    The TK tank:

    Crew: 2
    Engine Power: 40hp
    Combat Weight: 2,430kg
    Max Speed: 46km/h
    Length: 2.58m/8.46ft
    Range unk.
    Width: 1.78m/5.84ft
    Main Gun; 7.92mm machine gun
    Height: 1.32m/4.33ft
    Armour: 4mm to 8mm

    However, this post is probably invalid due to the fact that the TK series were built from 1931. Of those built during the war years, the British Crusader series were probably quite bad, even in the desert they were awful.

    The MKIV was considered an infantry support tank as it was equiped with a low velocity 75mm gun.     </font>

    variants were used in infantry support roles and early models did have low velocity short barrelled guns ... but the MKIV tank was the germans main battle tank from 1943 till the end of the war.

    The MKIV underwent a lot of development throughout the war, with the addition of a higher velocity gun, additional armour and redesigned turret. The Ausf H model was the most produced varient.
