Before anyone gets off their rocker, this is super test stats, if anything, they’re just making a baseline for how to tweak the tank into something unique
Still, the turret front actually is 254mm thick in the current supertest, as compared to 152mm on regular Centurions.
That’s a pretty big difference.
You will find its including a gun mantlet into that
Or i could be crazy
No it isn’t, some russian YT channels showed that the cheeks are 254, not the mantlet armor.
Either way we know the turret will probably be tougher than the regular centurion, the extra armor is probably why the power to weight ratio is so low
With the gun stats, looks like it’s gonna be similar to T26E5 (USA Heavy Prem) ???
It might be viable IF the do something about the piss-poor HULL armor. Yeah, -10 gun depression…armor is still piss-poor. The UK lines (heavy above Tier VIII) might be more popular / FUN if they could TAKE a couple shots before dying, while the opponent is bouncing or “we didn’t penetrate their armor”.
great, another knockoff tank.. must not take a lot of skill to come up with ideas at WG
What medium tank would you suggest for the Swedish tree? Centurions and Strv 103s are basically all sweden used for decades.
There was a version of the lansen which could be tier 8 medium and there are plenty of choises for the tier 9 and 10 with all the different udes proposals, but most likely wg wont finish the medium line

How come the turret armour is better than the pre-nerfed Centurions let alone the crap they have now?
WG probs want to see what would happen.
TBH it makes no sense in practical terms, but with this mobility…it kinda needs to be this way.
I’m thinking they’re trying to midway the Caern and Cent and get an universally decent tank.
Hopefully normal Cents will get buffs as well.
Time will tell, this is first ST iteration, so…
I would assume this would also make its way to the non-premium British Centurions if this version works out. They’re badly in need of a turret armor buff IMO, as their armor is just about useless at this point with how unreliable it is.
because wg does not care about historical armor anymore
My issue is that it is a medium tank, and Sweden’s end game tanks are Heavy and TD’s. This seriously limits its use for crew training.
Where does it say it’s gonna be a medium? WG might make it the tier 8 heavy premium. That would explain the turret armor buff.
make centurion great again
Give it a 105mm and rename to Strv 102… then I’ll think about it…
So many better options for a tier 8 premium though. Would be nice to get the historical Emil 1 as a premium HT at some point
Would be nice if the Swedish were made historical at some point as well, but I digress
In their recent video of the public test and unhistorical buffs of tanks namely the germans, I think they made it clear they aren’t playing historical anymore
Why have a premium MT when there is no tier X MT?
More so when Swedes already have tier 6 premium MT.
Can be a usefull tank for making credits but useless for training crew…to train the crew for Leo???…thinking that is the second medium premium tank on this incomplete line makes me wonder what on hell is on the mind of wg stuff?
where is VIII CZECH tank?
Buff the British Cent please (Turret armor buff). This tank looks great!
Well now this is odd… I did not expect to see this in game… OH WAIT why not? WG could not have an original idea if their life depended on it.
254mm turret? Welp, if this tank is classified as a HT, i think it’d be like the T26E5, or as my folks call as Jumbo Pershing.. It’d make more sense if this is a HT, with cent speed buff coming to differentiate the regular Cent and this thing..
Slower and more armored Swedish Centurion is nice as long as it’s a HT like how Swedes specified it (cmiiw)
Well if WG make this the premium T8 Swedish heavy then I can see the 254mm turret as a compromise to a lower P/W ratio, but WG please make this the Strv 102 with 105mm if it is going to be a heavy. The 84mm does not fit the Swedish playstyle at T7+. (if you fit the 105 on the Leo)

Buff the front armor, nerf the speed to 35 kph and make it a heavy and then I would understand why they add it.
At best IS3 mobility but without the armor or the gun !?
russian T 44 clones get half the terrain resistance better armor and better power to weight probably even better guns and with the possibility to train high tier tanks also I see no point in having it
think they overestimate the chances to find a usefull hulldown position and give supporting fire especially in a tank as large and bad armored as this thing
Give it 2,5 k dpm 0.30 acc 1.9 aim and 0.5 med terr res and lets talk again
I love my Caern/Conq and Centurions but playing the support role is very hard in this game.
It forces yoiu to be aggressive where you should not be.
Aggression always takes precedence in PvP games, sadly.
Yes I loved my cent and caern long time ago one of the first lines I was going for
But since then accuracy spread got fucked at least two times
open maps got ” rebalanced ” to canyon style
Or nerfes going against armor
while a lot of other tanks got buffed instead
tanks are useless trash now imho
At least they are trying to increase the centurions now but I bet its far from being enough to make these tanks okish again
The stats are exactly the same as the current supertest Cent I apart from the reportedly tougher turret. So I have no idea where people are getting the “This is the HT Cent” idea from. Maybe its part of a planned future finished MT line.
so this is with stock engine? has to be if you sac its exactly the same
otherwise this one has 12.8 hp/t and cent 1 is at around 17
Look at it on the tank compare Feature On the live Server and its go 990hp now and its still an MT. 14/7/17
