Generally the brits will have difficulty early game and it can just snowball from there.
By the time the brits get a foothold, they can be just broken down again by being outnumbered and swarmed.
In 2v2s and up they really need some support from Soviets or USF, which generally isn't happening because everyone wants to play the new faction.
That's exactly what I mean. They're meant to have a weak early game, sure; just like ostheer. Except they're worse than ostheer in that regard.
This update isn't in yet. It (is/will) be available as a mod, and the devs are using it to preview upcoming balance changes. Please try the mod and give constructive support
Just collecting opinions here. Once we have a good number of votes we can see what the general consensus is. I agree these are all 'first impression days', so I'll do another study like this in a month or so when the meta has settled. Then we can compare with objective numbers
