Very bad. A magnificent game without any potential. All reside on developers will. They don't understand the game development concept which can make this game a land mark in history of strategy games all times ever.

Well, I'm sorry that you feel that way. I have reservations about how they run their business as well, I must confess, but I have absolutely no issues with how they design their games or interact with their community. Its a gold standard for me, in fact. A game that doesn't need modding beyond the cosmetic is a game that was done properly, and I can think of two, maybe three simulators that achieve this standard.

As for a game residing on the developer's will, that's why they're called "the developers" :P one would suppose.

So, please list the hundreds of vehicles present in Final Blitzkrieg.

Equipment used by these formations includes well over 100 vehicles, two dozen small arms, and dozens of heavy weapons! Future expansions will add more nationalities and forces while expanding the timeline to the end of the war!

Dunno about you, but that sure looks like a lot of equipment to me. And this is just one game in the family, one game that is expected to have modules, which will add even more vehicles. Your argument is invalid.

What you are failing to comprehend is that the Combat Mission series of games is based on being as close to the actual reality of the depicted conflicts as possible. Therefore it would be undesirable to allow individual gamers to modify the performance of the in game units. Combat Mission is a battle simulator, not Company of Heroes.

So, it's a very big disappointment. We are forced to see and play what developers want. And this is only a minor fraction of vehicles/weapons who are really depicted in the game on what was real in western front. So a big MALUS here. 

Forgive my ignorance, but what are these extra vehicles that mean CM is only a minor fraction of the total? I have been studying military history and WW2 particularly for about 40 years as a hobby, and I am not aware of this vast hoard of vehicles (from WF 1944-early 45) that I have missed. Do I need to go an find a new hobby that I can be some good at, or is there a teeny weeny bit of exaggeration here? Bearing in mind that CM is about vehicles that actually made it into combat of course (and had an effect on same), so we don't need to discuss the Tetrarch tanks' few days in combat with max 20 vehicles, or the German stupid monster prototypes...
