What British commander should I get?

[Ash//Fox]

There's three more British commanders I can buy, Special Weapons, Tactical Support, and Vanguard operation; and I have no idea which of them to buy. They all have Crocodile so I have an answer to late game infantry in all choices. Tactical support seems the weakest choice but that depends on how expensive the air resupply operation is because I can see a free panic purchase AT gun + mortar being pretty useful. Between the other two options the thing that has me stumped is the air support; strafing abilities on Soviets seem extremely over priced and easy to dodge but the Hold the Line ability is defensive only and untargeted.

A ton of stuff is about to change, so I would strongly advice you to watch how those changes play out before making a decision.

This video gives a good overview of what's about to happen. Do keep in mind there were updates to this patch, you'll have to watch or read up on separately.

Thank you for sharing!

One of the best British Commanders hands down is the Commando Regiment which you start with. Commandos with Double Bren will carry you since Infantry Sections are garbage.

That or Lend Lease. Nothing compares to making a low rank ost main rage quit because you stole his MG in first 2 minutes of the game.

Why am I not seeing any mention of Special Weapons?

Reinforcement halftrack, and lots of goodies along, including a croc for max trolo potential.

For shame.

Lend Lease has a better halftrack. At least in terms of combat and timing.

Yes, but no croc. Also, can't upgrade on field like you can with Spec Weapons. I found that part pretty useful when something heavier suddenly makes appearance - grab a PIAT or two, and blow it up, no need to pull away.

Also, isn't the Vickers LMG higher DPS in general? Been a while since I looked at it and Bren, so not sure if misremembering and if still applicable.

Also, you lurker, you ninja'd me before I fixed my post. Crew repairs aren't in Spec Weapons - I forget because the other two commanders I generally slot have them XD

Do UKF really need a croc anyway? I mean, of course it's a powerful weapon, but do they REALLY need it in like a 1v1 scenario?

Of course they do. What silly question is that?

Eh, I can see why it's so expensive.

It's basically the proverbial tank (hah) which can not just wipe infantry the way KV-8 does (albeit without turret-mounted flamethrower, which is verra nice), but can also threaten all armored targets to a degree. You won't win against super-heavies, but you can at least pressure a Panther (and soak the damage) while more dedicated AT moves in. And it melts crewed AT guns. Kind of price of universality, I guess.

True that it's pretty meme investment. My own games are usually decided around the time one heavy hits the field (if not with just mediums), but I play pretty aggressively which speeds up the outcome one way or another.

All 3 of those commander's will soon have adjustments to them. (for the better IMO) so do your research before spending your hard earned dosh.
