* Gun range: 500 m
* Large gun arc
* Very agile, much like the T57
* Good Power/weight ratio

|InTheGame_cons=
* Poor accuracy
* High dispersion while moving/turning
* Slow shell traveltime
* Open front and top (In fact, almost everything is exposed)
* Shells can't fly through the interior because of an invisible zero armor zone

|InTheGame_research=
* Nothing carries over from the Vickers Medium Mk. I.
* First, research the Ford V8-221 Engine.
* Reseacrh the WS No. 11 Radio, followed by the WS No. 9 Radio.
* Finally, research the Loyd Carrier Mk. II Suspension.

|History=

The Loyd Gun Carriage was a proposal for the British army to mount a 76.2-mm gun on the chassis of the Loyd Carrier artillery truck. Developed from 1940 through 1941. The project was scrapped in the drawings phase and no prototypes were manufactured. However. there are several documented examples of vehicles beeing modified to carry artilery pieces, althow that was more of an improvisation rather then a real project beeing prepared for mass production.

==Development history==

The Loyd Carrier was built upon the mechanicals (engine, gearbox and transmission) of a 15 cwt 4x2 Fordson 7V truck with mild steel bodywork to which armour plate (referred to as 'BP Plate' in Loyd manuals) was bolted (to the front and upper sides) depending on application. The engine was at the rear of the Carrier with the radiator behind rather than in front. The transmission then took the drive forward to the axle at the very front where it drove the tracks. Both the front drive sprockets and idlers (which were also sprocketed) at the rear of the tracks were fitted with brakes, actuated by a pair of levers by the driver. To turn the vehicle to the left, the brakes were applied on that side and the Carrier would slew round the stopped track. The upper hull covered the front and sides but was open to the rear and above; as the Carrier was not expected to function as a fighting vehicle this was not an issue. To protect the occupants from the weather a canvas tilt could be put up; this was standard fitment from the factory. As part of the rapid development program and use of pre-designed parts the Loyd used parts from other vehicles. From the Universal Carrier the track, drive sprockets, and suspension units. From the Fordson 7V, the chassis, engine, gearbox, torque tube, axle and brakes.

The Army tested the Loyd Carrier in 1939 and placed an initial order for 200 as the Carrier, Tracked, Personnel Carrying i.e. a personnel carrier. Initial deliveries were from Vivian Loyd's own company but production moved to the larger firms including the Ford Motor Company and Wolseley Motors ( 13,000 between them) and Dennis Brothers Ltd, Aveling & Barford and Sentinel Waggon Works. Total production of the Loyd Carrier was approximately 26,000
