[About actual vehicle]
- In 1934 the British asked for cheap general purpose tanks due to the impact of the world recession.
- Vickers Inc. has developed a cheaper version of medium tank Mk.III than in advance and was adopted as a cruise tank Mk.I (A9) in 1937.
- Since the armor pressure of A9 was 14 mm, a type reinforced to 30 mm was also ordered, and this was adopted and mass-produced as a cruise tank MK.II (A 10).
- Initially it was equipped with a water-cooled Vickers gun, but it was changed from an in-process production to an air-cooled Besa machine gun and it was called Mk.IIA.
- In the 1940 Battle of France against the German Army as a Continental Army, it was used as a main tank until 1941 even in North Africa.
