the solution is simple.

1. you can perfectly win with unconventional strats as well.
2. dont take losses too seriously
3. play well.

We have a winner. The only record that really matters is 1v1 and that's only if you're a pro/playing in competitions all the time.

Just chill out and enjoy the game.

Another problem is how godly offmap is vs. static structures that are supposed to hold back blobs. The same offmap arty is next to useless against a swarm of infantry as everyone and their grandmother can get out of the way by the time the shells fall.

Please, please, please let the decals be just unit marking, or weathering/rust etc...the last thing we need online are T-34s and Panthers zipping around with a my little pony stamped on their turrets....

The Japanese wouldn't (unless you use your World of Tanks history textbook) possess any armoured units that could conceivably hold their own with a 75mm Sherman...let alone the E8, Jackson...Soviet arsenal...etc

If you want to include Japan you'd have to create a separate US Army/Marines faction that is balanced towards pacific island fighting, more infantry geared than armoured...and have them not be able to mix with US/Sov/Ost/West in matchmaking...

But that's not going to happen because;
1) Majority of CoH2 casual fanbase wants to see epic heavy tank face-offs like IS-2s vs Tigers...they'd see the Japanese/Marines as boring factions with their occasional light/medium tanks.
2) If they did implement it...they wouldn't separate the fanbase, they didn't with Western Armies...now we have US Army in Rostov and the Red Army in France...and that's already a problem as USF cannot hold their own in big team games without Soviet support as it is...An Imperial Army faction would just be a liability to the Axis.

Overall a Japanese faction would require a completely different game experience than what we are used to in CoH2...It needs to be tailored to reflect the fighting conditions and the nature of the combat in the pacific...game mechanics simulating thick jungle brush, prolonged exposure to heat, complex ambush/camo mechanics, night-time maps with limited LOS, hand-to-hand fighting...it has to be done right or not at all.

Dude...its a joke...obviously we understand that blobbing probably isn't going anywhere for this iteration of CoH...we're just venting.
