My comment is focused on the Elephant and JT. In my opinion, both can sit behind a wall of AI/AT defences and pluck away at allied armour with little risk. Is this not the same thought going into the proposed ISU152 changes?

As a nerf to VSL Grenadiers, I would recommend replacing their G43 with a Volksgrenadier StG44. This reduces overlap with the G43 upgrade and still avoids the 80-damage alpha strike issue. With a worse weapon, the RA bonus could be kept the same or maybe just toned down a little, which helps define the upgrade's identity.

Churchill Infantry Tank
The Churchill is seeing the reversion of its population increase due to the British generally having higher than usual population. Furthermore, improvements to its main gun and the addition of a tank commander should make this tank - and Anvil - a better option.
- Tank commander upgrade added
- Reload from 6.125/7 to 6.125
- Population from 19 to 18

Mortar Emplacement
The Mortar Emplacement has received a number of changes to make it more usable by being cheaper to initially put down. By granting only one mortar to the player, the UKF player does not need to expand a large amount of resource to get access to basic indirect-fire. The addition of the heavy mortar barrage will give the British a long-range late game artillery unit in the core.
- Cost from 350 to 250
- Now starts with one mortar active.
- 2nd Mortar can be activated by upgrading the Emplacement for 100 manpower. 20 second research.
- Can now fire a Heavy Mortar Barrage up to range 180 once Hammer or Anvil have been unlocked.
Heavy Barrage fires a total of 8 rounds into the target area with a 120 second recharge; affected by veterancy.

Firefly
The Firefly is having its turret rotation improved. Its current turret rotation speed makes it track slower than most case-mate tank destroyers. The unit's speed with veterancy is also being improved. These changes should make the unit feel more responsive.
- Veterancy 1 now grant a speed boost of +10%
- Turret horizontal and vertical traverse speed from 18 to 22
- Veterancy 2 Turret traverse speed bonus from 1.35 to 1.15
