Christie basically built tanks on wheels which could be fitted with tracks. In fact you could rhen them on their wheels like cars and race around, at least if you were running on flat ground like a paved road. The Crusader was a good idea on paper, making up for its weak armor with high speed. And it is difficult to track a fast tank with a slow moving anti-tank gun or a turret on another tank. But speed can't stop a shell if it hits and more speed usually comes with the price of mechanical problems. If that situation occured, then the Crusader was a sitting duck.
its 'weak armour' was actually fairly decent when it was designed and entered service. it had more armour than contemporary german and italian medium tanks for example (just because the former were able to upgrade to being better armoured doesn't take away from this fact). and the cromwell was plenty fast and statistically the most reliable medium tank of ww2 (yes it broke down and had issues far less often than even shermans) and stuarts were even faster than crusaders yet more reliable (hence they eventually got the 'honey' nickname). its not its speed that caused its reliability issues.
A lot of Tanks & Armored vehicles used Aircraft engines, or derived from Aircraft Engine here is a partial list.

Those are aircraft derived engines. Aside from the ones that used the Liberty, I cannot think of any engine of this time that saw service in vehicles used in combat that was an aircraft engine.
"As World War II loomed, Nuffield, producing British Cruiser tanks, licensed and re-engineered the {Packard} Liberty {aircraft engine} for use in the A13 (produced as the Cruiser Mk III) and later Cruiser tanks." "The reconfiguration of the Mk. III Liberty engine into a flatter format to fit into the Crusader {Cruiser, Mk VI} engine compartment had badly affected the tank's water pumps and cooling fan arrangements, both of which were critical in the hot desert temperatures." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_L-12#Tank
There is nothing wrong with the tracks, the tank is light enough that them being narrow isn't an issue. The main issues are the air filters being exposed at the back of the tracks and clogging up with sand constantly, the poor cooling system (common problem in the desert) and a lack of spare parts. When they were working they performed well.
@@Arrrbol true, especially after Nuffield sent a team out to make sure that they were getting prep'd properly. Also, later ones had addressed most of the issues and also had the 6pdr, but the reputation of the Crusader never truly recovered, which is a real pity.

It wasnt so much the engine that was unreliable it was the very cramped engine bay which made maintenance difficult plus the Oil and Water cooling systems that were the problem, the cooling fans were driven by a Motorbike chain about 9 foot long which wore out and slipped causing the engine to boil up. The engine air intake filters also caused problems they were mounted on the track guards at the back above the drive sprockets exactly where all the dust and muck gets thrown up by the tracks. Not the best tank of the war but one of the most handsome and that engine noise
@@guaporeturns9472 Yes but once the cooling and filtration system was sorted out the Nuffield Liberty was a reliable engine. It was still in use in the late 1940s in the Crusader gun tractor when other cheap or free vehicles were available. You feed any engine a mix of hot dusty air it's going to fail rapidly. The Crusaders ancestor the Cruiser MkIII which had an earlier version of the Nuffield Liberty was considered very reliable in the desert.
The meteor had the same displacement as the Liberty but nearly twice the power. I wouldn't give the British credit for using such an antiquated piece of technology.
no, unreliability was its worse issue. one of the main reasons people forget about operation crusader is that the british were not able to fully exploit the victory as a result of the unreliability of the crusader. and the battle was almost lost in part due to said unreliability. its gun (especially on the crusader mkIII) was good enough against most of its contemporary opponents (remember tigers were super rare, and the 6pdr was plenty to deal with panzer IIIs, IVs and italian tanks. even the 2pdr was good enough against the lighter armoured versions of those tanks like the earlier pz IIIs and IVs). furthermore, the turret ring of the crusader was actually larger than that of the churchill, why they didn't bother makeing a 3-man 6pdr/75mm turret for the crusader went they did for the churchill (and the AEC mk II/III). simpl put the turret ring of the crusader was very good for its period of use, and had they been more reliable it likely would have soldiered on into north west europe as similar armed vehicles did.

After the Campaign left Africa, and went on to Italy and France, Nearly all british tanks were left in africa. The british mainly stuck with the reliable and decent , american made, sherman. Despite the rumors that the sherman is outclassed by german tanks, there were not many heavy tanks the sherman faced. (according to U.S army statistics, the sherman only faught 3 tiger2 tanks.

.. the whistling sounds of tanks....most tanks ..especially..after bruised n batterred..easy usual suspects..for adversaries..🤭😬.. I guess from the wheels..bearings?..or.. anybody?..where exactly?
Unreliable, awful interior space(ok, this was common to a LOT of other tanks), insufficient main weapon (2pdr, not the 6), light armour, guess why was replaced by US' tanks? P.s. in the Mk III version the commander had to seat backwards, for lack of space, the 6pdr was too big for the turret.
And it dosnt have that crappy Christie suspension. In 1941 Soviets were planning to change the production from T-34 to A-43 with torsion bars and only the war prolonged the production of T-34. USA and IIIrd Reich never bothered with it.
The crusader could get pretty close with the speed limiter removed. The speed governor really limited it. In the official tests it could go well over 65kph, but was limited due to the excessive wear and tear it caused. Some crews with removed governors unofficially clocked it at 89kph But the hellcat was unofficially clocked at 97kph, so yeah. Fastest tank of the war. Wouldn't surprise me if the later engine models of hellcat could break 100 running empty.
eraldorh That's just semantics as a result of the naming scheme. You'd be hard pressed to argue the significant difference between a type 64 and a hellcat, yet one is considered a tank while the other technically isn't. The same could be argued of the wolverine vs the sherman. As far as it matters, it was a tank.
+Brent Smith I wouldnt be hard pressed to argue the difference at all. A tank can engage all targets a tank destroyer can only engage tanks, m-18s were only equiped with AP rounds and had no mounted machine gun and had little to no armor and no roof on the turret so couldnt deal with infantry where as a tank can. Just because a vehicle has tracks doesnt make it a tank. The type 64 is from a different generation, had both ap and HE rounds and a mounted machine gun. Quite a few differences right there.
the first vehicle is an A.13 Mark I Cruiser Mk.III with additional spaced armor on the turret normally seen on Cruiser Mk.IVs the second is an A.15 Cruiser Mk.VI Crusader
+Ian Shearer It is a high speed tank. 24hp/t. 50% more than any medium tank. If you were talking about the top speed, that was set at 30mph for safety and maintenance reasons. No army needed faster tanks. Look at the Comet for example. Britain was making a bigger Cromwell but they decided to set the engine governors at 52km/h - Wiki quote "to preserve suspension and engine components and to reduce track wear". Soviet concept of cavalry or cruiser tanks died with the BT-7. T-34 didnt need to go faster than 50km/h.

The drive plate is problematic. It comes loose and kills the crew.
@@jonsouth1545 Bigger tracks would increase resistance and reduce the speed and acceleration.
the crusader wasn't that unreliable, it only got that reputation because the air filters kept clogging from the dust in Africa.
And the dust filters being placed in the dustiest place of the tank, above and slightly ahead of the rear sprocket wheels.
