The Charioteer is a British tier 8 tank destroyer.
The upgraded version of the Cromwell tank. A new turret and a 20-pounder 83.4-mm caliber gun made this tank a potent adversary. According to different sources, between 200 and 442 Cromwell tanks were converted to the new Charioteer standards.
The Charioteer leads to the FV4004 Conway.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Fast, being based off Cromwell chassis
- Excellent gun - accurate, high penetration, good ROF
- Above average camo values
Cons:
- Poor gun depression
- Very weak armor, low HP pool
- Extremely fragile engine that often gets set on fire
- Slow turret and hull traverse
- HESH premium ammo.
Performance
The charioteer is a Medium range killer. The job on this TD is to deal as many damage it can, before being lit. With 400 standart damage points, The charioteer can quickly deal with tier 8, even tier 9 tanks. The HESH mechanism does not work on this tank, so do not even bother buying gold ammo. With its mobility, you can be tempted to get a most advanced position. Forget about it. Being in the front line is a death setence.
Early Research
The top Radio and Engine will be unlocked if you elited the pityfull Challenger, or through most of the other tank lines at tier 6, so equip them right away. The Type B barrel will be unlocked if you researched the AT 15. Unlock the tracks first. It's not needed to equip the 105 L7 top gun, as it weighs the same as the Type B, but the remaining load on the stock tracks won't give enough room to install much equipment. You can equip Binoculars and Camo Net, but not Ventilation unless you stick with the Type A barrel (it's 40kg lighter then the Type B).
