The Cromwell tank was developed by the British Army during the Second World War to replace the obsolete Crusader in the role of "cruiser tank". The Cromwell was characterised by its very high speed of over 60 km/h and its great manoeuvrability. The speed was often limited so as not to put excessive strain on the tank's mechanics, particularly its suspension, but was nevertheless combined with adequate armour and good armament. The 75 mm main gun mounted in the turret was powerful enough for battles against similarly armoured vehicles and could use the same ammunition as other Allied tanks such as the American Sherman. In addition, the Cromwell played an effective role in close infantry support.
