Come on, Japan is better placed to take the second fraction (the others were weak engineering studies and the armed forces)
- We were infantry rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, antitank rifle Type-97 and Type-4 recoilless
- Tanks with good guns but poor armor
- 300 mm mortars
- Marines and paratroopers
- Good Navy
Trouble in Japan - a bad industry and incompetent, overconceited generals who used disgusting strategy and tactics

Axis tank Production:
Japan: 2,515
Japan build alomst no tanks during WW2.
And about good guns: most japanese tanks had a tiny short 37mm and 47mm guns that could not deal with a sherman. Japanese tanks with a more powerful 75mm gun were just prototypes which never saw any combat.
If you add a army to the game you have to ask the question if this army is fun to Play or fit well with the other factions.And if USA, Germany and soviet Union have many cool medium and heavy tanks i don t think an army with only outdated, weak light tanks like japan is much fun to Play nor does such an army fit well into the game.Japan never focused on tanks during WW2 thats why they only had light Support tanks that couldn t deal with other tanks. |
It seems they will add the sherman with the later longer gun and not the one from CoH0 with the short one:
|
what? Are you insane?
No, i don't like sovs+ americans because its completely ahistorical.
I'm also excited for the new factions. I can't wait to play as soviets againts the new german faction.
What im not looking forward to is sovs+ americans in one team game.
Relic said you can even make a match soviets vs USA............ |
if they enable modding, you can bet your bottom dollar that the soviet faction in the elite mod (for instance) will be interesting as fuck
relic really seems to get things wrong a lot, they should listen the community more.
ie: TANK TRAPS, SANDBAGS, AND FASTER BUILD WIRE
NORMAL MINES FOR GERMANS
you know, the shit that the community has been spouting for almost a year now, but ALAS
And don t Forget more non doctrinal Units(like KV-1 non doctrinal, T-34/76 upgadable to T-34/85 and adding more non doctrinal Units to ostheer too) to give the game more variety and options.
But relic keeps ignoring all this since the beginning. |

Read through your post, we think the next update will largely resolve many of your concerns. We don't think veterancy on the whole is an issue, perhaps on one or two units. The Panther at veteran level 2 might be too strong for example, this is something we're keeping our eye on. That said, Soviet mid-late game will be on par with the Germans in the next update. For example, IS-2 and ISU-152 will take on a more significant anti-vehicle role.
Relic will buff the soviets late game hughly it seems. |
Now that Relic announce that they are going to release two factions, we know that one faction is going to be American, but what will the other one be? I don't see the sense of making another German faction, when you can have one awesome German faction that has a whole lot of stuff, and how much more can you add to a new German faction anyways?
New german faction:
Stuff that could be added:
Jagdtiger
Sturmtiger
King Tiger
Jagdpanther
Jagdpanzer IV/70
Marder III
Puma
Panzer II
Panzer III
Hetzer
Flak Vierling
Fallschirmjaegers
Knight cross holders
Stormtroopers
Volkssturm
Nebelwerfer
StuH 42
Walking stuka rocket launcher
Hummel
Flak 88
210mm morser 18 howitzer
V-1 rocket
Berge Tiger
motorcycle
Goliath
Pak 44
Hotchkiss
Wirbelwind
But i don t know how relic want to Balance the 2 new armies.They can t even Balance ost and soviets. |
They could realistically depict the Jagtiger by making it break down and get abandoned...
Seriously though, the Jagtiger was one of the worst, if not the worst heavy AFV that the Germans fielded in WW2. The elefant was a much better vehicle. The difference in performance between the 2 was comical.
I have the combat histories of jagdtiger units and their record is pretty pathetic. They were deployed in 2 heavy tank hunting battalions. They had entire companies lost without any kills, and more Jagtigers were lost than Allied tanks destroyed.
Tiger Ace Otto Carius' company only scored 1 sherman kill and lost all 10.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagdtiger
During April 1945, s.Pz.Jäg.Abt.512 saw a great deal of action, especially on 9 April, where the 1st company engaged an Allied column of Sherman tanks and trucks from dug-down positions, and destroyed 11 tanks and over 30 soft-skins, with some of the enemy tanks having been knocked out from a distance of more than 4,000 m. The combat unit only lost one Jagdtiger in this incident as Allied ground attack P-47 fighters appeared. During the next couple of days the 1st company destroyed a further five Sherman tanks before having to surrender at Iserlohn.
They saw some Action and one of the jagdtigers even destroyed one of the rare Pershing tanks at Iserlohn. |
Of course it could still be US. This is a business. The US has 300 million rich consumers. And the US would be a popular faction for those who dislike Nazis and communists.
That would not preclude them building more on the Eastern Front, but I think it would still make sense to have US faction for an expansion. You could use winter tech for Battle of the Bulge and you could throw in airborne as well.
China also fought in WW2 against Japan and they have 1300 Million Population.If relic is smart they should add China. |
God that was a dumb post... Was Switzerland in the war? No? Then no shit you troll.. Use you head. I am of course speaking of battles that happened in europe...sigh
You mean the battles that were already covered in CoH 1?Superbrain? so they make a Remake of CoH1? you are super intelligent here is a tip for you: if you want to Play WW2 western Front---->go Play CoH1. |
It's most likely going to be added to the ToW via missions. Look at that map! It spans from Russia to Normandy and parts of Italy. It will come via lend lease commander and maybe some American vs German missions to get Rdy for that Africa Korps expansion
ToW map?Even switzerland is on this map.
So can we expect the epic battle for switzerland which never happened? |
