[Feature] British Forces and an In-Game Encyclopedia

With the upcoming British forces we're seeing 3D models being released through Sketchfab. As so many players will be coming into the game, there is greater need than ever for in-game stats and a unit encyclopedia where these stats are easily accessed; wherein the 3D models would also be represented.

One of the biggest issues with COH2 has been holding on to the player base. Having unit stats available in-game would go a long way in retaining players. How many of us would have spent hours creating strategies in games such as Civilization, Total War, or Starcraft were it not for their great menus and encyclopedias? In that same vein, how many DOTA 2 players would have lost interest were it not for the great tool tip system in place?

I see this lacking feature as something that could not only make new players more comfortable and ease them into online play, but help retain players who want to be competitive, but haven't made that jump because they lack knowledge. I know that a unit database already exists, but it's convoluted, hosted on a separate server, and something that only a minority of players ever access.

Most of us on these forums are here because we play into that competitive mentality that likes perusing stats, creating interesting strategies and outwitting our opponents through clever tactics. I'm just asking that we have the necessary tools available to do so.

Show me the math. Show me what skins people are wearing. Show me who won the game in Observer Mode (lol?). Show me everything.

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
