Description The Cromwell was the product of further development of British cruiser tanks designed to replace the Crusader, which had proved to be under armoured and mechanically unreliable during the fighting in North Africa.
As early as 1940 the General Staff set out the specifications for the new tank, and designs were submitted in early 1941.
After a number of designs had been submitted, it was soon realised that the current British built tank engine (the Liberty) was not up to the task of powering a tank heavier than the Crusader. A new engine based on the Rolls-Royce Merlin aircraft engine was designed to replace it. Production of the new Meteor tank engine was handed over to the Rover Car Company.
The new Meteor engine had approximately 600 hp (447 kW), double that of the Liberty.
A new tank design, based on the initial post Crusader design the Cavalier, was drawn up to take the new engine. The new tank was designated the A27 Mk VIII Cruiser tank. Despite all intentions the first production models of the A27, name the Centaur and designated the A27L, were only powered by the Liberty engine.
It was not until January 1943, that sufficient Meteor engines were available.
The A27 powered by the Meteor became known as the A27M Cromwell.
Initial version were armed with the 6pdr, but the opening Operation Overload, and the Cromwell+s first combat the Armoured Recce Regiments and the 7th Armoured Division were equipped with the OQF 75mm gun armed Cromwell IV, or earlier marks brought up to the same standard.
Cromwells were used to fully equip only one division, the 7th Armoured Division.
The Cromwell was also used as the main tank in the reconnaissance battalions of British armoured divisions because of their great speed.
