I've heard frequent reports that the new 45 munition Bren Guns are actually a DPS downgrade to the Infantry Section in certain circumstances.
Please could someone who knows the numbers (like Cruzz) confirm or deny this? I'd really rather not spend 45 munitions on making my squads worse. Is it a very situational thing (LMG42s are technically downgrade to Grens if you never keep them still for example) or are Brens just a flat out bad idea now?

They always did less damage in CQC. The last accuracy nerf didn´t change anything in that regard.
It´s still a no brainer to go for Brens if you can afford them. You always want to fight at the biggest range possible no matter if you have Brens or not. CQC with infantry sections needs to be avoided as much as pobbile. Bren upgrade doesn´t change that. Mid-range and long-range DPS boost with Brens is way more important than slightly lower CQC DPS.
So yes, go for Brens whenever you have the ressources to do so.

Bren get lower Far acc for double LMG like DP-28

Bren is superior to enfield from around range 4 and above.
At max range it is about 237% better.

Roughly how well do Bren Commandos match up against enemy elite infantry in a straight up shootout?
Is this accounting for the accuracy reduction?

1 Commandos bren has around 6.2-12 DPS
So 2 commandos bren are a bit less then 3 lgm42 and allot better than single lmg34 (8.9-14.2)for around the same mu cost.
One has to keep in mind that Ober have good long range k98 also while stens are bad at long range.

Yes these are the updated numbers according to cruzz.

Brens are not worth it full stop, either is 5man or nades. You're simply investing too much MP and fuel into now nerfed upgrades while your opponent rushes a medium tank. Brits already suck so you don't want to delay your tech even more.
If you want extra AI call in some commandos or build an extra vickers. Then rush out your tanks and try to claw back the game. (just don't fall into the comet trap)
