I´m neither under NDA, nor have I played the alpha:

So my wild guess is either

- no Sniper counter,
- or a weakness to flamer pioniers and mortars and maybe Paks. It´s no secret they have emplacements,
- or difficulties to fight weapon teams such as MGs and mortars due to a lack of early artillery.

Warm or cold?

tHe reason is because relic had a ton of morons who can barely play the game join the alpha.

Close, but their main weakness is missing. Think more globally about how Relic should design Brits to complement weaknesses and outweigh strengths of current allied factions in team games and you would find answer.

Give them stock infantry that doesn't scale like crap into the late game?

Unsurprising that Commando Regiment was most popular. It was the only one available for a while

:P

Ostheer rape the hell out of Brits, and I hate it.


I'm assuming mortar+ sniper is just too much?

wouldn't take them numbers too seriously i had like 3 games of 4v4 and none of 3v3 in the alpha since it was very limited.

lmao yeah relic invited all scrubs and no top players. lmao I played pretty much every top 10 player on the leader board

From what I've read their weakness seems to be four man squads?

The OH sniper is balanced with a RoF meant to be effective against six man squads, so I could see it being stupidly effective against a faction based around four man squads.

I love this "Relic only invited bad players to the Alpha" meme. Where does this come from, every top 1000 player with a chip on their shoulder or something? If you have a shred of insight when it comes to game design, it's that average and bad players *gasp* play the game too! Intelligently, Relic wanted players of all calibers and inclinations to be a part of the Alpha test. You don't design a game solely for one insipid slice of a game's community.

But sure, go with that narrative if it makes you feel better. Just ignore the fact that plenty of players like Dusty and Lemon were part of the Alpha, too.

tHe reason is because relic had a ton of morons who can barely play the game join the alpha. Players who will play badly no matter how balanced the faction is. The UKF was the faction with the most numerous and most broken abilities/units the game has ever seen. I just hope they balance it out before their release.


So only pros played Axis and noobs played UKF? woah, think its a communist conspiracy?

Don't know how you came to that conclusion, but by all means find any way you can to try and start chimping out at me.
