Rommel doctrine - get saddled with Italians, fall out with the boss when you realise you've backed the wrong horse, spend a year or two supervising wall-building then commit suicide.
the maps just don't work. Every map has 14 resource sectors and 3 Vps, when you add more players the responsibility for map control reduces and it also causes resource income rates to peak out faster.
Maps for the larger modes need more resource sectors and less resource per point to compensate so that the total resource count available is the same but it is distributed even further.
The maps are also very big which results in full retreats being very detrimental because it takes a really long time to get back to the action zones.
The maps are also very narrow which limits flanking opportunities.
tl;dr maps are a bigger problem then most players realise.
This.
There are lots of good points in this thread, but I think a core re-design of the 3v3 / 4v4 maps as Ipkai suggests would make a massive, positive, difference. Resources = flow of game. Re-balancing the resource sectors, and even VPs (why not maps with, say, two or four?) might well achieve this.
What would be refreshing would be an all-rounder tank like the Cromwell that was *OK* versus infantry and armour but not *brilliant* at either. With flank speed the tactic versus German heavies would be numerical superiority and micro (i.e. rear armour hits) but they'd be a bit more resilient versus shreks than a Sherman.
Heavy Brit AT could be a 17 pounder like the German PAK43.
