when i play in MP it seems as the entente i can never ever push,even with good generals and supply even into the spring of 1915 german units are still able to kill my corps with no level 1 arty and i can even get a 3/1 when attacking am i doing something wrong?

There is no intrinsic difference between Central Powers and the Entente armies. Their combat effectiveness depends on the same variables on both sides: leadership, experience, morale, supply, terrain, entrenchment and strength. I suggest you watch a WW1 game on You Tube to see how other players handle the Entente. For example, Old Crow just won a match playing the Entente against Tanaka which you can watch in full on his YT channel "Old Crow Balthazor's Strategic Arcana".

The entente has to be patient. Offensives cost too much MPPs.

In 1914-15 you need to keep up or pass the CP in techs. trench warfare and the economic techs are as important or more so than the artillery.

I normally will launch very limited counteroffensives in 1914-15 to pick off over extended CP forces. If the west is quiet an offensive against the turks is good, Otherwise its defense.

Also you need to pay close attention to supply and morale.

Thanks for the feed back! il have to look more closely I guess and be more patient!

What is your units readiness compared to the enemy?
If the gap is big despite good HQ/supply on your side the reason is probably high enemy HQ xp.
Also Germans start with slightly better HQs, techs and unit xp, so it is perfectly normal that they still have something of an edge in spring 15. Early on the Entente usually can't outfight the Germans but has to outlast them with their stronger economy.

Definitely check it out! OCB plays the Entente very well!
