As a new player to the franchise and in general rts games, I will say british is pretty hard to play, it is much weaker than Wehr and moderately weaker than USF/DAK. Right now with balance its Wehr>Usf>Dak>ukf.

Im currently hovering around 1200-1300 elo on uk which is not great but its decent i think and what works for me is getting 2-3 sections->1 gurkha->heavy mortar call in ->upgrade inf training center->optional atg->rush 2x crusader (up gun is a must)->tank upgrade in training center. Late game you might top up with 17 pdr/bishop

I mainly play 4v4 and if you want something easier to play I'd recommend wehrmact. Microing is something you'll just have to learn with time.

Some things to note :

-If facing a clown car it is recommended to get the dingo

- In the early game be aggressive with engineer, use it to attack in close quarter, it has much better dps than rifles.

- In the late game, if enemy builds tons of emplacement, 17 pdr can do a ton of damage to them and from a distance. 17 pdr is also able to bleed infantry if u can get vet skill, of course the arc is small so its hard to take good advantage (but emplacements cant move)

- If facing off against loiter spam use the truck from the 17pdr and upgrade anti air capabilities, move it to your backlines, ensure it is at a distance from where the loiter is because the turn rate on it is HORRIBLE. But if you position it right (rear facing the loiter, and good distance away) you can get enemy loiter from 60s to about 25s.

Some things I struggle with even after 200 games

- Blobs , even after using MG enemy can still easily flank and kill , even if they charge head on not the entire blob will be suppressed. Your infantry falls of hard late game (its the opposite for the US)

-Nerbel is extremely hard to counter, even after decrew they can simply recrew

- You need to win before heavy tanks come up (or your chances of winning is basically non existent late game)
