Tank description:

The Covenanter is a British tier 5 light tank.A new cruiser tank that featured such innovations as an opposed-piston engine, front placement of cooling radiators, and the wide use of welding. The vehicle was ordered for production on April 17, 1939. A total of 1,771 tanks in four base variants were mass-produced. The Covenanter tanks were used mostly for training purposes in the U.K. from 1940 through 1943.The jump to Tier 5 hurt the Covenanter''s abilities, but it is still a decent all-around tank that can effectively deal with many lower and equal tier tanks, as well as enemy scouts. The turret design drops the spaced armor of its predecessors in exchange for sloped armor on the sides. Unfortunately, its modules - especially the engine - are rather weak, and will break easily if shot.The Covenanter leads to the Crusader.
