Tank description:
The Archer is a British tier 5 tank destroyer.This powerful, lightly-armored tank destroyer was capable of engaging enemy tanks of any type at distances up to 1,000 meters. Top speed was relatively low because of the underpowered engine and weak suspension. Nonetheless, the Archer was a successful reuse of the outdated Valentine chassis. A total of 665 vehicles were built from 1943 through 1945.The unique tank that shares traits with Crusader SP for mounting the gun backwards on a Valentine chassis. That makes its reverse speed much higher than forward speed (12/35 KM). This means that for travelling, you must drive backwards. However, this awkward gun placement can save your life from flanking (Especially because it''s thinly armored). It can mount a deadly 17 pdr gun aka nightmare in Tier 5.The Archer marks the end of its British tank destroyer line.
