|InTheGame_performance= The FV 201 has a fairly strong frontal turret, which follows the trend of the Carenarvon and the Centurions. The gun, however, is a similar but less accurate version of the gun that is mounted on the TOG II. With 171 mm of penetration and 150 damage, It is tied for the lowest penetration of any tier 7 HT. The hull armor is weak, though the side skirts fortunately add a few extra mm of armor. There is a huge weak spot on the upper front side of the turret. It is only about 51 mm of armor, and while being shot horizontally will cause the shot to bounce, it can be easily overmatched by most T7 tanks, even many mediums. The rear and engine deck are easily penetrated. | |InTheGame_performance= The FV 201 has a fairly strong frontal turret, which follows the trend of the Carenarvon and the Centurions.

The FV201 (A45) is a British tier 7 premium heavy tank.
Developed starting in 1944 by English Electric as a possible replacement for the A43 Black Prince. Some components were unified with the A41 Centurion. In 1948 trials of a prototype were started. The prototype mounted a Centurion Mk. II turret and a 17-pounder gun. Due to changes in Armored Forces policy and doctrine, development proceeded no further. However, the design later served as a basis for several post-war heavy tanks.
This tank is available upon completing the Freedom to Play event on the NA server.

Performance
The FV 201 has a fairly strong frontal turret, which follows the trend of the Carenarvon and the Centurions. The gun, however, is a similar but less accurate version of the gun that is mounted on the TOG II. With 171 mm of penetration and 150 damage, It is tied for the lowest penetration of any tier 7 HT. The hull armor is weak, though the side skirts fortunately add a few extra mm of armor. There is a huge weak spot on the upper front side of the turret. It is only about 51 mm of armor, and while being shot horizontally will cause the shot to bounce, it can be easily overmatched by most T7 tanks, even many mediums. The rear and engine deck are easily penetrated.
The mobility is slightly below average for a T7 heavy tank. It has a slower kph forward than the average, but a faster reverse, at 31 and 16 kph respectively. Terrain resistance is slightly worse than the tier average. An interesting side effect of the slower speed makes the aiming circle minimally affected by movement. It will be advised to utilize this attribute to your advantage, and firing on the move is a viable tactical option.
