[Client Values; Actual values in
Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

The Cavalier is a British tier 5 medium tank.

This project was developed by Nuffield Mechanizations and Aero in 1941 based on the Crusader's parts and components. Due to a lack of vehicles, Britain started mass production without trials. A total of 500 vehicles were manufactured.

The Cavalier leads to the Cromwell.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • High alpha damage, high DPM, and high shell arc on the 3.7" howitzer
  • Serviceable QF 6-pdr Mk. V: decent penetration and handling
  • Fairly fast for tier 5: 46kph top speed, 17.3 HP/T power to weight ratio
  • Decent terrain resistance, holds speed well


Cons:


  • Fast but lacking agility. Mediocre hull traverse.
  • Armor is a lie: 76.2mm face on turret is flat, large 25mm slope on front hull; easily overmatched
  • Gun depression is a lie; -6 over the front, -12 over sides only, hill fighting is difficult
  • 3.7" howitzer has glacial shell velocity, no use for sniping
  • Weak radio, poor scouting options


Performance

With the removal of the Sherman III from the standard UK tech tree, the Cavalier can be thought of as its home-grown replacement. It features several of the same guns, particularly the 6-pounder series, and is vaguely comparable in mobility and protection. Its place preceding the popular Cromwell at tier 6 suggests that it should be played in a similar fashion as a breakthrough tank, but this is not recommended. Though the Cavalier has decent acceleration for a tier 5 medium tank and an acceptable 46kph top speed, it lacks in agility, with a noticeably slow turn rate of just over 34 degress per second even on good terrain, which is almost German.

This ultimately means that it cannot rush the enemy, and must instead turn to more supportive roles such as ambushing and support fire. The Cavalier is not a vehicle for the starring role. It is sorely lacking in armor, especially on the hull, and will be quickly destroyed despite its average hit point pool. It should therefore play somewhat more like the Pz. IV H: taking advantage of its heavy high-explosive firepower against foes at close range and backing off before it is punished. Work with allies to single out exposed or distracted targets, crippling them with module damage and crew injuries from the howitzer.

Players may find that the howitzer's slow, almost snowball-like shell speed is unpleasant to play around. Those who wish to play as second-line support will find the QF 6-pdr Mk. V to be more of a traditional tank gun for this vehicle. While it does less damage per shot than comparable 75 or 76mm cannons, its high rate of fire means that perma-tracking an enemy is an option, and its generous shell capacity will allow for considerable storage of both standard and premium shells. It receives an excellent 180mm of penetration on its premium shells and enjoys better gun handling to compensate for its lower per-shot damage.

Patience is the watchword for this tank. It has speed, but it should not rush straight into battle, especially not as the spearhead. Let other tanks with better armor take point while you serve as a reliable flank protector, contributing your firepower when the enemy is distracted. Enemy light tanks attempting to pull off flanking maneuvers will find themselves unpleasantly surprised by your guns, as your howitzer can easily two-shot enemy light tanks and your 6-pounder can shred them with a shell every 2.5 seconds, and the Cavalier's good turret traverse will prove capable of tracking these lightweight foes. The Cavalier will rarely be the star of a match, but it will often prove to be a useful supporting tank.

  • Note: As of Update 1.9.1, the Cavalier has been buffed. The 75mm and 3.7 inch howitzer have been buffed (oddly enough, no buffs to the 6 pdrs), in aim time, dispersion as well as reload. The mobility has also been increased; the speed was 40/16, now increased to 46/18, along with an increase of hp/t from 15.83 to 17.38, as a result of 40 more engine power.


Early Research

  • The stock tracks are almost overloaded. Either unlock the tracks first or purchase Improved Hardening equipment for a boost to HP and suspension carrying capacity.
  • Unlock the second turret and the QF 6-pdr Mk. 5 next. These improve your basic parameters and the Mk. 5 is a serviceable weapon.
  • Unlock the upgraded engine for better acceleration and handling and the howitzer for a healthy improvement to firepower for ambush-mind commanders.
  • The upgraded radio is no real improvement over the stock radio. Research this last.

Historical Accuracy Errata

The following are consensus errors or inconsistencies which have been identified with the configuration of the vehicle in question and conflict with information available on the public record. The causes for these divergences in the game are normally not disclosed and may be rooted in game balance.

This tank is actually Cruiser tank Mk VIII, (A27L) called Centaur, in terms of armament, because Cavalier and Centaur were basically same tanks, but Centaur had QF 75mm and 3.7 Howitzer. Cavalier had only 6-pounder.

Top speed of Cavalier was 40 kph, not 46

real engine power was 410 bhp

Vauxhall turret is incorrect. Vauxhall Turret was only on Cromwell II, which was a prototype.

Stock turret can carry all of guns in real life
