	Cruiser Mk VIII Challenger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tank, Cruiser, Challenger (A30) was an attempt to mount the 17 Pounder gun on the Cromwell tank chassis to give a tank with more anti-tank firepower to add to the Cruiser tank units.
		Unfortunately, due to quite some short sightedness no provision had been made for deep wading trunking and thus the A30 was unavailable to participate in the Normandy landings, the tank having to wait until ports had been secured and the Mulberry harbours completed.
		The Challenger, despite its high centre of gravity was liked by its crews as it was somewhat faster and more agile than the equivalently armed Sherman Firefly.

		The MK VIB and C Light tank was designed by the Vickers company as was the mainstay of the British Armoured strength during 1939 to 1940.
		The Cruiser tanks MK III and IV (A13), were inspired by the Soviet BT tank, based on the ideas of Walter Christie.
		The main difference between the MK I (65 built) and MK II (655 built) was that the latter to the new cruiser standard of having 30mm armour in the vulnerable area.

		Compared to the Challenger 1 MBT that saw service during the Gulf War, the Challenger 2 features improved second generation Chobham armor capable of withstanding armor piercing and shape charge rounds.

	Cruiser tanks; a style not a model
		While German strategists were deciding that war was going to go to the mobile and tanks would provide the required mobility, the British figured that future war was going to resemble World War I with entrenched lines.
		Thus they channelled their tank development in two directions: "infantry" tanks, having a top speed at about a infantryman's running speed, were to support infantry across no-man's land while "cruiser" tanks, like their naval brethren, were to engage and destroy other tanks (cruiser and infantry).
		British "cruiser" tanks tended to be far faster than their "infantry" counterparts and were usually heavy armoured whenever possible, befitting the British design philosophy.
