It's really limited and doesn't work well with other regions which tend to be bigger sales areas. It's underused due to the balance and content issues. There's also an issue of the synergy with other forces. People complained about needing the heavy micro infantry horde of the Russians in CoH2 and they at least had some good armoured units.

A system to make different loadouts for the faction and according to the theatre (Mediterranea, Africa, pacific).īut this is just my personal dream coh, which is highly unrealistic because of the risks involved with maintaining a broad player base across all factions and building such a system.

Then add a faction and theatre-based matchmaking system on top and you eliminate stupid setups like Japanese with germans fighting USA and soviets (for example) which would make the need to balance these combinations irrelevant.

Don't have to be the case, a Japanese faction could be very asymmetrical designed compared to the other factions and a pacific theatre would be fresh and is very underused in rts games.
