No one is playing Axis, and it's a shame.

***
But a truce to this mournful story
For death is a distant friend
So here's to a life of glory
And a laurel to crown each end

There's no balancing...nor commemorative medals for playing on both sides...there's literally no reason to go over to Axis unless you have a...liking...of that side or something like that.
It's not like WG/Persha's first time doing events like this, and they managed to screw it up magnificently...

WoWP makes a great jousting game...especially with the 262 and people busy in furballs...
I am deaf, silent, and fly with unrealistic controls. Do not count on me to carry - my back's already broken from overweight.

Wow, just wow. You, sir, have my undying admiration and respect.
I trotted out in my Me110c once, and that was enough for me. I figured I'd try for a few assists at least, but if nobody can bring an Allied plane down at all, you won't get any. By the end of the battle, I was wishing WoP had put in landing mechanics so I could put in at the nearest Allied airbase to surrender.

It's a bit of a snowball effect. There are more Allied planes, so they have a higher number of players. Because of this, they get more wins while playing vs bots. Since they get double rewards for it, people that were on the losing side switch to allies, making it even more likely for Axis to lose the next time around. Personally I've been playing Axis simply because I got tired of obliterating the bots every game

When it started I was getting my rear handed to me badly by much better pilots.
While the wins are not coming in great frequency, it has made me play better overall, so there's that.

I have flown Allies every single day for at least 2-2.5 hours which is all it takes for 4 crates and victory. It has been so much fun and very productive too because I am only playing stock planes and planes I am grinding. I have grinded up to tier 8 and 9 in two USA lines. I am starting on the second USA multirole line tonight and hope to have it to tier 9 before Albion is over. Because you are smashing BOTS you can grind each plane stock and only unlock the upgrades to the next plane nor do you need equipment or consumables.
If any of you have played WOWS's, Albion has been just like WOWS COOP mode where all players play against all BOTS but with Albion it is BOTS and Players VS all BOTS.
Also, you don't need to sit there and complete every minute of every battle because after the first 2 minutes the game is usually already over, but you can't go AFK or you don't get the mission points (so I have heard, lol) so I will put my plane in orbit and go do things around the house for 2-4 mins and then go click twice and wait another minute for the start of the next game so every game you have 4-5 minutes to kill to do other things which is nice so you get creds, you get loot, you grind planes you don't like which is what i am doing and you get a lot of stuff done around the house. I really look forward to 6pm every night and I will be really sad when Albion is over.

Exactly my thoughts on the Mustangs... Pretty sure I flew a battle or two with you earlier today...

Though to be honest some planes are horrible to fly when stock. Out the top of my head I can say the stock Ju 87 G has very little to do as a GAA with only 20mm cannons and no ordnance, and the Me 265 & 329 don't work without bombs.

It's tricky to get used to, but it stands its ground as a GAA just fine . That said, I would suggest saving some free xp to get the bombs immediately. Flying it without the bombs is not really fun

Hey MArs
l tried Axis 2nd day we won one game in 3 hrs.
Could have something to do with it....
That's his point... NOBODY is playing for Axis because they know everyone else is going to play for Allies - they want 100% win rates by stomping bots and the occasional player that goes against the grain. If there's guys running tier 9-10 GA for allies on one side vs a single guy flying a fighter for axis on the other, they're going to win every time. Hence the participation trophy reference. They're not actually winning, just gaming the system.
Cheers!
