Summary: 3 active capping units with 212 MP floating vs 5 active capping units with 803 MP floating... I think I found the "problem" with Brits. Although, may as well be Simon's fault for losing an entire IS and his first sniper. Who knows.

EDIT: rofl at that RNG on the retreating Commando Squad around 23:10ish

If you are able to save up 800 MP you either have won the game already or lost it and the Tiger won't save you.

USF early and mid game is so strong you won't have the MP in late game to call in the Tiger without losing map control entirely - unless the USF player is bad and not playing to the strengths of the faction. And then you can defeat him without needing the Tiger. Period.

Kinda sucks that we can only play on the new maps as well. Took some time to get used to the Brits and the maps alike... Heidelberg looks awesome, but needs a winter version. :B

Well, the Brits play weird. The AT emplacement is incredibly strong and knocked out a Panther in three hits. Ofc, that's what it should do. Emplacements eat your pop cap like nothing else.

If anything, I feel Brits are kinda limited in what they can do and very similar to USF, but without the backbone infantry that excels early and mid game. The damage in cover is really nice tho. Funnily enough I had the most problems against Ostheer mortars so far. 4 man per Squad increase the damage you take if one dies. Teching the bigger squad size delays your tech. UKF is basically the most skill reliant faction in the early game I think. Lose one Infantry Section or your early sniper and game over, since everything that gives you and advantage in the field is reliant on MP and Fuel it seems.

As far as I can see it, there are basically two ways to tech atm. You can either go armored car in T2 or save your fuel for T3 and take a medium tank, depending on how the game goes. Every squad loss in the early game sets you back big time, since your cheap infantry for capping missions comes with T2 at the earliest, Royal Engineer style.

I don't like that you can build multiple forward positions but have to unlock the retreat option again and again. The Firefly looks and sounds awesome, nuff said. The flamer range is great but it is now an area-of-denial weapon than anything else, so I think the range is justified.

And I am confused by the Commander Abilities. Didn't they say those share cooldowns? I assumed every single one of them did, but not. Only the ones of the same type. Still didn't get around to using them much since I was already kinda overstrained from trying to manage my units and using them correctly. -.-

OKW is horribly designed, thats it..

I wouldn't say that. It's just that having lower fuel income makes them float manpower because ppl want vehicles and not 10 volksquads, which in turn makes reinforcing and getting indirect fire on the field easy for them. People who preserve their units well with OKW tend to have a large pool of MP to take from in late game, whereas other factions tend to bleed more.
