14:17Now PlayingThe Centurion main battle tank was one of the most successful post-World War II British tank and is arguably the most successful British tank design of all time. Conceived in the middle of World War II the tank was intended to be the next in Britain’s series of cruiser tanks.
Development of the Centurion started in 1943. The vehicle was designed as a "universal tank" to replace existing infantry and cruiser tanks. The Centurion was the first British vehicle that featured sloped armor plates. The tank entered service in 1947. A total of 100 vehicles of this series were manufactured from 1945 through 1946.
A notable step up from the Comet, featuring a great gun selection and still very agile, just like its predecessors, the Centurion Mk. I is a good tank for its tier. Although notably bulky and with spectacularly poor hull armor, it is quick on its feet and its 20-pounder gun features equally spectacular penetration. It appears to have something of a weakness in that its ammunition rack and driver are both vulnerable to frontal hits.
