Every factions characteristics do not mean to be the same.
For example, soviet IL-2 is way too UP compare to other airplanes.
Or USF or UKF cannot have stock map hack, rocket artillery, heavy tank like OKW.
And OKW can upgrade top machinegun to anti-infantry and anti-air without going doctrine.
By versus, you try to compare two abilities while ignoring the rest of factions capabilities just because you know you won't win argument by doing so.
here i go.
the IL 2 cost less there for and can and will wipe squads with around 70% hp
if you can reveal a small portion of the map i would not call it a map hack. the partisan doc abillty, the g43 upgrade interrogation and the signal relay are map hacks, the IR ht is as much as a maphack as a reacon plane (take away the muni cost and the durability). ukf have the valentine tank with the same but better "map hack" even tho in a bad doc atm but still.
ukf have mortar pits, bofor barage, 2 free howies witch with some commanders counter all non veichle based arty, and can even shoot in the FOW and be buffed buy the anvil specialization. i would take this over the pwerfer or stuka any day.
tell me would you rather have the mg or the buffs that the tank commader gives? i think all of us would pick the tank commander.
thing is that ukf does everything other armies do but it does it better.
double brens, double pitas, best healing in the game, 5 man upgrade, repair unit high dps for low cost witch can take two brens and an lmg with anvil, can destroy cover, a sinper that can couter the 222, an at gun that has more accuracy then other at guns, has fast and cheap teching, best medium tank in the game for its price, best tank destroyer (+tulips), best repairs in game, a pak 43 copy with brace witch can pen world objects with its special shot and spot for its self with units inside or when near the retreat point, a retreat point where you can take wepons and upgrade it to a repair station with a commnader and it can drop arty, best offmaps in the game etc.. the list goes on and on. this shows that if brits lack one thing like a snare on the main inf they make it up with 3 more things.
the point is these two abilites are the same but one is soooooo muche better that its op while the other is usless.
