Cromwell Mk VIII (Cruiser Tank Mk VIII)*
*
Many of the users of the 6 pounder versions*
considered the 75mm gun in this model a*
step down, as it had less anti armour punch*
than the 6 pounder AP, let alone the APDS*
round available for it.*
*
However, in Northern Europe once the German*
heavy tank losses in Normandy made tanks a*
rare target, and AT guns more so, the HE*
content of the 75mm was more use than AP.*
