Or that particular tank was worse than the rest??

If you leave the responsibility to me, I'll just toss a coin a couple of times .... |

DSL let's get this methodical if you compare the graphics of the 3 types Crowwell (and later Centaur) had that distinct air intake behind the turret does the one you post it have it ? http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/gb/A27M_Cruiser_MkVIII_Cromwell.php -- Last edit: 2017-01-21 23:05:56 |

Cromwell it is no wonder most britsh tanks were ditched after american Sherman were available... even in middle of war they still have bolted turrets instead of welding  and they had crazy designations too, here the complete one /vehicle_549415-Leyland-A27M-Cruiser-Tank-MkVIII-Cromwell-MkIV-1943.html -- Last edit: 2017-01-21 23:25:11 |

No clear shot of rear of turret to show intake (or not). 2nd thumb is as good as it gets. |
