Weapons for the british faction sucks?

Do the weapons for the british faction suck?

I just came back after a break from the game, and by the luck of the dice I didn't really get to play as the british faction until a few days ago.

The first thing i noticed was the atrocious sights on the Lewis Gun. The second thing I noticed was the horrible sights on the Sten Submachine Gun.

I believe that the iron sights on the Lewis Gun could be put down (correct me if i'm wrong), so maybe just let players use it with the sights down. The iron sights block too much of the screen and make it almost unusable.

The Sten Gun has too "thick" iron sights, blocking the view. Maybe make it a bit "thinner", so players can actually aim down sights without losing sight of everything in front of them.

As it stands now the british faction has vastly inferior weapons to the german faction.
At least from my limited experience.

Feel free to disagree with me. Maybe I just didn't play the british faction enough.

The problem with the Sten Gun is that it is a Lanchester used by naval troops, not desert soldiers.

as for the sight of the Lewis gun, the problem is not the sight itself, but the fact that it is fixed and cannot adjust distances. but if that weapon does that, so should the rest of the weapons in the whole game, and that takes work. (I'm just looking at it like they would, the truth is that it bothers me too).

Yeah, i'm not asking the devs to make sights adjustable, just put the sight down. Problem solved for the typical distances we are talking about.
Also it is too "fat" if you know what i mean.
