From Cruzz's DPS file, accurate to the previous patch.

The Vickers-K upgrade to the UC does the following:
  • Gives the UC +5 range.
  • Gives the UC a timed suppression ability.
  • Improves the UC's penetration.
  • Flips the damage profile over (the Bren UC does more damage at longer ranges)


However, it seems to be substantial damage downgrade. The UC's usually fighting at max range because a snared UC is a dead UC. But if I've understood this graph correctly, the Vickers K upgrade cuts its long-range DPS in half.

Am I missing something here, or is the Vickers upgrade a bad call if you're using the UC to inflict damage?

IIRC the bren gun still functions ALONG WITH the vickers K upgrade. So it's literally just a damage buff + abilities.

That makes sense. I'll go test it.

EDIT:

Confirmed: it's an additional weapon, so a flat out upgrade. That's some serious firepower too: at 20 range up it's got better anti-infantry damage than the Luchs.

Optimal range for it is about 20 metres, but below Range 35 it's got pretty flat DPS.

Does the UC fire out to 40 meters? Or is that just some sort of bug/oversight on that graph up there?

I'll go test it.

EDIT: The Vickers does fire at 40 range. However, the unit responds to attack commands based on the Bren gun, so if you issue it an attack or A-Move order it'll close to 35.

This is probably for a best, given the Bren provides the bulk of the unit's DPS.

I mean I know you tested it and have it confirmed now but just looking at it you can tell its dps is a lot greater than just the bren XD
