I honestly always felt Recon sections should have been an upgrade in one of the commanders, or just another standard Tommy upgrade to choose over the med-kits or flares. Scoped Lee Enfields that take up a weapon slot and choice of abilities such as the 'Prone Camouflage' they had.
Hammer itself, would be fixed if the Comet would be fixed as it does have the vehicle tracking and gammon bombs aren't the worst thing along with mini-blitz/flank speed clone. Anvil at least offers a very vital unit for screening and pushing forward vs defenses.
+1
Feels more like a doctrinal thing. Not too late to put it in lend lease assault lol.
IMO it'd come too late to be useful as a stock upgrade in hammer and sections already have brens for long range anyway though. I'd rather see a nondoctrinal cqc unit in some form or other since brits only have sections and only have brens as far as anti-infantry small arms, but then again that'd come too late to be super useful if it was in hammer too.
+1 about hammer in general too.
I wouldnt call-it non meta. Good brit players always got an UC very early, sometimes even if you didnt have enough mun for an upgrade yet.
UC without an upgrade counters Sturmpios, Volks, Grens (<-- if you pay attention and dont mess up the micro), Kubel. In other words, it counters almost every early axis unit. Is that fair? Idk, but if not, then the armor nerf is the perfect way of balancing it.
The 2 weapon upgrades just cover up every single map perfectly. On urban maps or vs covered weapon teams you got the wasp, and on open field you got vickers k
I've always thought it was pretty unfair that it was borderline bulletproof. I always make one right after a vickers in 1v1s since it's really nice to be able to damage/bleed infantry without taking any damage yourself, but now IMO armor nerf and self repair nerf might delay it a bit since you won't be able to repair it that well (IMO a good thing overall).
