Why no random faction automatches like in CoH1?

For example, if I choose to search as random faction 1v1 & 2v2 and you choose to search as OKW 1v1, we could still automatically be matched up against each other as Brits (me) vs. OKW (you) in 1v1 automatch, making both of us happy with our choices and adding more diversity to the game.

First, here are the gathered advantages so far:

As developers and community often strive to mitigate heavy one-sided faction fanboyism, we could implement a small reward for searching/playing as random faction in automatch. For example, a higher chance for more or better Spoil of War rewards (Commanders, skins, medals) etc. This way we could encourage players slightly to play with more (random) factions. In the end faction diversity is always better for a healthy community that is aiming to balance the game in the right way.

To be honest I think it wouldn't be bad to make random-faction mandatory for matchmaking. There are way to many players who only play one side.

I would be OK with it if it worked similar to the map veto system: let me pick which factions I want to be able to play as in the 'random pool'. Maybe I want to queue as Ost, USF and Sov, but not brit/OKW, or maybe just queue as random allies, or random everything.

As for 'loadout' pick, just have it pick whichever loadout you last selected. When you switch factions normally it picks the last-used loadout, so just use that system.

Throw a dice first, then pick a faction according to the result. Problem solved
