This is literally the first patch in so many years that the Brits have been the weakest faction. Cheers to it staying that way for as long as possible.

LOL, losing to rank 800+ players when you were formerly ranked 40 just shows how broken IS were in earlier iterations. While most other Brit players agree that Brits are weaker now, you're literally the only one dropping off by such insane amounts, probably because you got too used to abusing high armour UC + IS with early bolster -> ggez win. Brits have been a ridiculous faction for ages, with a combination of glaring roster holes and overly-powerful units cobbled together into a makeshift faction.
I'd rather they be slightly underpowered than go back to the days of rampant Brit cheese. This is literally the first patch in so many years that the Brits have been the weakest faction. Cheers to it staying that way for as long as possible.

This isn't true, there have been other tournaments where they were barely picked and lost almost every game where they were picked, then faced another rework (such as when Sappers were given a snare).
But thanks for at least being honest in saying that you prefer the game to exist in an unbalanced state.

I guess one could try the following:
AA/AEC no longer mutually exclusive, separate into 2 successive tech unlocks.
First research unlock AEC
Second research unlocks AA and redesign Valentine with new abilities and vet bonuses
Valentine toned down and become cheaper
Observation vehicle still available to the commander but as an upgrade
These changes aim to create a sort of "soviet" T3 intermediate that option that would allow UKF an AI vehicle.

I get that you're trying to be an edgelord but the current state of game balance is the best it's ever been, contrary to what you posit. No amount of Brit fanboi tears upon having your favourite faction nerfed slightly will justify reverting the faction to its previous bullshit levels.
You want Brits to have ridiculously overpowered units, while I would rather they fix the Brits to make it a playable faction. If Brits can't be a proper faction I'd rather they not even be played.

A reworked valentine sound very good.
Still, two successive tech requires to access to the valentine is too much, i think. With that high of requirement it will have to be quite strong to worth.
So, my suggestion will be two mutually exclusive tech give the choice between AEC and valentine with Bofor unlock after any of those tow researched. AEC will still be a fast AT vehicles while valentine being an AI infantry support tank with aoe profile close to T70 but less effective vs tank. It will have 2-3 AT shoots of HP with smoke pot but slow as a churchill.

The AA/AEC tech is dirty cheap adding another is hardly going to be "too much" it would still be less the T3 for soviet.
The point is to give UKF access to both a AI and AT vehicle that come earlier than medium tanks.
Valentine could get have good anti garrison gun and smoke rounds to help vs mgs.
And no units do not have to quite strong to be worth it, they need to bring something new to the table in this case it could be anti garrison utility.

I was confusing with the cost, AEC and bofor tech are 30 fuel totally so not that expensive, indeed.
So the next question is how will be the new valentine. What do you think about my proposal?

Well if on what to be historically accurate Valentine should be a slow infatry support tank similar to Churchill. So one could try to redesigned as a slow relatively well armored vehicle with AI role and good infatry synergy. Veterancy could focus on Armor/HP bonuses so that unit had little shock value and was counter productive to be spammed.
One could a utility like. Smoke round to stop MG fire, a timed ability that provided UKF infatry cover status without the actual received accuracy bonuses (the DPS cover bonus would apply).
Some of the issues with the current Valentine are that it had its damage increased without changing its profile and the gun is quite deadly and its mobility is also very high. It was part of the reason it was a problem when it could be spammed.

Buff infantry around seem more fit a command vehicle than a stock AI. For synergy with infantry, a smoke pot will be enough. I prefer a slow but more durable infantry tank as well, for historical accuracy.
