Centurion mk. The 5/1 RAAC is a classic medium tank, but it has some perks over its peers. The British not only has an accurate gun with good armor penetration, he also boasts a large viewing radius. This means that in the first place it is necessary to study "radio interception" and "eagle eye". It is also important to study the combat brotherhood with the entire crew. This will improve all tank stats by 5%. Also, do not forget that this is a medium tank, and it is vital for him to have good stabilization of the gun in motion. You can improve this indicator with the help of the “smooth move” and “smooth turn of the tower” skills.
Equipment
Centurion mk. The 5/1 RAAC is well armed, but reloading leaves a lot to be desired. This is the most important parameter that needs to be improved. Otherwise, everything is set as standard for this class of equipment:
- Rammer. It will speed up the reloading of the gun, which will significantly affect the firepower of the British.
- Illuminated optics. The tank has a good viewing radius. Even some light tanks do not have a 400-meter mark. With the help of optics, you can significantly improve the viewing radius, which will allow you to overexpose many vehicles in the game.
- Vertical stabilizer. The Briton shows good results in shooting on the move, but with the stabilizer installed, it will become more than comfortable.
As an alternative, you can replace the stabilizer with improved ventilation. The tank will become slightly worse at shooting on the move, but all crew stats will improve by 5%.
Booking Centurion mk. 5/1 RAAC
Despite being a medium tank, the Centurion mk. 5/1 RAAC has good frontal armor.
The medium tank is sufficiently armored, so it can be used in an aggressive combat mode. Of course, this applies more to single-level technology. But the tower can tank shells and high levels. The only weak point is the commander's hatch, but it is small, so it will be quite difficult to target it. Comfortable tanking with a turret is helped by vertical gun depression angles of -10 degrees. In some cases, you can use the sides, since the reduced armor allows you to deflect projectiles, but only at the right angles. The upper front part can also block damage, but only with the same tier technique. Tanks of high levels will break through this place.
In general, we can say that the British has good hull and turret armor, and the turret is so armored that you can safely hold back the shells of tanks of the 10th level. The hull is less armored, but for playing in the top it is enough to replace a heavy tank on the 1st line.
How to play Centurion mk. 5/1 RAAC
The gameplay will depend only on the level of the opponent. When playing in the top, it will be most comfortable to conduct positional firefights on relief terrain, since the Centurion mk. 5/1 RAAC has a monolithic turret. The vertical declination angles of the gun will allow only the turret to protrude, but it is worth noting the armored hull, namely the upper armor plate. This part will also block projectiles. Among city buildings, you can tank with the sides, but an enemy with high armor penetration can still penetrate them. It is very important to turn the body in the right angles. The turret of the British is closer to the front of the hull, this will worsen side tanking, since the tracks will have to be set. And these places are traditionally weak for this nation.
As for weapons, one-time damage is 230 units. can be called average for the 8th level, but armor penetration with the base 226 mm projectile will allow it to penetrate almost all tanks of the same level and many high-level ones. The gun is quite accurate, with good stabilization, but the rate of fire leaves much to be desired, so the “rammer” equipment must be installed first. In general, we can say that it will be comfortable to fight with such weapons even at the bottom of the list, but you should not conduct aggressive tactics against high-level vehicles. In such situations, it is better to be in the 2nd and 3rd line.
The view of the tank is phenomenal, so he can easily replace LT in battle. To improve performance to the maximum, it is recommended to upgrade all the necessary perks and install the appropriate equipment. As a result, the British will be able to illuminate the enemy for more than 450 meters. Centurion mk. 5/1 RAAC does not have a powerful engine, so it will not be able to actively shine like a light tank. To use your privileges, it is best to use the features of the tower here as well. You can shine, leaving because of the relief, thereby, during reconnaissance, protect yourself.
The dynamics of the British is weak, so he will not be able to quickly drive to the positions. But with such data, it can well withstand heavy tanks, while its characteristics are similar to the heavy tank of this Caernarvon nation. If the player wants to break through the flanks, then this is best done in the 2nd line, preferably using an armored turret and sides. Of course, reloading is not as fast as we would like, but the main advantage is armor penetration with the base projectile. The tank is premium, so he will receive silver mainly for damage. It is worth noting that for a tier 8 medium tank, the Centurion mk. A 5/1 RAAC earns an average of 45000 silver, which is not a bad number.

Is it worth taking
Centurion mk. 5/1 RAAC is a classic British medium tank. This technique is suitable for fans of this nation, as it stands out for its high DPM and accurate weapons. But she also has downsides. These include low one-time damage and low dynamics. Reloading is also not the best, but it is worth noting a good review, which will additionally bring silver.
The tank is definitely worth the money and you can buy it to earn silver. Indeed, in the amount of credits earned, the main role is played by the damage inflicted on enemy vehicles and their destruction, which is quite acceptable for a British weapon. At the same time, it is possible to resist equipment with powerful weapons and conduct effective reconnaissance.
