Description Warrant Officer Class 3 Steel Lance
Gender: Male

"Alright lads, get ready! This is going to hurt!"
Description: A very stalwart commander. He views tank crews as sort of like Equestrian knights of olden times. As such, he sometimes orders the tank to be driven head-on into the enemy in a one-on-one battle. Despite this, he's far from using unnecessary tactics. He also avoids ordering the tank to attack much weaker opponents, except for those that pose too much of a threat to allies such as scout tanks and artillery. He loves war documentaries and books and even has a collection of miniature model war vehicles, although most of them are British. He's the older brother of Merry Melody.

Staff Sergeant Silhouette
Gender: Female

"Alright let's see...is that a Panther? No wait, too small and the turret is shaped wrong...wait a minute....oh dear, A KING TIGER! AND IT'S GOT A BLOODY 105! BACK UP, BACK UP!!!"
Description: A natural changeling. She was actually raised in pony society her entire life, never knowing what it was like to live as a hive-born changeling. She can identify tanks very quickly by looking at their general shape. She can also quickly assess how dangerous said tank is by identifying their guns. She has gotten the crew out of of dangerous situations before they can develop. She's also somewhat cowardly, preferring to flee rather than fight stronger enemies. As gunner, she doesn't have much choice but to simply suck it up when the Cromwell is in active engagement against bigger foes. It helps that her fear is offset when her crew members are confident due to changelings feeding off of emotional energy, which does not cause any noticeable side effects amongst the crew. Although she has a preferred disguise, she does not use it often anymore except for during formal occasions and when traveling to other places in public other than her adopted home city of Trottingham. She does birdwatching as a hobby. She's a childhood friend of Steel Lance and Merry Melody. She's is often referred to as just "Sil".

Staff Sergeant Sharp Turn
Gender: Male

"Aye, what's the matter? A drunk one-eyed pigeon can shoot better!"
Description: A very cocky driver, Sharp Turn can make the tank dodge shells left and right. He always starts taunting the enemy when they miss, and starts goading them into attacking when they are waiting right around the corner. He always has several cups of coffee a day, which might explain the Cromwell's somewhat erratic movement in comparison to other Cromwells. If the tank is tracked and under fire at the same time, he'll start slamming his head against the viewport. He'll start cursing at the enemy if the tank becomes a smoking wreck. He can make very tight maneuvers by handling multiple controls at once with his magic.

Staff Sergeant Merry Melody

"O'er azure skies,
And emerald plains,
Where freedom and justice prevail!
With courage and strength,
We'll fight to the end,
For liberty in our land!"
Description: Finding out that her brother has joined up with her combat group made her very happy. She doesn't hesitate at the sight of British tanks anymore, although sometimes becoming a little confused when she sees enemy Cromwells and Comets. She actually works as both the radio operator on Chalky's T29 and as the radio operator on her brother's Cromwell, while also training to be a commander on a American medium tank that Quickshot and Photo Copy (the new loader on the T29) is going to be transferring to. Due to her current side training as a commander, she is getting better and better at spotting tanks. Once again her singing talent and various music raises crew and allied morale. She enjoys singing with others, such as Loud Mouth and Guitar Solo.

Sergeant Clear Canvas
Gender: Female

"I always have some ammo stashed all over the place for ammo emergencies!"
Description: As a artist, Clear Canvas loves painting the tank. This is usually a coat of camouflage paint in order to hide to Cromwell, although sometimes it's painted a very colorful design that actually makes it easier for the enemy to spot them. She also handles deploying and withdrawing the camo netting. While she also loads the shells for the tank, she tends to do some preparations for the upcoming battle, which usually involves hiding extra ammo for the tank all over the battlefield. She's very good at doing this-the ammo is hidden safely away in places that the enemy would never suspect. She sometimes draws on spent shells inside the tank. Same thing for the interior of the tank itself, in fact her part of the tank is filled with small doodles and paintings. She is very attached to the Cromwell, to the point of even using it as her everyday sleeping quarters. Partially due to this, the crew is not going to be transferring to a brand new Comet tank. Instead the Cromwell will eventually be converted into a Comet tank.

Why would a Brit tank be on the enemy team? What kind of war are they fighting? What's the purpose of life?

Just aim for the gun mantlet, there is no almost no armor there so it is easy to break the gun, then just Smack em around before hitting the gun again..

Cromwelth. Decent battle tank, can knock out a Tiger II if ya maneuver it right. So could a Sherman, still good tank. Reliable as the crew. Only one I am spotty about it the radio operator. Good job.

Eeyup. I'd rather have a battalion of medium size reliable tanks then one single heavy tank. I have seen Sappers in CoH knock out a Tiger II. Funny sight.
