Not sure what to interpret from the tank name

- 1950s casual racism?? Or that particular tank was worse than the rest??

Two more same/similar in the sequence

 If you leave the responsibility to me, I'll just toss a coin a couple of times ....

 DSL let's get this methodical if you compare the graphics of the 3 types Crowwell (and later Centaur) had that distinct air intake behind the turret

does the one you post it have it ?

 Cromwell it is

no wonder most britsh tanks were ditched after american Sherman were available...

even in middle of war they still have bolted turrets instead of welding :o


and they had crazy designations too, here the complete one

 No clear shot of rear of turret to show intake (or not). 2nd thumb is as good as it gets.
