The Willys MB US Army Jeep, along with the nearly identical Ford GPW, was manufactured from 1941 to 1945. They are the iconic World War II Jeep.
History
Produced by Willys-Overland through-out the war, the US Willy's Jeep was their main light transport and towing vehicle. The Jeep was used to carry reconnaissance troops, tow light guns and trailers, transport wounded, and carry officers and support personnel. It's simple design and excellent off-road mobility earned it a reputation for being reliable. British forces also acquired Jeeps for their own usage, and were most prominently used by their Commando and Airborne troops as transports once the invasion had moved inland.
The version in Company of Heroes is armed with an M1919 Browning machine gun, but the Jeep could also mount the M2HB .50cal machine-gun for anti-air defense.
Tactics & Tips
- Use your jeep to hunt snipers, snipers take additional damage from the jeep.
- Unlike its Wehrmacht counterpart, the jeep can reverse and it is significantly more maneuverable, always retreat and repair.
- Jeeps extended sight range allows it to reveal enemy positions before it can be seen, use it to your advantage.
- Against the Panzer Elite player, they are used for attacking Kettenkrads, as the Kettenkrad's pathing system is flawed when facing a jeep.
- Jeeps are useful for blocking enemy tanks, as well as pushing out infantry of cover and blocking an enterance into a building.
- Jeeps do additional damage and have better accuracy the less units it faces. That means it will not only do better versus Snipers and Officers, but also versus pioneers and one-man squads.
