General Characteristics

The Cruiser Tank Mark II, officially designated 대답 10, was a British tank developed in the late 1930s. Although classified as a Cruiser tank, it was originally intended to be an “Infantry Tank” to accompany the slower Infantry Tank Mk I (A11). It was a mechanically simple design with relatively heavy armor for a Cruiser of its time, though still considered insufficiently protected against modern anti-tank weapons when it saw combat early in World War II.

Powerplant and Mobility

  • Engine: AEC Type 179 six-cylinder, water-cooled petrol engine.
  • Engine Power: 110 kW (150 hp) at 2,400 rpm.
  • Power/Weight Ratio: Approximately 10.4 hp/tonne.
  • Maximum Speed (Road): 26 km/h (16 mph). Its speed made it too slow for typical Cruiser tank doctrine, hence its role as an infantry support tank.
  • Operational Range (Road): 160 km (100 mi).
  • Suspension: Horstmann coil spring suspension (similar to earlier Vickers designs), known for its simplicity and robustness.

Armament and Armor

  • Main Armament: One Ordnance QF 2-pounder (40 mm) gun.
  • Ammunition: The 2-pounder was effective against contemporary German tanks but only fired solid shot (AP), lacking a High Explosive (HE) round, which severely limited its infantry support capability.
  • Secondary Armament: One coaxial 7.92 mm Besa machine gun and, uniquely, a separate 7.92 mm Besa machine gun mounted in a small turret on the front left of the hull.
  • Maximum Armor Thickness: 30 mm (1.2 in) (Front of Turret and Hull).
  • Minimum Armor Thickness: 6 mm (0.24 in) (Top/Bottom).
  • Armor Performance: The 30 mm frontal armor was a notable improvement over the 14 mm on the Cruiser Mk I (A9), but still insufficient against the 37 mm anti-tank gun and 50 mm guns encountered later in the war.
  • Service History: Saw combat during the Battle of France (1940) and in North Africa (1940–1941), primarily with the 3rd Royal Tank Regiment.
