Indeed. It really does make more sense, especially from a gameplay point of view. I even would go as far as saying that in their current state, Pak 43's, Howitzers and even flak guns are more durable in the long run.

Yes, they can be sniped. Yes, they can be decrewed from small arms and raging fire. But at least those weapons have a far higher chance of being salvaged afterwards, saving a lot of resources. You don't have to drop another 450 Manpower to get your Pak 43 back most of the time.

The British for the most part cannot do this. Their emplacements are more likely to be destroyed than decrewed. When your army is starved of Manpower for most of the match, it's insanely difficult to get those support weapons back up and running. Particularly Mortars, which I like to steal from the Wehrmacht any chance I get, since I can get more use out of them. Having access to Mortar Smoke is so essential in an assault when your infantry are lackluster out of cover.

While we are on the topic of Flames, they really ought to revert the Flames sticking around for 20 seconds. I was using a Wasp while defending my Forward Supply Station and it got caught in the DOT. I was helpless as I watched my building burn down from my own Wasp's three second burst...

Wow... Never noticed that one. Thanks for spotting that.

Another bug I found today is a graphical error involving BARs when picked up by Infantry Sections. It seems they have mistaken their captured BARs for Bren Guns and miraculously inserted their clips at the top of their guns.

I feel there's a need to discussion this pressing issue with British Tanks as it doesn't allow you to take full advantage of their skills. I'm sure all of you have noticed that at times, you tell your tanks to fire a smoke shell to defend your flanks and have them completely ignore you. Or you tell your AEC Armoured Car to disable the treads of Panzers but have that order seemingly ignored too?

This only happens in a combat situation. There are no issues when there's no enemy within shooting range. If you use an ability on a target that the turret is not facing at the time, chances are it will never fire off. If you use an ability while the turret IS facing your target, you have a much higher chance of firing it off.

There's was a user in this forum that suggested that the unit's targeting AI might be the cause of the disruptions. Interrupting the ability if the AI decides to change it's focus on something else while the ability is winding up.

Now if I remember correctly from my coding days, there should be a line of coding that makes it difficult to interrupt an ability once it has been triggered. Perhaps this line of coding is missing from the majority of British Vehicles?

Here's a list of all affected units...

AEC III Armoured Car - Tread Breaker
Cromwell Tank - Smoke Shells
Comet Tank - Smoke Shells/WP Shells

If we at LEAST fix the Tread Breaker interruption, this will go a long way to helping PIATs become useful again. Can only do so much when using attack ground over shot blockers.

I've been agonizing over this since the British came out and hoping a hotfix will be implemented for them soon.

P.S. Hopefully I will be able to enter this topic again, unlike the .50 Cal Trench Bug Thread where I keep getting a "Forbidden" error in my own topic. Can't enter Mr.Someguy's Response Thread Either... Fingers Crossed...
