Advantages:

Top gun has very long range at 1300 m
Good aim time and rather large gun arc
Decent reload time makes up for lack of damage
Small size and very good maneuverability for artillery
Great acceleration and good top reverse speed (43KM/H), excellent for escaping after shooting

Disadvantages:

Poor range for stock gun (500 m), But its still better than FV304
Poor alpha for its tier, but can still easily cripple enemies
Engine speeds are flipped, meaning going in reverse is faster, which can lead to confusion.
Top gun has a low shell arc (but significantly faster shell travel time)
Hard to perform a "drive-by" due to the poor "forward" speed

Tank description:

The Crusader 5.5-in. SP is a British tier 7 self-propelled gun.An SPG on the Crusader chassis with a 140-mm howitzer. The vehicle was developed after the end of WWII. The work on the project was discontinued at the prototyping stage. Never entered mass production or saw service.The Crusader mounted with a 5.5-inch gun could be considered an ''oddball'' mainly in terms of speed. Because the gun is mounted backwards, players spawn back-to-front which means driving in reverse actually achieves a higher top speed than driving normally. The plan is to drive backwards when moving between firing positions, and then forwards when adjusting your firing angles. Its top gun has great range, a good aiming time, and a respectable rate of fire, although it has poor alpha damage for its tier and somewhat low accuracy.The Crusader 5.5-in. SP leads to the FV207.
