British Captain

[pariah]

I believe so, yes, but the problem with that is that you can't tell your Tommies to drop the Bren.

Jesus, Captain is a command unit. The better weapon he has, more likelly he will be focused fired at. Keep him out back and dont use him as a blob enhancer. That is not his role.

all the captain does in enhance blobs. blobs of infantry or blobs of emplacements dummy

I think he should deal more damage for defense, rather than offense. If you want to use his abilities, you simply CANNOT keep him back. His radius is just too small.

...dealing damage is allways offense. Avoiding damage is defense.
His abilities arent meant to be used often. He should be the last man that you can count on when everything else fails, coordinating what is left, adding morale etc. If you have the highest military rank that dosnt mean you have the biggest gun. Its his brain and leadership skills that made him the Captain.

What do you do when the enemy attacks? Kill them with sand bags?

I don't want him to have "the biggest gun"; Just some usefulness. If it weren't for the teching ability he provides, nobody would buy him. His abilities are mostly just useless.

That video posted by cephalos earlier sums up my opinion on the British army perfectly - They have good defense, but shitty offense. Playing as the Brits is more a game of 'hold on for as long as possible', rather than 'kill the enemy'.

[Rainbow Dragon]

maybe captain can call in air strikes too? and maybe have flares to see through for of war for limited amount of time?
 

[pariah]

Those would probably be some good buffs.

[Rainbow Dragon]

YEY! 

[pariah]

Calm down, dude. I don't have the power to make that happen.

[GodlikeDennis]

Not gonna happen guys. Cpt is fine how he is (apart from using the flawed British vet system).

[pariah]

Man, i would so love to see how you play as the Brits. You have a totally different opinion to me.

[GodlikeDennis]

Yeah I got position 60 Brit without using roos or BiB before I got bored . My win:loss is about 25:3 I think.

How did you defend from Piospams?
Even with all the 2.602 teching nerfs to this kind of build order 5 Pio T2 strat is still OP vs Brits.

[GodlikeDennis]

Dunno, I just have good infantry micro I guess. I played against KingOwl who was number 1 Wehr at the time too and only lost once KT hit the field. He piospammed to T2 terror grenspam which was a bitch to deal with.
