Basically a stock [[Centurion Mk. 7/1]] with the 950hp engine, downtiered. Yet with significantly lower RoF, 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. | Basically a stock [[Centurion Mk. 7/1]] with the 950hp engine, downtiered.

+ | 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. | |||

Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good gun: great penetration and gun depression, also a bit better handling than the Centurion Mk. I
- Great engine power, better mobility than the Cent. MK. I despite being heavier
- Enhanced UFP with decent thickness, though still not very reliable
- High view range
Cons:
- Apart from the UFP, hull is still underarmored and fragile
- UFP is only good for its tier and when angled some higher tier tanks
- The armor "skirt" is absent, HE splashes will cost you more
- Large size, poor camo values
- Overangling the UFP may expose the side of UFP which enemy may track and pen you
Performance
Basically a stock Centurion Mk. 7/1 with the 950hp engine, downtiered. Yet with significantly lower RoF, 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.

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.

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.
