The Cruiser Mk. III is a British tier 3 light tank.
The vehicle was developed on the basis of the M1931 Christie tanks, purchased by the British Army in 1936. The vehicle was intended to be a fast, lightly-armored breakthrough tank. The modified design was deemed successful and became the basis for other cruiser tanks. A total of 65 vehicles were built. They saw combat in France and North Africa in 1940–1941.
The Cruiser Mk. III leads to the Cruiser Mk. IV.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good power/weight ratio
Cons:
- Weak armour
Performance
At stock, this little bugger steers like a cow, but once you're going in the right direction, you're gonna pick up speed pretty fast thanks to the ridiculously low weight of the vehicle. To sum it all up in one word, Blitzkrieg, what the Germans did in WWII that you generally can't do in German tanks, the UK LTs are created to do ingame. since we're still in the English invasion that started with 8.1, encountering four or more A13s on your own team is quite common, and although communication between players in random games is far from common, a group of charging Englishmen can quickly overwhelm the enemy defenders, or your own.
Keep in mind that while it doesn't have much of armour, it has very good gun depression, allowing it to fight defensively in hilly terrain, you should also keep in mind that even with the upgraded engine, it still steers like a cow, so plan your attack run accordingly.
Early Research
All guns can be mounted on the tank, even while stock, so first on the list is the pom pom gun, after that you should go for suspension and engine to slightly improve your hull traverse. After that's done, you may choose to research the upgraded turret, or move up a Tier.
