Sudden Strike 2 vs Blitzkrieg vs COH vs Steel Division? Which one do you think is best and why by order of preference. Which one of these would qualify more as a battle for Total War - Modern Warfare/WW2 style game?

I've been trying to decide which one of these i should play.

I play a lot of OpenRA. What i like about it is that the artillery actually functions properly.
And there is a sense of combined arms to it, where aircraft and infantry must attack in the right moment and right context.

I also like commandos a lot when i was younger.

i dont care about graphics. I care about gameplay and fun and then tactical realism but only when possible.

I usually prefer isometric games to 3D realistic games, they are easier in your eyes and more schematic/readable for gameplay. So being 3D doesnt mean much to me, if its full of stuff you cant see properly, or its too zoomed in.

Having said that I also like Total War games. What i was really looking for is a Total War set in modern times or something similar. But that doesnt exist.

From my searches it seems Sudden Strike 2 is better than Sudden Strike 1, but Sudden Strike 4 is terrible from what they say.

Blitzkrieg 1 i read that it is better than all the successors too.

COH i hear a lot of people defending COH1 and COH2. Less people recommending COH3.

Steel Division i dont know much about it.

So where do you stay at, which ones would you prefer by order and why?

Which one would you say qualifies best as a battle system for a Total War game set in modern times / WW2?
