    A remarkably useless tank given that there are only 4 MTs. T4-7 and teh line ends with 3 HTs. and Premium HT would have been a much more logical choice. (oh haha I said “logical” with reference to anything WG does. haha)

  2. GamingW/War says:

    Another cent for me to pick up? Yes plz! Plus is a premium! My 74 crew will finally be in a tank at a tier I play! Yay! Now in can sell the 42/74 in peace now. If it had a four man crew I would still be using it today. Now it’s irrelevant.

    Better mobility, DPM, than Caernarvon, mostly the same gun handling without being a fat slow ass, with just 150hp less than a caernarvon HEAVY TANK…. please make this bullshit stop…

      wrong tank to compare. this is technically the Centurion the Swedes use to use before they switched to the current Leopard 2s. best tank to compare with should be the Centurion Mk 1 in game

      1. Svenmpa says:

        The Swedes didn’t switch from the Cent to the Leopard 2. They had a few decades with the Strv 103 as their MBT in between the Cent and the Leo 2.

    2. Nocomment says:

      I’m assuming the improved CAX turret carries over to the Caern’. If so it is still better armoured, and no the gun handling isn’t nearly the same. The ‘B’ barrel on the Caern is leagues ahead.

    I just looked it up. Its basically a centurion I. Its pretty much exactly the centurion I, only with other paintjob. Wtf WG? You are so god damn fucking lazy. The only difference is a bit turret armour. This really annoys me

    1. bbmoose says:

      The regular Centurion will also get that turretarmor (see Britisch med-buffs), so it will be 100% the same, except for the paintjob.

      It’s a bit lazy, but at least it isn’t a OP premium tank. If you like the Cent (which I do), you can now drive a premium version. Nothing wrong with that.

  5. wolvenworks says:

    comparing the stats, it is by all means an improvement over the standard Centurion Mk 1 in game (the closest rational thing to compare), which in a way makes sense because it’s based of later models of Centurion, but with theoritically overarmored turret (turret armor values way too high). it is likely that that 200mm+ turret armor is a marketing ploy (which admit it we’re all sucker for it)

    it has a more powerful engine than the Mk1 (700-ish compared to the 81’s 900hp), and the gun is essentially the same as the standard 20-pdr in the Mk1, but with faster reload and better gun handling (in theory, since dispersion values are missing, but aim time is 0.09 secs faster. see note below)

    ref–> http://ftr.wot-news.com/2014/07/23/swedish-tanks-part-xiv-strv-81/ and the wot wiki for the Mk1 (info may be dated. NA wiki crew is a zombie at best. teh wiki still says latest version is 9.16, to give any indication of how long ago they updated it. IMHO they should hand over the Wiki management to the SEA region, since we’re by all means and purposes more alive than the NA PC team)

        Maybe the could make an ozzy centurion, with shrimp barbeque for crew bonus, or 4x beer? Lol

  6. Van Mergeren says:

    It’s a fact that T8 is screwed in this MM. So you must only purchase t10-battle easy playing t8 premium tank -Skorpion G-.

    Rest are, actually, crap.
