Neither of these saw much service due to the allied Air Superiority during the latter part of the war.

The Crusader was first ordered as a lighter tank that would be given to the tank regiments of the Royal Army. The Crusader was developed in paralell to the Coventer, a tank of similar appearance to the Crusader. The Crusader was so rushed through development that the vehicle had no prototypes built before production: they were rushed into service right off the Assembly line.

The Crusader was sent to Africa to supplement outdated tanks and limited numbers of Matilda "light" tanks. During Operation Crusader, the QF 2 pounder cannon was effective against the German Panzer IIIs, but was outgunned by the Panzer IVs with their 75mm cannons.

The Crusader also sufferred from severl major shortcomings, namely it's light armor, lack of high explosive shells, and design flaws that both caused the vehicle to catch fire when hit or it's many mechanical problems due to poor preparation for the desert campaign. The fact that northern Africa also posessed little in terms of logistical capacity in order to transport tanks to depots where they could then drive to the front complicated matters, with some vehicles breaking down far from any tank transporters or tank recovery vehicles and being abandoned where they broke down, with those that didn't break down suffering severe wear and tear en route to their intended targets.
