Heavy gliders can even be used to deliver the game's only airborne tank, the British Tetrarch. They can also call in commandos who fly in on gliders. The British officers can add to the speed and rate of fire of their squads, for one thing. The Brit's enemies will have to hit an enemy who isn't rooted to their infrastructure.īut just because the British as a bit slower doesn't mean they can't make a rush when the time comes.

This power allows them to keep their command trucks close to whatever objective they happen to need at the moment, giving them a great deal of freedom to determine exactly which objectives they want to go after. Since they're not as fast as their enemies, the British have the ability to re-deploy their bases.

The new British ability to button up enemy vehicles by firing on them means that they'll have less to fear from the larger vehicles in the game as well. Sure, they move a bit more slowly than the other armies, but once they've taken an objective it's going to be damn hard to pry them away from it. The main expression of the Brit's defensive character is their ability to rapidly create trenches, MG and mortar emplacements and medic stations wherever they go.
