Puppetmaster, my opinion is that the Brits can't survive to the late game (in 4vs4) if the enemy knows what they do. Brits early game is so weak, because their infantry is too weak and expensive. They can't beat the Ostheer sniper, grenadier spam or early vehicles. And the Ostheer mortar halftrack wipes out complete squads.
I have to agree with Robert on this one Puppet. I've beaten so many brits by early - Early mid game because I killed almost all of their troops with sniper and MHT is indeed pure insanity upon the heads of the brits. It's not that the MHT is overperforming, but it's that the brits don't have any damn counter to the unit. Same as that they don't have AT-nades in early game. 7-8 min Luch mops up the whole gang in the base. ATG's are probably to slow to turn to kill it, since the Luch is so manouvrable.
I'm confused, your saying Brit early game is week vs Ost (which it is). I said I can't see spamming brens to be an effective way of getting anywhere because one 222 counters them so easy yet you are "agreeing with him".
Can you provide a replay when bren spamming actually works vs Ost early game to back that up?
Also in a 4v4 scenario you wont be having 4x Brits, more likely 2x Sov 2x Brits which can help deal with early snipers.
