Profile of Cabreza

The Brits emphasized an army doctrine focused around minimizing casualties since they were pretty manpower starved during the war. It would be interesting to see that implemented into the faction. The entire faction could feature a slightly reduced manpower income but come with a number of tools to help mitigate MP loss such as a casualty clearing station that in addition to healing and reinforcing squads could be upgraded to collect nearby dying soldiers and refund some MP when they’re successfully returned (sorry no zombie Tommie squads).

Other ideas for unit design include:

Tommies - Tommies could function as expensive starter infantry with a focus on defensive stats and the ability to build a trench (NOT an OF style trench though) or another form of defensive structure. By default they would have bolt action rifles but could upgrade to Bren LMGs.

Bren Carrier – The Bren Carrier could act as durable early scouting vehicle with above average LoS and below average firepower. Since Bren carriers mounted a wide variety of weapons during the war it might be interesting to allow it to choose between upgrading to a Vickers MG allowing suppression similar to a kubel’s, a 2-inch mortar to provide indirect fire support, or a boys anti-tank rifle and PIAT to provide light AT.

Crusader - A cruiser tank the Crusader could perform like a speedy medium tank with a focus on AT capabilities. The tank would feature excellent acceleration and top speed while retaining the standard 600 HP and 40 yard range most medium tanks have but in return suffer from weak armor for a medium. The highlight of the Crusader would be it's 6 pounder gun which would perform closely to the American 57mm at gun in terms of RoF and penetration. While the 6 pounder might seem a weak gun initially the high RoF and decent penetration would mean it is capable of putting out an above average amount of dps for a medium, particularly when flanking.

That game...

It's been said so many times before but I guess I'll add to the chorus. Reducing the Jackson's damage to 160 would free up enough stat allocation to increase it's pen and RoF with maybe even a little left over to improve it's acceleration. The result would be a more mobile Jackson that is capable of reliably penetrating heavy tanks but with less front loaded damage. It would do consistent damage but not alpha strike so hard that medium armor has difficulty vs it even when properly flanking. The only issue I can see that might arise from this change would be blitz being too strong vs Jacksons but honestly that is more an issue with blitz being too strong period.

I also find Pgrens invaluable when I've lost a few Gren squads and can't afford to/don't want to buy a new round of LMG upgrades for replacement squads.

Just as an aside, I really dug that relic updated the old Wher P4 skin with their gorgeous OKW version. Not sure what category that falls under but it was a welcome change to see the old VCoH model/skin finally retired.

Not something I'd prioritize over balance but cool nonetheless.
