You can have it on the Charioteer at tier 8 and you get to slap tier 6’s with it. 215 pen is crap at tier 10 with all the thick armour and spaced crap armour everywhere on russian tanks. 215 hesh at tier 8 is way better than 215 at tier 10. A lack of any real premium round is a huge downside at tier 10 because so many targets you simply cannot penetrate unless you get the sides or behind

The reason that the side armor is 50.8 mm is because that is 2 inches. 1 inch is about 25.4mm. It just happened to be very friendly to WoT’s overmatch mechanic

It’s days like this I’m glad that I’m a “console peasant.” I’m fortunate enough to have the Centurion AX, FV4202, and Chieftain Mk.6 in my garage roster. And they’ve recently added the Chieftain from PC as an earn-able premium tier X with 450k xp. Love these tanks and their play style. Suits my sniper style very well.

In WW2 the British used to have a small cooker on wheels behind some of their tanks as an attachment. After a long day of driving this cooker would be used to make tea. The Brits quickly learned not to do that in the evening anymore as they made excellent target for German gunners.

[@Shorjok]

I absolutely love my CentAX. The DPM *is* bloody solid, and with the ground resistance +p/w ratio it just feels so mobile, I can move about the battlefield and not feel sluggish. I think the primary reason I love it so much though is that it just looks really, really cool.

[@PurgeTrooper]

Been playing the cent and patton recently, and I think I like the Patton more. I think it’s just the better turret armor.

[@PurgeTrooper]

P obviously tier 10 since that’s what this video is about. M48a5 and cent AX

[@PurgeTrooper]

P the tier 9 Patton has troll armor. It’s turret armor works great against lower tiers, but not against higher tiers

[@CrazyPanda688]

The M48 turret is just as cheese as the Centurion AX when subjected to gold spam. Neither do well, only against plebs firing standard ammo

[@Macaroni139]

The cax is the most balanced teir 10 tank. It can do pretty much everything, but it can’t do anything well. If a leopard is picking you apart at long range? Try and get closer. Vice versa if you’re facing a Patton or a 430u. I played it on the test server for a while, and it really changed the way I play this game. It’s a tank for almost everyone, as it shoves all the medium tank play styles into its “thicc” hull

[@karlbradish6486]

forget to mention the ammo Rack woes, I love it being british, The gun can be a sod if your trying to snap but with the bond equipment its a little gem in the right situation

[@ChenAnPin]

I think one could also see another reason why the Centurion AX hasn't had as many changes as the other Tier 10 medium tanks over the 5 years since it was introduced to replace the FV4202. Because it doesn't need it. It is well rounded enough to take on many medium tank roles (ridge fighting, sniping, flanking, dogfighting) without being accused of being overpowered or underpowered.

[@jaspervanhoudt2675]

My first T10

[@MegaOS_Ver_NEET]

my only gripes with the cent AX is the turret front, especially the area around the gun. you can be penned by any t10 gun there with standard ammo. hard to peak over a ridge when they just wait for your gun to poke out then blast that area. especially in a close range hull down poking. edit: and do remember that this is still a centurion hull. if arty hits your engine deck roof flush, it's a sure pen as it got up to 20mm of roof armor.

[@jessiethatgaymer4528]

I want to see a Tier 10 medium or Heavy that has a smaller gun compared to the other tanks at tier 10, but give it a crazy rate of fire or an Autoloader/Auto-Reloader. The 390 average damage is just getting boring to me, along with introducing mediums with bigger guns, but, that may just be me.

[@ywoisug8845]

[@wothg]

The turret is harder to pen than you think. If the player is wise, it will also move when peeking over a ridgeline

[@coalmine8350]

As a player who played Cent AX over 2k rounds.... personally I think it needs some re-balancing. Maybe a slight re-tweak on soft stats As QB said it has not received significant balance patches since the release. The tank is fine don't get me wrong, but I think it's simply got outdated due to most of the MT's in the game has been (STB, M48 etc) and are in consideration to be re-balanced. (like obj.140)

[@soad11dude]

Simple buff for the AX... replace the HE rounds with the 210 pen HE rounds that the tier 9 gets Smart players will load the HESH when it's the right choice and increase their DPM. Bad players will be punished by doing nothing but splash dmg if they spam it Thoughts anyone?
