As someone who currently plays Allies most of the time I am asking myself why the P4 needs even more buffs, especially in terms of armor.

I am personally struggling in the AT department when playing Allies.

Sov T1 - there is no counter to a P4 if your enemy is not retarted ( = eating sticky satchel charges).
USF - Probably the "best" faction in this case, AT gun is decent and Zooks are also nice. Snares available.
UKF - Besides having a nice AT gun, UKF does not have snares without commanders.

P4 is already a real pain in the ass (the same thing I had when I played mostly Axis and facing a T70).

They can't.
There is a delay 3sec for years now.

Really??

Okay now I am really surprised. Absolutely didn't know that. Should play USF more often haha.

Have you tried smoking it, and then walking up to kill the leigs?

Or use callope or priest?

Or usf pak howitzer?

Or a tank?

NO but I came onto the forum and posted about it on a thread about a different factions problems. Why hasn't relic fixed it yet?

Naa I just wrote USF but meant UKF. My bad.

The main problem of UKF is its lack of viable indirect fire.

Pre nerf Mortar Bit was batshit OP, especially in team games. Post nerf it is absolutely useless as it gets countered by a single LeIG without being able to move or counter fire. Especially now as 95% of all OKW players play med HQ, you will ALWAYS see at least one LeIG.

UKF was designed around stupid gimmicks that all became obsolete by now because they were not done properly. Everything after UKF release had this typical Relic Pay2Win feeling. Build a Bofors + Mortar Pit and a Forward Retreat Point and simply bleed your opponent to death without any macro at all.

Now, emplacements in general are a "I want to lose the game please"-button. Infantry sections are somehow okay, but way too expensive. Vickers is also a good MG. But that's about it. You literally have no indirect fire as a mortar pit will be destroyed immediately and you lose 360 MP for about 10-20 shells it was able to fire before going up to flames.

The Centaur is nice but only a drop in the ocean and a gg if a Panzer IV appears. Your only AT is the AT gun (let's be honest - PIATs suck) which is good but an AT gun is only useful with snares, which UKF doesn't have without choosing one particular commander. Cromwell feels bad at the moment, Firefly is late game and really expensive for its low HP and snail speed.

Comet is trash as it doesn't hit anything. Churchill is too slow to do anything but sponging damage.

IMO land mattress commander is a must because it provides you with the only tool to counter LeIGs and LeFHs and overall Ostheer defensive gameplay.

UKF, which was designed as the "Elite Faction" (low quantity but high quality) of the Allies is now the worst in all trades. Its tanks are mediocre at best, the infantry is too expensive and unreliable. Any vehicle usually means a full retreat on ANY UKF infantry unit as no unit (besides commander units) have a single threat to vehicles.

Emplacements are a joke and just a waste of MP while they wait to be taken out by Axis indirect fire.

UKF*

Correct, I am sorry.
