Sorry man but your way off again.
Reason why Jagdtiger cost more(only 15 points) is because it has better gun, better armor and better speed.

As for the centurion... Panthers vs Centurions are actually pretty even in a 1vs1 duel. Centurions gun is only slightly better however panther has better frontal armor.
Tiger would lose but it cost 14 points less.
I mean seriously 100 points for a centurion? Who would ever use it? Centurion isnt even in the same league as the big King tigers, IS-3s, t-29s.
But more close to a panther with weak hull armor but badass turret armor.


You seriously need to actually play the brits and you will notice that the centurions and the turtles arent that great.
They really don't have any powerfull lategame guns that can match the heavy german King tigers, elefants and jagdtigers.

I played in a match against the british as the germans in the boccage map,& saw 1 Centurion take out King tiger,front armour,panther,elephant & jagdtiger,the same centurion mind you,& all on there front armour,so there preaty nifty for a tank you dont seem to rate.

It actually took a sneaking flamer guy to finally finish off that Centurion.

You must have been on drugs or something. Because its pretty much impossible to penetrate the King tiger with a centurions 17pdr gun.
And Jagdtiger!? No gun in the game can shoot throught its 250 mm armor.

Only way i can think of centurion could win is that it shoot the tank in the Belly as it was going up a hill.
Or you played some weird ass mod.

Well there is a kinda exploit in the game if your firing at the front of a tank but you command your unit to fire at the engine at the back,alot of the time you get a result.

Morgoth are u sure ur being completely honest? Anyway it could have been luck, like the schell went through the viewing slit or hit the bottom armour or something, which can happen occasionally. For example I once killed a T-34/85 with the 20mm cannon on a PzKwII, front armour, because the cannon shell went through the viewing slit. Remember this game has very complex tank models and ballisics physics.

Yes it has... but as a vehicle modeler, I can assure you that none of the models has no openings in their hit volumes for viewing slits etc. Sometimes a shell manages to knock out a tank by sheer luck. I have once knocked out a Panther with a Sherman M4A1 firing at max range, and the shell went straight thru the Panthers frontal armor. Freak accident. Nothing else.

as far as i know Centurions saw very very limited service in WW2, actually i cant recall a combat action..

KT can&must have a higher price tag because of its limited production numbers.

i can say that even i did not started to play the game

Guys,guys,guys,if you right click on the centurion tank,in the buy mode of multiplayer you will get the specifics of the tank,& i quote abit of it here for you."The Centurion arrive tolate for WW2,but,had it happend,the German Panthers & Tigers would have had little or no chance of victory in a duel.The new vehicles had an excellent shell-proof capacity,& their stabilised long-barrelled 76mm guns could quickly destroy almost any enemy."

And as i said thats a quote from the game,not me.

Also as an interesting added point,the Mk3 Centurion,is to date the only tank that,after being placed 500 metres away from an atomic bomb test was still able to be driven away afterwards,hence its nickname the atomic tank,other tanks from other countrys have been tried without success.

Also production of the Mk2 as featured in this game didnt start till November 1945,6 months after WW2 ended,& never actually entered combat service till December 1946.But the Centurion holds the record as the longest serving tank with the MK 3 being used as AVRE's in the 1991 war with Iraq with the British.
