I don't want to start a 'UNIVERSAL CARRIER OP'-thread, but I hope we don't go on the Kubel-tour again with months of balance there.. I never like mobile MG-platforms, certainly not when they need so long to be balanced. POSITIVE BUT CRITICAL!

75mm armoured car, that's going to make several dozen rage threads on Sept 3rd
Crappier version of puma? ...
The only issue encounterd was timing. That was somewhat fixed.

What's so special about the Universal Carrier?
Upgrades. And something unclarified about its ability to ferry infantry.

1. I hope the Armored Car does what it should do. Be a class cannon, that counters light armor and is still a threat against medium armor damagewise, but isn't resitant enough to hardcounter mediums.
2. My hope for the Bren Carrier is, that it isn't a second Kübel.

The Bren Carrier has a flamethrower upgrade? That's the most OP thing ever.
Try the Churchill Crocodile, that thing puts the KV-8 to shame.

Considering I've seen official screenshots with a square-nozzled "MG" for the Universal Carrier, and the official art for the same vehicle showing a squad of Tommies in the Carrier with one of them toting the Vickers K MG, I infer that the Universal Carrier will get an upgrade to become a Wasp, and crewing the Universal Carrier will give it an extra MG in the form of the Vickers K.
It was rather obvious that the Universal Carrier would get a flamethrower upgrade since the Royal Engineers don't get one (and that the Universal Carrier is the only vehicle of the non-doc type that could get one), and 3 out of the current 4 factions get flamethrowers.

Churchill croc: Take a Sherman 75 mm, now strap a KV-8-beating flamethrower to the hull. Oh, and you don't need to toggle any weapons, everything is shooting at the same time.

Actually, crocs main cannon sucks hard.
And it better be ai beast considering its timing and cost I doubt anyone have any right to complain, no excuse for not having hardcounters for it by the time it hits the field.
My Hopes:

Read up on AEC on the net, its a cannon, but don't expect it to be glassy.
16–65 mm of armor.
For comparison, Luchs had 5–14,5 mm.
Think of Puma.

Am I the only one disappointed by the Sexton's lack of originality? It's essentially a Priest clone without the MG... Would be nice if it had something other than the underwhelming Creeping Barrage. Would have loved to see Overwatch or Counter Battery instead. Which is a rather strange thing for me to feel when I loved it in CoH1. :/The information given here doesn't really give it justice. It isn't very unique by itself, but let's just say calling it in gives you more then you'd think.

Poor 222 now has to fight T70, M5 Quad, Stuart, USF AA HT and Brit 75mm Armored Car
Its the only axis unit that knows how conscripts feel
