For historical information, Wikipedia has an article on Cruiser Mk IV.

Cruiser Mk IV is a British tank.

Description[]

The Cruiser Mk IV (A13 Mk II) is the direct successor of the Cruiser Mk II and Cruiser Mk III, and the direct predecessor of the Crusader cruiser tank series.

Its main armament is the Ordnance QF 2-pounder gun. It is also equipped with a Besa machine gun on the coaxial mount. It shares the relatively weak armour of its predecessors, though especially the turret was up-armoured with spaced armor plates to increase protection. Therefore it should use its mobility to its advantage in armoured engagement.

It appears in maps set in the North African theatre up to 1942.
