Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Very good maneuverability
- High RPM
- Short aiming time for 2 and 6 pounder
- All-around sloped armor
Cons:
- Bad armor
- Very weak damage for best gun [ max 112 damage, though this is almost never achieved.]
- low penetration for all guns
- Very weak howitzer [47mm penetration, and only 250 alpha damage.]
Performance
This tank is fast, with a high RPM on the 6 and 2 pounder guns, but it has bad armor, and about 96 damage per-shot, so don't go fighting heavy, or even some medium tanks. as being the only tier 5 light tank, it suffers severely. Also, it is relatively fast for its tier so tank destroyers and a easy target if you can get around them without getting shot. Overall, This is a light tank with a gun not suitable for tank-on tank engagements, so it would be in you favor to scout, snipe, or charge and circle tank destroyers until they are destroyed.
Early Research
- Prioritise geting mk.3 turret and 6 pounder gun
- Buy running gear before new engine.
- Do not buy 3-in Howitzer, as it is very weak.
Historical Info
Designed as the cruiser mk.IV using the Christie suspension, but had 5 wheels on each side instead of 4. It was born form the failure of the Covenanter and used a a better engine and running gear, with new 6 pounder gun, and was a very important tank of the desert wars of 1941-42. but was put out of production
in late 1941, because its armor and 6 pounder gun where completely inadequate when fighting later models of the Panzer 4 and Tiger. The crusader lived on as a gun carriage, a repair tractor, AA vehicle etc.
