You don't get it right?
I'll rather someone end up been wrong but providing good arguments than someone been right and giving crap arguments.
Hence the first real comment in 5 pages comes from a single person.

With all the changes done to UKF, i don't think it will settle down as something as simple as "just" spam IS and win.
1- So, what's in your opinion the reason UKF saw poor performance on 1v1 during the last patch.
Was it too risky to bet all your chips in trying to "steamroll" either OH/OKW early on and if failing in doing so you would lose to heavy meta?
The changes on their early game hasn't change too much and the tournament (2v2) played on the preview patch didn't play like anything that we saw on the clips or what you described.
2- Has the faction been made easier rather than just better overall, specially at the top?
3- Why the hell would you want to, on 1v1, match UKF IS 1on1 with Grens when you can open up with sniper? It's basically 2015/2016 all over again.
With OKW i don't think people will try a fast Flak HT back up by rak on 1v1 but maybe on teamgames. Still i think it's way more safe to just P2 into Puma as always.
4- I more or less agree with the "solutions".
-If IS is no longer meme unit outside of cover, then you can just let Ro En have the sandbags and let them just build trenches (similar to grens with meme bunkers who no one use as cover cause they are expensive).
-Now that they buffed the Cromwell, they could see to adjust UKF medium timing (i might be wrong, cause plenty of changes to other factions timing but i'm under the impression they had one of the fastest mediums when skipping upgrades).
-I still think that 5th man upgrade should not be done automatically and should take a weapon slot. Plenty of times this is skipped but it's better to address this once for all.
