British Upgrades
It supplements the British Workshop as their side special. Giving you the ability to build upgrades for the Workshop that add modifications to your heavy tanks. Once you have built one of the upgrades the standard heavy tank will be replaced with the chosen modified version. The other upgrade will also disappear, if the Workshop is sold or destroyed tho the upgrade will be lost & you'll have to start the process over again. These upgrades aren't mandatory tho, so you can leave them & continue to use the standard vehicle if chose to.
Available Pre & Early War:
A12 Matilda II
The Matilda was one of the best armoured tanks in the world when WW2 started. The proved highly effective in the north-Africa campaign where they got the nickname queen of the desert.
A12 Matilda II CS
This modified version of the Matilda knows as the CS or Close Support uses a 76mm howitzer instead of the normal 2pdr anti-tank gun. The 76mm gun though less effective against tanks can easily deal with infantry & level buildings in seconds.
A12 Scorpion
This field modification for the Matilda adds a mine flail to the front of the tank which can clear any enemy mine fields with ease. This unit also has the ability to deploy & create it's own mine fields too.
Available Mid & Late War:
A22 Churchill Mk.VII
The heaviest & most armoured tank used by Britian during WW2, it provided a robust base for many different specialized variants, which where put to good use during & after the D-day invasion.
A22 Churchill AVRE
This version of the Churchill uses a huge 290mm mortar, which will devastate anything is comes across, but reloading it takes time so it will need support.
A22 Churchill Crocodile
A field modification for the Churchill which adds a flamethrower & an armoured trailer to carry the fuel for the weapon.
Available Post War:
FV4011 Centurion Mk.5
Arguably Britain's most successful tank design, it had a long career spanning 13 versions & various specialized variants. Many of which are still in service today in countries all around the world.
FV4003 Centurion AVRE
Built to replace the Churchill AVRE this version uses a 165mm gun which is highly effective against infantry & buildings, so effective in fact that they where still in service during the Gulf War!
FV4004 Conway
A prototype tank destroyer using the Centurion hull but fitted with a massive turret housing a monolithic 183mm gun! This gives it the firepower to take on any tank but makes it less effective against infantry & buildings.
PS: In Total War all of these units are available & without any upgrades.
