11:43 btw, Cromwell get -8 gun depression with the top gun and turret, so the -13 is probably one of the stock guns (and even then possible only on the side of the tank like the Crusader)
Yeah, Centurion AX is one of my favorite tier X mediums. Really good gun depression, gun handling is good as well, relatively strong turret armor. Yup, definitely good tank
hey man, im fairly new and i used my free tier 6 to get this line. im so glad you made this video! The learning curve for a new player feels quite steep in wot, but hearing that im on the right sort of track from what youve said is a GREAT comfort. I love the style, love the delivery. Earned a like and sub
I remember cruiser MK 1 used to be a tier 2 with the twin machine gun turret in the front, like the T-28 design. The cruiser MK 2 for tire 3 and the top gun is the tier 5 howitzer gun which is 93mm. Good memories
The AX was my first tier X tank, but it was very long ago and back then the tank was very bad. Came back recently and was surprised by how good it was. Back then, I wished I hadn't sold the 7/1 to be able to afford the AX.
Couldn't get used to the Cavalier but the Cromwell and Comet I highly recommend in the Centurion line, need to spam the gold a bit with the Comet though because not great pen and lack of alpha damage puts you under pressure to pen every shot, tier 9 and 10 look awesome but haven't got that far in the grind
was waiting for that top of the tree. bought the tank. first game, 192 spotting dam and oneshot by FV when crossing 85 sec into the game:) it got better:) but what i have to say about this tank is, that is feels so smooth and comfortable to play with. only 5 games in and only 1st field mod unlocked. using rammer, turbo and vents for now. the only tank i have ever felt like that before was T62A back in the day, when i came out. usually tanks feel more rugged and movements are sharp and edgy, but this tank just kind of like flows.
9:59 damn right it does, this was my teacher for mediums when I had sub 10K games, the T29 was for heavy tanks might have overdone it with 2680 games, but I wanted to be decent before moving up past tier 8
Fun fact: the ax actually existed. Although the turret was never called action x, it was called centurion mantletless turret or cmt. Tank museum has the only surviving cmt turret wich was used in a ballistic test. The turret itself was pretty good but iirc they didnt mass produce it bc it differed a lot from the production turrets requiring crew retraining. It was a big problem since the centurion was operated by a wide range of militaries. It is still in service in some. While the cmt was compatible with every centurion mark and gun it still wasnt seen as big of an improvement over production turrets to replace them. Also a common misconception is that this turret was on fv4202. While they resemble eachother the fv4202 turret is different. The caernarvon ax is entirely made up tho. While the caernarvon used a modified centurion turret the cmt was never meant to be used with the caernarvon hull.
Got mine when they swapped ol' FV for AX, really liked it when I played tier 10s (which I dont nowadays :)). But the whole line is super nice so definately worth it.
Very nice video, thank you! But I don't know what do you mean with "turret armor is nice". I got the Cent AX recently and every single mothertrucker pens it frontally with no problems (turret areas left/right to the gun, area under the gun, cupola..). And obviously I'm not talking about destroyers. The Cent 7/1 feels much more powerful and dangerous especially with the amazing HESH ammo (which as you mentioned the Cent AX doesn't have) and the better matchmaking it has. Well, I need to l2p I guess. Cheers!
I use the howitzer on the Cavalier and honestly it was the funniest and the most efficient guns on this tank, there were many games where I got 1k damage at least on this tank with that gun
1) The tech tree at the start of the video should probably be centred/focused on the tank line. This one appears to be focused on the heavy line while the Cent AX line is somewhere below it. 2) Would you consider talking a bit about stock grind as well? And yes, I know, it would make the video a bit longer. 28:25 IIRC the ammo rack is on the front left (right if you are facing it) side. Also, I tried the AX with Improved Aiming and I highly suggest you don't do that. But I'm also bad, so maybe it's just me. As far as the grind, I didn't really like the Cromwell (but that was long time ago, now I'm kinda ok with with the "B" variant of it). Comet was underwhelming because of the pen on the gun. Cent 1 was horrendous even with the 2nd gun (hence my suggestion above), 171 pen is just pathetic and you will face tier 10. Oddly enough, I don't have any strong memories regarding Cent 7/1... So I guess it was ok...
Hi Max! Consider to play Cent X and Vic 3 changing them game after game. After at least 2 hours of playing 2 tanks see stats for both tanks and make summary of results. 👋
Comes should get -1 point for being awkward when stock. I think QB also mentioned this. You have that speedy Cromwell, and when you get Comet, your tank feels slow and heavy
planing to go for this line and gonna use rammer,optics,stab but also thinking about focus mobility and firepower as i am not good spotter so i can focus to build mobile tank with high firepower and leave spotting to others
The mathilda was great before everyone started to load gold. Now you will meet mr T6 medium and its derp gun. It has well over 100mm pen with its 350 alpha heat rounds and is more than fast enough to avoid the slow brit as it reloads.
I've enjoyed this whole branch, agree with you 100% Max on Centuriion being meh, especially in tems of mobility. Which tier 8 premium would you suggest over the Centurion?
Centurion AX with the buff is now a very good véhicule, but i like to have the turret of caernavon AX with the plate on the side of the turret with that it will be a very good looking tank.
Baretta, the guy in the JadgPanzer E100, was distracted by his cockatoo. 😅 (Reference to an old TV series). Actually, birds in WoT and, even more often, WoWS, do distract me sometimes, while waiting for the 203 mm guns to load. There is also a pig herd in one of the maps in WoT which I noticed while watching some YT video. This really exasperated me, as it is a proof that WG has money enough to model pigs moving without any purpose. What our bosses would say if we appeared a Monday with something like those "pigs" in our own jobs, something absolutely meaningless, utterly unwanted or even totally unnoticed by the customers?
I was actually tossing between this tank and the CS-63. I made the decision to buy the CS-63 2 days ago but still not sure if I’ve made the right decision, given they’re more or less kinda similar… the only way to find out would be to have them both and then come to the conclusion. But so far, the CS-63 is a weapon!.. even though on paper the rounds on CS-63 is inferior (ACPR only as apposed to CENTX’s HEAT) but it seems to have the about the same penn and its ACPR even acts like HEAT. The only downside I can see is the lower gun depression, but I am having so much fun with the Speed ability of the vehicle, you get LT speed and I find it addictive rushing into position fast at the beginning of the game… and you don’t get ammo racked as much
get both, they are not similar, cs is fast with worse gun, Cent is slower, bigger, but gun is waaay better, also it can play ridges a lot better, because turret armor and gun depresion..
@@durachoksyou have both? I was never a big medium player.. I had always played HT until recently. The MT tier Xs I have are Cs-63, Leopard 1, TVP and Progetta 65. So far after about a weeks worth of play in the CS-63, I find the drawback is the 8deg gun depression,is a bit hard to use Finding that perfect and safe angle… Yeah I seem to be bouncing more turret shots with the leo1 than the Cs-63. The other thing is, the cs is fast, but it’s always a gamble when you rush there first… especially when you have no support and all the enemy team decides to go wheee you are… you’re kinda screwed Hmm so centurion more versatile?
@@durachoks I also forgot to mention that I have the Obj430u… it’s got a good turret but it’s really slow.. obj277 and is7 is faster… and the 6 deg gun depression is ridiculous… it’s just about impossible to make work. Not an enjoyable tank at all. Either I’ll get CentX, Obj705A, ShitBarn or JpzrE100 next
@@eeiko321 yeah, Id say Cent is the most versatile, it can do kinda everything, except fight for early positions with other meds like CS can do with ease, but like you said its big risk anyway.
@@eeiko321 from these I find Jgpze and Cent the most fun, Shitbarn is cool to play once in a while, but for me it gets boring very fast, because all you can do is sit in the back and wait. And 705, I cant handle that gun, people call 60tp gun bad or trollish, 705a gun is twice worse.
For some reason, my experience in it has been horrendous. The gun is quite derpy at long range, no camo, and the turret gets easily penned by gold rounds. The DPM carries this tank big-time. Tbh, if it wasn't for the dpm I'd sell it
Cromwell can meet is3 it cant pen that either. As you get in to the comet you will find that the sub 208 pen really strugles agains the tier 8 armor. This is the case for all tier 7 mediums how ever. It feels significantly better with full gold spam. For the centurion its bigest problem is that it is massive and its made of paper. So nothing misses it and everything goes through like hot knife through the butter. I would not recomend to start from centurion line as a beginner. Maybe as a second line. Would rather recomend peoole to start with is4 or double penetrator line with soviets.
I came here to warn everyone that the Centurion 1 is a horrible experience at Tier 8. Low Alpha, Low DPM, Slow, No Armour, No Camo, Tall. At least the gun is accurate with good depression. If you can - skip.
I got a good game with that tank against 8,7 and tier 6s pulldown with 5.6sec reload lol Shredded about 6 tanks and won us the game, its a tier 7 tank within a tier 8 line up.
Note on the cromwell, you can pen the BZ-176, load gold and slap dat ass 😂 (Edit) I forgot to mention, the Cromwell B was the first tank I got my first MOE on. Now I'm not a good player IMO yet I managed to mark it
It's like a Leopard Pt A gun mounted on a T-28E chassis. Zero camo, zero armor, okay mobility for its class, and a gun with good dpm (that you can never use because you have to hide between each shot if you don't want to die instantly). Not worth it imo.
i will grind. wot just released the vickers. so, after i spend all the time and money to grind, wot will nerf the cent ax. then i will quit wot. simple.
well thats what makes this tank good, it can do everything good and isnt bad in any area, while yeah other tanks can snipe better or brawl better, or play hull down better, they are paying for it with other features

I still remember that the 20pdr type A was a shared module with the Carnarvon back in the days where the FV4202 used to be tier 10

5 15 as the game start button - so bloody true lol
Honorable mention for the Centurion 5/1 RAAC :D

Great video! Thx Max
I've had or have all of these tanks, and I agree with the evaluation of them in this video
Centurion is a great medium tank, its very versatile. Probably my favorite T10 medium
The Centurion 1 is a really good tank to learn on if you got the Primo Vittoria or STRV 81 in loot-boxes and want to try to mark them later
planing to go for this line and gonna use rammer,optics,stab but also thinking about focus mobility and firepower as i am not good spotter so i can focus to build mobile tank with high firepower and leave spotting to others
After I read how IDF-modified Centurions kicked the shit out of T-54 and T-62 tanks in the Yom Kippur War, I knew I had to get the Centurion(s)
Sad seeing the grind go away on yt❤
Exactly the video I needed :)

My 52nd tier 10,love it.
It is an insane amount of grind on the 7/1 to get a gun that do more than 230 dmg.
2015 was when the Patton was one of the best medium tanks in the game. Look at it now, it's completely powercrept out of the meta.
I just finished comet and didnt have plan to move on anytime soon but since you said its goin top of the tree im gona grind it lol

Centurion Action X is definitely a 10/10. It has Action and 10 in its name, it's a dead giveaway.
The Cromwell can die in a fire lol. The gun literally infuriates me. The Comet was beautiful though!
It's like a Leopard Pt A gun mounted on a T-28E chassis. Zero camo, zero armor, okay mobility for its class, and a gun with good dpm (that you can never use because you have to hide between each shot if you don't want to die instantly). Not worth it imo.
Could you do a tank review on STG Guard Max?
my first tier 10
A very good morning indeed 😂 welp time to scroll the comment section ☕
On cent AX i use vents, rammer and fire control sys lvl 3, its mental how good is it
fivehead tank, if you're not using the full gun depression enemy can easy pen
i will grind. wot just released the vickers. so, after i spend all the time and money to grind, wot will nerf the cent ax. then i will quit wot. simple.
Dumb question: why dont you equip bond equipment instead of bounty?
Do 60tp worth the grind next👍👍
Wow, even if all parameters are max or ultra, isn't the resolution wayyy too good?
yes
A British man saying nice things about British Vehicles. Mmm Yes
i did it
Yeah.. It's time to grind it. And spend free EXP for it. Or use blueprints.
Imo they should’ve given the vickers 210 hesh pen. 😂😂😂
Noice
What about exp turbo, rammer, vents
if you like this setup go for it, who cares
ofc it's a better vickers
next vz 55 pls
👍👍👍🙏
Cent. Ax is an average tank with annoying gun, grind it after STB-1, Leopard, Obj 430u...
No, no it isnt worth it. Nothing special or good about the AX. Other mediums do almost everything better.
well thats what makes this tank good, it can do everything good and isnt bad in any area, while yeah other tanks can snipe better or brawl better, or play hull down better, they are paying for it with other features
The grind in this game is so bad it hurts, you have to love to punish yourself or open your wallet wide.
Good gun but the tank is too large easy to hit the leapard1 is a better tank
Im sorry but the comet sucks
Yes its worth the grind, its a great fun tank ! but tier 7 and tier 8 will be super big pain.
