The British Centurion Mk1 is often credited as the first true main battle tank, though I'm not sure I agree. In War Thunder it is a very temperamental medium tank. Its armor rarely works, its damage is poor, it's slow, and its fast reload rate only lasts for six rounds. Gaijin really should buff the damage on APDS and solid shot shells.

To everyone saying to use the regular AP round first, that's what I did the day prior. The difference in damage was negligible.

@bubby9175 Год назад

Poor spook

@fooltaurus5161 Год назад

I always go for the Sabot shell first with most British tanks, but also always keep some softer, non-sabot shells in reserve, it will be better for flanking maneuvers and side shots, as the spalling is (sometimes) usually better.

@nesyboi9421 Год назад

Sorry spook but they're right, skill issue Edit: Then again I use APDS a lot

@kevinl4837 Год назад

In my experience, the solid shot AP does spall more, but it's such a small difference that it's better to just have the higher pen the APDS has. Usually I do APDS to pen and disable, and follow up with the solid shot if applicable to finish

7:13 The Super Pershing iirc is most notable for fighting a Panther at Dessau which for about 60 years everyone thought had been a King Tiger because of the sloped front, nobody really knowing what a KT looked like on the western front, and the state the wreck was in after until the wall went down and the records could be cobbled together and they realized there weren't any KTs in the area at the time. And also the shell was known to have gone through the UFP, through the engine block and out the back of the tank and a KT's UFP would have been too strong. Go figure.

@Tuck-Shop Год назад

Engine blocks are not made of armoured steel. Not hardened and different trace elements so it is not going to be of much use in stopping a shell. It most likely will just crack and split allowing the shell to pass through. The armoured plates being 80mm and 40mm are of importance especially with the angles. The front of the KT.. 150mm armoured steel at an angle. Homogenous too. Far more resistant than a Panther hull. Still impressive to pass through a Panther front to back.

I usually play the British with a line-up of their Sho't Kal Dalet (with ERA, a laser rangefinder and an upgraded engine) and a Chieftain Mk 3, since it has decent armor and the APDS on it actually does some damage. Then add Striker and Warrior for thermals and a suitable SPAA. Olifant Mk.2 is probably the ultimate Centurion in terms of uprades, although both Sweden and Israel have pretty decent upgraded versions of the Centurion too, but the Mk1 is kind of painful, since it doesn't even get a stabilizer.

Well really the Super Pershing itself was just a 1 off testing vehicle that was cobbled together in France. Basically they had a few early Pershing's to hand while it was still undergoing trials and though it would be interesting to try attaching as many extra armour plates as they could. It was only used on two combat instances as far as I'm aware, one where it took on what was likely to have been a Panther close to its testing area and another instance it took out what some claimed to have been a Tiger but is more likely to haven a Panzer 4.

You were using it "wrong", man. APDS loves to go through the front. Panthers are OHK usually, with a center of mass shot from the front. If you plan to flank, just switch to the solid round, or make sure you get their ammo racks on the first tap. It takes a while to get used to, but there is a certain satisfaction in bounding a panther shot with your UFP while penetrating theirs back effortlessly. That's the main selling point of this fella over, say, the Challenger (which has the same gun and better reload and speed but far worse armor and reverse gears). Still, though, your "wrong" is 10x better than my better, but it is what it is.

I hope he does play the other Cents. As you say, they get better once the firepower starts improving. It's been a while since I touched the game though, so Gaijoob might have bodged the numbers since. On the Potato Famine comment, Spookston is yet another American who pulls the "muh heritage" card, but overlooks the Corn Laws and the really brutal suppression of any dissent in England that was going on at the same time. Yeah, the aristocrats weren't stacking up English bodies up like cordwood, but that was only because there would be nobody to work in their factories if they did. Given the opportunity, the British ruling class can be just as cruel towards "their people" in England as they are to anyone else, and that continues to this day. It's good to see another resident of this dumpster-fire country on here, by the way. I hope the prices aren't hitting you too hard; it's been costing me an arm and leg just to get basic stuff as is.

Try the FV4202 or the Conqueror next! Britian has an insane 7.7 lineup and those two tanks go so hard

@deliqene3191 Год назад

Honestly the draw of the centruion is being able to pen things other tanks normally wouldn't, while having the armor to continue fighting. Its more of a passive aggressive tank then a vehicle u need to rush in with in a small or urban map

@o-hogameplay185 Год назад

Attempt no. 6 can you play the Ho-I? It is a Chi-Nu at 2.0 with a gun similar to the german short 75, except it has almost 500g of TNT. If it is not enough it has HEAT and a very good HE (can overpressuer Pz IIIs and IVs if you hit the turret roof). It is very mobile, has great armor, and 15 degrees of undepression.

Ah Giajin and their damage/armor modeling decisions. My favorite is how simple rubber has a better armor multiplier then NERA.

I would like to see you play the Leopard 1A1 and Leopard 1A5 in one Video. They are 0.3 BR away from each other with the first being 8.7 and the latter being 9.0. I'd like to heat your opinion about that because i think the BR can't be right like it is. The 1A5 has better APFSDS, Thermals and a laser range finder. I don't think that justifies 0.3 BR in difference but as I said, I'd like to hear your opinion on that. Have fun and I wish you all the best :).

@datpieceofbread9570 Год назад

To be fair, the B-25 has a greater chance of succeeding in tank RB than Air. And the biggest issue I find with the Cent 1 is less the gun, but it's the mobility vs armor. Like I have no problem with slow tanks if the armor is usable in someway. But the Cent 1's armor is not very reliable. The reverse speed is nice, though

So what a lot of people don't understand about the old APDS is that close up the spalling was horrid, the round was going so fast that it just went right thought the armor like butter so it didn't create much spalling, that is why at longer ranges it does much better
