I like all these "Brits unplayable early-mid game posts"
Tell Aimstrong that ^^. I'm sure he has something to say about it in OCF.
But yeah, UKF emplacements are best used in holding the line, aggressive placements won't cut it.
This is wrong assumption.
If someone can make rubik's cube in less than 1min, does it mean it is possible for everyone? No.
It is still hard do to for more people and few who can do it in 1min cannot change it.

I like Brits in 1v1 but there are really serious problems.
Recently I had a game on Arnhem agasint OST.
PURE MG SPAM, like 4 MGs.
I took middle builings, bleed him a bit, but finally my IS cannot sit there for ages and I needed to reinforce them. He turned it to his advantage and put 4 MGs in the every single house.
And here comes the tricky part.
How to get rid of 4 MGs covering each other?
(Finally I won, but all becasue of beloved Centaur)
As USF you have smoke&nades, AA truck, Stuart, Pack howie,
Assault Engis,
MHT.
As Soviets you have SU76 barrage, T70, Quad, Engis,
Shocks, Penals, mortars, even Cons molotovs.
As OST Pios,
Assault Grens, Rifle nades, Flamenwerfer, 222, Mortar,
MHT.
As OKW, SP (they are not perfect but once get close to the building, they can quite easily punish any early game unit inside), Volks' nades, ISG, 251/17, Luchs.
Plenty ways to punish heavy camping in the builings.
So what do you have as Brits? WASP? Going to die to cross MG fire or 222,
Commandos. That's all. 1 unit which is not perfect counter, and 1 expensive, quite late doctrinal.
No smoke, no indendiary nades, no SMGs/Assault Rifles, no mortars, no light AI vehicle/tank.
That's why Brits have to rush for Centaur to stay in game because there is no early-mid game unit like 251/17 or Stuart to keep them in game.
You even cannot use mortar cause once you build it, it can fight only around certain points and it's useless when enemy sits out of the range. How many mortars/bofors/AC have you seen during OCF? And how many times Brit player rushed for a Centaur?
There is a huge whole between early and late game for Brits.
Useless pit, bofors and AC make it only bigger.
You even can't afford for IS nades because you need all fuel for Centaur.
Point is, that sure, it is possible to handle such campy player but it requires damn more from you, than when you are playing any other faction with units which punish such gamestyle really heavy.
* doctrinal options.
