Total war games, Graviteam Tactics, Men of war, Wargame franchise, World in conflict, Company of heroes, the Arma series, the Close Combat series and others, all good games in their way but in my opinion they are more popular because they look better not because they play better.
There is a whole universe of strategy titles, the hearts of Iron series for example that appeal to those who like to play strategic or tactical type military based games.
I am convinced that if this game had a massive graphics upgrade and was overhauled in the usability department then sales would rocket.
As I stated in an earlier post, like many others, for me gameplay trumps appearance, however appearance does matter and to many it is important. I am sure that many players that opt for CoH for example are seduced by the graphics but in reality are looking for something that plays more like Combat Mission.
