 So, in War Thunder the Centurion Mk 2 is a transitional version from the first production vehicles to the Mk 3 version. From the Centurion Mk 1 we get the QF 17-pounder gun, a strong hull front with an upper glacis at a rational angle, and from the Mk 3 version we get a cast turret, gun stabiliser and improved armour of the gun mantlet. The strong point of the Centurion Mk 2 is definitely its frontal protection. Indeed, the angled upper frontal plate of the hull, the cast turret, as well as the reinforced armour of the gun mantlet, allows the tank to survive enemy fire and be able to fire back. The chance of ricocheting is much higher when a commander turns the hull from the enemy and uses uneven terrain to increase hull angle of impact. The Centurion Mk 2 is armed with a 17-pounder familiar to British commanders, but in this version of the tank, the gun received a stabiliser that allows it to fire on the move at low speed.   For a medium tank, the Centurion has a low maximum speed - only 37 km/h (41 km/h in arcade), although the tank reaches its maximum speed quite fast even on unpaved terrains, and maintains good dynamics and manoeuvrability. Another problematic point of the tank is the thin armour on the sides of the hull that can be penetrated, in general, by any tank guns and many autocannons. Commanders are advised to study the ammo replenishing order and clear a few internal niches from shells - this really increases the chances of survival.   For the premium Centurion Mk 2, you can get a special camouflage inspired by the colour scheme of the 8th Royal Irish Hussars regiment from the period of participation in the Korean War, with American white stars on the sides so as not to get under friendly fire. In this camouflage the tank is damn good! We will tell you how to get the Centurion Mk 2 and the hussar camouflage in the upcoming announcement of the full list of rules for the new season of the War Thunder Battle Pass Her Majesty's Hussar - stay tuned for the news! |
