?* Good power to weight ratio+<gallery>

 +* Very good responsiveness and mobility
 +* HESH shells allow for inordinate damage over time against soft-shelled targets
 +* Excellent gun depression and gun handling with and balanced gun characteristics
 +* Surprisingly strong upper front plate due to sloping

 +|cons=
 +* Limited top speed
 +* No effective armor other than upper front plate
 +* No gun mantlet leading to an overall less reliable turret, unlike its predecessors

 The FV4202, by dint of being so well-rounded, fills some sort of imaginary hole between nearly all other Tier X medium tanks. By now, having played the Centurions, one will be used to the role of support tank, and thanks to its quite accurate gun and higher DPM than the [[E-50 Ausf. M]] the Brit can fill this role neatly. However, limiting oneself to that alone is sort of undeserving of this tank's potential, as it has superior gun depression and respectable camouflage. Its agility also means that it can fight in between buildings and wolf pack quite effectively, which all adds up to making it a quite potent flanker, best employed as a long-range harasser and sharpshooter from the sides of the enemy front. The FV4202, by dint of being so well-rounded, fills some sort of imaginary hole between nearly all other Tier X medium tanks.
