Feels more like a doctrinal thing. Not too late to put it in lend lease assault lol.
IMO it'd come too late to be useful as a stock upgrade in hammer and sections already have brens for long range anyway though. I'd rather see a nondoctrinal cqc unit in some form or other since brits only have sections and only have brens as far as anti-infantry small arms, but then again that'd come too late to be super useful if it was in hammer too.
+1 about hammer in general too.
I've always thought it was pretty unfair that it was borderline bulletproof. I always make one right after a vickers in 1v1s since it's really nice to be able to damage/bleed infantry without taking any damage yourself, but now IMO armor nerf and self repair nerf might delay it a bit since you won't be able to repair it that well (IMO a good thing overall).
- Nerfing UC so hard means 1) Germans don't need AT against it anymore.
2) It won't get built. At all. Since it has no use at all late-game. 3) That means
either bolster-spam or Vickers-spam.
That's not diversity.
Soviets can do 2+3+3 (8! Units early on)(instant T1 or T2)
Ostheer can do 2+3 (5!)(+Assault Grenadiers) so 6?
Brits used to be able to do 3. Now it's down to 2.
If Infantry Squad is further maligned then it's down to 1.
Either stop with the brit nerfing, or reduce it to 0 and delete the faction.
