Pak fires faster? I remeber Cruzz saying all statt are 100% the same except the massive (lol) +50% accuracy. Its massive cheaper too so the vickers 20mp more is irrelevant. And you fight around a mortar put, if you have the same force u will win every fight around your mortar pit. Dont build it some Where Alone and Expect it to face roll they enemy like leigs and howies
Edit: didnt the sniper have a snare ability?! So ukf has a viable even long range snare Option.
I checked the stats (stat.coh2.hu) and the 6poudner's and Pak40's stats are indeed the same, including accuracy. Now there maybe is a hidden accuracy modifier, but if there isn't, the lesser cost is justified by an inferior vet3 ability.
I can't see how vickers 20 mp is irrelevant when brits lack manpower so much. You shouldn't justify UP things (vickers) with OP things (6pounder).
If you fight around a mortar pit, you will indeed win every fight with equal forces, that's what it is supposed to do, and the case is the same for regular mortars.
Sniper has a snare ability... which engine crits only light vehicles of which the only actually dangerous one is the Flak HT. It doesn't really help with tanks, and it is locked behind an optional T2 unit. UKF doesn't have reliable AT besides the 6pounder and Comet (firefly 10 sec reload

, so it really has to be good (although maybe not that good in the case 6pounder really has +50% accuracy).
