CS Cruiser Tanks Ammo loadout

[PDF]

What a devious idea, tanks firing smoke only .. Typically British, isn't it ?
I also read the history of the Matilda MkI, which was to cost so much that in the end the tank was just armed with a single MG

I guess if your fielding tanks with poor quality paper thin armour specifically designed to maximise shot traps a few CS tanks with smoke is a virtual necessity But all jokes aside it is a pity the correct ammo loadout is hard to model. For those that dont like smoke it shows how inmportant it really is. A tiny armoured force equipped with these early cruisers and there CS smoke belching support managed to sweep the Italians clean out or north africa.
Got to say the matila I is certainly one of my favourites, what a spectacular looking piece of machinery with all that exposed running gear and tracks. Looks funny but I guess still pretty unpleasent when it trundles up to your trench dealing death. Not to mention the shock value of being unable to dent the bl##dy thing.
