I'm looking for info about Canadian cruiser tanks regarding gun size, armor defense, etc. What German tanks would be able to withstand a shot from their main gun?

P.S. - While we're on the topic, is there a site which lists the gun and armor data for all the AFVs in this game?

The Canadians did build a cruiser tank called the Ram. It was based on the US M3 chassis, but the body and turret was their own design, mainly because they didn't want to use a sponson mounted gun. The Mk1 had a 2-pounder gun, and the later Mk 2 carried a 6-pounder. It was soon replaced by the Sherman and was only used for training tank crews. Also, some Rams were converted to APCs, flamethrower tanks etc

Speaking of cruiser tanks, the Cromwell was a cruiser tank and the successor to the Crusader family. As you can see, there were some design candidates which didn't make the cut! Meanwhile, here's the crash course on what Canada built and operated in the way of AFVs during WW II.
