Main issue with Brits is they rely on cheese to win. They have very few options to push and suffer from a lack of indirect fire and LV presence as well as expensive sidetech to make their mainlines viable and no snare on them, so they make up for it with absurd mainline performance, a stock Puma (AEC) that can immobilize anything at vet 1 for some reason and a min0 LV that has no counter for a good 1-2mins vs Ost and forces OKW into a raketen. You can't have a faction that relies on cheese to be competitive to make up for lethal shortcomings. The cheese needs to be nerfed and the horrible issues need to be fixed.
What role do the british play if they do not rely on cover via a cover bonus? What makes them different?
I think as they are now, if you take away the cheese and fix the awful shortcomings, the faction is plenty unique with a very static long range focused mainline backed up by a UC, sniper and specialized assault/camo squads (officer/commandos) into a lategame where they can pick between heavy and medium/heavy tank sidetiers.
