Relic: No Japanese faction in CoH2

So suddenly from all the realism, design, doctrinal style etc.. reasons it comes down to the only argument that they just don't appeal to you.

No, the reasoning is that their ground forces did not have the strength to go toe-to-toe with the Soviet Union or the United States. They were a Naval power and an Air power, but they did not do armoured warfare well. In CoH2 they could have an early-game, and a weakened mid-game, but they would have zero late-game. How would they face off against E8's, 85mm's, let alone IS-2's?

In real life yes. In a video game, there a plenty of ways to make it work.

Nah, you just need a lot of historical fiction to make them work.

If you wanted Italy or Japan you would basically have to give them all of their prototype units that never saw mass production, and even then they would still struggle and would need major boost to stay competitive. Also they would have a very hard time creating doctrines for them.

Hey, good question, and I think I can be pretty definitive that we won't see the Imperial Japanese Army make an appearance in COH2.

To clarify: I have never seen "Japs", or "John Jap", or "Nips" as racial slurs. It is the equivalent of "Tommy/Tommies" or "Jerries".

"Japs" is short for Japanese; " Nips" is short for "Nipponese"

the issue of lack of armored Japanese who worked in World War II to put in the game, they can simply by the prototypes that have been developed by the Japanese, despite never act in war, were decent vehicles yes, and it would be very pleasant to see them in COH. the own comet of the British never served in World War II, but it is in the game!

and "Paki" is short for Pakistani. Being a shorter version doesn't mean it isn't a racial slur. "Chink" is a shorter form of Chinese.
