Japan:
+more axis light tanks
+6 man squads maybe
+an actual navy
+axis demos
+katanas


-katanas
-turtle strats
-CoH2 has no navy
-no unit preservation ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
-obsolete medium "armor"
-a complete lack of heavy armor


*players who believe in glorious Nippon steel might think otherwise


Japan lacks a lot of essential parts to be a proper CoH2 mainstay. It's main strength was its navy and airforce, while CoH is a land-based theater. It's anti-tank capability revolved around woefully unreliable methods compared to other factions, and its own armor is at best late 20's technology. Japan has nowhere enough manpower or industry to compete with any of the other factions. Politically, Japan never coordinated anything with Germany, either.

TL;DR: Japan is not for CoH2

That too, but I had a hunch something like this would happen, they could add so much to the Eastern Front.

But in all honesty I think something along the lines of the Eastern Front being representative of the early war, that is, the invasion of the USSR and Operation Barbarossa for 1941/1942 while having the Italian Front as 1943 to introduce the German-Italian and British Armies to the game and adding the USF and OKW in a final 1944/1945 expansion to the game like they did.

Instead we get Eastern Front Armies that span from the invasion of the USSR to almost the end of the war or whatever, at least 1943/1944 and then we get the USF and OKW in 1944 around the Battle of the Bulge, and then we get the crossing of the Rhine in 1945 with the British, just doesn't make sense to me.

I am of course not saying that my way is the best way to do it, I'm just suggesting a possible way on how to do things, which is of course a bit too late but eh.

Maybe another route to take was to start with Africa possibly, and introduce the Afrika Korps and Italian/Italian-German Army and the American and British Armies for the Allies, and THEN move to a later part of the Eastern Front or something like that, I honestly don't know.

But a 6th Army is missing, I'll just say that.
