I don't remember exactly how it worked, but I do remember main gun crits used to save a tank from death i think?

Like a 160hp or less tank could survive a full shot just because of a dice roll. Basically the current abandon mechanic except you still had full control/speed

I'm fairly certain it had a chance at any time but it was almost guaranteed at death. I have memories of fresh tanks losing their guns on the first hit. Could be misremembering though, it's been a long time and I'm not as young as I once was...

At any rate I feel limited reintroduction of the temp cross could be nice

Now, to get this out of the way, I'd sooner KEEP the snare and nerf them otherwise. I have always been alone on that boat but I'm going to proceed with this question anyways:

Why would removing their snare REQUIRE something else in exchange? They are OP because of a series of buffs. Why does creating a weakness (which they currently lack, thus making them OP) require some sort of counter buff? Is camo, first strike and good at all ranges not good enough? What if they also fucked shit up on the move? How about a bundled nade? How about poison smoke to negate CQB squads and allow them to recloak for that ambush bonus again? Why do they NEED something given back if something is removed to BALANCE them?

I would just revert their DPS changes and tie them behind late vet and keep their ambush bonus rework exactly where it is. They can earn being fuck everything everywhere at every range, but until then they need to be used as ambush troops. Keeps em unique (even though "use in a specific way and not just attack head on regardless of terrain" isn't really OKW's style it was always nice that falls were outside the norm.

I agree with Lago that most of the brit problems are design issues resulting in crutches being removed. It's a shame because the brits could be really cool. Inflexible and less mobile to contrast the usf but no less powerful. Now we have sections who are by design to lose outright in their ideal circumstances against a WW1 style charge across an open field to another starting unit because they cost 10% more (and do 500% more but the cost is the only factor that matters) which pains me as someone who has played this game for years and remember a sweeping design change to remove that exact design. Where utilizing cover properly and utilizing their strengths was supposed to win the day.

Isn't the point of removing the snare so they are vulnerable to vehicles? Like the exact reason is suggested? So they have SOME weakness? It would be a terrible shame if a nerf had the exact effect it was intended to wouldn't it?

Puma v Jackson would really be an interesting dynamic. If micro well the puma would win, but the odds are stacked in the jacksons favor it would be a great option for someone who could pull it off. If the jacksons range and mobility has already not been made use off there's no reason for yet another safety net in place.
