Churchill Infantry Tank

What is your favourite car of all time?

The fourth in the British series of infantry support tanks, the Churchill proved to be a successful and reliable design. It had the heaviest armour of any British tank in service in 1942, and an adequate cross-country speed with excellent cross-country ability. However, like its predecessors, the infantry Mk1, Matilda and Valentine, the Churchill suffered from inadequate armament. Its ability to fire high explosive, except from the close support howitzer in the hull, was a serious weakness. Only a few were actually equipped with the howitzer, the majority mounting a 7.92mm machine gun in the hull instead.
