One of the most interesting things that I learned was that the early French equipment was very good. The Somosa 35 is the best tank on the map until the IIIf shows up and even then it can hold it's own. Hitler was right about the short barreled IVD.
The Matilda is a beast to kill early on. The Germans were very lucky that they had the 88 and that Rommel figured out how to use it properly.
There was a "Realism Event" held on this subject. It recreated the Battle of Arras where the Matilda was having a field day until the 88. BE holds realism events periodically where you only get one life. They are very entertaining even if you get killed right away.
Tanks show up over time as the current map progresses. The early French tanks give way to the American ones as the game marches on. Strategic bombing can effect the supply of new equipment which is kind of fun for the air war.
Considering the fact that they have less than a dozen programmers they have done a good job.
