That's true, we barely see chingchong theatres in games. Would be nice to see the British play in foreign territory and win (since for the first half of the 20th century, that was what they did), and by contrast, old enemies like china and japan squaring off in ways they did for centuries.The China/Burma/India Theater is by far the most overlooked aspect of WW2. Some of the biggest blood baths of the entire war occurred between the Chinese and Japanese, not to mention that one of the biggest defeats inflicted upon Japan was inflicted by British India at Imphal and Kohima. Then there's the the Soviet invasion of manchuria, northern korea, south sakhalin and other areas towards the end.Ww1 desperately needs its own Company of Heroes.
Like louis said, a good space opera arr pidgey loaded with Age of Discovery optimism would be lovely.
Something inspired by Jules Verne, that actually captures his spirit of adventure and curiosity. 19th century sci-fi, but the kind that's fascinated with the world around it, the different cultures, nature, geography, and the possibilities of the undiscovered, rather than faggoty introspection, lore dumps, politics, and pseudo-philosophical posturing.
Modern-day Russia. Games only ever acknowledge the soviet union, or imperial russia if it's a 4x or economic sim. Modern russia would be perfect for a GTA-style game.
The mexican jungle. Would be perfect for an RTS or RTT set in aztec times.
I respect Forza Horizon 5 for being set in Mexico, so games can finally get some use out of that country and its look and geography.
More obscure fronts of WW2, or even the well-known but underutilized ones like Francoist Spain or the Yugoslav Partisans (for the love of Allah, don't make me play against Franco).
Other major wars that don't get much, if any coverage are the Korean war(WW2 and post War Soviet and American gears facing off) or the Iran-Iraq war(largest air war since Vietnam).
Would like to see late 19th-early 20th century combat as well. Ruso-japanese or first sino-japanese war. I find it to be an interesting time in history, as it had neither the nihilism of post-ww1 nor the familiarity of the olden days.
My itch for "cold war gone hot" you're implying with Korea was scratched by World in Conflict and Red Alert. However I'm not enticed by playing as or against soviets and their proxies, I've had my fill of them.
I like the idea of Iraq vs Iran, for the fact that you get to see the sand nigger point of view, how they fight and what they fight for, and for the use of chemical weapons. War games should have more of that. That's also why I want a good ww1 rts.
