To the already long list of Brit OPness, I will add the ability of tanks to throw granades.
Just WHY only on Brits? I think it is a cool idea, but every other tank in the game should do that too.
Soviet, OST or USF tankers deserve this ability more than Brits.

Yesterday I was chasing a vet3 comet with a Panther and the comet threw a grenade which stuck to the Panther, with the countdown number following the Panther movement (vCoH sticky bomb style).

On a separate occasion in the same game the comet threw a grenade and my Panther passing over it got a "crew shocked" critical.

Yeah, I hate that. It is simply stupid.

I can't speak for all of them, but I'm pretty sure native Canadians in the present day have been sufficiently long divorced from the United Kingdom of Great Britain politically, culturally, etc. to not regard themselves as British.

British-sympathetic? Entirely possible.

Why don't brits get smoke or rifle nades? Why don't brits get an AT snare? Why do engies get no demo charges or flamers? this is just adding to british UPness

Cause they have other things to compensate ?

Minus AT snare, that every faction should have ...

Do you really want this discussion? Why do USF tanks get crew repair? Why do Ostheer tanks get good speed ability with vet1 while soviet only get capping points? You could make such a long list out of this, it is all about asymmetrical factions. It would be pretty boring if all tanks would have the same abilities, if they all could throw grenades, get speed at vet1 and so on. Asymmetrical factions result in units that are not all on par of course but it is still better than having cloned units only.

Dudes!
Try the Sapper's "destroy obstacle" ability on wire/tank traps.

You have no idea how many games I've saved thanks to a very successful flank

This is just a gimmick.


I would be more worried about their silly speed.

Yes because the post was totally "OMG GUISE THIS COMET THREW NADEZ AT ME OMG" and not "here is a few odd things I noticed about the Comet vet3 grenades".

Queen Elizabeth is still the Queen of Canada (Commonwealth Realms) MingLee She still has that title lol Although a rather useless title it is something that connects Canada and the UK a bit does it not?

Yes yes all Ceremonial but it is still a connection in my opinion.

Fun Fact of the day: The King of Spain has power over the military as stated in the Constitution of Spain.
