Country specific units?

So what about exclusive units for certain countries? like the U.S. army rangers, or the SAS, the Maquis, Brandenburgers, Spetsnaz etc.

As it is, countries do have their own versions of each others units, however I believe that actually giving an additional unit outside of this would begin to create a game imbalance.

This has been mentioned several times, and each time it has been very controversial.

I think the dev's have done a great job with units, they are lacking about 5 to 6 more that are really needed, but they have given the building blocks for any Grand Strategy fighter to begin his empire. True, playing as Germany, I don't want to be flying B-17 or B-29 bombers (I might if they put the cross on them) but there were concept craft they could use. And with limited funds coming in, they don't prioritize graphics but they get there eventually (I mean if the icons for my fighter were cool, I might post it to facebook.) But what units are provided, you have to find what suits your playing style, and like any good War game, they emphasize attacking. I hope I never have to defend because I don't know how to. That being said, the exclusive units you talk about come into play in various ways already in the game. I looked at my 22 stack of of the 29th Tactical Bomber unit, have destroyed 37 units. Now that Exclusive name will be remembered by me in the game.

I agree, I don't think Poland was communist during ww2 and on their heavy tank there's a red star. it doesn't bother me much but it is there...

I really think they should use the Me-264 as the Strategic and the Ju-390 as the Nuclear bombers, for Germany / Axis.

I would like them to change the skins and pictures for the different units to suit the country your playing as. For example: If I was playing as great Britain, my level 6 fighter should be a gloster meteor not a P-80.

British=best. Duh!

Yes, but Poland used a lot of russian material and russian tanks, like the T-34 or the IS-2, the only thing that is wrong with these vehicles is the red star.

Here is a picture of a polish T-34:

Poland used this material during it's campaign with the red army. They had their own tanks, planes, guns and things before the end of 1939.

Well, I partially agree with you, @Elitenoob0wnage. Who ever heard of German commandos? I think there could be one faction-specific unit. Commandos for Allies, Super Heavy Armor for Germans, Rocket Launchers for Soviets.

I also suggest giving a different unit tree to the British, more than enough equipment to fill it up. If the British were included, I'd propose the following:

  • British faction-specific unit are the Commandos, having a buff that is that they're invisible in mountains and forests
  • American faction-specific unit are the Rangers, better than infantry, and I guess we could give them some sort of buff.
  • German is Super Heavy Armor. Slightly better than heavy armor, though not too OP and very slow
  • Russian is the Rocket Launcher. Kinda like artillery, but does a lot more damage. Although some other countries used rocket launchers, none of them were as effective and famous as 'Stalin's Organs'.

The past is a foreign country.

All of these are Rockets Level 1 to me.

Calliope wasn't used too much. Nebelwerfer was used, but not as much as the Katyusha, and we have to give the Soviets something.

The past is a foreign country.

Yes I know, I don't care about the actual vehicles, just the skins that are used....

Any ideas for skins for an Algerian tank?

The past is a foreign country.

A french tank seeing as France ruled Algeria in ww2.

Turkish tank?

The past is a foreign country.

Soviet bought stuff. T-26s and so on. Nothing post-1940 seeing as the soviet black sea fleet sunk Turkish chrome shipping on it's way the Germany constantly.

British=best. Duh!
