Brickskrieg | British | Cromwell Tank | 1/100 Scale Blocks Model

The British Cromwell tank, introduced during World War II, was a medium cruiser tank designed for speed and manoeuvrability.

Deployed in 1943, the Cromwell featured a 75mm QF 6-pounder or later a 75mm QF 75mm gun, providing solid firepower against enemy armour. Known for its exceptional speed and mobility, the Cromwell was one of the fastest tanks of its time, capable of reaching speeds up to 40 miles per hour (64 km/h). Its relatively thin but well-sloped armour provided reasonable protection.

The Cromwell played a crucial role in the later stages of the war, contributing to the Allied victories in Northwest Europe. Its speed and versatility made it well-suited for exploitation and reconnaissance missions. The Cromwell tank represented a significant improvement in British tank design and played a key role in the success of Allied armoured operations.
