There is several problems with Brits atm. We won't see them in the upcoming tournament much.


1: There's no tatical flexibility with Brits. Emplacements are desperatly in need of a rework. For an emplacement faction, they sure get the short end of the stick when it comes to emplacement viability. Motar pit is so despirately needed sometimes with no other barrage weapon availble except base howi but can be countere oh so easily.

2: This patch's dps curve readjustment and the out of cover RA nerf is really forcing people to purchase 5man upgrade even more now. They are severely punished for being out of cover for absolutely no reason other than to reinforce the original factional design which didn't work. One nerf would have been enough but both at the same time is very much Grenades + 5 man + weapon racks is 60 fuel by itself. Imagine any other faction having to pay 60 fuel for their mainlines to perform well.

3: Brit's early game has no light vehicle counter besides from the AEC. Royal engineers has at grenades but no where in the viability of Conscripts or Fausts. The only unit that comes to mind that has soft AV before an AEC and AT gun would be the tank hunter infantry section. That's in a doctrine no one uses. That of which brings me to another point.

4: Brit Commanders are kind of meh. Tatical Support and Vanguard are getting more popular because they both have the Croc and plug up some (not a lot) of holes in the Brit lineup.

5: Cromwell is still bad vs infantry and Brits lack a shock unit.

Whether or not you agree, we will see the results in the tournament that's coming up.

Soviet problem in 1v1= they are not USF.

/thread

This is true. Soviets aren't USF

Maybe we should give free teching squads and Bars to everyone.

Popcap is related to the number of models crewing weapon I guess. Soviet support weapons are more durable thanks to that.

Unfortunately that's false due to the unfixable Deathloop bug as well as higher RA for Soviet weapon crews.

The Ram on the T34/85 is even more confusing as the 85 has even more value on the battlefield and less likely to be used for ramming. I would support a completely new ability for the T85

This is essentially a 300/90 snare ability that doesn't work half of the time. I'm totally for reworking it.

Also, this ability tend to have path finding issues as well. When it misses it shouldn't soft stun the T34.

Some things I noticed

The Is2 is CP 10 even though all other Heavy tanks of its class is 9 cp. (Even the Overpowered Pershing)

The Su-76 only gets 140 damage at Vet 3. While the Puma gets 160 damage at Vet 3.

T/34 Ram is really buggy and really RNG based. T34/85 Ram is a useless ability because you never want to sacrifice the 130 fuel tank.


Soviets have doctrinal support weapons that are weirdly over priced for their performance.

B4 is a crutch. RNG cannon wins games better than any actual arty (Ml-20)

In comparison, Soviets have far less useable doctrines than any other faction.
