I think the most frustrating part about the Brits is the lack of specialized infantry for medium/close range. Wher has PGrens and OKW has Sturmpios but Brits have to rely on a doctrine. I think Sapper could use a DPS buff for late game maybe at Vet 2?
Exactly this. Adding a T2 assault unit would fix many problems about UKF:
-They can be offensive without relying on static play anymore.
-They can have mobile smoke if you give assault unit a smoke grenade.
-And obviously, they will have assault infantry to attack points and take them.
I think adding a "Royal Assault Engineer" upgrade (60 MUN) or directly a new unit (280MP) to T2 would be the best solution that can adress to many problems about UKF without adding a lot of units/abilities and changing a lot of things about UKF. Although they should be worse than Assault Sections at fighting since they're stock, giving them smoke grenade wouldn't overlap with Assault Section's white phosphorus grenade, which serves to other purposes.
