they just simply don't have counter to early sniper or 222's and also their economy just asks to rage quit.
I'll start with tommies, these guys are nothing better than grens which costs and reinforce at lower cost, 4 guys in squad means that sniper will wipe them in few seconds, had a game where my tommies just rushed sniper and before i reached him i lost 3 guys, nowadays a sniper start vs brits is a new meta.
Vickers, for me it's the only good unit in early, getting 2 or 3 of those and secure some map, maybe they dont pin as good as other MG's but at vet one they gain range increase (says that in building but that's false, you just must get vet 1 being in building) also their reinforce is like 22
Bren carrier is like the worst unit the the game before they get flamer, i dont understand what relic was thinking with vet 1 self repair ability, it's completely impossible to vet up without getting any of the upgrades, one faust takes like 60% of HP, kinda hard to kill it with normal rifles but still if it gets fausted early then you must wait for god damn engineers to repair which is around 5-6 min
British sniper is somehow bugged or this unit is retarded, their camo fucks up in yellow cover or something because i had one in yellow and got sniped, their camo is so lame comparing it to ostheer camo, you got revealed like 1 sec being out of cover, ost sniper has like 3 second or something
Tanks - too late, too hard to get those thanks to british economy, none of these are somewhat versatile, good vs tanks and infantry, looks like only comet is viable but that's late game unit, brits really lack a light tank or some armored vehicle, AEC doesnt count because it's weak, it can barely kill puma
Now why brits are so lame? when they're facing ostheer and they get sniper like one of the first units then we are nearly pushed back to base, getting tommies or bren is a waste of MP, they cant fight sniper, too much MP bleed and bren gets fausted early (ost has muni for faust at like 2 mins) but even tho, ostheer can get 222 before we get any AT which is impossible to counter with any unit except AT gun, i really had hope that bren LMG upgrade had AP rounds, sadly Relic wanted to give them some suppression fire, like it would be ever used.
how i'd fix them - brits need cheaper infantry, and reinforce for sure, infantry in bren carrier must have option to fire out of it, like it is with M3, M5 types, i dont see a god damn reason why they wouldn't fire, what next brits need is AT rifles, at least weapon rack or simple tommie upgrade, brits really lack stuff to counter early vehicles. Bren carrier must get self repair instantly, not gained with vet and what i desire most - some light tank like Stuart |
well, why Brits economy hasnt changed? why tommies costs 280, reinf 35 and has literally no early counter to snipers? why tommies in bren carrier can't fire like other units can in M5's M3's? why bren carrier requires god damn vet 1 to self repair? this makes unit useless in early stages till some engies come. And for the last, why the hell brits don't have normal early vehicle or light tank like stuart? (AEC doesnt count, it's crap) |
