	This engine was used in the A27M, known as the Cromwell III, (not to be confused with the later [[Administratum\|Cromwell III variant]].) This tank would have been fitted with a high-velocity dual-purpose 75mm cannon, capable of taking on German armor at the time.

However, [[Fail\|the high-velocity version of the gun couldn't fit within the turret, so a lower velocity 57mm dual-purpose gun was used instead until the turret could be redesigned.]] This took so long, that by the time they were able to redesign the Cromwell to accomodate a 17-pdr (the Comet), the war in Europe was already in its final stages.

			Funnily enough, the engineers at Vickers noticed that the American 75mm shell used with the Early Shermans could fit within the existing 6-pdr (57mm), so long as they modified the breach and bore out the gun. While this modification lasted for the rest of the war (only one division ever got the Comet, and 17-pdrs/70somethings were instead mounted on dedicated tank destroyers; one of which, the Challenger, was an experimental design based on the Cromwell, with an even worse turret), the 75 ROQF was still more of a "generalist" gun that had "okay" HE performance and an AP shell that could only penetrate German heavies up close, and even then only on the flanks.
