I thought since they were the British were going to have a new faction or planning on changing the up the set up of the British, I have always wondered where was Royal Naval Support? As a British Naval Historian in Training, I would be happy to help plan out this out if everyone wants to have some new artillery and unit support. Off map call ins would be the back bone of the Royal Naval Support. Naval Gun bombardment would be short but devastating call in, doing heavy damage to all in its range. Most people forget that the Royal Navy had aircraft carriers as well they were just very outdated compared to the United States and Japan. A SwordFish bombing runs would be an effect call in strafing run, three bombers dropping a much heavier bomb in a runway style attack. The downside to these planes is that they are slow, so they would be much easier targets for German anti-air, thus would be cheaper than the American bombing run. A gained ability for the British would be the ability to "Hull down". This would allow the British to prepare trenches with Bren Guns built into the trenches. This is the welcome return of the trenches amid since the new Germans can build foxholes, might as well give some of the British a perk to counter. As a call in unit, the 43rd Royal Marine Commandos were a fighting force not a behind enemy lines form of commando units. They carried Thompson's, Enfields and used C3 and dynamite. As for final abilities for each row as an offensive ability would be Naval support group. This would be the British version of a American Off-map Support group and would have a randomized units. The Defensive attack the British Royal Naval Support would have would be a a battleship buster, similar to the bombs that sank the Tirpitz. This would be similar to the V1 strike, as it is expensive to use, but is no where near as devastating. I hope this is a good outline of which the community could work on.
