Current state of emplacements is terrible.
Before brace nerf it was hard to kill, yes, but it was easy to counter.
You did not need to kill it, to counter it.
One ISG/Mortar shooting at it was perfect counter.
Your mortar did not get any kills (shooting at emplacement) but on the other hand you forced emplacement to be on brace mode all the time so no kill for them.
It was simple and very good solution in my opinion.
1 unit shuting down another it perfect way.
Currently it's terrible.
No one will spend 400MP for immobile mortars which die fairly quickly once brace is down.
Bofors? Again, 1 mortar is enough to put it in brace mode.
It's like taking 3 units from Brits (that 17 pounder pop cap) which leaves them without mortars, mid game unit to hold the ground and without famous 17p.
Current early-mid game is dying.
No flamers to clear buildings (WASP will help until 222), no SMGs, no assaut rifles, no mortars, no smoke, no nades, no mid game unit to hold the ground (222, flamenwerfer, Stug E; 251/17, Puma, Luchs; Stuart, AA truck; Quad, T70).
This hole should be filled by Bofors or Armored Car but both are useless in current state, which leads us to desperate rush for Centaur because there is no other way to hold in front of HMGs and LMGs.
What's more, it's not like you can afford 400MP mortar pit 
I'm still amazed how 2 mortars covered by sandbags, which cannot retreat are losing to 2 mortars on the open field, without any special cover 
They should be hard to deal when using tanks or mortars, fairly easy when using late game arty like railway and very easy to infantry as a reward for getting so close.
+1 pretty much Brits are unplayable right now.
They nerfed the wasp to hell that was brits only early game surival attack tool. Now the flamer does almost no dmg and the carrier never really did any dmg what so ever without vickers or flamer.
IS are only good in cover and cannot really attack by themselves so many times early game there just useless unless your on a map with a lot of cover. Houses don't really work now cause of volks new grenade which rapes IS in or out of buildings. Not to mention the leig wiping your costly MP IS and making emplacements useless.
Other than 6 pounder they have no early AT. Piats are worthless against any player who has half a brain.
Sniper gets wiped by lieg and does not have steal body armor like ost sniper.
Against decent axis player I see no way you survive long enough to get to the centuar and when you do its counters are already there or you've lost soo much map control its GG. 3v3 and 4v4 are the only mode I find brits viable atm but it is a bit like your team is playing a man down the first half of the game.
