Humber Armored Car

The Humber Armored Car is a light UKF vehicle unit. Available from the , it serves as essentially a more expensive and combat-focused version of the . Similar to the Axis counterpart, the , it is very effective against infantry thanks to a fast rotating autocannon and machine gun. The Humber likewise also features fast mobility at the cost of durability. It also has greater sight range of 45 compared to 35 for most units. In addition, it also count as a detector unit and thus can reveal enemy camouflaged units at a range of 25 instead of the usual 12.5 range.

Uniquely, the Humber is also a dedicated anti- unit, as it has an accuracy bonus against snipers.

The Humber is best used a shock vehicle, similar to cavalry of the old age. This means it can be attained relatively early, and use its superior speed and anti-infantry power to suddenly sweep into enemy positions and force them to retreat or die. Its weapon is also decent against various light vehicles, but will struggle to penetrate heavier armour. Without appropriate counters, the Humber can be an effective menace to take over map control and give the UKF player time to assert their positions before an inevitable counter-attack from the opponent.

By default the Humber comes with the Smoke Barrage ability. This makes it one of few UKF units capable of creating smoke cover at range. After reaching veterancy level 1, another useful utility ability is added in the form of Mark Area, which provides vision in the target area while also making enemies in the area of effect easier to hit. See veterancy section for more details.

While the Humber can be very powerful, it is essentially a 'glass cannon'. It has good offense but lacks health and armour, meaning it is very vulnerable to anti-tank weaponry and even concentrated small arms. Great care must be taken to utilize the Humber effectively - indeed, plenty of player 'micromanagement' is essential. Depending on timing, it can be very effective on the field but this can fade very quickly if the opponent musters counters such as an opposing vehicle like the , or anti-tank measures.

As time passes and the opponent gains more effective anti-vehicle measures, keeping the Humber alive becomes a greater challenge. Thanks to its strong anti-infantry performance, fast mobility, and large sight range, it can still maintain a great degree of usefulness in the later stages of a match. Plus its abilities will always remain useful, especially as both the Smoke Barrage and Mark Area can be used at long range. However, this all assumes the player is up to the challenge as it is quite capable of being destroyed very quickly without proper management. Similar to the Dingo, it can be a good idea to refund it via the Withdraw and Refit ability when it becomes too difficult to use.

This unit benefits from the Light Vehicle Training upgrade available at the .
