People complaining about the lack of a mobile mortar because they play team games.

Absolutely no one builds mortars right now in 1v1. Howi and ISG yes, there are plenty of those. However Mortars are a liability so I would agree with OP that there is no real need for a mortar.

If mortar was really the problem then Lend Lease and Tatical support would have fixed a lot of things.

Guess what though, no one in top level Brits use lend Lease. In the top 100 games i've played and watched, I think Advanced Emplacements was picked more than Lend Lease. Tatical support sees a fair amount of play in team games cause of the other things like Croc, call in airplanes, and ofc almost free AT guns.

I like what's here. Although I do have a probhlem with tech. I suggest making it so that you have to get Bolster Tech before T3. T2> into T3 > into Cromwell is 130 fuel. it means the Cromwell Rush, which the cromwell will hit at around 11 minute, will be around a 10 minute cromwell almost competitive with light vehicles.

Before you say that's an unrealistic strat, I've observed this particular build order used by Kobal (I think he's around rank 30 brits atm) I've been using his BO and it works suprisingly well.

I doubt the 4 man Balance team will consider reworking Brits which makes me sad cause this is a really good idea.

Imagine having an upgrade that makes grens better on the move wiping.

Oh wait there's two.

I think it's blind to look at the Section nerfs in a vaccum when other things have been adjusted too.

There was a stright buff to the Vickers, Sniper, Firefly, Comet, and Cromwell.

The balance team didn't just cuck UKF and be done with it. These changes were probably supposed to help smooth out the powercurve of the faction.

I think the only point to really critique them on is the fact they didn't properly explain the impact of these changes. For example, the USF changes had their own comprehensive graph which drew people's attention away from these changes which has their own massive impact.

As for my take on this, I think sections in combination with a firing on the move buff and a veterancy power curve normalization would be good enough the bring them back into glory.

My proposal: 0.5 moving accuracy, Vet 2 10% accuracy/12% recieved accuracy, Vet 3 15% accuracy/10% recieved accruacy

Why this works: Sections currently have no offensive vet 2 bonuses at the moment (which is different from almost every infantry unit in the game) making their mid game espically reliant on staying in cover and brawling from long range. Whether or not you think those bonuses are OP is a different story but the fact is these promblematic vet bonuses makes it so that it's impossible to bleed sections in the right conditions, and sections are no better at killing than they are stright out of the gate. Now you might be wondering why the vet 2 works that way, well it's probably because Sections were designed around the 16 damage volley which more likely than not bled models massively on approach. With the new 12 damage rifle it is more advantageous to have accuracy at vet 2 in order to secure some more model bleed rather than the 22% RA bonus; WHICH doesn't even help them that much with the true counter to sections which are: Snipers, Barrage weapons, and light vehicles.


Btw i'm gonna post this absolutely everywhere and i'm not trying to derail the flow but god damn it buff Cromwell MG to be simular to Comet MG thx

Grens might not be the most survivable, or tactically flexible, or have the most dps, or the cheapest.

Yeah that's it. Even as an Allies main it doesn't seem like to me Grens are anywhere the best mainline.

I've already said what I wanted on Brits before.

New point I wanted to bring to this post is that Brits also have some very inefficient manpower call ins.

Commandos are nice and all but the call in costs are insane. The Vanguard options call in is also insanely ineffecient.

Tank hunters infantry section also didn't get a 10 manpower decrease to reflect the recent changes.

To get access to the Vickers machinegun in specialweapons, you need almost 45 fuel and a meh halftrack.
