The Cruiser Mk. IV is a British tier 4 light tank.
An upgraded version of the cruiser tank Mk. III. The tank featured armor enhanced by the additional screens. The Cruiser Mk. IV fought in France in 1940 and in the early stages of the North African Campaign. This vehicle last saw action in the winter of 1941–1942. A total of 655 tanks were mass-produced.
In game, this tank has an excellent gun depression, superior even to the M4 Sherman. The QF 40 mm Mk. VI is very effective at it's tier, capable of crippling most tanks up to tier 4. Overall, this is a very effective tank and great fun to play with.
The Cruiser Mk. IV leads to the Covenanter.

Player Opinion

- Good gun depression
- High top speed
- Great Gun.
Cons:
- Weak side armour
- Sluggish hull traverse
Performance
A step up in the world from the A13 Mk. 1 (III), the A13 Mk. II (IV) is an up-armored version. The 40 mm Pom Pom can now fire 2-shot bursts and the new QF 40 mm Mk. VI auto-cannon is available, along with an improved engine. However, the hull traverse, especially at high speed, is just as sluggish as on the A13 Mk.1 (III), so making tiny circles at high speed with this tank is virtually impossible. Also, the QF auto-cannon has very unstable penetration, and will bounce many shots that you expect will penetrate, so make sure that you aim at the weak spots. Sniping is neglected by the relative inaccuracy of the 40mm Pom Pom and QF Mk.VI, forcing the tank into Close Quarter Combat.
Early Research
Equip the 40mm Pom Pom from the previous tank, and focus on the tracks and engine. Then focus on your turret and the QF 40mm Mk. VI. Finally, research the radio if you haven't already from the previous tank, or proceed to the A13 Coveanter.
