The problem is that brits lack a counter proper counter for isg spam.
Soviets -> Katyusha
USF -> Priest / Pack Howi spam
Brits -> ??? AVRE but it comes far too late to be an effective counter.
The infantry support gun/pack howi should provide indirect fire to support your units and punish turteling, but they should not win all the engangments on their own. Right now they act like supressing platforms with huge ranges.
They were fine before the recent changes, but now the are far too dominant.
In addition infantry support guns hard counter brit emplacements since brace was nerfed. Games simply don't make fun anymore since infantry combat, a core mechanic, is nullified by team weapon spam.
But infantry combat wasn't nullified in the early game by bofors? Any squad running into one of them was 95% lost. They still do alot of damage and supression to nullify infantry combat even in present though they are alot more balanced.
In addition, the pack howies are killing like hell also, and I didn't hear anyone complaining about them. Perhaps because they are underused since USF has alot of diversity compared to OKW. In fact, that's the problem, OKW has nothing in early game against emplacements except this.
If ISG will be modified, its capacity against emplacements must be kept if not buffed.
Related to infantry combat, I can see what two ISG's placed behind a wall of volks + sturms/fusiliers can do, but how can these units stand against recently buffed allied base infantry? I could blob my OKW opponents to death as USF killing volks and obersoldaten alike with riflemen and REs with BARS just because the poor guys didn't have ISGs behind.
ISG is to good? Fine, nerf it, but buff the mg34, increase price and make it a stock unit or else anyone could mop the floor with OKW infantry base units, let's face it.
