You don't like the comet?

Oh, I like the Comet well enough, it just performs a different role. The Comet seems to be more of a general purpose tank, a buffed Cromwell if you will, whereas the Firefly is a decent tank killer. Now with the Royal Marines, the M10 Achilles fills that role well, but Firefly seems to be quite a bit harder to destroy in comparison. If you're using tank destroyers right, they shouldn't come under much fire, but on the bigger maps it seems inevitable it will get a few nicks. Now I don't know the specific stats of the Achilles, but it seems like the Firefly is roughly twice as difficult to destroy. If I could pick between the Cromwell, Comet, Achilles, and Firefly all in one round it would be pretty awesome. They all fill different niches in my opinion, but there is always the vanilla brits to fall back on if you really miss it, which is what I do sometimes.

I agree with Olorin. I miss the firefly while playing RMC and I usually play vBrits in team games just because of them.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

I like the Comet. The loss of fireflies isn't enough though. They are the best AT weapon in the game.

For me it is the same thing: I miss the Firefly. What about either new AT infantry for Brits or a fourth upgrade for the standard British infantry squad? Sometimes I miss (relatively) cheap AT when playing as Brits.

I think that was used in 1.3 as a stop gap measure for the PTRD

Hookerhunter is correct. Whenever I play the Tiger Ace campaign I usually blow up a few squads of Brit infantry who have AT rifles.
