The tanks in WW1 were not very strong. They overheated inside a lot so you could not stay in them for very long. The outside metal layer was very thin and you could shoot through it in the first models.

The tanks were effective in some ways. During WW1 Trench warfare was popular, (Trench warfare was people would dig trenches and climb in and shoot at the other trench) and it made it easy for the Tanks to drive on top of the Trenches and squish everyone inside. (some early models were not heavy enough)

I hope this helps!

Why did the British build separate cruiser tanks to fight tanks and slow moving tanks to support the infantry?

Britain was slow to change from WWI tank tactics. In WWI they had slow moving infantry support tanks. Once tanks began to fight each other on the battlefield, it was necessary for Britain to develop faster, cruiser tanks specifically to battle enemy tanks. It was similar to how America used their tanks in WWII, however they weren't the same ideal on how the tank is constructed. Later they developed tank destroyers specifically to fight other tanks. These were based off pre-existing tanks with lighter turrets and heavier guns.
