Crew:
- Commander (Radio Operator)
- Driver
- Gunner (Loader)
Advantages:
- Incredible fire rate with top gun. DPM is the best of the Tier 6 light tanks, and even rivals some Tier 8 mediums
- Low profile and good camo values make hiding in bushes easy
- Decent view range of 360
- Tied with T37 and VK 28.01 for highest health pool (680) among tier 6 light tanks
Disadvantages:
- Slowest of the Tier 6 light tanks
- Aims slower than it fires, leading to a trade-off between accuracy and DPM
- Only 7 degrees gun depression at the front; the maximum of 12 applies to the sides only
- Poor armor, completely ineffective at tier 6
- Lowest standard penetration and alpha on its top gun of all tier 6 lights
Tank description:
The Crusader is a British tier 6 light tank.The Crusader was developed by Nuffield Mechanizations Ltd. from 1938 through 1940. More than 5,300 vehicles were mass-produced from 1941 through 1943. They were most extensively used in the North African campaign in 1941–1942.NOTE: In update 1.9 the Crusader was reclassified as a light tank and was moved up to tier 6. As such, it once again receives the light tank concealment on the move bonus. The Crusader is commonly regarded as a difficult tank to play effectively, requiring a high skill level and punishing your mistakes at every opportunity. Its mobility is similar to the Covenanter, meaning that the Crusader is not the quickest or most agile of tanks and is only just able to escape from danger. The low standard penetration means it is critical that you learn enemy weak points. The Crusader is most capable when played like a jackal, assisting other tanks in dealing with distracted enemies.The Crusader leads to the GSR 3301 Setter.
