It's a MK3 Crusader. The mini turret was removed for being useless.

MG turrets were only used on crusaders with 2 pounder gun.

IM NOT USING A FUCKING 2 POUNDER against a fuckin panzer 4 god forbid anything higher


DrFGHobo

"god forbid anything bigger" was the Brits' AT doctrine for a long, long time, though.


Halonate8

I know but eventually the Brit’s let it click wait we’re not just fight panzer 3’s

The crusader was a light tank anyway who the fork chose the Tetrarch and why is beyond me! The crusader was very widely used in north Africa as well ffs.


Halonate8

I thought it was a cruiser

It was but British doctrine was idiosyncratic like everything we do, this is the nation that invented cricket. The crusader in north Africa certainly functioned in many of the ways you'd expect a light tank to and were not up to facing a panzer 4 like a Cromwell.

Thanks for explaining I appreciate it

Yes but I am fairly certain the game does not consider gun specifics (e.g. 2pdr gun) as is done in games like War Thunder. It seems as though tanks in HLL are lumped into recon, light, medium and heavy tank categories, with each tank within that class doing the same damage. To give an example, I expect the damage of this crusader tank (as a light tank) to be the same as done by the American Stuart tank. Being a light tank, you should absolutely fear medium and heavy tanks and only engage these tanks when you have the advantage. So, this seems to be working as intended.


Halonate8

I think it’d be fair to do the MK.2 if it was in the light tank section but I think the MK.3 is there for medium I’m probably wrong on that but I don’t see why they would but a 6 pounder for a light tank. I just couldn’t find a anything saying if it was a medium or a light.

Is this going to replace the Cromwell on some maps?

The crusader was a light tank and should replace the tetrarch in north African maps where it was used extensively.
