You can unlock this vehicle during the special event : War Thunder Chronicles!
The A33 Excelsior Heavy Assault Tank is an up-armoured and up-gunned experimental heavy vehicle based on the chassis of the A27 Cromwell Cruiser tank that will be available as a reward for this years World War 2 Chronicles series of events.
In the second half of 1942 there were concerns about the performance and combat utility of the Churchill heavy infantry tanks. They were too heavy and unreliable so it was suggested that further production should be put on hold and that the idea of a unified tank chassis for both branches (infantry & cruiser) of combat vehicles be investigated.
The Rolls-Royce Company proposed a significantly redesigned version of the A27 Cromwell with stronger armour plating, suspension and better armament. The second version was proposed by the English Electric Company based on the suspension and tracks derived from the American M6 Heavy tank design. Both designs intended to simplify the then current production of heavy Infantry tanks.

Two prototypes were built by English Electric, one based on their initial idea of the M6 Heavy tank and second with widened Cromwell tracks and strengthened side armour plating. Both designs were eventually deemed as unnecessary and the plans scrapped after the production problems of the Churchill heavy infantry tanks were solved.
The A33 Excelsior was powered by the Rolls-Royce Meteor V12 petrol engine with a maximum of 625 horsepower and was able to reach up to 20 mph (39 km/h) on flat road, or 12 mph (19 km/h) in combat conditions on uneven terrain. The combat weight was around 45 tons with a maximum armour plating of up to 4.5 inches (114 mm). The vehicle was operated by 5 crewmen in standard conditions and armed with Ordnance QF 75 mm cannon and two 7.92 mm Besa machine guns.
The Excelsior will be interesting alternative for the fans of British Infantry heavy tanks and unique vehicle, that will shine in its special way on the battlefields of War Thunder. Show your enemies you are no pesky casual, but a true War Thunder veteran that fought hard to get this special historical piece of machinery in the Chronicles of the World War 2.

Damn The age of TOG tank has arrive already i need to prepare my Subamrine I-401 with it because it a land battleship
Now what I'd like to know is whether that 114mm of armor is on the turret and the hull or just one of them. This thing would basically be a British T14, aka a baby Jumbo Sherman for them.
Why are all these premium only why can't e have the same in the normal trees it's so pay to win sometimes just like the other game premium has preference over the normal trees we get the rubbish sometimes and they get good ones
75mm OQF mk. v with only 110 mm penetration at 10 meters? o.O
Yay! Another tank that U grind like hell and yet you didn't get, MMMMMMMMM! ( Triggered)
It SO nice to grind like crazy to only get shit and not what U wanted even though you played for hours of your time and energy just to get nothing in return.
Shouldn't it be 24 mph
look at all those 90 degree angles
Dear Gaijin Team, please think about this possible fix/addition, The Sabre tree for America had 20mm guns (or they got them later) and they could carry unguided missiles that could pen 175mm of armor on tanks, and could drop bombs, could you possibly add this?
From the info you gave us it will be a tier 3 premium right? What battle rating will be?
Its a shame this beautiful tank was way too hard to earn.
