for mortar pit this does not apply , i just encourage you to try it with the cheat mod for once and see the difference.
If a brit is half competent he will just easily push you back anyway , the whole reason these get build is to easily put pressure somewhere else while wasting someone else he's time to a point he's unable to support a different front , like who would build a AEC when cause off the 4 vs 4 map size a AT gun can cover a entire lane.
And no , there is maybe 99 ways to delete a mortar pit but not a bofors , it's actually fairly limited if you ask me , especially on a 4 vs 4 lane.
Let me give you some knowledge, a brit player does not push not until bolster and double brens or they lose as they are terrible without their cover bonus, but strong asf early game with green cover, we use cover and play a delicate game of position. Almost always in a defensive very conservative way the only offense is the UC leading the way for me to hopefully get IS into a favorable position in cover controlling the fuel. How do the brits push you against mg42 ost or overwhelming out numbered infantry numbers thats guaranteed as okw when i just explained to you why you dont push with brits. The brit also could not of rushed bolster, weapon upgrades and is prolly down an IS squad further out numbered if he built a bofors.
Kill a bofors = double raks, double leigs, double ost mortars, paks, smoke bofors with said leigs rush in volks throw lava nades, medium tanks, idiot brit player will try to repair said emplacement that was worthless to build in first place with REs and will probably get wiped as they take extra damage while repairing, and also are not in the battle because they are busy repairing a worthless emplacement, because it did nothing the 2 mins it did exist. Also there is this thing once they take barages called brace it last a long time and it cannot fire only take ones leig to make it do this, then you send in at guns lava nades etc.
All of these counter units are almost always built against brits anyway so its not like your forced to build them to counter it you should of anyway. The real sim city is okw with double lieg abuse but thats always been fine because thats how the community balance team enjoys it rampid in 4v4. God forbid when double pak howies were good and the only counter was a non doct rocket arty piece your gonna make anyway versus a deal with leig spam all game if i dont pick a rocket arty doct.
