Crusher stats at a glance

The Crusher has 1120 hit points , 230mm of frontal hull armor , and a top speed of 24 km/h. Its strongest gun configuration deals 350 damage per shot with 215mm of armor penetration , giving it a theoretical maximum DPM of 1999.

Hull & survivability

The front-to-side armor ratio is 2.9:1. This pronounced angling makes the Crusher significantly stronger when keeping its front facing the enemy.

Mobility

Forward-to-reverse speed ratio is 2.0:1. Reverse speed is limited, so pre-aim and exposure timing matter more on this vehicle.

About this vehicle

The vehicle is conceptually close to assault tanks. One of the ideas incorporated into the Crusher project was to reduce the weight by shortening the hull. Moving the suspension and front support rollers forward allowed to reduce the hull size and improve the armor. Another feature was the placement of the crew in the turret. This allowed to further reduce the length of the hull but it caused some problems with visibility. However, by that time, infantry tanks were no longer relevant: work was stopped at the design stage, only a wooden prototype had been built.
