Sup,

Everything is in the title.
I haven't come across someone using Churchills instead of Comets. Myself, I always use Crom's or wait for Comet's if the situation allows it.

Is there a reason to go for Churchills apart from damage soaking unit?
For the people that go Churchill in 1v1 or 2v2's, why do you chose for the unit instead of the Comet?

Thanks!

To OP:
How is 400 MP for mortars (stationary btw) cheap? Honest question.

When you take the impact of such emplacements (on some maps) in account, it's fairly cheap.
Locks down sectors and is strong. Kinda a no brainer on some maps and does all the work for you - no skill involved.

I never read long forum posts, but damn this is fun to read at work.
Thanks Yukiko and Kothre .

This comment is solely made for 2v2 players as I'm not a 1v1 player.

I honestly wonder if any of the more serious 2v2 players here think that emplacements are really ok.
Take the maps Kharkov or Crossing in the Woods for example.

Double brit on Kharkov is hell. Mortar pit on one side locks down 3/4 of the map (2 x VP's, fuel, ammo) while a central-positioned defends against incoming attacks on the pit. Early game is safe now for the brits. They can focus their troops on pushing other sections of the map.

Counter barrage? - Sorry no, the 'free' ability of the bofor next to the pit will instantly pin / kill your mortar / ISG.
Isn't that enough? - Brace the mortar for a while until the barage is over and your engi's are there.
Push with an AT gun and some troops? Sorry no, the mortar put isn't usually uncovered and the brace makes the fight last very long. Plus, you forgot about the bofor next to it.

So that basically means that you can't do much for a while than repositioning your axis army to the other side of the map. - Sorry no, there's a Bofor on their cutoff so pushing makes no sense. You are basically locked inside your own fuel - ammo section.

But not for long! The cromwells are coming boys, and they are fast and deadly.

Seriously, I played brits a lot cause I liked their well formed army. But the emplacements make life a bit too easy. Crossing on the woods is another example of the lovely Mortar pit happiness. Put one behind the little forest in front of your base and profit endlessly.

It's just.. It's just so stupid design. Make it a bit cheaper and remove the fucking brace.

Damn, if I ever want attention for a certain topic, I'll name my topic title 'Layoffs at Relic and the future of COH2'.
Seems to draw a lot of attention.
