Vehicle Description

The Crusher is a British heavy tank that places armor and armament above all else. A unique design and changes in its internal configuration led to additional weight and height, which caused significant issues with mobility. Still, its combination of a quick-firing 55 Pdr Gun with thick armor plates makes it a force to be reckoned with.

Historical Reference

The vehicle is conceptually close to assault tanks. One of the ideas incorporated into the Crusher project was to reduce the weight by shortening the hull. Moving the suspension and front support rollers forward allowed to reduce the hull size and improve the armor. Another feature was the placement of the crew in the turret. This allowed to further reduce the length of the hull but it caused some problems with visibility. However, by that time, infantry tanks were no longer relevant: work was stopped at the design stage, only a wooden prototype had been built.
