Additional Information

in spite of serious mechanical issues in the early cars, MK.IV, or "Churchill" earned a high reputation among British combat machines. By tradition, inherited from the diamond-shaped tanks of the First world, the priority of the design was given to strong armor, the ability to cross wide trenches and move on the ground covered with explosions. Speed was not considered an important factor, as the tank was created to support the infantry. The tank, named after the Prime Minister, began shipping in June 1941. Machines were classified according to the thickness of the reservation and the design of the tower. MK.VII was significantly different from previous models, the hull and tower had a completely new structure. So, for the Assembly of the housing is not used rivets, it was fully welded. Maximum booking was increased from 102 to 152mm which resulted in an increase in weight and therefore further reduced the already low speed. The tower has been redesigned for greater durability and productivity. Four walls of different thickness were made with a single cast part on which the roof was welded. As the main weapon used a powerful 75mm gun. Active use of Churchill, especially since the "Day-D", allow us to call this combat vehicle the main tank of the UK.
