Sheikh_Manti_AlHaitham:sea: I'm just trying to make it look more neater and more professional. Especially the comparison between the M60 and the Cent 5/1 tier-per-tier, i consider it to be an irrelevant comparison.

 Basically a stock [[Centurion Mk. 7/1]] with the 950hp engine, downtiered. Yet with significantly lower RoF (10.53 rounds/min vs 8 rounds/min, for the same gun in the Centurion Mk. 7/1 and in this tank, respectively.), its playstyle rather resembles that of its brethren, the Cent. Mk. I. Differences in their armor layout does matter, but not to any great extent: if left unangled, the thicker UFP still won't hold against anything higher than 200mm pen, which isn't absent from even tier-7s; the sideskirts do pre-detonate HE and HEAT shells, but the hull sides aren't thick enough to resist most HEAT at its tier anyways. Those familiar tactics inherited from other British meds work highly effective in this vehicle, and it would prove to be very rewarding doing so.
-This tank can be seen like the tier 10 M48A5 Patton, at tier 8, although with a gun handling best described as average or even mediocre and a lower alpha value to compensate it for being a tier 8 tank.  Still, the gun is good for its tier considering that most of its tier 8 peers have 200-212mm penetration value in average. The eggshell hull may be seen to be better than the frontal plate but the frontal plate (upper) can hold up at its tier.  Over angling the upper frontal plate exposes the side of it which has the side armor value. This can lead to being penetrated and also being tracked all at once. The turret, however, can give even the mighty Jagdpanzer E-100 some problems provided that it hits the mantlet, and only on some lucky occasions. It can have 300-400mm effective armor thickness and mantlet can absorb 420mm pen heat rounds from it, when it is hulldown. Against Swedish TD's or high-tier Russian HEAT rounds, however, the chance of bouncing their shots with the turret is a 50/50 especially if it hits the areas next to the mantlet. In short, against high-penetrating premium rounds from tier 9 tanks and upwards, and from some tier 8 TDs, the turret can quite unreliable, but fortunately it can reliably bounce standard rounds from tanks of its peers and even from tanks above its tiers. Mobility wise, it is better tier-per-tier compared to the M48A5 Patton, but not that much. Overall, a classic British hull-down medium tank in line with its Medium tank high-tier brethren, with a good gun and a reliable turret.

-This tank can be seen like t10 M60A2 patton tank at t8.  Gun handling is better in dispersion but weakened alpha and pen to balance at t8.  Still, it is good for its tier.  The eggshell hull may be seen to be better than the frontal plate but the frontal plate (upper) can hold up at its tier.  Over angling the upper frontal plate exposes the side of it which has the side armor value. This can lead to being penetrated and also being tracked all at once. The turret... IT CAN GIVE EVEN A JAGDPANZER E100 PROBLEMS!  It can have 300 effective thickness and mantlet can absorb 400 pen heat rounds from it.  Against sweden td is a 50/50.  The mobility is better than the patton. Overall, good gun, good armor for hulldown and sometimes as a medium heavy, and good mobility... ill let you decide.
