Dont change rating. This tank is just good. Nothing more nothing less. It used to be my favourite premium tank for some time... utill i got another 100 of premium tanks.

[@BonifacyGolonka]

The same here, it was my favorite premium tank, well I won't gonna lie, Progetto is better but RAAC is easier tank to play it requires less brain power so I rather play it when I'm tired than Progetto.

[@Blanckich]

I'm also suffering from those lags... In my opinion the tank is okay, but certainly 230 alpha damage is a bit meh nowadays (considering it's a single shot cannon). I think it would have to have at least 280 alpha damage to reach the 4 star category...

[@jannovy7229]

For me the ping stays same, just the lag indicator turns red and I continue to do what was my last input - if that's moving forward or sideways (to avoid getting hit to cupola or other weakspots) when I'm in a shoot-out between several tanks in cover over a small field I sometimes get slaughtered because of that - it is most likely happening because of packet loss.

[@hamishalexander5048]

you could add on index that you have the old rating also shown in brackets when you rate tanks new

[@johndoran3274]

Absolutely my favorite tier 8 medium. Find a ridge line and chew up tier 9s like a bag of popcorn. Many times I’ve bounced JP100s and HoRi shells off of the turret when angled correctly. Gun is accurate but a little weak.

[@SatelliteYL]

Another man of culture 🤝🤝🤝

[@grahamaker1648]

That lag spike is in asia server for months now. Normally start around 8pm Malaysia time until late into midnight. Lost so many games from that issue and I can’t play at night anymore because of it

[@AI_admin]

also noticed this lag spike on Asia, and WG don't give a shit about the Asia server.

[@endahummukharis2838]

Months? You meant years. After they move to HK, the lag spike is even worse, had the best ISP in my country but still lag even outside peak hour. In SG, lag spike only occur during peak hour, and that is when I was still using cheap ISP, understandable. Back then, often play in my friends house with a better ISP and during peak hour, it still have some lag spike but not as bad as cheaper ISP. Now with HK, pretty much I've been camping, because how can I push when the lag spike could strike anytime?

[@qmt1610]

Lol, i'm also playing in HK server but rarely experience any lag whatsoever. Always stay at 40-50ms, pretty smooth to me, couldn't remember any lag.

[@benedicvelasco]

Forget buying the FV4202. Even before the buff, this tank is way better.

[@fireshorts5789]

I've also been getting those lag spikes on NA for the past few months. Ping is just fine then it shoots up to like 200ms for a few seconds, then its fine again.

[@peytonembaugh1484]

Yep me too. So,random and will completely screw me out of a game

[@jannovy7229]

Same on EUW. Except the ping stays same, just the lag indicator turns red and I continue to do what was my last input - if that's moving forward or sideways (to avoid getting hit to cupola or other weakspots) when I'm in a shoot-out between several tanks in cover over a small field I sometimes get slaughtered because of that.

[@veoa416]

I love 5/1. Good pen, accurate, decent dpm for a tier 8 med, decent mobility and a strong turret with gun depression. It just works. 220 alpha can be annoying but I feel like 240 is very common in tier 8 too, 220 isn't much worse. It is my best performing medium together with kunze all across the board.

[@gebhard128]

i really enjoy the cent 5/1, armor is strong, especially the turret hulldown, gun is reliable, DPM and alpha is the only weakness this tank got so u can struggle a bit in the 15-3, but in slower controlled games its great. 4 Stars from me, not evry tank that is not as powerful as CS lis or Progetto can be trash class

[@bronkothetervueren3246]

I had the same problems with Lags, and it was my Internet provider. Other games worked fine. The problem where at the point where my provider exchanges data with another provider on the route to Wargaming servers. Probably because they had not enough capacity in this bottleneck. This problem was well documented in the german part of the WoT Forum. So I changed my Provider and the lags where gone.

[@djoleradosavljevic2580]

Had some crazy lags today, and it has not been an issue for me before. Don't know what they are doing with the servers....

[@SpicySpiritual]

Oh yeah I have the same problem, there's a huge lag and I can't do shit about it, tank goes sideways to the enemies or whatever f, literally in every battle. Like ffs why ?!

[@myocardial_infarction]

Those lag spikes are really annoying. Get them fairly routinely myself for the past few months.

[@QTL6719]

6:14 skills problems seem so light, but in the end, he is mastering itr pretty well and giving us good overview and that beeing said shows how good he also is in evaluate sober

[@jonmassey5619]

I get Lag most days now... As a Sniper Schnitzel i am usually hiding in a bush and then my TD tank just zooms off out of cover towards enemy and i'm DEAD..🙄😡 RIGGED

[@ashtheswan705]

Some recent update definitely made servers less reliable, same thing happens to me every few days and is very frustrating

[@gergelydaranyi8740]

Im not playing this game, but i love your videos, cos u r a very likeable guy and has a great personality and pation to. Also if u angry thats funny to. I always watch your video when eating or just chilling to ghet a rest. Keep up the good work dude.

[@Tom-tt5li]

I feel like lately there is quite a few tanks which are kind of between ratings.. Would not be beneficial to extend index of half star? In this example to make the tank 3,5 star?

[@geerliglecluse5297]

I have a lag problem as well, and it's not my internet or gaming PC, SUPER annoying.....

[@curtislaketek2952]

Yes server lag with 15 ping for me but red circle

[@reaperex9608]

0:00 Good day sir, yes im ready lets go!

[@TheLeatheredneck]

“Looks like WG really wants to sell this thing”…fuckin lol

[@jannovy7229]

For me the ping stays same, just the lag indicator turns red and I continue to do what was my last input - if that's moving forward or sideways (to avoid getting hit to cupola or other weakspots) when I'm in a shoot-out between several tanks in cover over a small field I sometimes get slaughtered because of that - I think it is usually happening because of packet loss.

[@tacticalmechtank5556]

This tank still deserved 4* simply because of the hulldown capability. Its turret armor really makes me feel confident poking over the ridge line against the enemy. The gun acc is good and that matters more than dpm or alpha dmg for its play style imo.

[@bungiesnowflake]

" Silly Goose Mistakes " ... lol. Wonder what the visual representation of that would be on a T - shirt ?

[@SatelliteYL]

Love this tank to bits. My best credit maker. Glad it finally got a new video

[@carloinator1833]

does anyone know why he dont need to pay the ammo at first two games?

[@TheCharles1234567]

Probably prebought. Either he changed ammo loadout recently and had a stock in the depot, or he sold/upgraded a tank that had the same gun (centurion 7/1).

[@carloinator1833]

@@TheCharles1234567 OK thanks, cause im looking for a nice Tier 8 to Farm Credits but Centurion is very Low rated in Credit Farming and i was wondering

[@aznbaconftf8]

Plus this tank has the hull armor of the tier IX so it can help against lower tiers

[@tudorlasus]

hey skill. eventually you can add the possibility to rate 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 stars so tanks that are in between ratings can have their own!

[@IcarusRising5228]

Not just Luck skill, That tank is just absolutely phenomenal.😂😂😂

[@peter190387]

Hi Skill: love your Videos! But mm is brutal this week. I had 1 match equal tier and 19 matches T10 with hwk12 and teams out of this world. Like CC and Strv camping 15min while I am pinnned down and need help to kill enemy light. Also every match >3 lights.

[@eric-wb7gj]

CCs get preferential MM, WG have already stated this.

[@Fin4L6are]

I never have the lags but have other bugs

[@FRUMindsEye]

Aiming unit is such a weird choice for this tank. Vstab all the way

[@bwphotoguy1]

Have this tank....love it!

[@ElsinoreRacer]

It felt weirdly sluggish after the Comet, and so I did not like it. Until I checked my win rate. It has long been of my favorite tanks because I even though I have all kinds of arguments with it, it just keeps winning.

[@koynelistifado]

Personally I have a blast with this tank an any tier. Just find a hull down position and enjoy. Also you didn't mention for the gun depression witch it have quite good and it's mobile as well. For me is 5⭐

[@sartosfera]

My favourite tank. Had only one bad thing for me - stabilization, and they buffed it xD Also best looking tank in the game.

[@berrywarmer11]

It's big, low camo, isn't very agile, and has awful alpha damage by T8 medium standards these days. On the plus side, the turret armor is good, it's straight line mobility is decent, the DPM is okay, and the gun handling isn't terrible these days (it used to have terrible bloom but that's been reduced a bit in the past few years). IMHO it's okay overall, I'd rate it as a 3 stars. To me, rather than being a medium, it feels like a slightly more mobile Patriot but with 3x the base shell cost

[@daveyjones4451]

gun is great armor is great only thing that lets this tank down is the alpha i always find. Problem is when you have newer tanks that slap for over 300 alpha its hard to keep up

[@Derguz]

The problem for the Centurion is simply that it's being powercrept.. More tier VIII has better DPM and alpha since the cent first came out..

[@nicktomlin9137]

You need to make the ratings out of 10. It gives you a better range. This tank is way better than a 3. I'd give it a 4, but if you made it out of 10, you could make it a 7 or 8. I'd personally give it an 8. The premium ammo damage is great

[@tompayne4945]

so what you're saying is, Cent 5/1 needs pref matchmaking? gotcha!

[@LittleJimnyUK]

It's a good tank but not great. If you can get a good hull down position you can do really well with it as the turret can bounce alot of shots.

[@edelmann4388]

Truely 5/1 is the best Centurion in Tier8 as it has what the others, Centurion1, Strv81 and PrimoVictoria miss out, some armor on the ammo rack. yes, it s far better than its half brother FV4202. one of my favourites for randoms, frontline and even for skirmishes the 5/1 is no where the best but also no where the worst. ok, on damage per shot it is close to the worst but even this is covered up by a reliable hitting and a good standard penetration so premium ammo i use rarely.

[@Phantazum]

The tanks only negative is its alpha damage. If thats not worth 4 stars then you have a bunch of tanks to reexamine.

[@AI_admin]

If I bought this, for sure I would get three tier X match making games.

[@jrogersdal]

It appeared to me the mobility was a little better than 2 stars. IMO

[@strelockyoussef4033]

Im hoping they ll add it to bond store bcs its expensive for me to spend 30$ for a pixel tank

[@zograf4572]

I love this tank.

[@some_one_in_asia]

Love this tank

[@Breaking_news]

on asian server tier 8's face 35% tier 10's, 50% tier 9's, 10% tier 8's, 4.9% tier 7's and only only ONLY 0.1% against tier 6 no joke in this year 2024 i have nevr faced tier 6 in a tier 8 battle even last year and I play at least 30 games everyday.

[@AI_admin]

I find this to be probably even worse on Asia server, i always seem to be someone's bitch (being bottom tier 80% of the time) lol. This server is broken, why have a tech tree with tiers 1-4!

[@allanoneill1023]

What an FV4202 should have been from the beginning; needs an alpha buff to make it relevant these days.

[@AI_admin]

and you would think since its old, the price would be cheaper, due to this power creep, I mean look at the IS6 .... damn Russian businessmen.

[@Damphyre]

I'd drop the rating down to 3 star. With power creep from other premium mediums over the years this thing feels very average to play nowadays.

[@AvatarofFury]

Rigged! I'm also experiencing these lags these days. It's quite annoying tbh. I like the Centurion 5/1. Gun-Handling is good, armor works and it doesn't come with the worst DPM. It's a good will 4-star-rating for me ;)

[@Wojtekpl2]

Engine sound is great. Rating should be 3.5 .

[@user-wy1ps9bj1i]

The main problem with all of the tier 8 centurions is the god awful gun.

[@TheLeatheredneck]

If the trend remains constant for ratings, it needs to go to 3 stars max because gold penetrates it…

[@jparth167]

I prefere strv 81 because of the shell velocity.

[@yueguan4237]

to the point, I always wonder why I get better in strv81 than 5/1, this may be the reason

[@ralfszemzars1885]

Server 1 is unplayable for me, same lags as you have. Server 2 is much better. The server stops responding for extended periods of time and causing the lag. Best feature ever, btw, to loop last input until connection is restored.

[@dariusszewczyk8395]

Well, maybe 230 is not much, but look at Panther II, tier 8 German medium with 75mm cannon has 135 damage😂, ok, with 88mm cannon it has 280 damage, but it is German famous 88mm cannon.

[@KalloSaurus313]

Think should drop the rating to 3/5, dont see how 5/1 would be 4/5 when recently finished STRV 81 mark and that is a 2/5 tank. 7/1 is better from stats but just cant see it as 4/5.

[@KalloSaurus313]

Also checked and all other T8 centurions are rated 2/5 and FV4202 1/5. Just cant see how 5/1 is 4/5. Should be 3/5.

[@dastardlyzfiend]

Don't downgrade it, it still performs as it did when you gave it the rating originally imho...

[@forexenjoyer-sc1tn]

Like it a lot but find it a lot easier to play higher alpha tanks

[@viper_db5727]

RIIIGGED!! :)

[@SterlingBeanz]

Rigged! Lol nice one Skill, I don't have the RAAC in WOT but I do in WOT Blitz. It's a fun tank to cruise into battle with. Have a good day Skill!

[@petruursache2732]

His games, level vi tanks...my game : im at a bottom of the list the only level 8 tank.....all 9 and 10's tanks

[@jokanaan2486]

There is a simple reason why this tank is not worth 4 stars - tier 10s and autoloaders. Enjoy lowrolling them for

[@davediaz6748]

I always get a kick when Skill is top tier over and over…. And here I am, I get 9/10 games bottom tier 😢

[@GrandOldMan]

I tryed that I had lag some times before sounds - I updated my soundcard driver

[@hubertovidiu]

Map rotation, 2 games out of 3, same map different spawn …

[@AdamtheRed-]

Rigged with Skill! Good games beating up on the baby tanks, Skill!

[@Karpiani]

This tank is really nice, you have armor, mobility, ramming power, but this alfa is just fuuuu

[@mehmetozturk771]

gun handling should go down a star imo, its not that accurate for the alpha dmg

[@Iwqrxtwuvk23547]

It’s kind of slow imo but I think it has better armor than I give it credit for 😬😬😬

[@Iwqrxtwuvk23547]
