Both teams should have equal number of players with ranks of privates / sergeants / officers / generals.
If not - force the players to wait more in queue until game will find more balanced teams.

idk what you expect devs to actually do about it. do you want any vs any matchmaking?
at best what they can do is incentivize join any with bonus xp.

I want - privates and sergants vs privates and sergeants.
Officers and generals vs officers and generals.
People are very patient if they want to play specific faction, so it should work.

so tell me how exactly will MM match 100 generals on japan side vs 100 privates on US side.
I dont want 100 generals in Japan vs 100 privates in USA, but 100 generals on both sides.
For example…
There is a 10 generals in queue for Japan and 2 generals + 8 privates for US.
Game does not start, but instead - tries to match 8 US privates with other privates (Germany or Japan) and also - waits for more generals to join US queue and start a game in Pacific.

only possible if game MM forces any vs any. so you will have japan, US, germany and soviets in one team vs japan, US, germany and soviets in other team.
you can have either nation selection and BR MM or you can have SBMM without nation selection. there is also question of BR would work with SBMM cause there are not enough players for both.
Why ?
Why the game needs more Japan, US, Germany and Soviet players only to find more US generals / Japan privates ?
cant help you if you cant do basic math.
do you expect devs to magically conjure those US generals and japan privates? where do you think they will come from? devs can only remove nation vs nation fight and make it free for all if you want game to have 10vs10 generals and 10vs10 privates.

Players come from whole world - from Europe, from Russia, from United States, from China.
I think that Soviet and German players are not needed for a Pacific 
now idk if you are trolling me or…

OK. I think I understand what are you trying to say.
It is like in this joke - “did China fight against Germany in WW II ? - YES. Because they fight Japan, who fight against USA, who fight against nazi Germany”.
That means - players in German queue might indirectly help with matchmaking in Pacific (Soviets rather not).
But still - only indirectly. Because in fact only US and Japan players are needed for a one match in Pacific.
I know one way to fix the player shortage open up the Chinese servers and make them public
you dont understand me.
there is finite amount of generals in this game. lets say 500 generals. there is also finite amount of privates in this game. lets say 1000 privates. if majority of those generals decide to play japan e.g. 400 of them and 400 of privates decide to play USA, then game can only match generals against privates.
wait time will not help cause even if 100 remaining generals decide to play USA, 300 of those generals dont have any counterpart in USA army. aka waiting infinitely.
so you can either force those 300 generals that selected japan to play other random nation, or you can ruin nation vs nation integrity so you will have 150 japan generals vs 150 japan generals.

20- 25 min is not an eternity.
100 USA generals play with 100 Japan generals + 300 Japan generals wait till the match is over.
Next round starts - 100 USA generals play with next 100 Japan generals + 200 Japan generals wait.
Third round - 100 USA generals play with next 100 Japan generals + 100 Japan generals wait.
Fourth round - 100 USA generals play with next 100 Japan generals.
That some people will have to wait one hour for a match ?
They already can wait 15 min. or more, so I think it is not a big problem if they want to play their favourite faction.

ffs most of the times i have 30 minutes to play one game before i have to do something else.
15 minute wait is a bug. MM should force match with bots after 2-3 minutes.
also game would lose players with long waiting times cause it would give impression that game is dead.

It is not a bug. After the update Japan mains waited 15 minutes for a match.
I will show you a screen, but I need a time to find it.
i know it happened, but it is bug cause MM normally matches teams when both teams are not complete.
there are lots of matches where there is 10v5 or 5v5 or any other combination.
In my opinion - Gaijin is too lenient for players nowadays.
People do not care about fair match, what they want is to join popular faction to get easy XP.
Then - they switch to another faction and so on. They ruin the game.
