UKF - infantry units

Jump back to quoted post1 Aug 2015, 21:36 PMbraciszek

Commandos: a squad where each man has the cloaking capabiltiy of the Ostheer sniper, combined with ultra close range DPS.

For whatever reason, having an ambush "bonus" when attacking from cloak, increasing RoF, accuracy, DPS, god knows what. I had one sneak up on a puma from the front and the enemy got so scared as its health was dropping ridiculously from SMG's, and he smoked away from an AI infantry squad...

Also, you can camp behind any cover and wipe any squad/squads (plural) to win as well. Had a 3v3 where ally told us to stop using them because enemy was crying so bad from the chaos.

same with the firefly in that its only good with anti-tank roles as for 1v1 only September 3 will give us an idea whether or not a panther will win or lose in a 1v1 against a firefly. i'd be more interested to see if the comet tank could in a 1v1 match stand up to a panther

You mean the vehicle that had 74mm armor on the hull front? That´s less than a Panzer IV. A Panther should still make short process of that.

Like I'm not kidding. The most effective doctrines against British are Ostruppen and mobile defense.

Do not forget assgrens. British basic infantry is not that good outside of cover, so assgren based builds supported with flamer pios and 222 for light at into fast tanks are very effective against them.

Its not like you need regular grens for fausts anyway.

Yeah, assault grens and flame pio spam into a fast P IV.

Pay 2 Win dictates that brits must be an OP faction

I think the UKF will be nothing but another Relic commercial strategy. They will be OP at the start, have cool units, in order for people to buy the faction, then, in at most half a year, most of their units will be changed or/and nerfed. That happened to OKW, same phenomenon. That happened at a smaller scale with many ostheer or soviet doctrines, that were OP at the moment of release. They were cool and OP like hell, people bought them because they wanted to win, then Relic nerfed them, but meanwhile they cashed alot of money selling them.
That is why I am not buying british forces. Because it's just another strategy to squeeze money from us, while screwing up balance. I mean it would be ok if it was just about the money, but screwing up balance for profit it's crime in my book.

Well I see Gammon Bombs as an option. Plus I think I heard someone say the Bren Carrier has something but since it's NDA, I can't repeat it even though I'm not an Alpha Tester. Besides those things, I can't think of anything else based on what's released so far for early game.

is it too late to be an alpha tester?
