Crusader Mk I (Cruiser tank MK VI)*
*
This was a popular tank with its crews, after*
initial teething problems were sorted out,*
however it was never quite a match for*
the German vehicles met in North Africa*
being underarmoured, and with its 2 pounder*
armament becoming less competetive by 1941.*
*
5,300 Crusaders of all marks were built.*
*
(Cruiser MK V was Covenanter, which was*
found unfit for service, after hundreds were*
manufactured and it was only ever used as a *
training vehicle)*
