First Review British Forces

as I wait for their glacial paced advance like I'm playing The Settlers (attacking with buildings...).
... As adversaries they make me feel like I'm taking up the slack of an AI in a tower defence game, slamming waves of units into the wall of their buildings...

When you set up your 17-pounder emplacement in a contested zone, and watch advancing enemy tanks pop like overripe melons. - See more at: http://www.gamewatcher.com/reviews/company-of-heroes-2-the-british-forces-review/12298#sthash.Q9eFWVxa.dpuf

Am I the only one annoyed that 17 pounders seemingly make 2/3rd of your anti tank force?

I hope that´s just my (limited) impression.

Compared to the Pak 43, 17pdr costs fuel 75(!) for a immobile emplacement and 400 MP. Another thing is that is has pay through Sabot Rounds to shot through shot blockers unlike the Pak 43. Pak 43 also has super turbo stun everything round. At least it does have flares to reveal the area. I remember so many OST and OKW players raging that my 17 pdr emplacement was penetrating and destroying their Tigers and Panthers. I guess only Axis can have the best anti-tank weapons

I think USF players will be crying over Firefly more than the 17pdr emplacement considering it does 240 damage, more armor (for what its worth with Allies), as mobile, increased damage at Vet 3, and HP compared to the Jackson. Same range too for only 30 more fuel. Has a 9 second reload it seems however. So it looks like Jackson will be better against medium tanks than heavy tanks but can still use HVAP rounds for increased damage and penetration.
