The Vickers is slightly shorter ranged and less suppressive than the one in the Vickers Machine Gun Emplacements, but is still quite deadly. If upgraded, the Bren Carrier will now be fitted with both a Bren Gun and a Vickers MMG. This is the same weapon carried by upgraded Infantry Sections, and is useful for both suppressing and killing infantry. Initially, the Bren Carrier carries a single Bren Gun (no surprises there). As noted above, the upgrade to Vickers MMG Carrier means that the vehicle loses its troop-carrying ability, and it is still just as easy to destroy as without this upgrade. Its flanking moves on enemy troops can be very useful, suppressing the enemy quickly just as your infantry overruns their position.
This increases the Bren Carrier's potential against enemy infantry.įinally, upgrading the Bren Carrier to a Vickers MMG Carrier gives it significantly more anti-infantry firepower, turning it into a kind of mobile Machine Gun Emplacement. When Infantry are loaded on board, they receive some damage protection (though again, the Bren Carrier itself is still quite easy to destroy), and can add their own firepower to the vehicle's. This even offers the officer a little defense, though if the Bren Carrier is destroyed the officer will also die. This allows a single officer to apply his command bonus at different points on the map, reacting to enemy attacks rather than sitting stationary at one point. If not used for ferrying, however, it can always be employed for flanking enemy infantry thanks to its superior speed.īren Carriers can be employed to carry your officers (especially the Captain) across the battlefield rapidly.
Therefore, the Bren Carrier is not expected to engage anything but the lightest enemy units. The Bren Carrier is classified as a light vehicle: despite its armor it does receive damage from small arms fire, and certainly from larger guns as well. When resources become available, it can be upgraded to carry a Vickers Medium Machine Gun, which increases its anti-infantry and anti-vehicle abilities, but it is then no longer able to carry infantry units. Initially, this vehicle is used mainly for fighting off small infantry units with its machinegun, and quickly ferrying infantry units across the battlefield to wherever they're needed.
As the name implies, it has a Mk.II Bren Light Machinegun mounted at the front of the hull. This light vehicle consists of two treads, a platform, four armor-plated sides and no roof. As soon as the battle begins, a Bren Carrier can be constructed at the Headquarters Command Truck for 280 280, 10 10, 4 4.
