Snip

+1 Can someone please nail this to Relic's front door? I suspect this is Relic's way of giving Wher. a way to better counter British Heavies but it simply has too many other balance implications. Don't even get me started if these changes apply to the Tiger Ace as well...

I had a lot of trouble doing damage to them with a tiger + paks

the issue is it has super heavy armor and a ton of hp which makes it very hard to kill.

Probably why Tiger is getting a Pen buff next patch. Until then Stu-Gs are pretty damn effective against Churchill due to long range + high pen. Target Weak Point doesn't hurt either~

The UK sniper needs a counter snipe ability...just like how Ost arty has a counter arty ability.

Should just give him a "Ambush" ability where for Munitions cost he can plop down in the field without cover and be camoed. With Hold fire that way you could camp the sniper Enemy at the Gates style. Or maybe even better give him a "Set up Camo" type ability (new Vet 1?) where he can camo anywhere on the field after a set-up time. At least that would make his atrocious re-cloak time sensible. Scout Cars and Kubels would still hard counter this... so it would hardly be OP IMO.

Honestly when I saw that he had a Ghillie Suit in the artwork I expected him to be able to Camo without being in Cover...

1 vs 1 feels like you are constantly circling the drain with MP bleed.

Bren - I can see why they don't let you fire due to Tommie's Cover Bonus maybe being OP with Bren Carrier but with moving accuracy penalty I doubt it'd be that bad. Its base gun feels really UP and for how fragile it is I'm loathe to sink munitions into it when I know its probably going to get fausted or 222-ed shortly afterwards.

Piats: Piats can go die in a fire as far as I'm concerned, if a vehicle is even slightly moving they whiff like 80% of the time it seems let alone something fast like a 222. This wouldn't be so bad if Brits had usable doctrinal snares but guess what? The only ones you get are 1. Sniper 2. AEC Tread Breaker 3. Gammon Bomb which 1. Not 100%, High MP Unit that gets easily Counter-Sniped 2. Forces you into Hammer, High Fuel Investment 3. Easy to dodge, Muni intensive, and temporary. I wasn't in Alpha but I can't imagine PIATs being this bad and making it through.

Sniper - I really like the *idea* of a light AT sniper but why is his damage vs. vehicles so bad? His ROF is absolute crap so I don't see why shots vs. vehicles doesn't do the equivalent damage of 3-4~ PTRS shots. He should be a light counter to light vehicles (and medium tanks to a degree) that forces the player to either hunt the sniper or pull back.

That being said, I REALLY want to like the Brits they are just so frustrating to play in 1vs1.

Brumbar needs a nerf but AVRE is fine....!?

How dare you insult the glorious Brumbar with such a subpar unit as the AVRE! Brumbar doesn't need 40 sec to reload and has a higher rotation speed and acceleration! Brumbar is also non-doctrinal whereas AVRE is doctrinal!
