The Centurion series of tanks were the first main battle tanks used by the British, it was the final cruiser tank and had enough armour protection to remove the need for an infantry tank design so there was no longer a need for these two different types of tank when a multi-role tank was this capable.
Six vehicles of the A41 prototype had arrived in Europe one month after the German capitulation. There were two types of guns mounted to the left of the main gun, the heavier 20mm Polsten Autocannon in an independent mount which the Mk.I production variant had or the standard Besa MG mounted coaxially which the Mk.II, Mk. III and Mk. IV would have. In FHSW both are coaxial with the main gun.
After the war the amount of variants increased considerably. One that is available ingame is the "Close Support" assault gun Centurion Mk. IV fitted with an howitzer.
The smoke launcher can rotate freely and fire a single smoke round at a time.
