My understanding is that the developers were forewarned (months/a year ago) about the limitations of the modular system used by CoH2 - and now CoH3 - because it was such an unnecessarily restrictive system back then, and it forbade any kind of frontend modding that was previously possible in CoH1. The assumption must be that modding capability is heavily limited so as to avoid impacting the sales of potential future DLC which could otherwise be created by the community for free.
I do not understand why there isn't a tech tree or any kind of in-game database. The mod tools as they exist now are essentially useless outside of obtaining unit stats - which I suppose is useful, but mostly because the game lacks any kind of documentation or in-game tech tree that would otherwise provide some of this information in more ergonomic form. It would have been more honest simply to announce months ago that the game would not ship with mod tools or support modding outside of map creation and new game modes (using SCAR).
