When I look at brits, I don't find much wrong, maybe button has issues but they're strong enough to survive without it.

RCA is my favorite doctrine and while it's good, it has its limitations, same with engineers and commando's.

Unlike WM, US and PE where there are glaring strengths and weaknesses, when you're playing as Brits you more than likely will win or lose with or against them by tactics rather than something being stupidly strong or weak. They got this one right and I hope they don't change anything.

The brits are the most unfinished, illogical, most boring bullshit, no micro shit doctrine that everyone hates. It was the plague for COH and even though it's better in EIR, it's still not a finished faction.

This is the most illogical sentence I have ever seen. The brits have very obvious disadvantages, unlike the other factions, PE for example can actually stand on their own pretty well, the brits cannot.

They also have very obvious strengths, like the firefly, the RCA cromwell, the RE croc.

I have to say I love the brits. Maybe its because I have played US so much and brits are a different pace, unit selection, and micro style that its a change of pace.

thats a laugh. There is no allied doctrine or play style I have encountered where allies can go toe to toe with axis without support from another player. Not intended as a snipe against axis but axis players can more or less go it alone from time to time and achieve great success while not unheard of with allies it is much more rare and allies usually but not always have to work together to make shit happen on the map.

I wouldnt say unfinished they are just a much more difficult play style that some people either can't play or get frustrated playing them. I myself suck at brits but love playing them. do they have weaknesses? indeed. is this anymore unusual then US, WM, PE? i should think not. could they receive some attention and get some improvements? probably and who doesn't feel that way about the doctrine they play.

I would like to see some changes but brits aren't that broken.

oh forget it, sick of this crap.

Lots of dum dums around here!

I may have overreacted a bit and not written very objectively. But CW is far from a perfect faction, they lack so much. And yet Tym is saying the exact opposite, I don't even know if he's trolling or just someone mistook his head for ice cream and took a large scoop out of it.

[Tymathee]

didn't you notice i put a ? at the end of it?

it was a quesiton and some suppositions.

the fact is, i feel it is balanced better than any of the other factions, thats kind of what i meant. US is under balanced, WM is over balanced and PE is...meh.

[skaffa]

overbalanced underbalanced ? never heard of it

Brits are sooo easy and op if you have a clue. Doctrines make no sense and buff everything really well so you never have to worry about being outclassed in any category.

I figure Tym is trolling. Right now Terror is the only doctrine done right, with equally sexy choices all around.

[Demon767]

Stop trolling Pony.

Theyre better then the americans. After playing americans since I started coh in the first place, i swapped to PE in eir and played 7 games on a PE account about a week ago. It was a breeze. Same for the CW. Americans are too squishy and lack any cost effective units whatsoever--whats the point of rifles being 40MP less then grens when you need two of them to kill one? TDs cant handle crap on their own, nor shermans (whilst every axis armored unit can, it seems). Im frankly sick of my americans, no wonder everyone plays brits/axis. Americans really are crap in eir (this is barring the silly things like triple bar *SF* spammage, multi snipers, or 26 rifle companies, among other things.) Balanced company vs balanced company, its my general opinion that the americans will almost always lose. The brits have a fighting chance, at least. The only field in which the british lack directly is infantry, where tommies really aren't fit for mainline use, both because of their cost and lack of general effectiveness against anything (afaik volksgrenadiers out-DPS them).

[Smokaz]

26 rifles is only 5200 mp! What are you even talking about..  I'd feel NAKED without more than 12 infantry callins.

[jackmccrack]

There are some people who think Brits are underpowered, and there are some people who think Brits are overpowered. There are also some people who think Brits are perfect.

[spinn72]

brits r op because i wanna boost my epeen on the interwebs!

[panzerman]

brits are OP when you use them right

[WildZontar]

Tym, you can't even play the damn game because of your monitor problem, I don't really think you should be the one claiming what faction is balanced and what isn't balanced among other things.

Because I haven't played that many EiR games in the past month because of games like BF3 and Skyrim, Ill be out of this thread from here on out, but I thought Id just throw that fact out there for others to be reminded of.

No worries, nothing has changed in 3 months anyway

I've never liked Brits even when I had successful companies with them I always felt something was lacking and this thread has finally got me thinking why. Brits lack a killing blow, they're great right up until the point where you actually have to finish something off, especially tanks. None of their mainline AT is good for chasing and their fast units are poor at AT. Against Brit AT the axis players will get all their repairs off unless they fuck up. Against infantry you have a few more options, most notably the croc, but for the most part you're still just keeping heavy infantry at bay rather than straight up murdering them and this is a problem. For me anyway, I'm not sure how much of this is my personal playstyle or inherent brit design, probably a bit of both.

You've never tried out Stuarts David? They are rather awsome at finishing off what a firefly started.
