Crusader

British cruiser tank, developed 1940. Although it was fast, it was initially unreliable and even when modifications had been made it was under-armoured.

It was withdrawn from combat May 1943 and converted to use as an anti-aircraft gun carrier, artillery observation post, gun tractor, and similar tasks.
