OoB differs from the PC precisely in that it tries to be more in line with historical realities. In addition, wars are won with the equipment that is the most, not some wunderwaffe.

My suggestions for the 2nd part:

Spitfire in USAAF service in 1942/43, before more P-47s appeared
A-36 Apache/Invader (an assault/bomber version of the P-51 Mustang, used during this period over Tunisia, Sicily and later over Italy)
M10 Wolverine tank destroyer - switchable to artillery mode (later used mainly to directly support an infantry battalion on the battlefield as self-propelled artillery)
Mules as a transport, performed perfectly in the mountainous terrain of Italy
US Mountain troops on the Italian Front, there was the 10th US Army Mountain Division from the fall of 1944

It would also be nice to see the attack of Luftwaffe bombers equipped with rockets and guided anti-ship bombs on the Allied invasion fleet at Salerno and Anzio.

I believe that the 2nd part of Allies campaign should cover the fighting in North Africa, Sicily and the entire Italian campaign up to May 1945. It would be great
The third part should start with the Normandy landing and cover activities in Western Europe.

Ever played World of Tanks?

I love this campaign tree! It has not been done before to my knowledge, and would be a nice change to the terrain already explored PG, and PC1 (PC2 has been doing some awesome changes so we will see where they go with it...).

Rangers as mountaineer equivalent would be nice.

Dual purpose M10 would be incredible and historical. Basically a better SU-76M.

I’d like to see the heavier US Artillery (both towed and self propelled) represented. For instance a US 203mm and 240mm gun: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/240_mm_howitzer_M1

I think it's a good idea, and one which has been on our radar too for some time. Whether we make them more like commando-style units, mountain inf, or a combi is not set in stone yet.

In terms of units I think it would be nice to see Rangers replace the role that US Marines hold in the current roster for the US. I do not think there is much in the way of new equipment that the US forces can employ however, but one idea is the implementation of airborne support units? for example, adding the airborne trait to certain support equipment like small caliber mountain guns and At guns for the later Airborne invasion scenarios that will start with Operation Husky. I am sure glider borne troops could also perhaps act as a type of Airborne heavy inf? Maybe even add the M22 locust to the airborne roster later. Overall if there are gonna be new units, I think for the pretty well established western allies, infantry will be the way to go.
