I played quite a few games about 6 hours ago.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

IMO yes, there are less EF ppl. Your best (and tbh probably only) chance is to friend a bunch of EF players and hope they are online the times u r online and want to play PvP

Defiantly less people. Probably due to the lack significant  updates added to the game

Most of the active players are balancers, and they're usually just playing on the next game version (beta) or posting in the internal balance section.  Other frequent players have either rage quit or play less due to RL / other games.

Other probable reasons could be because of CoH2, which will feature the Russians, leaving EF nothing really special to compete with, and also because the Ostheer still isn't out yet after all this time.

Yeah, EF is pretty much dead. The competetive players are either part of balance team or are waiting for OH.

My friends and I have alot of fun LAN'ing EF, the only drawback is with the IS2 having some issues recently the russians lost some late game punch. Fingers crossed for a patch soon

I'm up for a game now and then.

I just think its easier to communicate, ask for a match when using a different channel then coh itself to arrange matches.
Also planning a game days before it actually takes place is difficult because there are so many things that can get between it..

Thats why compstomping or just playing with friends is a better solution..

I would suggest, share some other contact details and ask around when you want a game.
I'm sure someone will be up for it ;)

When I'm at home and up for a game, I'm always on skype.
So thats an easy way to contact me.
My skype name is mattias0123.

Why is Ostheer taking so long? i understand its all volunteer work but so are Mods like Blitzkrieg,  Europe in ruins, Modern Combat. And it seems like they are always coming out with huge updates with units and vehicles Ive never heard even of before.

Because just adding units is easy and the devs could pump out hundreds of them if that was wanted. Actually forming a decent faction that is unique (in a game with 5/6 factions already) and plays well is something else entirely. The goal is to create a use for every unit and distinguish it from other units already in the game, not spam a million units for one job.

And also I believe the devs dont want another scenario where they release a faction that is unbalanced and everyone starts bitching again. Thats not my opinion, its just what I've observed
