Do you guys think the British Infantry Section is OP?

[Rippa]

I wanna hear what you guys think, I think their accuracy is a bit too good.

Given that they can 1v1 a much more expensive, late-game elite unit (Obers) without any problems and they are an off-the-bat unit that doesn't even require you to build a building to recruit them, yes.

[iZhuge]

allied infantry in general is better than german in early game, mostly due to the fact that the germans have the wide arc mg42 and a very good mortar. but if it comes down to a inf 1vs1, german inf can never win in early game engagements

One time 1 IS wiped my entire Assault Grenadier squad at point blank and wounded a Piooner squad aswell.

I think them main issue is that they can carry 2 Brens. It's way too predictable and gives them rather huge firepower. Limit to 1 pickup per squad should be enough of a nerf.

[A Toaster]

yes

[Derpy]

Its not OP

I disagree.Given the fact that they can use anti-tank weaponry,LMGs,and be very deadly with their standard rifles and them seeming more tanky than US 5 man and german 4 man squads I think they're a bit OP.

Being a good unit compared to other similar units in the other factions does not make them OP. Each force has its better than the other's unit.

I honestly see them more as... one of two crutches that keep the brits playable and hobbling along. The other being firefly tanks. Its not more balanced to kick that crutch out. They'll be crawling across the ground man.

[Skullfumble]

they are perfomance of obers

LOL! Try playing Brits before commenting like this. First of all Infantry sections actually cost something unlike their German counter parts which are practically free. They are very expensive like everything UKF. 280 MP for the base 4 man sqaud, 150 MP and 35! Fuel for the 5th man and 28 more MP for adding the man to units purchased before the upgrade. 150 MP and 15 fuel just to make available Brens. 60 munitions foor each Bren so 120 munitions for 2. 30 munitions for the healing or artillery upgrade. 150 MP and 25 fuel for a lack luster mills bomb grenade (not worth it 99% of the time). No vehicle snare with this unit. Infantry Sections are good but they can't be blobbed really because of their cost. Losing an Infantry Section with in the first 15 minutes of the game is devistating and usually game ending.

They're the most expensive to buy.
They're the most expensive to upgrade.

Once fully vettered and upgraded and immobile in good cover, yea, it is strong.

AT guns can blow up kubel wagen in 1 hit. They ought to be deleted from game.

King Tiger is insanely powerful, it ought to be deep nerfed because it has best
armor and best health and best gun and it has ss written on it.

I'd say L2P.

Please play british a few times before speaking. Thank you.

do you want 240mp IS? because that's how you get 240mp IS.

[Newbie4life!!!]

IS are good, maybe even the best line infantry but you gotta look at the faction as a whole, not just take their good parts. Like grenadier maybe the worst line infantry but they got the best support weapons (and free pshrek/rifle nade).

Also IS will lose to assault grens, unless you rush them across negative cover AND they have brens

[Arashenstein]

People who are being faction fan boy post topics like this. I play all factions and when I am playing OKW and face British or Americans it is like a dream for me, because OKW can instantly rape Brits early game and same about Americans but a bit harder.

Brits are the weakest faction in the game (I know USA is but wait for proof) and here is why:

- CoH2 is a fail game compared to any other RTS in the market due to several issues and very amateur design team behind this game and here is why amateur:

1. All factions in the game are equipped by a disabling AT ability such as AT nade + Fausts + Rifle AT nade but not British faction (Not talking about paid AT Boys doctrine)

2. All factions have AT abilities from their main combat infantry (eg, Volks + Grens + Cons + Riflemen) except British (Not talking about paid AT Boys doctrine)

3. British faction is the only faction which has several issues facing early tanks such as Luchs + Flame halftruck and later on Ostwinds and any other fast anti infantry tank. Why? Because it is the only faction that you can easily move your fast tanks like Luchs in the belly of their army without being worried if they get an engine damage or something.

4. British Infantry Section fails to win any sort of combat against OKW stormpioneers. Here is the easy tip: If your enemy is British and you are OKW always start with 2 Stormpioneer and 2 volks and see it for yoruself nothing can stop them because IS is useless in close range. If they make an MG it is no problem you can throw an incendiary grenade which completely disables their cover (such as buildings) while British grenades can be easily avoided by simply coming out of the building and going back inside.

5. Sniper is extremely effective against British faction due to 4 men squads and very slow sniper which almost fails to counter snipe the enemy all the time.

I think they should be allowed to choose to either have double LMG, or an extra model, but they can't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ have both.
