awesome work

The difference of playing Whiteball, Eindhoven, Rails and Metal, Redball, Essen Steelworks, Winnekendonk, Minsk... there's just none. Play the same standard build and same tactics and you'll be fine in 80% of the games.

I find it a bit odd that you throw a map like Essen Steelworks or Winnekendonk into the same pool with Redball or Rails. The first two definitely have their own character left and have to be played different than the latter two

Your response is weird. Considering you don’t want to spam mediums? But also don’t want heavy tank meta? Which one?

Nah I'm totally fine with heavy tank meta in teamgames, I just don't want "superheavies" again with massive armor + hp + range + damage. They were just extremely unhealthy for the game in CoH2 I think.
Playing with breakthrough tanks like Sherman Bulldozer or Brummbar (both are way too weak in CoH3) or heavy tanks like Tiger, Churchill Croc or Pershing paired with AT guns or stuff like Marders would feel way more fun & natural to play in teamgames than this degenerate medium spam.

The Tiger in CoH3 as I stated before feels very impactful but without being super OP and everything bouncing or anything. They're just too hard to get now with DAK tech, Wehr's massive cp requirement and faster tickrate. But I do actually want to see way more units like the Tiger in the future, on top of some love for existing units like Brummbar or Dozer

But Coh3's release was so bad, there are not enough players left to make decent matches.

Not the most meaningful sample size, but a month ago I played like ~20 2v2s and not a single one felt like mismatched teams. Always less than 5 minutes queue time and always a full top 300 lobby or better. I was playing DAK where I am around rank 50

Here's my updated review if you care to read it:
Show Spoiler

Glad to hear it, but I must admit I'm a bit surprised that you like CoH3 as a 4v4 main, it's where CoH3 performs the weakest by far imo.

It's not only the lack of maps, but something feels off from a faction design standpoint as well, and on a fundamental level. The unit roster of all factions except brits, especially in t4, feels like the CoH3 faction designers think that this community only plays 1v1 and 2v2 for some reason. I certainly don't miss the terminator rocket artillery and tank destroyer spam from CoH2 that got incredibly boring after so many years. But where are the premium medium and heavy tanks? Where is the meat?

I'm not asking for poorly designed superheavies like the JT or the ISU-152, not only did they create stalemates every time, they also forced the existence of overpowered Tank Destroyers to make them somewhat balanced. And then those OP TDs made heavier, medium and light tanks utterly useless etc.

But CoH3 definitely needs way more units like the Tiger (patched to death in DAK), Pershing, Croc, E8, Brummbar, Sherman crocodile etc etc. The late-game phase in CoH3's bigger teamgames usually boils down to medium tank spam paired with a couple tankhunters.... which is fine & fun in 1v1 or 2v2, but once you enter 4v4 it feels totally out of place (especially if the map is rather narrow/campy). Spamming cheap tanks is a playstyle that was never suited for a CoH 4v4 scenario at all in the last 17 years, it... just doesn't feel right or satisfying
