If they finally introduce an in game currency...

Do I FINALLY get the pre-order bonus I had advertised to me when I purchased the original game?

I've been waiting so long!

_{Brits will be what brings me back to playing though. Balance be damned, the tommies need to start kicking some wehraboo ass.}

If you had problems with Ranger blobs then you were doing it wrong...

A timely reminder of the rose-tinted spectacles often worn when discussing vCoH. It was as blob-ridden as CoH2. PzGren G43 blobs, zombie gren shrek blobs, ranger zook blobs, the entire Brit faction blobs...

I just want a Japanese faction more than anything. If whatever new Axis faction that comes with the hypothetical British one is German AGAIN, I'm going to cry.

I´m totally against that.

1) Russians, Germans aswell as US forces have a connection to the European battlefields. It doesn´t look totally ridiculous to see Americans on Semoiski. It´s still shit but not as far off as seeing the Japanese invading a French or Belgian village.

2) What competent land army was there fighting for the Axis side other than the Germans? The Italians? Pretty much any of their actions was a failure and the Germans had to come to the rescue. By the time the game is set they had switched sides and what remained was a puppet state in the north.

The Finnish? They pretty much fought their own war up in the north. Hungarians, Romanians etc.? Hardly enough to make a whole faction.

What remains are the Japanese, but I prefer seeing Hetzers, Jagdpanthers, Nebelwerfers fighting IS-2s rather than a Chi-Ha tank. The heaviest the Japanese could field would be a Chi-Nu, which is around the strength of a Panzer IV (early, 50mm armor).

3) Still lots and lots of stuff not included for the Germans.

Rangers really hurt your manpower upkeep if you had even 2 squads, 3 ground it to a halt. So you only had to keep bleeding their MP and before long they would be out of the game.

Tigers and 88s vs M3 Lees and stuarts.

Exactly what the game needs. Exactly new and refreshing power balance that doesn't look exactly like USF vs OKW matchup.
