Centurion AX is Back and Better than Ever with Recent Buffs! - World of Tanks 

I think wg takes into account (or used to years ago) the quality of the tank's sight and rangefinder to tweak tanks with the exact same gun. Although nowadays only thing tgat matters for wg is how they are goong to milk your wallet

You do know that the Leopard uses a L7A3 while the Cent AX uses the L7A2?

@@grafzauberer6867 But was it always like that? Wargaming has arbitrarily changed module names in the past while buffing vehicles. For example, when the Tiger II received its buffs Wargaming changed the name of its turret so that the VK 45.02 A did not also receive the same buffs. They also changed the name of the IS-4's stock gun when they decided to buff it a few years back. Prior to those changes it shared a name and stats with the IS-1's D-25T back at Tier VII. My point is that Wargaming doesn't really care about historical modules (including guns) or their designations. They will quite happily change either on a whim if that change suites their purpose. So whether two guns share names or not has no bearing at all on their stats.

@@DovahFett The L7A3 Variant was designed for the West-German Army specifically, so I guess it allways was that way (real-life, not Ingame)

Trash company, doing trash things. No surprises.

Unfortunate but same i get hyped to tier x when I'm playing with cent 7/1 (one of the best med, i think) but it was actually so bad compared to t9 and now it feels still same even i liked the gun Bec armor is paper even hull down(while T9 can play hull down easily)

FV4202 had even less turret armor than the Cent, though

@@picklejho5833 which when combined with the lower height, fewer high pen guns and lower gold spamming, made it much less of an issue.

WG changed the sound of the cent 1 and fv4202 gun. I 2 marked the cent 1 but stopped playing it and the fv when they nerfed the sound. It just sounds like wet pants now

I agree 100%. I much preferred the FV4202 as a T10. It was shorter, and it felt faster, more responsive, more nimble. The Cent AX just feels so tall, the cupola is even larger than the FVs was, the gun sucked. Just everything felt wrong compared to the FV4202 T10. The turret had better angles or something because it would bounce about 25-33% of the incoming shots, when working a ridge line. The Cent can NOT work a ridge line worth a damn compared to the old FV4202. I played any a handful of games when the gave us thatPOS, and just only played the T9, and worked on my Leo’s lols. I would ask why WG never gives any love to western tanks (comparable to the amount of love they give Russian/Soviet tanks), but we already know the answer to that question. In their SOVIET UNION indoctrinated minds, no western tank could ever compare to Soviet or Russian tanks…😉😉🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄😳😳😳🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@@claytonwhitman1608 tinfoil hat detected

Yeah the russian deflector shields have also been put on their 'light' tanks, can't count how many times ive bounce enemy LT-432

This is the biggest issue for this tank, need some hull down armor not much like heavy but now it feels like playing Leo at hull down position

the mod creator said on the mod page that the 1.19 version is working on 1.20

@@Bloody7890 I guess. We’ll see when he updates it

​@Bloody the mod maker is lying then and has no clue how mods work. When the game updates to a new version, old mods stop working bc of how they are coded vs. how the game files are coded.

@@nephalos666 they are not, i often move "old" mods to the new folder and they work.

@@nephalos666 lol? just...drag the old 1.19 file into the new 1.20 /mods folder. Works for me and everyone else who did this, why be salty and say shit like that instead of just trying it out? Also you have 0 clue what you're talking about.

The patton needs an armour buff, it's so slow yet doesn't seem to hold up in a brawl. The gun handling is great though

The Patton still outclasses this POS. You can actually reliably hit what you aim at, and despite the armor being worse on paper, you dont have an ammo rack for a driver.

Patton still better than cent ax

@@zerovia6436 exactly. Better premium round too iirc.

Meds only have survivability or spotting as boost options.

@@klauskasuppke6752 haven't thought of that, thanks!

Centurion 7/1 the T9 is extremely enjoyable to play with a solid turret and insane 210mm pen HESH round for 480dmg

For the love of God, no. Dont go any further. Dont listen to Eric. The tier 8 thru 10 have no redeeming qualities to them. Stick with the Comet.

tier 9 is the best in entire line, even after this "buff" for CAX

did you get german or soviet mediums? if not go for them first.

You need to try centurion 7/1 one of the best medium to play nowadays.

Nah. The gun is still shit and the gun is attached to an ammo rack on tracks. It's still an Action Shit.

He was in the military and makes money doing what he loves. You sound jealous and ten years old.

Main problem is Leo 1 , this tank compared to Leo has nothing to offer better that's why they need to give some hull down ability to cent . Both has same characteristics but Leo way more better.

I was screaming this at them for 5 years (since I started playing ;) ) but honestly - I think it will take some time for me to adjust.

I thought it was a bug

i never even noticed this was a thing until now

​@@07jaworski07 you couldn't notice it because it was just added xD

But its super buggy for some reason so i hope i can turn it off

Cope, lil b

That's actually what they are doing for "balance" . WG " do not touch overpowered tanks, take some tech tree tanks with lotto and make them powerful since next patch :)

Actually that's the biggest highlight this balancing. with bond equipments 57 heavy playable now it's good to mark before it's too late.

E50M can't stand 300 heat either but is still a great brawler. Not every tank need a bulletproof turret

​@@oscarovegren The E 50 M is a great brawler because it can ram almost anything and has a _very_ strong upper plate. The Centurion has *neither* of those things. It doesn't weight that much relative to its size and every time it gets shot through the front there's a strong chance it will have its ammunition rack damaged. It also has worse acceleration than the E 50 M. Being able to hull down is sort of the *_entire_* design philosophy behind the Centurion line of vehicles. If it can't do that, it's next to worthless. If it received a stronger turret, it'd still be a much worse brawler than the E 50 M for all of the reasons I've stated in this and my last post. Giving it 15-20 mm of extra armor, which would still make it vulnerable to some Tier X and IX _standard_ rounds is hardly the worst thing that could happen to it. As it stands, the Centurion 7/1 has a better turret than the Action X, because it has a gun mantlet, which can resist some HEAT rounds. In fact, the E 50 M (even before its buff) had an arguably better turret than the Action X, because it _also_ has a gun mantlet, and much of its turret front is covered by it. The Action X's turret front on the other hand, has nothing, and is almost completely flat, which means that HEAT rounds have a very easy time getting through it.

@@DovahFett It has better DPM, better dispersion values, much better terrain resistances, better view range, better camo and better gun depression. You can't add a better turret on top of that too in comparison to E50M. In the current state they are more or less balanced. Add a stronger turret means nerfing something else instead.

E50m will be buffed too

@@oscarovegren Yes, you most certainly can add a better turret and not have to change anything else on it or any other vehicles. Being a giant blob with no armor is a *_significant_* disadvantage. The ability to resist enemy fire is one of the best characteristics a tank can have. It's why vehicles like the Chieftain and Object 140 are so strong. They can find a position, hide their hulls, and shimmy back and forth to make their tiny cupolas difficult to hit. That capability means that they can quite comfortably sit in front of people and fire their guns every time they are loaded, which gives them a massive DPM advantage over tanks that have to hide from enemy fire. Now, I'm not saying that the Action X would be like that if it had a stronger turret. It would still have a flat turret face (which would make it weaker against HEAT and APCR), it would still have a giant unarmored hull (which would limit the positions it could use while also hiding its chassis), and it would still be an artillery magnet (because of how tall and wide it is). The Action X could have a *400 mm* thick turret and it would _still_ not be as broken as some other hull-down medium/heavy tanks simply because of how huge and thinly armored its body is. I am not asking for 400 mm however. I am asking for _20 mm_ of extra armor, so that at least *STANDARD* rounds from Tier IXs and Xs don't go straight through the turret face, because they do. If you run into an Object 140, 430, or _any_ of the Soviet heavies in a hull down position, you *_just_* lose, because all _they_ have to do is press the 2 key and fire HEAT through the front of your turret. All _you_ can do is try to snipe their centimeter-tall cupolas. You can't outflank them, because you're huge with no camo and armor, and you can't try to hit their hulls because of how low to the ground they are. You *just* lose.

It isn't sadly

This doesn't need nerfa

They just said , u want to see this AMX line like this , 4 months later : nAH

Progetto died for me RIP but they killed it Bec of lion

I think auto reloader tanks(kran prog etc.) Got late nerf but this is way too much.

It is worth if u dont have any clip premium tank

Tier 9 got this same buff except DPM. That gun is already in the Charioteer, it would be insanely good if it received DPM buff but still the gun handling was the parameter where it struggled. I'm seriously considering rebuking that tier 9.

​@@juanjodpr7/1 was very good even before buffs and i think Dpm buff will broke balance which means it can be overpowered. It's very good tank to play in tier 9 especially I'm fall in love with ammo variety to choose Bec nowadays other tanks just feel like press 2 and forgot ammo.

The turret armor isn't the best. It has about 250-260 mm at most, so occasionally you will bounce some tier 8-9 tanks but forget about using the gun depression in tier 10. It's a more nimble version of the M48 Patton but not by much. However, with this buff, there's no reason to play the Patton now. It's at a level of being a more armored Leopard that can run at 52-55 km/h. Keep in mind that HEAT will shred this turret like butter.

Weak armor is completely problem for cent ax , overall British mediums has characteristics like : good Dpm , good mobility , very good ammo types to shoot and gun depression for hull down position with armor also some camo for sniping. But unfortunate cent ax do not have any armor and camo (Bec of profile of tank) that means you will usually open target for enemies even while you are using full gun depression. That's why still it doesn't feel like British medium , it feels like leopardish tank with worse stats.

Watch out, if it gets too popular it might be hit with the nerf bat.
