The A27M Cromwell Mk.IV was the most heavily produced version of the new Cruiser Tank Mk.VIII and matched the Centour hull with the highly effective Rolls Royce Meteor engine (A27Meteor), which allowed the tank to travel at impressively high speeds.  The tank also featured a quick firing 75mm gun, which was a re-bored version of the British 6 pounder gun and allowed the commandeer to have the option of using American produced armour piercing or high explosive rounds.  Although originally introduced in November 1943, persistent problems with the new gun's operation meant that the Mk.IV would not make its combat introduction until the Normandy landings in June 1944, where its speed and mobility would complement the Sherman tanks, which were available in greater numbers.
