Vote no because it's the idiot feel memory acceptance who propose this.

Well, why not? Back in CoH1, when there was a Volkswagen Typ 166 (Schwimmwagen). I always thought - hey, there is a river but I can't swim across it in a floating car. It may not be an island system, but rivers or individual islands with valuable resources to get on to which you can either build a new bridge, or cross on amphibious transport or paratroopers.

All we need is the addition of Italy and the African front.

In a game about unit preservation, why include the Japanese? They have an even worse reputation than the Soviets!

They also couldn't really match other modern armies on land. They will be even more special snowflake-y than OKW if you count their experimental units (which were still worse compared to other nations for the most part) that never saw combat. Their army, navy, and airforce were all eventually outclassed by the Americans, so what would their strength even be?

Finally, I don't think naval would translate well into CoH. Does anyone else like swimming Sturmtigers that can hit half the map? Because that's exactly what a battleship might be. That sounds unfun to play against - howitizers are frustrating enough.

Now, if it was China vs Japan, that would be a much more interesting matchup.

The river system has the right to be in the game. Many do not realize but forcing rivers was a huge part and problem in WW2. What can we say, the Allies organized three airborne operations to preserve bridges or cross the river (partly Overlord operation, Market Garden, Varsity). On the Eastern Front, there was one airborne operation to cross the river - the Dnieper airborne operation and one canceled - an airborne operation to cross the Danube. There may be more valuable resources or a better position across the river.

while that may all be true, historical significance doesn't automatically translate into good gameplay elements. for example, there are already a couple of maps with an overabundance of choke points in the form of bridges in the game, and i guess you'd agree those are not exactly fun to play on (outside of compstomps maybe).
