If they did not do this then not as many people would play. You have to keep it interesting to more age groups and newbies to WWII era warfare.

Atleast some of these looked pretty appealing hope some of them are still implemented

Boy, I sure wish we could get some of that Global Warming here. Our growing season is going to be shorter than some Canadian fields.

Yes, many of us are well aware that both the Americans and Germans produced limited numbers of helicopters and auto-gyros during the war, but I challenge you to provide a single instance where any of the U.S. Army Air Force, the U.S. Navy, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force or the Luftwaffe used any of them in combat or used any of them to transport combat troops. As far as I know, not a single chopper of any kind or model was ever used in combat during WW2 because they were still very much experimental, none of them were armed, and they had a very limited lift capacity to carry only one or two persons. Helicopter technology was simply not ready for prime time in 1943-45,

Not to be a grouch, but there are already too many fantasy units and anachronisms that have been added to the game, which have no place in a WW2-based game -- or in a game in which a hypothetical Second World War continued into the early 1950s. The game would be better without nuclear rockets with tactical accuracy, nuclear-powered submarines and ships, and rocket fighters with extended range and a decisive ability to defeat conventional fighters. Most of didn't come here to indulge our what-if fantasies, but to try our hands at something resembling WW2-era tactics.
If you want a history lesson, watch History Channel's coverage of WWII, there's always something good on, about it. Of course, the younger generation isn't that interested in the real history, but at least they might get excited about history if they find that a pseudo-historical-based game like CoW is fun. And, since strategy-buffs are more likely to be interested in history than other types of people, there's a real possibility that some younger players will actually crack open a book (or a wikipedia page) on some WWII history.
You say you don't want to be a grouch, but you kinda sound like one when you argue for the realism of the game. It's a game. It's just a game. It needs changes...maybe...depending on the demand of the players. But it's not a teacher, it's a plaything. You've spoken eloquently and with a certain amount of authority on aspects of the era, and that's cool. But you needn't be a curmudgeon about the accuracy. Let the people enjoy this game for what it is.
Oh, and even you need to give up on the call for paratroopers. After "3 years"...yada yada yada...yes, we know they are never going to implement that feature. Even I wouldn't mind seeing paratroopers, but the game balance would just be too off-putting to most players. Besides, there's always Conflict of Nations.
There is an option to delete a post....so gutting something that you decided you shouldn't have said isn't needed.

Now, for my own 2 bits on this thread, itself. While I do appreciate a good April Fools joke (and I got a family member fairly good, this year ), the choice to bait the users with the list of several much-desired features and changes was just a little bit tacky, not to mention too obvious. If you had wanted it to sound more convincing, you shouldn't have listed so many of the desirables. Perhaps, just list one desired feature (like the paratroopers, for example) and then list several things that are pretty mundane and more believable. Now, you did list some mundane things, but the list of goodies was just not believable.
If you want to sell a lie, you've got to season it with lots of truth.It seemed like such a waste to destroy an entire battle station just to eliminate one man. But Charlie knew that it was the only way to ensure the absolute and total destruction of Quasi-duck, once and for all.
The saying, "beating them into submission until payday", is just golden...pun intended.

Well it's called april fools... meaning that with careful reading, it is obvious that it is a hoax, and only the fool gets fooled. So yeah, listing all those features added to the quality of the joke since it was obvious that Bytro wouldn't add all those features in a single release.When the fake daddies are curtailed, we have failed. When their roller coaster tolerance is obliterated, their education funds are taken by Kazakhstani phishers, and their candy bars distributed between the Botswana youth gangs, we have succeeded.

Exactly,

Well I got what I wanted out of it, so that's cool.

I honestly don't think nuclear subs should be able to launch nukes, maybe transport them. Neither do attack helicopters belong in this game.
I'm still confused, it's way past Wednesday, so is this a joke? -
yes this was a prank. Its all fun and games.
-
Ah, just wanting clarification, thanks
-
Lol, but I do hope they evetually add peratroopers!
