show me replay that:
a)is from 1 vs 1
b)is agains clever opponent with good awareness and strategy
c)you played Brits and build 2 emplacements (or one)
d)you won

This is a game against Migrefla (who is a good player) where I do use emplacements to good effect. Even with some sloppy plays by me heh.
Watch here..

The thing about mortar pits (which I do actually like to a degree) is the toughness and trouble the enemy has to go through to destroy it with normal mortars and Liegs. If they are bombarding that position while yours is still supporting you have an advantage and can push them off. Leading you to repair and refit.

It's always about good placement. Keep a mortar pits back where it can support a VP or two and it'll force the Axis player to move up and attack it. I do admit it does require a decent amount of trouble and some rng to keep it repaired and protected.

On Topic: Churchill change is not as bad as I previously thought after some more games with it. Still gives medium tanks and lighter a thrashing but now dedicated anti-tank guns will have a easier time dealing with it.

KV - 8 was good. Still a massive threat to infantry on flanks, in buildings, and surprise attacks. Not quite wipe everything it use to be but the building damage to infantry is still high.

While Commandos dps nerf was heafty, they are far from being a bad unit. They still excel as a cloaking, behind enemy lines squad that can cause havoc when used correctly. Now you have to be more careful against close range squads that can compete with them. Other long range squads will still get beat out handly.

The nerf just made them worst in direct engagements which they never were meant for with the expection of duel fire on the move Brens. They're still amazing as a flanking or ambushing squad.

Ok well to Answer this for the 3rd time

They are the same. There's literally almost no difference in any statistical category between the 2 that would make you pick one over the other.

The only difference is the firing sound

Try search function next time pls

Really? I couldn't find the stats on coh2 stats but I always assumed Brens for medium to close range and Vickers long. It is odd. Is anything different about them?

Currently IS have a bug where once hitting veterancy 3, they have four weapon slots thanks to the Scoped Lee Enfields. This leads them to dropping Brens or Paits before being wiped which leads to enemy squads gaining weapons yet not wiping squads and costing you munitions. Guards use to have the same issue with their PTRS & DP - 28s. This can be quite easily reproduced by hitting vet 3 and simply losing members below four men when equipped with upgraded weapons.

( Do note: I didn't figure this out but learned from Migrefla who told me of it. Just putting it out there as a rather big issue for IS.)

Here is a replay of it. (Fast forward to the purchasing of the weapon upgrades for the Brits and you'll see some IS dropping them.) There are some times I did just lose the squad though heh.

That is surprising Sappers Bren does better than the IS Bren. I suppose this is balanced out by IS having rifles further increasing their long range dps while Sappers only have one weapon (bren) being effective at mid to long range. Or does the Sappers bren do that much dps? On another note: how good is the Commando bren?
