This upgraded version of the Centurion was developed by Leyland Motors and featured an expanded hull, improved cabin design, larger fuel tanks, and enhanced armor.

The Centurion Mk. 7 (or Centurion 7/1) is a British Tier 9 Medium tank. It is similar to the American Tier 9 Medium, the Tank:M46 Patton and plays like it as well. The Centurion 7/1 is a formidable tank, even with its stock gun, engine, and tracks. It has a OQF 20-pounder gun Type A Barrel which must be played through to unlock the next gun, also a 20-pounder. The second gun then must be played to unlock the turret, and after the turret is unlocked, you can research the 105mm Royal Ordinance L7A1 gun.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• 105mm Royal Ordinance L7A1 has the highest penitration of any tier IX medium tank gun avaliable.
• Solid gun mantlet.
• Absolutely stellar gun depression.

Cons:

• The tank silhouette is larger than all other tier nine medium, and most heavies in the game.
• Poor Brawler.
• Weak armor just about everywhere, only 200MM~ effective armor on the upper hull.

Performance

When you first purchase this tank. Play it as you would a centurion I. You have the exact same gun, turret and handling capabilities until you get the 105mm it is a interestingly challenging grind to say the least. The Centurion 7/1 is a poor brawler, keep at least 50+ meters betwen you and your enemies. While you have the 20LB you must think out side of the box as to how you will support your team. Use your mobility to find a position on the flanks of the enemy and make their life miserable. You must shoot for weak spots and engage the enemy while they are distracted. Hulldown positions are your best friend! Stay hull down and your life expectance increases dramtically.

Early Research

• Research the engine first, for a much needed mobility increase.
• Then begin on the path to research the 105mm Royal Ordinance.
• First, Get the 20lber Type B gun. Afterwards you should then mount the Mk 7 turret before finally griding out the final gun.
• You can then easily earn the xp for the tracks as a minor mobility boost.
