@@InfernoVolatil Well if it was built and deployed during WW2, then it is a WW2 tank even if it didn't see combat. By that logic, T95 and Maus is not a WW2 tank then.
Centurions of the Indian Army emerged victorious against the Pattons of Pakistani military on many ocassions in the western front of the war in 1971. Not saying that the Pattons were any less or their operators less proficient.
That is definitely not how a Cent that is correctly maintained, starts. Three full pumps of the accelerator pedal, then feet off and crank, they start immediately and idle smoothly. This tank either needs a plug change or the ignition timing is out of adjustment. Overfuelling it didn't help, the vapourised fuel was emanating from the fishtails.
Given this was designed during WWII it was probably the best MBT available post WWII. And why it sold 4,400 around the world. Its contemporaries were the M26 Pershing which became the later M46 Patton neither were as effective.
One of the most successful tanks in history. Constantly upgraded for half a century across different countries, on the same Centurion hull.
And remember that the Centurion is a WW2 tank.

Sounds like me trying to get out of bed
I drove this tank in service, one of the best, petrol engine, Rolls Royce, nice and warm in the cold months!
After it started, it sounded just like my '67, 1275cc, Austin Mini Cooper S... OK, OK, not quite but that is what came to mind first.
Turns over like a wife 2 weeks before the divorce.
😂😂😂
Glad it finally started, thought for sure he would have melted those battery cables!
I cant wait go for a ride on the British centurion tank mk5/1 at this year Australian armoured artillery museum tank fest this year

It’s been sat outside for a year in the damp and it’s 60 years old give it a break
@@AdamBest1920 I think Slaktrax was complaining about the operator and maintainers, not the tank!!
It doesn't mean much unless you see what's going on in the drivers compartment.....
What pressing a button 🤷♂️
What a babe.
To je opravdu šrot.
Is this just knackered or were they really that temperamental to start?
Bit of both 😂
There used to be a kigas pump to help it start
they do it warm the engine up only need to do it once a week
@lloyd9710 what do you mean I don't understand your comment
@@stewartbrown8115 What? Not on any Cent I drove.
Not a good situation in a conflict zone.

Good job it’s not 60 tons then
