Both guns had muzzle velocities very close to 3,340 feet per second.Įven so, the Centurion 3 Main Battle Tank was the most heavily armed tank of its category in the immediate postwar years. The up-rated Panther, which had design work completed but never entered production, was to be equipped with the 88mm gun used on the Tiger II. When the Centurion Mark (Mk) 3 (not to be confused with either the World War I Marks or the Matildas of World War II) was developed, it was equipped with an 83.4mm, or 20-pounder, gun. The Centurion was powered by a 600-horsepower Rolls Royce Merlin Meteor V-12 engine the Panther D used a 642-horsepower V-12 Maybach engine.Įven the next-generation Centurion seemed a shadow of the Panther. The Panther D was armed with a 75mm gun with a muzzle velocity of 3,070 feet per second. It was equipped with a 17-pounder 76.5mm gun that had a muzzle velocity of 2,950 feet per second. The Centurion Main Battle Tank weighed 42.5 tons, the Panther Model D, 43.

In fact, it compared well with the Nazi German Panzerkampfwagen V Panther, which had entered service two years earlier. A30 Challenger Stage I, ideally I would prefer to see this as an add-on armour modification for the tech tree machine, but it could be made into a seperate vehicle I’d necessary.At first the Centurion, as the new tank was named, did not represent much, if any improvement over medium tanks then available. Saladin Armoured Car I’m not sure if 5.7 would be the perfect place for it as I can’t recall the effectiveness of the 76mm HESH but it would be roughly around this placement at least. I with the coaxial 20mm, foldered with the current Mk.

Same hull and turret as the 4.7 but with the 7.0 Centurion AVRE gun. It’s only flaw is that it has no support. Although I personally wouldn't mind it going to 5.3, I would prefer it gets its realistic reload rate or we get given one of the prototype tanks with a 20mm and send it to 6.0 along with downtiering the charioteer there too to create a viable lineup. When the centurion was introduced it was a little too strong for 5.7, however the armor nerf has reduced its effectiveness to to functioning as another comet as it can no longer semi-reliably bounce shells from tanks it faces. 3 of a br due to the amount of more contemporary vehicles faced. A bunch of tanks have been moved to 5.3 (IS-1, ARL-44, Tiger H1 and Panther D etc.) however the Centurion, which is the only 5.7 British tank and comparable to inferior in armor to the IS-1 not also brought down which would also round off the British 5.3 lineup to something that can compete with the Germans and Russians? Is it because there are so few British tanks and there would be nothing to fill the gap from 5.3 to 6.7? Because more than a fair number of players do not use the centurion at 5.7 and continue using the charioteer and comet until they unlock the centurion mk3, and the Russian tanks go from 6.3 to 7.0 in br which I would say is a far bigger difference despite being less of a gap by.
