However, a Bren Carrier used this way is far superior to that Panzer Elite unit, as the Bren Carrier will be capable of defending itself with both its onboard Bren gun and the squad or officer in back as well. Un-upgraded Bren Carriers also possess the same Button Vehicle ability that Bren-equipped Tommy sections have. This can be an effective tool for dealing with early vehicles. While it is useful right out of the box, the Bren Carrier really becomes a beast when it's been upgraded with the Vickers medium machinegun. Even though you lose the ability to Button Vehicles and carry squads (and thus the ability to capture points,) its increased hit points (up to 280 from 215,) damage output, and AP Rounds ability more than make up for it. While your Wehrmacht opponent is in Tier 1, you'll want to keep the upgunned Bren Carrier stationary and at medium range. The onboard Vickers machine gun is much more accurate while the Bren Carrier is stationary, so not only will it deal far more damage than if it was moving, it will suppress enemy troops faster, too. When up against an Wehrmacht opponent in Tier 2, you need to be very mindful of the Bren Carrier's health. Anytime you see your Bren Carrier is at less than 3/4 health, you should be constantly backing away from attackers, especially if you can tell that your opponent's Volksgrenadiers mean to faust it. The goal is to keep it alive well into the late-mid game. It's good as a late game Victory Point guard on the far end (i.e. non-contested) side of the map, since by then there's usually enough AT on the frontlines to kill it instantly. When left alone protecting a distant point, it works quite well at fending off a raiding Pioneer or Volksgrenadier squad. Obviously, a judicious use of self-repair is a necessity if its health gets too low and you dont have Sappers nearby.īear in mind that the Bren Carrier's 280 HP can be vastly increased by Overreparing it with Expert Engineer Sappers. #E xs max company of heroes 2 image fullĪ full Overrepair will give your Bren Carrier up to an additional 300 HP, more than doubling it's base health (though, over time, the bonus HP will decay, leaving you with only 100 additional HP.) Thus, in some circumstances, it will still be able to withstand two direct hits from a PaK, Marder or Panzerschreck and live to fight another day. The Bren Carrier is also effective against both Wehrmacht and Panzer Elite Tier 3 units. It can kill both Armored Cars and Pumas with AP rounds, though it will receive plenty of damage from both units in return, especially if the Puma is upgunned. In a pinch, the extra damage from a Bren Carrier can mean the difference between killing an opposing unit and letting it slip away with minimal health. In some cases, it's even worth sacrificing the Bren Carrier in the late-midgame to kill an Armored Car or Puma, since both cost considerably more fuel to construct than the Bren Carrier does, and by that point, the Bren Carrier should have more than made up for its initial cost anyway. While stationary, its accuracy is greatly improved, and its damage output increases significantly.#E xs max company of heroes 2 image full.
