Vickers Universal Carrier (1934)
*An Australian-built LP2 Carrier converted as a “Vickers Carrier”, with a heavy Vickers cal.303 (7.62 mm) machine gun instead of the usual Bren. The Vickers machine-gun was relatively outdated but could still sustain long, punishing fire as well as endure harsh conditions, even in North Africa. The secondary Bren is mounted on a telescopic arm,

I would love to see the Victory Carrier added the Ausie version of the universal carrier. The VC replaces the Boys-AT Rifle with a Vickers machine gun. Little would need to be changed making it the perfect choice for a premium squad. Same br2 as every other Universal Carrier variant already in the game. The best part it would give the allies two universal carriers before the Germans get one.

I mean, Not needed right this second. But its very important to remember, the single most produced armoured vehicle in history was the UC, it goes without saying just how common it should be in game.

Please add but TECH TREE.

ALLIES NEED A TECH TREE Universal Carrier.

It is bonkers giving Japan and USSR UCs and yet still none for allies bar some stupid event.

Use Aussie or Canadian variant if necessary.

It really isnt considering how many variants and types of UC there was, not to mention the literally endless field modification options.

But a lot of them would not work as an apc like mortar carrier or flame throwing variants

And you know the funny thing, even removing those, you still have infinite variants haha.

In my opinion, including this type of vehicle in events wasn’t the best idea, given the available variants.

There’s even a flamethrower version, just to give you an idea.

However, since the game leans more towards arcade than realism, its lack of a skill tree isn’t a problem.

Due to its size and speed, it’s harder to spot than a regular truck, especially since other factions don’t have this type of vehicle.

So, my opinion is mixed: you should prioritize role-playing or arcade gameplay, but not both.
