UKF solders. What do you think about?

And yet here you are complaning about stats of inf. from the worst faction ATM?

They are the only base line inf. with NO AT nade. Use that fact wisely instead of jumping into tommies behind green cover.

UKF infantry is good, but inadequate to carry the faction.

UKF is pretty much a meme at this point and a bad one at that. Idiotic teching, the emplacements have been nerfed. It's quite literally unplayable.

You need to spend 250mp and 50fuel (iirc) to have a fifth man, and 90muni in order to have decent firepower. AEC is way too underwhelming to take it seriously, and you can only play that faction if and only if you have 3 specific commanders to support you. Also, good luck playing with no snares on mainline infantry.

Cromwell? Pff, the other guys have Panzer IVs. Centaur AA? Good if the enemy blobs, shit in every other scenario. Churchill? Kinda nice, but way too costly for what it gives.

You are left with only Firefly which is excellent and Comet which is also excellent. If you go Royal Engies and get the British Sturmtiger it's nice.

TLDR; UKF infantry is fine, but the faction in general is in disarray.

Tommies are a good squad per se, but they have some significant tradeoffs as others mentioned:

- they need to be in cover to get their massive RoF bonus and -5% received accuracy. Out of cover they are inefficient for 280mp

- no snares

- you need to invest 35-50 fuel (bolster and racks) in side upgrades for them if you wanna keep up in the mid game. That is super expensive and can cripple your vehicle economy

- due to their mediocre vet bonuses they scale horribly into the late game, to a point where it's impossible to win vs vetted grens, fusiliers, obers and JLI unless you use doctrinal abilities like the command vehicle or "Assault"

You should give them Vickers K LMGs instead and keep them close to a M3, they have performed much better this way for me and are more flexible than bren sections

I don't understand, why would you even consider getting Vickers K over Bren for a long range squad. It makes sense giving it to Officer, Raid Tommies and perhaps engies, but not for Regular Tommies.
