I think ww2 is at the perfect spot for complexity of tech. Do you really want a game where each side only has one Main Battle Tank, instead of a bunch of variety in TDs, mediums, heavies?
The 1950s, 1960s look very cool, there was a lot of staff more than in the WW2.
CoH3 should focus on the Mediterranean: North & East Africa, Italy and Balkans.
This means sandstorms, desert skins, etc
About the possible factions I would say: Italy, something like the OKW (let's call it Westheer? just the idea of the german army against the western allies), UK and USA.
Other factions that should be added after maybe as DLCs: Ostheer, Soviets and Commonwealth Nations.
Of course, soviets and ostheer can't be picked in desert maps unless Relic makes desert skins: ostheer is ok, soviets could use maybe uniforms similar to desert skins (some summer skins in CoH2 wouldn't be bad in desert such as conscripts, combat engineers, guards) or just make them up.
Soviets had a desert form - used in the Caucasus, Central Asia, Transbaikalia (in the war with Japan)
People want sand, palms, desert, ruins, pyramids, Rommel´s Africa Corps Campaign, naval bombardment, sand flying around when artillery shells hit the ground, flak 88 emplacements, fast agile Axis faction based on years 1940-43, matildas, British Montgomery campaign and so on and so forth.
They don´t want cancerplacements, brits can be implemented differently. But people want the African thema
I also want Soviet paratroopers, the Battle for the Dnieper, the Soviet offensive in 1944, the Battle for Germany, the Czech Republic and Hungary. Because I want CoH2 fully dedicated to the Eastern Front (according to the developers). But our desires diverge from reality
when will people understand that these stats means nothing.
As tightrope said, the best way to know about balance is through tournament and luvnest beating hans with USF is clearly a sign that USF is not so weak.
If you compare it to the WPC tournament, where it was DEVM vs the spanish dude (don't remember his name), it was basically the one who had allies faction that would win the game.
it ended 3 - 2, with every single victory when playing allies.
It was not the case at all during the GCS tournament.
EDIT : i say it again but in my opinion, balance forum should be locked only to people with rank < 100 in 1v1, it would prevent people like OP from making trash thread.
I don't care about tournaments, I don't participate in tournaments, I play the game, and I don't play for US - because it's the most boring and bad faction. These bla bla bla about tournaments starting to annoy.
Not a good idea, Tiger and IS-2 don't make sense right now (useless, easy to destroy), only King Tiger and Pershing are really good and Pershing is very easy to destroy, only King Tiger is really too strong
We've had a Western Front France and Eastern Front Russia. I'm expecting a Germany vs Allies in Germany. What would be really cool is an alternate history US vs Soviets 1950s-60s game.
The Eastern Front was not fully disclosed in CoH2, in VCoH Western Front was discovered very well, CoH2 is a repetition of the previous game. So it would be nice to fully open the topic of the Eastern Front in the next part. And I agree, the alternative history of 1945 - 1960 is cool.
