I would not be able to do so, under the current set up, because I wouldn't be able to switch from the USSR to Ukraine, or from Yugoslavia to Croatia, or from South Yemen to Yemen, in a campaign. Is there a way that one could do it? If not, can it be added in the next patch, perhaps using a system similar to the "allies" one?

There is no way to switch country, nor would there ever be one.

The MBT campaign system is only meant to cover one nation for a brief period of time. 1970 to 2020 is simply ridiculous, it is a longer time even than WW2!.

WW2 has the Historical long campaign, since WW2 was actual history and so is documented.

The MBT long campaign is simply there to cover a sensible period of time for a what-if situation, such as WW3. In which case a time frame of perhaps 2-3 months would be reasonable, if you posited no use of nukes. 2-3 days if they were used, and no actions worth playing as a "game".
