playing as allies. Honestly its all in how you structure your company that will determine if your squads can hold out in a fight. I think the mod is very well balanced.
My overall win / loss ratio is not good, out of 12 games i've won 3. However thats part of the learning process. You find your mistakes and adjust.
Part of my mistake was I was buying way too many rangers with add-ons. Anything higher than 3 or 4 rangers fully loaded puts a severe handicap on the rest of your resources. You won't be able to buy support teams or upgrade your infantry. I feel that I'm getting use to properly balancing the comapny with enough AT and Suppression units to make an effective push against an opponent.

Also, I lost a game due to not enough anti-infantry units, so airborne get double damage at each vet level.
More changes to come.

to your second question, in fact thats one thing that made the germany army so powerfull in ww2, besides the technological advantage they considered themselves to be unbeatable and fought that way, with no doubts whatsoever that they would win. And they did just win until 1942, mainly also because the ww2 commanders and soldiers combat experience in this kind of warfare was only on german side. Even when those countrys not overrun in the first years modernized their armies and production to keep up / overpower the axis, they still had to figure out how to use the stuff really effectively The motivation in the german troops that 1) where in the war since the beginning and had overrun several countries 2) where completely influenced by and believers of the whole national-socialistic propaganda and even better equipped than the normal german troops was very high until '42-43 and for the letter until the end.

I actually agree with the notion that it seems harder for newbies to get the hang of allies when they come here. The reason for that is almost always the difficulties that new players have in taking out fixed positions, such as HMG and mortar strongholds. With the strength of the MG42 and the allied dependency on riflemen, most newbies end up losing the bulk of their troops through this.

Basically, i think it's rather logical that you don't walk up to a fixed MG position... I had my fair share of errors, true, but you do it once, you don't go around doing it twice or more right?
