You think we will ever see this in CoH2?
I could see some interesting maps coming of this, and would look really fresh to the game.
Could be based around the Italian 10th, 1st RTR,Afrika corp, commonwealth etc etc.

Could be a great campaign from Mersa Matruh to Tobruk, and possibly further.
What do you think?

africa corp is long gone in the MP stage of war, COH2 MP is taking stage at end of ww2, so i doubt we will see it. also africa corp dont have much heavies, their main tank is P3.

Africa would be better for an early war themed game, maybe CoH2 if it ever happens.

Would be fun to see technologically impaired axis faction that lacks automatic weaponry and doesn't have stock panther, or panther at all as well as no super heavy TDs or heavy tanks at all.

But it won't happen specifically for these reason, even if it had flak 88.

Your only hope is if they decided to do a campaign based around it since the Soviet campaign was earlier in the war as well. Other than that I see no way that Afrika would even be a possibility.

Well they said they had a 5y plan, and honestly I find it strange to have 3 allies and 2 axis factions.
That's why I think that there will be another axis (italian?) faction to balance it out again.

Just thinking out loud..

axis faction that lacks automatic weaponry


Hello my name is the German Army and every single squad gets their own Machine Gun!

Contrary to Volks, the Germans never lacked automatic weapons at any point.

I probably should have underlined ASSAULT autmatic weaponry, you know, StG44 that didn't existed at any point during Africa theater.
We all know they used LMGs until they puked, then used them some more.

MP40's were as good as Sten guns IRL, and as for now Commandos are the highest dps unit in game so Relic can give MP40's similar stats, not to mention that if its a Italian/German faction there are also a lot of Italian made weapons to choose from.

You may have a look at MololithicBacons Britishfronts map pack. There are 2 desert based ones, which are really cool.

MP 40's weren't a common weapon in Africa or even Europe. MP 40's became most wide-spread with the Volksgrenadiers in late 1944 'till the end of the war. Before that, they were only really issued to officers, combat pioneers, various crews, and on occasion select soldiers for assault ops.

Because that would totally not resemble the German army of ww2. But it would be funny as hell though!

North Africa in 1940-41 should be CoH3 material.

Vanilla game = France vs Germany 1940. Expansion is British vs Italy (with German support) in 1941.

But Relic will never give us early war, even though it has tons of interesting potential, because basically lots of players will be turned off by the lack of iconic German middle-late war armor. Germany as a fast striking faction with no heavies facing down slower moving, but more powerful allied stuff isn't what people want.

As there wont be another multiplayer expansion pack and its not unlikely that a potential CoH3 would leave the WW2 era I dont think that we can expect anything Africa related in the upcoming years.

1943 Africa could be possible with 88 flak, non doc tiger and upgradeable Panzer 3.

However I would prefer a faction that mixes Italian and German forces based on a late 1944 Italy scenario. You could have Italian mainline units and tanks with German elite specialists. Audio lines could be made funny with Italians complaining about the war and Germans making fun of the Italians.

I would like to CoH3 was either:
- "Operation Unthinkable," US + UK + The remains of the Wehrmacht against the Soviet Union + East Block (many captured German equipment)
either:
- Cuban Missile Crisis
