I dont get what all the fuzz is about. The expansion will be great, I am sure about that. I think that many people that complain about Soviets and Americans teaming up, simply don't like the Soviets. They think Soviets are "evil" and that you can't match something "evil" with something "good". These people just take the historical accruracy as a pretense.

I can't wait for the two new factions joining the battlefield.

Thats a pretty heavy accusation youre making there. I wonder where youre getting that idea from to be honest.

Furthermore its not like the people who complain about mixed factions dislike the expansion as a whole. i cant wait for the expansion either but I simply dislike this aspect/this design decision.

Its obviously not a problem for everyone, wether a change concerning this "issue"is necessary simply depends on the amount of people who hate it.

Campaign will be focused on American/Germans western front.

There wont be any campaign.

On Topic:

Yes mixed allied factions is a horrible in my opinion. Ostheer and the OKW fighting together can make sense but will probably OP if US/Sov teams are not possible so mixed german factions will have to be taken out as well.

Relic stated a lot of times that they are trying to create a somewhat authentic (not necessarily realistic) experience. "Immersion" has always been part of Relics idea for the game (at least I did read that in an interview a while ago as far as I remember). This will utterly destroy that immersion.

The solution is simple but will split the playerbase (and will have an impact on the leaderboards): Let players choose if they want to be matched up against mixed teams or not.

For me there are things that im okay with concerning authenticity:

- Rare vehicles roaming the battlefield (Ostwinds)

- US forces fighting on soviet maps/soviet forces fighting on western front maps (though some kind of mechanic that replaces t34 wrecks with sherman wrecks and vice versa depending on which factions are involved would certainly be great)

-Ostheer fighting Americans/Soviets fighting the OKW

-Ostheer+OKW team fighting American-only team OR soviet-only team(though probably too unbalanced to allow for automatch)

-Obviously the unrealistic gameplay mechanics

But having IS2 tanks fighting alongside US Airborne rangers? That is too much imo. I dont need a perfectly authentic game but something that I feel has still something to do with the actual WW2.

More like a King Tiger shooting V1s ^^

If i want play as USA im going to play COH. I only see nothing new. Same units, just better graphics.GG.

Sorry to hear that youre blind

Where is Katitof?

You wont see him for a while

20% of the joy about the announcement for me comes from the fact that Katitof was wrong all along
