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. 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. The Bren Carrier is also effective against both Wehrmacht and Panzer Elite Tier 3 units.

A 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. 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. When left alone protecting a distant point, it works quite well at fending off a raiding Pioneer or Volksgrenadier squad. non-contested) side of the map, since by then there's usually enough AT on the frontlines to kill it instantly. It's good as a late game Victory Point guard on the far end (i.e. The goal is to keep it alive well into the late-mid game. 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. When up against an Wehrmacht opponent in Tier 2, you need to be very mindful of the Bren Carrier's health. 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. While your Wehrmacht opponent is in Tier 1, you'll want to keep the upgunned Bren Carrier stationary and at medium range. 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 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. This can be an effective tool for dealing with early vehicles.
Un-upgraded Bren Carriers also possess the same Button Vehicle ability that Bren-equipped Tommy sections have. 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. With an Infantry Section or officer loaded in it, the Bren Carrier can be used as a capping unit, much like a Kettenkrad. The unit can also be used for transporting Infantry Sections to the fight, as you can carry one squad in it (before it's been upgraded with the Vickers machinegun.) Coming right out of the Headquarters Command truck, it's a capable unit for harassing Pioneers and Volksgrenadiers, and it can lend your Tommies a big hand in winning an engagement. The Bren Carrier is one of the most powerful and versatile units in the game. A guide to microing one of the best British units in the game.
