Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Very good stock gun
- 2 Gunners, which is good if you decide to keep the tank
Cons:
- Very weak armor
- Poor speed
- Lacks agility
Performance
This tank is rather slow, with a top speed of only 40 km/h, and it is certainly not agile either. Combined with its weak armor, you will die quickly if caught in the open. However, this tank does have an excellent stock gun, which is both accurate and fast-firing. You can also use the 40mm Pom Pom gun, which fires two-shot bursts, but it is only suited for close range. Given the Cruiser Mk. 1's armor values, close quarter fights are not advisable. Plus, the stock gun has better penetration and the same damage values, therefore you have no real reason to want to spend money on the 40mm. This tank can be very rewarding when played in a support role, staying behind the front line and supporting the main force by picking off enemy tanks with its rather accurate gun.
Early Research
- Research the AEC Type 179 engine first for much needed horsepower.
- Next research the upgraded suspension for improved maneuverability and weight capacity.
- You might want a good radio to know where it is that your allies need fire support.
- Go from there.
