Nobody cares for WW2 when it doesn't have the iconic stuff in it

You say that only because you're too ignorant about all the stuff that isn't used and simply don't even know there exists something outside of Tigers and Shermans.
It would be perfectly fine to make early WW2 CoH with less known units and units of factions like France.

Plus, who do you think CoH playerbase is?
People with raging boners for tigers and shermans?

No, its people who are interested in playing as whermacht or amerikans.

There is a shitload of interesting, unique and peculiar units that were used in early war, that includes a whole plethora of heavy tanks that have no place at all in late war setting.

Big kudos to Aerafield and Sneak Eye for killing Thanos of ZiS!

Again what I have said one should stop making progressively more powerful unit earlier.

Then I suppose its good that T-70 haven't received a singular buff in years?
Inb4 you try the 400 health thing, let me remind you that self repair, still allowing it to not die in 2 shots and canceling faust was removed from it in return.

It does not matter if it manpower or fuel that make the T-70 arrive at its current time.

It does matter.
It very much does matter.
Literally all units are balanced around their cost and timing.
How can you even attempt to deny that? Its unquestionable fact around which the whole balance of the game lies, not an opinion.

The unit should be cost according to its performance and increase the window of opportunity for units make units easier to pay for their cost.

So, what is wrong with most expensive stock light arriving the latest of them all performing better then cheaper and earlier equivalents?
Why aren't you complaining about OKW P4 roflstomping all other stock medium tanks?
The exact same principle applies in that case.

The reason the AA HT is not popular has to do with fact that it does have the squad wipe potential of the T-70.

Its not popular, because it doesn't have firepower at all, its suppression platform primarily, damage one secondarily when upgraded and when unupgraded its regular reinforcement vehicle.
Its not popular, because at the stage of the game when soviets get T3, other factions have their elites and stock infantry decked out in weapon upgrade as well as their own lights that are on field for at least 2 minutes already, inflicting more bleed then soviets can inflict themselves.

Any change that gives something to meds that isn't firepower is a welcome one.

Survivability was always med tanks problem, you literally have less then 1 second to react and HOPE to save your med when you run into 2 ATGs.

The first one that cries agianst the truth and find it offensive we all know why everyone knows even if they wont admit it.

Ahh yes, the "prophet of truth without a proof".
There is always one around.
