I admit then that I know next to nothing about 2v2 and up.

Brits are responsible for the most bullshit and crap experiences of this game:

comet swarms
Arty cover
unbeatable croc
emplacements with brace

they had their fair share of this game. good thing they arent as present as before

I'm sorry, but when were "Comet swarms" EVER a thing? Ever? Like ever?

You don't necessarily need to be leading them into an MG.

I'm a big fan of making the Hammer Gammon Bomb a sticky AT satchel clone to give Infantry Sections a heavy AT snare locked behind an unpopular tech choice. I feel they already have enough tools to deal with light vehicles.

I'm also a big fan of the AEC - I don't think it needs extra anti-infantry power as that would just make it more of a no-brainer choice. It's my favourite light vehicle after the Puma. Treadbreaker is very nasty against enemy light vehicles, and I've never had too much of an issue using it against Axis LVs.

I do highly recommend the Vickers Universal Carrier for anti-infantry duties - the suppression ability is incredibly useful, if a bit unreliable. It's a nice little machine for no fuel cost, and I feel like it's far too overlooked in favour of the WASP upgrade, seeing as it's the only non-doctrinal anti-garrison unit the Brits get.

I feel we should move away from the concept of 5-man Tommies as essential - as I've outlined in my own thread, I feel like with their current performance, 4-man Tommies should have some benefit over 5-man sections, namely no accuracy penalties or received accuracy penalties. That's an argument for another thread though.

The formula is simple.

4man sections - 1 weapon slot, can have medkit or pyro
5man sectioms - 0 weapon slots cannot upgrade.

My fav change however would be to make sections default 5men with 1 slot and pyro/medkit and the bolster upgrade for 6 men and no slots or upgrades.

Edit: obviously nerfing 5men sections to not have slots would mean an accompanying buff to stock sections to compensate and make the 5man upgrade attractive. Same with the 6man version.

I'm not a fan of 6-man Sections, and I would rather not make 5 men the standard squad size. I like the design philosophy of the Brits as a smaller, more well-trained force within the Allies, and I think giving 4-man Sections advantages over 5-man Sections would speak to this, as well as add a bit of versatility to the faction.

I also think that, in your proposal there, I'd rather 5-man Sections get an extra weapon slot as opposed to having theirs removed.
