No, this isn't like the other thread on them being "insanly underpowered" as the title said, this is a logical criticism of sorts that is made without complaining.
I've fought battles with allied British soldiers, and I do think they're a bit underpowered. Though historically they had the best infantry in the world (Prussia did at first until its downfall in the 1750s), they seem to be rather lousy shots in the mod, and despite the British historically being known for their bayonette charges, British troops seem to be lacking melee ability. For example, 15 British units, some regulars, militia, and Black Watch, charged 4-5 Cossack infantry and got cut down. I realize it's a known issue that the Cossacks are unrealistically overpowered in the game, but still, 15 - 5 shouldn't result in such losses.
My suggestion is to simply give the British more competence. We had the largest empire in history, the best navy, and the best army, and I think it would be good if the mod could make the British a bit more powerful as it would be both realistic and historically accurate.
