In May 1944, british firm AEC completed project for a new heavy tank, which had to respond to the demands of a high-mobility, high-quality armor protection and greater firepower.
At the time of the onset of new technologies, applied in the development of medium and heavy tanks in the world, originated in the Uk project, created by a group of designers of the tanks of the World War 1.
When the conflagration of World War II also affected the Pacific region, it seemed highly unlikely that the indigenous tribes of the remote Fiji archipelago would join the Allied effort to clear the occupied islands of the Japanese.
The self-propelled cannon called Archer was initially taken by its crews with considerable contempt, however, the unusual design proved its advantages in combat deployment in Western Europe.
