Something of a departure from the philosophies of more or less all British mediums before it, the FV4202 may seem at first to be simply an upgrade of the Centurion Mk. 7/1 - and may indeed be played as such - but is in fact quite its own beast. Its significantly smaller profile, extremely well-sloped frontal armor and increased agility means that this tank can stand to take on a much more frontal role than its predecessor, and contributes to make it a much more well-rounded vehicle. In fact, the only things that truly stand out about the FV4202 are its good cannon and turret, and slow top speed; in all other regards it behaves very much like a "Jack of all trades, master of none" sort of tank when compared to its classmates.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Very good all-rounder tank
- Higher DPM than the E 50M and M48 Patton
- HESH allows for even higher damage values
- Highly sloped frontal hull will likely autobounce anything coming its way
- Quick acceleration and powerful engine
Cons:
- Relatively slow speed limit at 40, but it reaches it very quickly
- Relatively weak turret with no mantlet - can bounce lower tier guns but Tier 10 tanks will punch through it easily
Performance
Very competitive brawling tank. The theoretical DPM while shooting HESH, which can pen all the other Tier 10 medium tanks from the front, is very high, but the chance of all your shots penetrating is not very high. Exercise caution when fighting in the front lines, as your turret armor, though not terrible, is not strong enough to withstand Tier 10 guns. Use your maneuverability, high DPM, and HESH to their best extent to make yourself a threat to all tanks, while being able to dodge shots quickly and slip back into cover in a heartbeat.
Early Research
None; the struggle is over, you may now enjoy your prize!
