Let me guess, you already forgot how brits were pre AEC buff?
Let me refresh your memory:
This is with the emplacements, bren spam, strong AT gun(which never had free sprint and now costs MORE then back then), crocs, commandos(which were nerfed since) and cromwells.
You know what is a singular change between that curve and current one, which looks like this:
Hm?
Let me enlight you-AEC.
Its the only thing that keeps brits in the game atm.
Yes, it overperforms, but you're delusional if you believe brits are fine otherwise and without it.
What are you going to excuse that with?
Top 150 players not playing beta?
Or it not being ATs for 1v1s?
Seems you are the only men who still believes in those charts. If you would play 1v1 or ESL matches, you could knew that, the british meta changed and now is not based on AEC. What meta is it? But let me remind you some facts, the only problem brits have with Osttruppen/Sniper combo. Of course, brits learn play against that with bren CV and his free recon to don't allow ostheer's sniper do something. Of course, later we have strong vet 1 vickers with extra range, gained even in trenches and arty cover to kill every axis attack. Yeah, relic didn't buff it like AEC but ppl learn to play that. Did you knew that? Of course you not, because you are not playing 1v1 NOW.
