Tank description:

The Centurion Mk. I is a British tier 8 medium tank.Development of the Centurion started in 1943. The vehicle was designed as a "universal tank" to replace existing infantry and cruiser tanks. The Centurion was the first British vehicle that featured sloped armor plates. The tank entered service in 1947. A total of 100 vehicles of this series were manufactured from 1945 through 1946.A notable step up from the Comet, featuring a great gun selection and still very agile, just like its predecessors, the Centurion Mk. I is a good tank for its tier. Although notably bulky and with spectacularly poor hull armor, it is quick on its feet and its 20-pounder gun features equally spectacular penetration. It appears to have something of a weakness in that its ammunition rack and driver are both vulnerable to frontal hits.The Centurion Mk. I leads to the Centurion Mk. 7/1.
