They're not that hard to land though due to their incredible speed once fired and the Firefly also has long-range with both the Tulips and the main gun so you could snipe an enemy vehicle from the FOW without them knowing until they hear "We've lost a panzer."

They're too gimmicky. They take forever to reload and cost a ton to buy and use, but also allow the Firefly to instant nuke medium tanks. With people hating instant squad-wipes, imagine instant tank-wipes. What the Firefly needs is more reliability and less reliance on being a one-shot tank removal button that isn't that effective outside of that role.

British AT options in 1v1 suffer from one major problem above all- the extreme strength of the 6pdr.

6pdrs come early in the tech tree without need for upgrades, and two 6pdrs are enough to carry the faction all the way through the lategame with mine support. Piats, AEC, Bofors, 17pdr, Firefly, even the Comet, don't provide sufficient advantages in many situations over the cheap and early 6pdr to be worth buying. Fuel is better off spent on anti-infantry (centaur, croc, etc) backed up with 6pdr walls.
