Tank description:

The Universal Carrier 2-pdr is a British tier 2 tank destroyer.The Universal Carrier was the main armored personnel carrier used by the British Commonwealth forces. A total of 90,000 vehicles were produced from 1937 through 1945. In 1940, a variant with a 40-mm anti-tank gun was developed and modified into an SPG. In addition, the 40-mm guns were mounted on the C21UCG vehicles produced in Canada.The UC 2-pdr has the second best top speed among the 2 Tank Destroyers (after the T3 HMC), making it easy to relocate and find cover quickly. Like all British low-tier tanks, it suffers from poor armor which refuses to bounce shots from even the weakest weapons in the game. Staying hidden is essential. The 6-pdr gun is quite powerful and can two-shot many Tier 2s, though it has lower penetration than the stock gun. The UC 2-pdr has no trouble penetrating Tier 2 enemies and only the toughest Tier 3s can withstand its gun. It also has fairly good view range which allows it to spot for itself and teammates. The very wide gun arc allows the UC 2-pdr to fire without needing to move its hull which makes it even harder to detect.The Universal Carrier 2-pdr marks the end of its British tank destroyer line.
