If centurion gets turret nerf, its gonna lose its main armour/defence. And why did’nt they compensate the nerf for a buff?

WG Logic.

You nerf the strongest point of a tank, further putting it at disadvantage v Russian t9 med T54 (which was OWNED by the Centurion in the REAL WORLD!!! Mostly By the Brave Tankers of ISRAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My magnificent country, hated by so many basket case racists in EU and RU server (FUCK YOU TOO!!!!)

Logic would mean nerf armor, Buff ROF & traverse speed, but NOOOOOOOOOO. Must make all Med’s prey to the Most often Killed turned into scrap metal tank in Post WWII, The T54.

Are you sure that you got the numbers right for the Centurion? The magenta part in the very center should be weaker than the violet part, as it has no turret armor behind it. In your numbers you add the turret armor to the magenta part though, but not to the violet part. Methinks it should be the other way around.

This then even looks a bit like a small gun mantlet buff, because the weaker magenta part (weak because there is no turret armor behind it) got smaller.

Why didn’t they include the track covers and storage bins as spaced armour? Lazy WG :(

T-34-85 will go from having no armor whatsoever to having no armor whatsoever.
How terrible.
Let me tie some conscripts to the front, maybe?

Yes, except for the mantlet edges, it should actually only 254mm thick; I remember SS saying something about that some time ago. Ofc, almost no gun at Tier 8, let alone Tier 7, has a gun with gold ammo that’s APCR and can pen it, and it would still eat HEAT shots, so no problems.

Say whatever you want about FV4202. It is “comfy” in a special way but still it sucks balls compared to T62 and its clones. Yet Centurion 7/1 is faaaar from being UP. Actually i think it is a bit OP as in 8.11 patch. Especially since arty got nerfed into oblivion, British tanks prosper.
