Fast-moving medium tank effective against vehicles and can damage tanks. Most effective when flanking Fast rate of fire, high close-range penetration Lower health than other medium tanks

Note: This unit cannot be built directly in skirmishes.

When upgraded with the 6-Pounder Gun Conversion upgrade, the cosmetically becomes the Crusader III. The unit itself is still identical, except for its main weapon.

This upgrade significantly increases the tank's damage and penetration values, at the cost of slightly lower rate of fire and significantly decreased anti-infantry performance. As of result, it specializes the Crusader more as a dedicated anti-tank role, making it far more reliable at fighting heavier armour but far less effective at anti-infantry duties.

Please refer to the Crusader II page for more info about the unit.
