excellent game from both sides. Can't believe you won this game, but Tiger is just so damn strong. As usual in this matchup, just a couple minor missteps from the brit and it cost him big time.

In this game he uploaded you can clearly see the Brit guy has no micro and no understanding of the game. He drops commandos in front of armoured units 3 times just to retreat them a second later. Yet thanks to the broken army he had the chance of completely wiping Freestyler out of the map.

The thing is this is what happens if you play fair vs Brits, even the noobest of all brit noobs can win you without doing anything. And if you go gren spam mixed with pio spam and stug spam then you basically wipe them out. Versus brits there is no diversity in gameplay it is always the same strat that you should do.

Core element of COH is infantry combat and cover system and flanking routes. Brits is designed to ignore cover system. Their infantry is too strong that cover or no cover doesn't really matter for them.
Having map control is one thing but when you do not even need to retreat to motherbase and basically can just return to your truck and come back to the key map point immediately you also destroy that logic behind design too.
The veterancy system for brit is forcing them to do blobbing. CoH was designed entirely different from starcraft and C&C games, in tohse games blob was everything and in COH tactic and direction of assault was everything. But Brits and PE are totally ignoring that matter as their factions is encouraging bonuses for blobbing.
What made C&C Zero Hour awful in balance was the mobile bunker units such as Humvees. What COH did excellent was featuring no mobile bunker units until Brits arrived with Bren and Kangaroos.
Slit trenches... just nvm.

I can list more to describe why Brits design is absolutely horrible but I guess we know it all.

I totally agree with you. its a broken design, and by just moving the HQ destroys everything that was good (and working) in coh previously.
The Tier zero tank (bren) the lame button ability, the free trench....

+1

Brits separated the community when they arrived. I enjoyed playing them when I was a 2v2 Lyon noob haha, but yeah I have never enjoyed playing versus brits or playing them on a competitive level . But some players do still enjoy to play them it seems.
