The repair lines could be used for a certain heavy tank, especially if the voice actor was still on the books
testifying time.
along the same lines, there are also lines refering to V rockets/Me262's sooooo... anythings possible. who knows what sort of dreams relic are harbouring.

I bet they thought the weakest unit being black might offend people. But their decision to exclude them entirely is sad.

I wish they would put them back in. Soviets gets female snipers and crews. UKF gets different commonwealth soldiers. This would have been really cool.

its never too late for them to add them since the sound files are there and if we put pressure on them

Honestly, there are always people being upset.
It would start with "Why are only the Rear Echolns black, is it because they suck?"
In fact the US in that time had only a few black soldiers and even less at the front line. Segretation was strict back then but today's good minds won't accept that.
Reminds me of Southpark's Operation Human Shield:

tank crews,
infantry,
Artillery or in support of Airborne.
Even if it was just the Rear Echelon it would still be SOME representation of these brave men's contribution to the war. If trolls want to make racist remarks about them in-game... well they make racist remarks regardless so I don't really see the issue.

Black troops played a significant role in the Ardennes and I would be proud to see them represented in COH2. Maybe as some of the
tank crews,
infantry,
Artillery or in support of Airborne.

I remember their old voice lines from Alpha, and I didn't like them. Not because they sound black, but because they sound bad ass but they are the weakest unit in the entire game.

They could've actually made a good campaign with this too, maybe about the 761st Tank Battalion or something.
EDIT:
Actually I think the USF just lack character in their voices in general. They could've given the units some more regional accents like Italian New Yorker, Southern, etc.

No one is asking for "political correctness" (AKA not being a dick), they are asking if existing assets could be added to the game for some flavor.
Sorry missunderstood the content of the last few posts then about Credit Where credits belong and so on. Not a native english speaker

Though I think this could have been prevented by witty voice lines or by introducing them alongside the white RE troops.
Btw: They should introduce Austrian troops for the Axis. They would neither be able to speak English nor German.

I would have liked to see them. But I can also understand why they were not included. Rear Echelons, Engineers, Pioneers etc. are supportive units. They repair and build stuff... their focus isn´t on fighting but "servicing" your troops. This would look kind of wrong with a unit completely consisting out of Afro-American models.

I remember a documentation that most afro americans were deployed in Pioneer batallions to build stuff etc, would be historical but political incorrect

There would be uproar in the US.
