Other than that, I really only agree on the Bren Carrier part. I have the feeling the unit does literally 0 damage without upgrades, which are a big reliability due to the unit losing value with every minute that passes until it becomes obsolete as soon as your opponent fields anything heavier than a Kübel. The Kübel has some nice utility through suppression, which makes up for its squishiness. It's an early game unit that does a specific job. The Carrier however has no specific role in the early game and is useless by the time the upgrades are rdy. Pretty weird unit actually.
But I fear making Inf able to shoot out of it would make early game against OKW a bit too strong.

The Universal Carrier actually puts a really good hurt on Volks, their rifles don't even dent it and that stock MG mows them down one model at a time. Yes, against Faust from Grens it stinks, but it can punish early Volks effectively.
Top kek, m8. Are you sure you are not mixing it up with the damage your IS put out while the carrier was shooting as well? And the fact that small arms inflict low damage is intended. It's the tradeoff for having no utility.

Once i had brit sniper in yellow cover with inf section in the open on hold fire to counter snipe ost sniper, ost sniper opened on me, i immediately turn hold fire off(sniper were selected prior ost sniper shot), you can imagine the rest.
Only unit capable of reliably countering snipers for brits is commandos on hold fire.

It was the carrier versus two squads of Volks in yellow cover and the carrier took about 10% damage, but forced both squads of Volks off at 2 models left each. Yeah it was the real deal. The only thing I worry about buffing the Brit early game is how it will affect the OKW match-up.
The whole land grab scheme doesn't quite work so well if they rush a Universal Carrier. It can force off Volk squads and once their units start jumping in houses good luck getting them out. Hopefully the Incendeary grenades coming will help, but right now I think the Brits are actually okay versus OKW, but severely struggle against Ostheer.

Maybe the Bren carried having the mg Upgrade stock(making it into a well armored kubel that could chase) as well as having a Target table for snipers would solve aloooot of problems?
1. Removing the vickers upgrade would mean one less upgrade option which takes aways decision making which is always a bad thing in coh2 imo
2. The bren is actually a really good unit vs OKW even without the upgrade. It allows you to dominate the early game due to the lack of fausts. Giving it the vickers from the start would make it completely overpowered vs OKW

We need 250-260 mp IS w/ cheaper reinforce. that would fix alot of issues

here's a tip on dealing with UC: flank it. The bren gun is fixed foward and the rear armor is weaker. At the least you can put it out of commission until they get a sapper, by which point you should have a raketen and schreck. .

I however strongly believe buffing the Brit sniper is not the answer. Perhaps the Ostheer sniper needs a re-camo time nerf to allow for countersnipes.
There is a huge manpower issue for brits in 1v1. You feel like you have the answer to everything, you just don't have a chance to use it.
After wasp, glider, croc and bofors are nerfed, Brits will be in the dark age.

There is your balance relic.. Simple and easy to bring Brits out of cheese.
Ost mortars an okw mortars constantly wipe Brits, anyone else notice this

I agree with Barton's points.

a 6 seconds recloak time is simply too long. You could argue that 3 seconds is more reasonable recloak for the ost sniper but the british would still be stuck at 6 seconds recloak time.
