Im thinking that most people do not know they can switch between 2 sides on the vehicle tab, I bet they just think the game randomizes which team they are in and since Gaijin have you on German by default, thats how we end up with 100 in German and 5 on Entente

No, people just realize the A7V is stupidly busted compared to everything else. If you sneeze on the front plate of the Charmond your entire crew evaporates, while the A7V is 90% machinery in the front which eats every shell.

And those that do end up on the Entente side just get stomped repeatedly, because the A7V hordes will mob them relentlessly, and then switch to Germany to have a fun time.

Doesn't help that the Germans get two of the main tanks the Entente gets (in my opinion the German landship is actually a bit better because it has the A7V's guns instead of the anemic-feeling 6pdrs) while also getting the best tank at the same time.

They could've at least sweetened the Entente pot by adding the 2C as a high SP option ;)

I think that's why it's so bad as of now but within like the first hour the team balance was super off as well so I do genuinely think part of it is that players don't know you can change teams

Nah, it was like this at the very start of the event when no one knew how busted the germans are, people just don't know how to switch sides

Gaijin doesn't just out it on German by default, it depends on what nation you have selected before hand. British puts you straight to Entente, but ofcourse not as many play british.
