2v2 Double Brits Guide

P2W confirmed


Good guide but there's a problem: skill group this guide is oriented to for the late game (pass the first cromwell). The first part is mostly cookie build, try to survive as well as you can and rush a cromwell. This is how you should mostly play.
I think most people won't find it easy surviving the late game on just cromwells, on the same way most people won't be able to play with just spamming T34-76s.

PD: this will work (late late game) till Relic decide to balance both Artillery cover and Concentrated fire operation.

The idea is to strike hard and fast using 2 players worth of Cromwells and just overpower the enemy before they reach their late game potential. If you're too timid and don't commit to pushes every now and then you'll allow the enemy to get armor. If youre to zealous and run into mines you'll lose your armor for nothing. This is where player skill comes into play, just having good game sense on when to strike and how. Obviously CFO and artillery cover make attacking SIGNIFICANTLY easier

I know, that's why i'm saying this might not work away from top 200 AT. Cause all what you describe is hard to be seen on the mid to lower spectrum of the ladder.

Overall gameplan:

Turtle until the 11-12 minute mark, which is when you and your teammate will be able to afford a Cromwell. Use the Cromwell together for maximum shock value and to quickly kill and wipe units in their first engagement. Continue to amass Cromwells, and utilize the full extent of your teams offmap abilities to completely crush enemy resistance.

The only glaring points that stand out to me are crom spam and tactical support cheese.

Early game seems very much theory crafting, what about flame HT? mortar HT? Snipers? in my experience with randoms ostruppen/gren spam into quick flame HT can clear your early trenches and mortar pit in seconds, so a reactionary build dependent on what factions your facing is probably better.

You talk about countering racketens and snipers with the command vehicle recon but don't even factor in a bren in your build (which imo is best brought out early so you can do some building clearance and MP bleed). As shrek bait as it is, it's still cost effective if you bring it out early and later sacrifice it for command vehicle recon.

I agree that tactical support is the best odds UKF have at the moment, but a certain Wehr doctrine with mortar HT and 30muni pixie dust dispensers (that make LoS dependant arty cover useless) counter this to a tee. The tiger at the end is just the icing on the cake backed up by panzerwerfers.

One day lelic will buff this faction

Is it really theorycrafting if I'm on a 20 streak and have beaten high ranked teams?
The problem with the bren is your delaying your cromwell and also spending manpower on a unit that doesn't pack as much firepower as a section or vickers. Watch the replays and vods to see it actually in action

It's pretty absurd to be in a situation where British team games rely on taking out the enemy before they get their momentum up. Like it's such a late game faction by design and if you need to take advantage of the fact that Cromwells can arrive reasonably fast to be competitive in team games with it there is definitely something wrong with the faction overall. The British DO suck, even if this one strategy is viable competitively.

Will be testing it out later on anyway. Hope it goes well coz I'm sick of losing.

What would be the suggestion against early OST snipers? Given UKF are meant to hold down a section of the map a sniper can constantly poke at them. Besides the usual trying to counter snipe what other suggestions do you have?

But why ? I don't understand?

But Lemon, with new AEC, are there any changes in your strategy?
