Mid-game dude, I said mid-game. Brits have a super strong mid-game.
having british just specializing in just the mid game is gimping the faction. Furthermore if we are comparing mid game, it's basically cromwell vs pziv and stug/jp4 vs firefly.
The british is strong in mid game, but I wouldn't say they dominate the axis. The cromwell is a very cost effective tank, but the axis mid game still compare favorably against the british mid game. It's also a lot easier to survive into late game once you manage to get your own tanks up.
It's not like the case allied light tank will just crap on wehr early game.
