Biggest issues with Brits are the MP costs of everything...
To me, this feels like the biggest killer. You can't have a Wehr-esque faction built around combined arms when buying artillery (400mp + 210mp for engies) and a light vehicle (440 + 65 fuel if I remember correctly for unit + unlock) costs you over a thousand manpower. |
I agree with LemonJuice, and believe that its more then possible to have asymmetric access to the necessities. For example, the Artillery flare could easily substitute for both mortars and late-game arty if Relic would just make it useful or the Flak Halftrack being a suitable suppression platform. Its just a matter of Relic making the right units able to fulfill their function. |
That was actually never a requirement, as far as I can remember. Since Alpha you just had to drop the trucks and you were good, even if they got wrecked. |
I only own UKF and keep getting nothing but Axis or American bulletins.
Surely you should only get bulletins for the faction you are playing?
But yeah being able to trade them would be awesome.
Yeah, it should have worked like that, but doesn't. Makes it a lot less painful when you're at least getting stuff you can use and even minor control of the drop tables would be nice. |
Suppressing fire from a Universal Carrier?
I've tried it, it didn't appear to work.. Is it bugged?
No, its just Volley Fire 2.0 |
They should be removed to discourage YOLO blobbing and promote soft retreats |
Chances are, he would sit in base and be borderline impossible to counter anyways. I'm not really sure this'll work. Even with some of the combat bonuses and force retreat, it'll likely be the same old same old. |
Tiger for me. Its slow, but hardly the slowest and it does basically everything efficiently. Ez8 would be my runner-up for basically the same reasons, but smaller. |

Considering their track record, I'm waiting for the next patchnotes to nerf it. |
The best tip is pray that your ally isn't British.
If your prayers aren't answered, then you need to know Brits are really, really gimped right now. They lack a reliable snare and their infantry AT, while really good against tougher armor, can't hit light vehicles without said snare. Speaking of light vehicles, the British ones all suck.
That being said, they can be a tough nut to crack without a mortar halftrack once they dig in, so your job is babysitting and making damn sure they can dig in on a fuel point early and then buy time by harassing fuel as much as you can. You just need to be aware Brits can't fight aggressively until tanks start to pop. |
