My fellow Brits!
I have serious problems with long games as UKF. Usually they look like this:

1. I'm easily securing VP with Vickers and/or Bofors and 2 IS. Some mortar or forward HQ are usually done aswell.
2. Doing some sniper/at (what is necessary)
3. Trying to get Comet ASAP, if that is impossible, I call cromwell as a flanker
4. PROBLEM APPEARS: Germans with panzerwerfers/stukas zu fuss/ Stuka bomb or some other sort of nuke destroys all of my emplacements and forward HQ.
5. Game is lost, as I'm left with Comet, 2 IS and sniper.

Is it something wrong with my tactic or it's just how this game work ?
Any tips from more experienced players ?

Try to think of emplacements as temporary area denial / mp bleeders in 4v4.

When the counters come out to kill the emplacements, build to capitalize on the lack of front line power.

Brits have the best late game imo (sometimes okw can be better) if you can just keep mustering comets. get those babies vetted up and nothing can stop them. 3 is usually the best, escpecially with their white phoshorus shells and great mobility.

Dont build them. They are situational, not mandatory.

The emplacements are meant to hold the enemy while you get your Comet/Firefly s.. In 4v4s, DO NOT get a Cromwell if you're playing UKF, and you don't have to build emplacements as well get a trench and a Vickers in it.. There you go an emplacements for you at the cost of 50 MP. If the game has gone to the late game and it depends what you have and what the enemy has... if the enemy has Panthers,KTs,Tigers then getting double or triple Firefly could work for you. You just have to play more to get better mate.
