A33 Excelsior Heavy Assault Tank, was above all a heavy version of Cruiser Tank Mk.VIII Cromwell.
Excelsior weighed 45 tons and had a maximum shielding of 114 mm.
The shielding allowed classified this tank in the heavy tanks, but its armament was completely insufficient against the German heavy tanks and the project was abandoned in 1944.

Because of tiny budgets for tank development in the interwar years, at the outbreak of the World War II the US Army possessed few tanks, though had been keeping track of armor use in Europe and Asia.
Initially a multi-turreted design was proposed, with two main turrets armed with low-velocity T6 75 mm guns, one secondary turret with a 37 mm gun and a coaxial.30 caliber machine gun, and another secondary turret with a 20 mm gun and a coaxial.30 caliber machine gun.
The design was somewhat similar in concept to multi-turreted breakthrough tanks developed in Europe in the 1920s and throughout the 1930s, such as the British Vickers A1E1 Independent.

The most numerous British manufactured tank of World War II, the Infantry Tank III Valentine was known mainly for its inexpensive cost and high reliability.
Based on the A10 Cruiser tank, the Valentine was privately designed by the Vickers-Armstrong corporation (hence its lack of an "A" designation) and was submitted to the War Office on February 14, 1938.
The Valentine was Britain's most mass produced tank during the war, having manufactured 6855 and a further 1420 in Canada.

The main drawback to Cromwell was its lack of gun power, so it was logical to produce a tank with more hitting power to back up the 75mm gun, so Challenger was designed to mount the British 17 pounder gun.
This was a British attempt to produce a tank destroyer, armed with a 17-pounder gun, with an open-topped turret in order to reduce weight.
The next logical development of the Centaur / Cromwell design was to produce a tank that really had the firepower, protection and mobility to match its German counterparts.

In view of the disappointing performance of the A22 Churchill Infantry Tank at Dieppe in August 1942, the A33 heavy assault tank was built as an interim, combining the functions of the cruiser and infantry class tanks, mounting a 75mm dual purpose gun.
The A33 was based on a A27 hull with heavier armour.
Two pilot models were built with the first prototype using similar tracks used by the American M6 heavy tank and the second, wider Cromwell type tracks.

December 28th, 2004, 07:44 AM KNow the valentine was a Brit tank designed and built by Vickers the design of the chassis layout came from the A10 to meet an urgent requirement for an infantry tank in 1938, a total of 8275 valentines were built by 1944 when production ceased.
By D-Day most Britsh tanks were Cromwells and about 1/2 the Canadian tanks that landed at Normandy were Valentines and the Canadians even had Valentine funnies, the original DD tank was a Valentine.
The Valentine was designed as a Infantry tank so it had excellent armor protection but it was fast enough to fill in the Cruiser role when the Crusader was pulled from combat and it had a reputation even with the Soviets for excellent durability.
