I dont desires such kind of squad i do aware how balance works. Its just that "BAR copy" is so weird on a defensive long range squad with penalty out of cover, BAR works on riflemen because they are...riflemen. and using a doc that offers ability to skip teching racks but teching racks anyway is not so stonks
If one equips infatry section with "BARs" they are no longer a "long range defensive infatry" and should not be used as one. This is similar G43 grenadier upgrade with which they are no longer a "long range defensive infatry".
And UKF have other infantries like the Officer and the R.En. that can also use the Vickers K
The original issue was that Vcicker's K and Bren's overlapped and did not offered anything different.
Making the weapon work differently was an improvement over the original design (although bren should be the "assault rifle" weapon and Vicker the LMG, since the Vickers K ).
