@Tank2042Man Yep, the xbox one / ps4 population is healthier, and hasn't had the problems as bad until recently.
I had to switch to playing xbox one version because it was so hard to find games crossplay on series X.
In regards to player numbers in Australia / smaller regions; apart from announcements, game design choices and so forth affecting player numbers, I think a lot of it on next gen / PC has to do with the number of players needed to start for 128 player servers with match making.
For 64 players I think you only need 16 players to start the game (or maybe even less?). Whereas for 128 players, I think you need 32 players.
Now this shouldn't be an issue if there was a healthy player population.
However, if there are only a couple hundred players in a region or even less, and most of the players are already in an existing server, then there are simply not enough players to start a new game until another server closes and players are transferred, and the matchmaking system seems pretty stuffed in regards to transferring players to fill up existing lobbies that don't have enough players to start.
So if your on next gen in Aus, you may get lucky and get into a server, or you could be in for an infinite wait.
If there was a server browser for AoW it would solve most of these issues.

Yes a server browser definitely would help and it's something we have been pushing for on several threads like these :
.DICE help all players who cannot play / enjoy BF2042 due to MM - Answer HQ (ea.com)
DICE add a Server Browser / Persistent Servers to AOW - Answer HQ
Please add your weight to these threads daily and together we will try and get a solution asap.
