Nekudaro, nekuda kwechimwe chikonzero, matambudziko akamuka nekuburitswa kweanotenderera turrets uye akasiiwa, achitsiva iwo ane turret-yakaita senge kuseri kwetangi, chinhu chetangi yaive kuvapo kweinjini mbiri, imwe neimwe yaive nayo. gearbox yayo. Panguva imwe cheteyo, injini nematangi egasi zvakanga zviri mberi kwechikepe, uye magiyabhokisi nemavhiri ekutyaira zvaiva kumashure, kwaiva nevashandi nepfuti dzepfuti, iyo yaiva nemoto wedenderedzwa.

Fuller, mukuru weRoyal Tank Corps, uye gare gare mukuru mukuru uye anosanozivikanwa wedzidziso yehondo yehondo, zvikurukuru akavareverera. Nekuda kwekuedza kwevagadziri, matangi Mk.B uye Mk.S "Hornet" ("Bumblebee") akaburitswa, ayo akasiyana neakaatangira pakuti aive akafanana neakare matangi anorema echiRungu. Mk.C, nekuda kwekuvapo kweinjini ye150-horsepower, yakagadzira kumhanya kwe13 km / h, asi kazhinji yakanga isina zvakanakira Mk.A. Chirongwa chetangi iyi ine 57-mm pfuti uye matatu pfuti yakaramba isina kuzadzikiswa, kunyange zvazvo yaiva tangi iyi, chaizvoizvo, ndiyo yaiva muchina waidiwa nemauto eBritish kubva kuvanjiniya pakutanga kwehondo. Nehukuru hwayo, yaingopfuura zvishoma Mk muhurefu, asi muchimiro yaive nyore uye yakachipa uye, chinonyanya kufadza, yaive nekanoni imwe, kwete mbiri. Nekurongeka kwecasemate yepfuti ye57-mm patangi reMk.C, dhiramu rayo raisazofanira kupfupikiswa, zvinoreva kuti raizokanganisa nemaune pfuti dzemugungwa. Paingova nenhanho imwe chete kubva kune casemate kuenda kune inoshandura shongwe, saka kana maBritish akafunga nezvekusimudzira kwakadaro, vaigona kukurumidza kuwana tangi yemazuva ano, kunyangwe nemaitiro anhasi. Nekudaro, nekurongeka kwepfuti mune wheelhouse, tangi iyi yaive nehombe yekuora mwoyo angle yepfuti, iyo yaive yakakosha kupfutidza zvibodzwa mumigero yakananga pamberi petangi, uye padivi pacho yaigona kupfura. 40 ° kuruboshwe uye 30 ° kurudyi pakati iyo panguva iyoyo yakanga yakakwana. Asi maBritish akabudisa mashoma kwazvo eaya matangi: 45 Mk.V (mu450 akaodha) uye 36 Mk.S (kunze kwe200), ayo akabudiswa pashure pokusainwa kwehondo pana November 11, 1918.
