Hi Satfkeh,
I don't have a problem with the Lt.s. They are expensive for such fragile units and without them Brit infantry is pretty lame. Sure the Infantry Sections are tough, but they are also EXPENSIVE to both build and reinforce. And slow to reinforce. And if you have played Brit you know that Lt.s are much harder to keep alive than snipers.
Brits might be OP, but they are hard to play. All those abilities means a lot of micro and a lot of remembering which buttons to push.
In general it is a hard thing to create factions that play fundamentally differently from US and Wehr (and each other) and still be balanced against all the others.
I have some issues with PE, few of them major. I think Scorched Earth is F-d. One should not be able to easily, cheaply, and quickly break VPs, especially not with a fast moving unit that is impervious to mines. That just breaks the game. Maybe strat/resource points, but not VPs.
I think Panther Battle Groups should be limited to a 1 PBG call in at a time. Sure they are expensive to tech up to, but at 1200 mp they are ridiculously worthwhile afterwards. At PE income levels that means 4 min for each PG as compared to 3 mins to a single US Pershing. Or compare each of those additional 1200 mp to the 1260mo/270 fuel (4.5 min for the mp, 6-9 min for the fuel) you would need for 3 Shermans (which would you rather have?). Vet them with defensive and they are just beasts; tanks that are better than a US tank in every way and can be made even better with vet. And eventually you don't need fuel to buy them.
I am not sure yet how I feel about the Bergetiger. Couple with PBGs and it is no wonder you face a sea of Panthers in multi-player.
Hey AvNY
I don't think Brits are that hard to learn to play
But you are right, they give a nice variety in gameplay. Lieutenants are pretty hard to kill if you ask me, if they are in the back of the "blob"
However, even for blobbing there is a counter.
The PBG for PE is fine i think. Playing as US without AT guns isnt a smart plan most of the time. Just think every time there is a counter for almost everything
