The Cromwell B is a British tier 6 premium medium tank.
The vehicle made famous by the British 7th Armoured Division, who had been dubbed the Desert Rats for their exploits in North Africa. However, the 7th Armoured were not issued with Cromwells until 1944, when they returned to the U.K. to prepare for D-Day. In their Cromwells they fought across France and into Germany, and eventually took part in the Victory Parade on September 7, 1945, in Berlin.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Gun is identical in performance against the Cromwell's top gun, despite name and appearance
- Great acceleration, much like a light tank, surpassing Cromwell due to noticeably better terrain resistance
- Increased track traverse compared with the regular Cromwell (50 vs 36)
- Increased credit income
- Can adapt crews from any British medium tank, due to premium tank status
Cons:
- Slightly reduced accuracy on turret rotation than the standard Cromwell
- Suffers from the same weaknesses as the regular Cromwell
Performance
The Cromwell B plays nearly identically to the standard Cromwell, being able to be used as either an aggressive flanker or a mid-range support medium. Generally, both styles are used in a single battle, starting as a support vehicle and switching to as aggressive flanker as opportunities present themselves for the tank to rush in with its amazing speed to chew enemies apart with its quick firing gun. However, it is a delicate tank and care must be taken to not take hits in the early stages of the game, as it will lower your ability to engage harder targets later on.

Historical Accuracy Errata
The Cromwell is considerably faster than in reality, with an engine power of 650 hp compared to the historical 540-600.
- The Rolls-Royce Meteor Mk. IVB engine was only fitted to the Centurion tank. Its configuration on the Cromwell is fake.
- The Royal Armoured Corps recognition mark (or flash) was only used until mid-1942; the Cromwell entered service in 1944.
- Cromwell B uses the gun performance of the 75 mm HV gun. The in-game model, however, depicts the OQF 75 mm gun.
