Heavy weapon effective against light vehicles. Can damage tanks at short-range. Must be set-up to attack.

The 2-Pounder Light Anti-Tank Gun Team is a UKF weapons team unit. In skirmishes, it is exclusively available as a call-in with the Australian Defense Battlegroup.

Like any other AT gun, this weapon is specialized against vehicles and is generally ineffective against infantry. It must be set-up before being able to fire, and once set-up it can only fire within its arc of fire. As with any other weapons crew, these soldiers are far easier to hit due to a larger target size. This, combined with their limited mobility and set-up nature, means they are quite vulnerable to flanks and artillery.

The 2-Pounder can be thought of as a 'mini 6-Pounder'. It is significantly weaker in damage and penetration compared to typical AT guns like the . This limits its effectiveness against more armoured targets, and thus this unit can scale quite poorly as a match goes into the later stages.

On the other hand, the 2-Pounder is cheaper to deploy, and can be attained far earlier than the 6-Pounder. It also has a faster rate of fire and better accuracy compared to the 6-Pounder, while retaining a good arc of fire. As such, the 2-Pounder is quite reliable against light vehicles.

At veterancy level 1 it gains the Target Weak Point active ability. When activated, the 2-Pounders attacks will reduce the speed as well as disable the weapons of any enemy vehicles it hits for a short duration. This is a powerful timed ability that helps the 2-Pounder stay relevant in later stages of a match, where it can greatly support other dedicated anti-tank weapons.

Veterancy Abilities

  • Target Weak Point: Active timed ability. When activated, for a short duration the 2-Pounder's attacks are enhanced. Attacks during this ability will slow the speed as well as disable the weapons of enemy vehicles hit for a short duration. This debilitating effect can be refreshed on successive hits while the ability remains active. In addition, the 2-Pounder's attacks have guaranteed penetration during this duration. Overall a powerful ability that allows the 2-Pounder to stay relevant in later stages of a match, as while it will normally struggle against more armoured targets, it can use this ability to debilitate tanks in order to support other dedicated anti-tank units, while also allowing it to temporarily punch above its weight.

  • The 2-Pounder has a faster rate of fire and better accuracy compared to the 6-Pounder. On the other hand, it features significantly lower damage and penetration values, and thus will struggle against heavier targets.


Trivia

  • The weapons crew of this unit have an Australian accent (naturally, considering it is part of the Australian Defense Battlegroup).
