To reinforce the cromwell's role as a raider, I believe the cromwell should receive a reload buff in exchange for a minor penetration nerf.

I'm afraid I can't agree on this suggestion since the Cromwell already has an amazing rate of fire when it fully vets. Might get OP.

I dislike callin strafes in general because of how powerful they are and how little skill they require.

No offense but I guess the fact the player had the skill to hold out for the munitions needed to activate the ability counts for nothing? Something like that shouldn't fall into the same category as units. Expensive abilities like this need to be powerful. That being said, I find the Soviet IL-2s scarier than the American P47 and their drunken aim with Rockets. They really are a joke for the cost.

Sigh... Seeing as to how the British Infantry were known to be accurate shooters in WW2, it really is a shame to see them this way. Paying 90 Munitions for 2 Brens that perform the same as 2 DP28s for 75 Munitions.

I'm not against a damage nerf but the Bren has officially lost it's character as a highly accurate LMG... While I do appreciate the work you guys do, Mr.Smith, this change is disappointing. Is there really no way to make them do short, accurate bursts that do the same DPS you are trying to achieve?

It may seem trivial to quibble about such things but as someone who likes reading and learning about WW2, authenticity is important too.

Ignoring ‘fairness’ do brits actually have a major balance issue with the OST sniper?

They will after the 100% accuracy vs Garrisons go through.

While accuracy may seem safer to mess around with, it still has a ton of variables. Lowering the amount of shots per burst might make damage more predictable in my opinion.

I'm still not convinced with decreasing accuracy being the only option. Not to mention there's two separate LMGs that the British have that just aren't different enough from each other. Burst fire could be key to finally making each of them unique.

Bren = Highly Accurate but Short Bursts
Vicker's K = Longer Bursts but Lower Accuracy

Bren could be a good Anti-Infantry upgrade that improves a Section overall that' quite good at hitting their targets at all ranges but only fire very short bursts. A good offensive LMG. Maybe we could even make it almost like a 3-shot-burst version of the G43 with less punch per shot of course. The possibilities are exciting to think about!

Vickers K could fire long, inaccurate bursts that can't hit much at range but be good at twarting close-range assaults from the enemy. In other words, a good defensive LMG.

I wish there was a chance to play around with it before the patch comes out and tweak it until it works well for everyone.

EDIT: Nonetheless... Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. I would be more than happy with the Bren's current accuracy remaining and long range Burst Fire being halved.
