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...

The comments are pure gold :D

Thanks for sharing Capiqua.

"British infantry are rugged and difficult to rout once they're dug in, but lack the versatility of Russian, American and German troops." More versatility than Russian infantry. :lolol:

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

Lets ignore the fact that croc is 12cp, pure AI tank(it have a pea shooter to scare off that assaulting 222s!) and wasp requires tech, which means it will have short window of opportunity because of lights.

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.

Talking about the gun including the vehicles armed with it.The firefly is armed with a 17pounder. So is the Comet. Late game you are probably facing 17ps only. At least it looked like that to me.

The 17 Pounder is certainly not essential for the British.

EDIT: Ohh, you mean in that sense. Then yeah, I guess.

Late game could consist of any of the three churchills as well. Im not sure what there is to be annoyed about, Brits have 3 stock 17 pounder wielding units while USF sobs in shame with its single Jackson.

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 :foreveralone:

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.

And dont forget tulip rockets. Its 50 muni to equip and 100 muni to use, but it is pretty darn potent...

I predicted the special snowflake. Not even surprised. 60 range and 240 damage on a turreted tank destroyer. Now even with more durability. Why would I even remotely consider building a Panther? The outrageous thing is that while also being an anti tank unit, the Panther is still stuck at 50 range with the excuse of having a turret. - While also having a shit rof.

Bonuses only for the 17 pounder, because reasons.

Give the Panther a normal reload or more HP.
