WWII wasn't really fought in North America

It was mostly in the Soviet Union and other damp and rainy parts of Europe. And North Africa, well...they had plenty of sand to throw on the fires And aren't the Pacific Islands and Burma more of a rain forest environment?
Wildfire seems to be pretty common in countries bordering the Mediterranean: Spain, Southern France, Italy, Greece, etc. It wouldn't be unrealistic to have Battle-of-the-Wilderness-style conflagrations in these regions, though I do imagine it would be hard to portray in-game.

Well the Finns used scorched earth tactics pretty extensivly & the biggest tank battle ever at Kursk the whole place went up & due to the speed it spread killed quite a few. As the game cant model weather as in wind & season as in dry wet its not worth bothering with much. Think of as suppresion ties him in place & restricts shots as hes busy pooring his canteen on the flames.
