Heavy Tank w/Rear Mortar Mark.IV Male Tadpole The Mark IV was a British tank of the World War I. Introduced in 1917, it benefited from significant developments on the first British tank, the intervening designs being small batches used for training. The major improvements were in armour, the re-siting of the fuel tank, and easier transportation. A total of 1,220 were built: 420 "Males". In an attempt to improve trench-crossing capability, the tadpole tail was introduced, an extension to the rear track horns. Some of them were fitted with a mortar, using the free space to increase firing power of the tank.
