1. Expanding the Horizon: Why These Nations?
Enlisted shouldn’t be limited to the “Big Four.” By adding Poland, France, and Finland as independent factions, we can experience the early and late stages of the war through unique perspectives and specialized units.
2. The New Combatants & Their “Special Flavors”:
🇫🇷 France (The Defensive Wall)
Focus: Heavy armor and slow, methodical pushes. Key Units: The B1 bis tank (a beast for early BRs) and the Char 2C (the multi-turreted super-heavy).
🇵🇱 Poland (The Cockroach Squads - TKS):
Focus: Small, fast, and deadly. The “Cockroach” Meta: The TKS Tankettes armed with 20mm cannons. They are tiny, hard to hit, and can ambush larger tanks in forests.
🇫🇮 Finland (The Winter Ghosts):
Focus: Guerrilla warfare and modified Soviet equipment. The “Borrowed” Arsenal: Finland uses captured Soviet tanks but with better optics and crew training. They should have a unique Skis/Sleds mechanic for snow maps and the famous Suomi KP/-31 SMG.
3. Changing the Game Meta
Adding these nations allows for Asymmetric Matchmaking (e.g., Polish TKS vs. German Panzers). It rewards players who like high-risk, high-reward gameplay and tactical ambushes.
Choose your favorite Forgotten Front:
- Poland (TKS “Cockroaches” & Early War)
- France (Heavy Armor & Defense)
- Finland (Winter Warfare & Skis)

You forgot to add the “no we don’t want this” poll point.

You’re right, I should have made it clearer! I usually consider the “No” or “Preference for current balance” as the primary counter-argument. However, the goal here is to brainstorm how we CAN make it work, rather than just saying no. I’d love to hear your specific concerns about why it shouldn’t be added—is it the balance or the historical accuracy?
I’d rather see these squads added in as unique event rewards to the already existing factions. Just so that matchmaking isn’t split.

The devs would have to add tons of new maps, weapons, research trees, voicelines, uniforms and more just for all of these nations to get forgotten after a few months and queues being flooded with bots. The devs haven’t even finished Japan TT and we are already asking for new nations? Nowadays we get maybe like 4 new additions for tech trees every major update. With that rate it would take years just to add a single new nation.

But why is it in the Sandbox section
You should be putting it in Suggestions
due to how few content such nations can provide, it cannot work under any circumstances.
i doubt such players would like to have very few content.
with that being said, subnation added to the main nations TT could work.
Finland under germany, Poland could be treated like china, aka both under the USSR and western allies, and france under the allies.
beside that,
i hardly see it working.
P.S.
sandbox is for mods.
not suggestions regarding the base game.

I appreciate the constructive feedback, especially the idea of “Sub-nations” or “Event Squads.” @ErikaKalkbrenner and @TJLockie-live, that’s actually a very realistic compromise! If making them independent is too much work for the devs right now, adding them as specialized sub-trees would still give us that historical variety we crave without splitting the player base.
@iso_seppo123, I understand the concern about bots, but unique mechanics like the Polish TKS or Finnish skis could actually bring more “real” players back to try something new. It’s about quality and unique gameplay over just adding more numbers.
