[Client Values; Actual values in
Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

AnnoGB86_Centurion_Action_X.png

The Centurion Action X is a British tier 10 medium tank.

The Action X turret was planned to be used for later variants of the Centurion tank. One prototype of the turret was mounted on the chassis of the Centurion Mark 7, and another was used for ballistic trials. The vehicles with the Action X turret never entered mass production or saw service.

Replaced the FV4202 in patch 9.12. The Centurion Action X is a hard-hitting medium tank with great aiming time and decent mobility, The Action X turret provides decent protection with good sloping and armor values. But, due to its large size, it is vulnerable especially against SPG if you're not moving around.

The Centurion Action X marks the end of its British medium line.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • Good top speed, high P/W ratio, good mobility; turns quickly and has good terrain resistance values
  • Powerful and accurate L7 gun with excellent gun depression
  • HESH rounds are of decent penetration; can be very effective against thinly armored targets
  • Thick sloped turret armour, mostly proof against non-premium rounds except for top tier TDs


Cons:


  • Prone to module damage, especially the ammoracks in the front hull and sides, often losing the tracks by the same hit.
  • Turret armour is not reliable enough to deflect all shots
  • Very large size makes it a common target for artillery
  • Somewhat lousy dispersion penalty on movement by tier X standard


Performance

The Centurion Action X is a significant upgrade from the Centurion 7/1 in every aspect and a further refinement of the play style. It retains the excellent gun depression and powerful L7 gun of its predecessor, but with greatly improved mobility, greater accuracy on the move, and even better turret armour. All this combines to make a tank well suited to the hull-down style of its predecessors, but now with the option for rapid flanking and firing on the move as well. Still, the Centurion Action X does not have the armour to stand up in a prolonged fight against powerful tier 10 guns, even hull down, so making use of the upgraded speed and mobility is essential. However, while the Centurion AX's upgraded mobility can allow it to brawl if necessary, the Centurion AX is a second-line fighter at heart. Its large size coupled with moderate DPM compared with other tier 10 mediums make brawling a dubious proposition at best. The Centurion Action X is best suited for combat on hilly terrain; by making use of its 10 degrees of gun depression, the Centurion Action X can hide its massive lower glacis, and significantly increase its turret armour. When using all ten degrees of gun depression, even weak spots such as a plate just above the gun, or the plate directly below the gun, can reliably bounce shots from most tanks. Though it has an abundance of hitpoints, the Centurion AX is best suited for the second or third line of tanks, supporting the team's heavies, or playing like a turreted td. Players who love the Centurion 7/1 will find the Centurion AX a most satisfying tank to play, allowing a greater array of play styles due to its good maneuverability, at the expense of a large chassis with mediocre armour. In update 1.20 the Centurion recieved minor buffs to gun handling and reload time. The top speed was buffed by 2 km/hr. While this does not help alleviate the mediocre armor, the Centurion is now a much more versatile support/flanker tank, being able to react better to map developments.

Historical Info

The history of the Centurion Action X started in 1955 - as a part of the development work on the vehicle a new turret was proposed. The main difference between the old Centurion turret and this new one was the absence of gun mantlet (that on the Centurion covered most of the frontal turret area). This solution allowed the frontal turret part to have much more sloping, which significantly improved the shell protection. This turret was tested with both the 84mm 20pdr and the 105mm L7.


The Action X program assumed only the development of a new turret, the hull was supposed to be the same as the one of the contemporary Centurions. Two turrets were made as a part of the program: one, fully equipped, was put on a Centurion Mk.7 hull and underwent series of complete mobility trials. As far as we know, this vehicle didn't survive to this day. The second turret however did - this one may have been used for firing trials (shells were fired at it to determine how resistant it is). It suffered only minimal damage and currently sits at Bovington.
