UKF - Know your commanders

None, because brits suck in 1v1.

Don't forget that British flamers do more damage against units in cover and buildings, +50% for cover and +100% for buildings. The flames also linger, unlike other flamer's "flames" do.

Croc has larger range because it has no turret for the flamer and costs an arm and a leg

Source? And all flamers already do extra damage to units in green cover I thought.

It has a 75mm Gun Turret though.

and it's slower and more expensive compared to the KV-8, imo it was fine in alpha once it's price was adjusted.

Nope, all flamers do normal damage to units in cover.

Wow where have you been playing the Brits?

You heard it here first guys, Katitof has already found out that Brits are terrible in 1v1 based on information from a months old Alpha.

Brits seem to just be "Fuck OKW: the faction".
They have their own bigger and better AT and flak emplacements, eliter commandos that melt elite Obers and ridiculous indirect fire call ins and general commander abilities.
Then you have the AVRE and Crocodile wiping up volks blobs and forward trucks to top it off.

In th the Alpha, they repriced it to 600 mp 180 fuel (from 700 mp). On the Churchill page of Relic blog, it shows its priced at 700mp 140 fuel at 12 CP, compared to kv-8 of 390 mp 145 fuel at whatever cp it comes at. I assume they must have nerfed the Croc between now and Alpha end to make it cost a bit less fuel than a kv-8?

The two croc commanders are going to be the "rare" commanders, so i dont think anyone will be able to tell its firepower until someone sacrifices enough goats and gets a commander from War spoils.

More expensive < Main gun+flamer, more HP, more armor, flamer range.

Nothing justifies driving on teller mine in front of double Paks at 50-60 range and killing them with flamer before they can even shoot twice.

The Croc may be a legit balance issue (not just against OKW) depending on whether or not they've nerfed it, but I would seriously not worry about the AT / Flak emplacements, there are definitely hard counters to those that OKW has access to.

I think you've played with different croc then I did.
Mine took ages to vet to get range increase and wasn't even close to 60 range.
Also, melted to 2 stugs in seconds.

Rethink your statement.
