“The most trustworthy is the Schwimmwagen!”
The Schwimmwagen Type 128 is a Reward Unit that replaces the Panzer Elite's Kettenkrad reconnaissance unit in Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor..
Game Info
This is the Kettenkrad alternative which comes in Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor. The Camouflage, Rudimentary Repair, and Booby Trap abilities are replaced with Mark Target, Lay Mine, and Incendiary Trap.
- Mark Target allows targets to be revealed through fog of war, and also increases the accuracy of friendly units firing upon the marked target, you must have Luftwaffe Tactics to use this.
- Lay Mine places a standard mine for 35 Munitions, you must have Tank Destroyer Tactics to use this.
- Incendiary Trap places an explosive trap that detonates when infantry steps on it and coats a small area with infantry-damaging flames. Costs 15 munitions and you must have scorched earth tactics to use this.
Weakness
The Schwimmwagen Type 128 is absolutely unarmed and cannot camouflage, unlike the Kettenkrad it replaces. It is vulnerable to every kind of attack, even a Captains' pistol, and must be kept out of the line of fire or it will perish quickly.
