The A13 Mk.III Cruiser Mk.V Covenanter was designed as a cheaper and lighter cruiser tank to replace the cruiser Mk. IV. It was armed with a two ponder gun and had 30mm armour. Problems with engines overheated made it unsuitable for deployment overseas, relegating it to training in the UK. Although the Mk. IV solved the overheating issues it was declared obsolete in 1943 https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/a13-mk-iii-cruiser-mk-v-covenanter/ #Covenanter #a13covenanter #tank #Cruisertank #BritishTank #WW2 #military #warfare
The A16 was a design for a heavy cruiser tank developed in Britain in 1938. A review of heavy cruiser tanks being developed resulted in the A16 being cancelled and work concentrating on the A15 instead. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/a16-cruiser-tank/ #A16CruiserTank #tank #CruiserTank #BritishTank #WW2 #military
