Did you guys notice they made a small change to the minimap? When tanks are getting closer to the right border of the map, the name will switch from being on the right side of the tank's icon to the left, so it's still readable.
That's actually pretty cool I think, nice QOL change. Only took them what, 13 years? but still nice.
I was screaming this at them for 5 years (since I started playing ;) ) but honestly - I think it will take some time for me to adjust.
I thought it was a bug
i never even noticed this was a thing until now
@@07jaworski07 you couldn't notice it because it was just added xD
But its super buggy for some reason so i hope i can turn it off
Amazing that the Royal Ordnance L7 gun on the Centurion is now almost as good as the Royal Ordnance L7 gun on the Leopard! Nice one WG!
I think wg takes into account (or used to years ago) the quality of the tank's sight and rangefinder to tweak tanks with the exact same gun. Although nowadays only thing tgat matters for wg is how they are goong to milk your wallet
You do know that the Leopard uses a L7A3 while the Cent AX uses the L7A2?
@@grafzauberer6867 But was it always like that? Wargaming has arbitrarily changed module names in the past while buffing vehicles. For example, when the Tiger II received its buffs Wargaming changed the name of its turret so that the VK 45.02 A did not also receive the same buffs. They also changed the name of the IS-4's stock gun when they decided to buff it a few years back. Prior to those changes it shared a name and stats with the IS-1's D-25T back at Tier VII. My point is that Wargaming doesn't really care about historical modules (including guns) or their designations. They will quite happily change either on a whim if that change suites their purpose. So whether two guns share names or not has no bearing at all on their stats.
@@DovahFett The L7A3 Variant was designed for the West-German Army specifically, so I guess it allways was that way (real-life, not Ingame)
Trash company, doing trash things. No surprises.
Stopped on tier 9.. was hoping for something like this. Ty for the review.
Turret deserved a bit of love on current meta.
I was so excited to level the X years ago. Then was so disappointed since it was so outclassed by everything else. Glad it’s a bit better
Unfortunate but same i get hyped to tier x when I'm playing with cent 7/1 (one of the best med, i think) but it was actually so bad compared to t9 and now it feels still same even i liked the gun Bec armor is paper even hull down(while T9 can play hull down easily)
SKILL my man, great video as always. I really appreciate the index page. It has helped me so much to make those tricky decisions. Thank you.
Shoots are hitting side of a circle already, but gun is overall better than before, if i can say so. Main diference is in stabilization and reaload time.
I think that if Wargaming were really serious about buffing the Action X, they would have given it thicker turret armor, since its main weakness is the fact that it can't actually assume hull down positions against same tiered or even lower-tiered opponents because of 300 pen HEAT rounds that go straight through the turret-front. To those who fear that it would become too powerful if that happened: The Action X would still have a huge profile, poor hull armor, and an ammo rack for the driver to rest their feet on. It would still be far weaker than something like the Chieftain.
E50M can't stand 300 heat either but is still a great brawler. Not every tank need a bulletproof turret
@@oscarovegren The E 50 M is a great brawler because it can ram almost anything and has a _very_ strong upper plate. The Centurion has *neither* of those things. It doesn't weight that much relative to its size and every time it gets shot through the front there's a strong chance it will have its ammunition rack damaged. It also has worse acceleration than the E 50 M.
Being able to hull down is sort of the *_entire_* design philosophy behind the Centurion line of vehicles. If it can't do that, it's next to worthless. If it received a stronger turret, it'd still be a much worse brawler than the E 50 M for all of the reasons I've stated in this and my last post. Giving it 15-20 mm of extra armor, which would still make it vulnerable to some Tier X and IX _standard_ rounds is hardly the worst thing that could happen to it. As it stands, the Centurion 7/1 has a better turret than the Action X, because it has a gun mantlet, which can resist some HEAT rounds. In fact, the E 50 M (even before its buff) had an arguably better turret than the Action X, because it _also_ has a gun mantlet, and much of its turret front is covered by it. The Action X's turret front on the other hand, has nothing, and is almost completely flat, which means that HEAT rounds have a very easy time getting through it.
@@DovahFett It has better DPM, better dispersion values, much better terrain resistances, better view range, better camo and better gun depression. You can't add a better turret on top of that too in comparison to E50M.
In the current state they are more or less balanced. Add a stronger turret means nerfing something else instead.
E50m will be buffed too
@@oscarovegren Yes, you most certainly can add a better turret and not have to change anything else on it or any other vehicles. Being a giant blob with no armor is a *_significant_* disadvantage. The ability to resist enemy fire is one of the best characteristics a tank can have. It's why vehicles like the Chieftain and Object 140 are so strong. They can find a position, hide their hulls, and shimmy back and forth to make their tiny cupolas difficult to hit. That capability means that they can quite comfortably sit in front of people and fire their guns every time they are loaded, which gives them a massive DPM advantage over tanks that have to hide from enemy fire. Now, I'm not saying that the Action X would be like that if it had a stronger turret. It would still have a flat turret face (which would make it weaker against HEAT and APCR), it would still have a giant unarmored hull (which would limit the positions it could use while also hiding its chassis), and it would still be an artillery magnet (because of how tall and wide it is). The Action X could have a *400 mm* thick turret and it would _still_ not be as broken as some other hull-down medium/heavy tanks simply because of how huge and thinly armored its body is. I am not asking for 400 mm however. I am asking for _20 mm_ of extra armor, so that at least *STANDARD* rounds from Tier IXs and Xs don't go straight through the turret face, because they do.
If you run into an Object 140, 430, or _any_ of the Soviet heavies in a hull down position, you *_just_* lose, because all _they_ have to do is press the 2 key and fire HEAT through the front of your turret. All _you_ can do is try to snipe their centimeter-tall cupolas. You can't outflank them, because you're huge with no camo and armor, and you can't try to hit their hulls because of how low to the ground they are. You *just* lose.
I'm old enough to remember when this used to be the FV4202. I just feel like that was a much more competitive tank than then the Cent. They need to buff the turret armour of the Cent in my opinion. Not to make it another 430U, but it needs to be able to reliably bounce at least some rounds. I think the FV also used to be quite a bit shorter than the Cent, so a harder tank to hit.
FV4202 had even less turret armor than the Cent, though
@@picklejho5833 which when combined with the lower height, fewer high pen guns and lower gold spamming, made it much less of an issue.
WG changed the sound of the cent 1 and fv4202 gun. I 2 marked the cent 1 but stopped playing it and the fv when they nerfed the sound. It just sounds like wet pants now
I agree 100%. I much preferred the FV4202 as a T10. It was shorter, and it felt faster, more responsive, more nimble. The Cent AX just feels so tall, the cupola is even larger than the FVs was, the gun sucked. Just everything felt wrong compared to the FV4202 T10. The turret had better angles or something because it would bounce about 25-33% of the incoming shots, when working a ridge line. The Cent can NOT work a ridge line worth a damn compared to the old FV4202. I played any a handful of games when the gave us thatPOS, and just only played the T9, and worked on my Leo’s lols.
I would ask why WG never gives any love to western tanks (comparable to the amount of love they give Russian/Soviet tanks), but we already know the answer to that question. In their SOVIET UNION indoctrinated minds, no western tank could ever compare to Soviet or Russian tanks…😉😉🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄😳😳😳🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@claytonwhitman1608 tinfoil hat detected
Played the t57 heavy a few games last night. Oh boy, the gun is very good now.
Actually that's the biggest highlight this balancing. with bond equipments 57 heavy playable now it's good to mark before it's too late.
I really appreciate your approach to showing games that aren't 'epic', but the reality of the game. You have an excellent method of sharing ways to improve game play. Tanks. 😉
Key thing to note. The two battles where you had to "work your butt off"... you know... the ones that you enjoyed. Yeah... those... NO JEFFS! Kickin it old school with ZERO FREAKIN ARTA!
great game & video info!! Nice head lights :)
the AX was actually my second tier X tank and I loved him even without the buuffs. Its great!
Next patch from wg...we can se that the centurion action x has become popular so we will do some tuning to the tanks stats....
That's actually what they are doing for "balance" . WG " do not touch overpowered tanks, take some tech tree tanks with lotto and make them powerful since next patch :)
CAX, butter front against any ammo spam. Really quite amazing how even with full gun depression the turret offers meagre protection compared to the magical deflector shields even Russian lower tier mediums have.
Yeah the russian deflector shields have also been put on their 'light' tanks, can't count how many times ive bounce enemy LT-432
This is the biggest issue for this tank, need some hull down armor not much like heavy but now it feels like playing Leo at hull down position
The gun does feel really nice, I'm happy with the changes.
Those lights in this camo for the Centurion AX will be very useful whenever WG starts blessing us with night battles.
Useful for the enemies looking for targets.
That Fv in second game is out of this world bad. If he was in my team i would report him for innapropiet behavior, bot and everything:
Cope, lil b
The chat in the second game was more interesting then the game. That Fv4005 was so mad at those afk players in base XD
How would you compare this to the M48 Patton? On paper it seems to be better in almost all aspects aside from armor.
That IS4 bait.....like fishing :D
Does anyone know if the Primo VIctoria also got affected by the buffs? i cant find anything about this but you know...hope and stuff.
It isn't sadly
This tonk gets ammorack even during the 30 sec countdown :)
🤣🤣🤣 I have never seen someone act like they are AFK to trick someone else into trying to jump on them and then moving at the last second to then circle and kill the guy lol. For real though, that was a big brain play and I would have never thought of doing something like that. That was literally the best possible thing you could of done in that situation skil.
skill, is there any reason to rock the second equipment slot with the survivability boost on it? you seem to be carrying the rammer on the slot, maybe it'd be a better idea to switch to gun boost!
Meds only have survivability or spotting as boost options.
@@klauskasuppke6752 haven't thought of that, thanks!
What's the percentage Stat u have above your damage
Looking back into how they treated the AMX heavy tech tree, enjoy the tank while you can , nerf will soon be on the way😢
This doesn't need nerfa
They just said , u want to see this AMX line like this , 4 months later : nAH
Lets grind this fast and watch them neft this 2 weeks later.
Thank you for keeping it real
what was with the two Jg100e?
Tell you what, that 3D skin is fantastic. Makes me want the tank just so I can look at that while playing.
My first techtree line. Maybe time to reinstall and check it out.
Did flipwagen German t10 is still bad? :D
That FV guy need to watch more videos from our king baboon for sure :D
I'm with you Skil. I don't like the games where one team just wiped out the other team quick. I like games where you sit back in the middle of it and say damn, this is a close game. Both teams are going at it and who knows who will win.
King Baboon: challenge accepted :D
Can I just say, that the second game was AMAZING!! Really, a great battle, very close, enemy team really had great game, THIS is what I would hope to have for most of my games, a real challenge to win by both sides, equal match up!!
Skill, something tells me that you are secretly in love with this tank - 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Feels like centurion ax replaced stb, only advantage of STB is gun dep, but everything else is for the centurions good
They buffed the wrong things in my opinion, once you get past the tier 8 , your turret remains the same, and gets shredded by heat. I think if wg kept the forehead weakspot against heat but made the frontal mantle like 350 effective then it would be in a much better position.
Skill considering 3.5k dmg bad/avarage games is insane! I will take it every day of the week!
I think the buffs for the tanks seem quite good. I however wonder where this puts Patton...
The patton needs an armour buff, it's so slow yet doesn't seem to hold up in a brawl. The gun handling is great though
The Patton still outclasses this POS. You can actually reliably hit what you aim at, and despite the armor being worse on paper, you dont have an ammo rack for a driver.
Patton still better than cent ax
@@zerovia6436 exactly. Better premium round too iirc.
I’ve never played this tank. Isnt that weak armor is bring lot of problems with it? You can still penetratable with all gold shells :( In the game there are some tanks that if you dont play it yourself but just play against it, it looks like garbage such as Maus, e100, e50m. However when you play it they feels amazing.( due to weak armor and bad player base who dont know how to play tanks) is cent ax are like these tanks?
The turret armor isn't the best. It has about 250-260 mm at most, so occasionally you will bounce some tier 8-9 tanks but forget about using the gun depression in tier 10. It's a more nimble version of the M48 Patton but not by much. However, with this buff, there's no reason to play the Patton now. It's at a level of being a more armored Leopard that can run at 52-55 km/h. Keep in mind that HEAT will shred this turret like butter.
Weak armor is completely problem for cent ax , overall British mediums has characteristics like : good Dpm , good mobility , very good ammo types to shoot and gun depression for hull down position with armor also some camo for sniping. But unfortunate cent ax do not have any armor and camo (Bec of profile of tank) that means you will usually open target for enemies even while you are using full gun depression. That's why still it doesn't feel like British medium , it feels like leopardish tank with worse stats.
if they release night-maps, this tank should get +5 viewrange with this camo
This tank was the inaction x now it’s useable
My fav tank got buffed, so happy .
Watch out, if it gets too popular it might be hit with the nerf bat.
About close games, I agree completely. Close games are way more fun. I find it mind blowing that people still advocate against Skill based matchmaking.
For me Centurion 7/1 tier 9 is more fun than AX , i like it more than this
Agree games are far more fun and engaging when the match maker creates a balanced game. It is depressing to play game after game of ten to zero, eleven to zero, etc scores. The match maker is crap in random battle games. If War Gaming fixed the match maker I know a lot of players that have quit that would come back to the game.
Idk if it's on PC, but the centurion AVRE just came out on console not long ago in the battle pass and I hate that fucking tank. It's pretty much centurion tier 10 with a plow on the front and a deathstars gun that will one shot everyone. It's stupid.
got Centurion AX 3 mark :D
I had terrible games with the Progetto today, they have killed the gun handling, you have to use Bond vert stab to get it back to what is was, now I had to loose improved aiming to take that and I'm missing everything 🙄, the hull armour is trash now, everyone can pen you even with auto aim, I can see it dropping down to a 47% Win rate tank, it was 11th in class on damage done before but I can see it being a lot worse.
Progetto died for me RIP but they killed it Bec of lion
I think auto reloader tanks(kran prog etc.) Got late nerf but this is way too much.
Trying to get that god damn reticle mod working has been a disaster. It’s one 4kb file and im sitting here sifting through python to try and fucking see if it’s working
the mod creator said on the mod page that the 1.19 version is working on 1.20
@@Bloody7890 I guess. We’ll see when he updates it
@Bloody the mod maker is lying then and has no clue how mods work. When the game updates to a new version, old mods stop working bc of how they are coded vs. how the game files are coded.
@@nephalos666 they are not, i often move "old" mods to the new folder and they work.
@@nephalos666 lol? just...drag the old 1.19 file into the new 1.20 /mods folder. Works for me and everyone else who did this, why be salty and say shit like that instead of just trying it out? Also you have 0 clue what you're talking about.
Got 2nd mark on this tank but can not have m tanker
so in the first game, Skill's team had a platoon that did little to nothing in the battle, while the enemy team had a platoon that did much better. Given what's been proven to be occurring with regards to platoons, what are the odds we just saw it happen again.
After 1.20 update my game is stuck on garage loading
I stopped this line with the comet, should I continue to centurion 1 and t9 ?
Centurion 7/1 the T9 is extremely enjoyable to play with a solid turret and insane 210mm pen HESH round for 480dmg
For the love of God, no. Dont go any further. Dont listen to Eric. The tier 8 thru 10 have no redeeming qualities to them. Stick with the Comet.
tier 9 is the best in entire line, even after this "buff" for CAX
did you get german or soviet mediums? if not go for them first.
You need to try centurion 7/1 one of the best medium to play nowadays.
thnx
That skin looks siiick
the first game is my rng after I activate the resources :)
My second t10
skill actually aimed pretty bad in first game, not tank foult
I always liked the AX.
Nick_Shox had a 11K+ game with Centurion AX last night .
cax, večiti kamper :D
Pozdrav, 3MAJ :)
WG buffed the top speed and forgot to increase the engine power this tank cant even get to top speed in a straight line
After 7 years of playing this game casually, i still don't understand spotting mechanics. If we are proxy spotting that IS4, why we didnt get assisting dmg when he was hit on 26:40 ?
because allies who shoot him were also spotting him probably
There is mechanic like shared communicate , that means you are spotting first but after your spot enemy tank camo stats reducing that means your teammates can spot it now. Think that like you trigger and now your allies can see it tho.
@@zerovia6436 got it!
@@favorius yea
It's not shit anymore, it's decent now. The HESH shells are very competitive and 4k DPM can work. The turret armor and the hull will be penetrated any day, anmorack is just too fragile but the gun is literally 29-33% better.
Nah. The gun is still shit and the gun is attached to an ammo rack on tracks. It's still an Action Shit.
Amx is not the same anymore,my today session is awfull,thx Wargaming
this manticore pure joy for me to see this, I bet he yolos a lot xd
Great support med, not a brawler, medium range provide fire support, use ridges where possible, use that 10deg gun depression, rate of fire, damage, pen, beautiful gun
Main problem is Leo 1 , this tank compared to Leo has nothing to offer better that's why they need to give some hull down ability to cent . Both has same characteristics but Leo way more better.
B-b-b-but Skiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill, you should rather install hardening instead of ventilation
Still think they should buff the turret atleast a little
The tank is huge and has no armour
Today a buff for Centurion A X hip hip huray.. In 2 - 3 months nerf 🤭
1st game is a victim of WG sigma nerf, RNG decided your team would lose, so when you roll accuracy its worse, when you roll damage, its low, when you roll pen, its minimum. WG has this BS algo active once it decides on average, players on your team is winning too often, it skews to a loss to even out give enemy team a better chance.
close hard games are the BEST!!!!
Llorain 40t medium tank plzz
It is worth if u dont have any clip premium tank
Second game - Progetto pre nerf would have gotten Kolobanov! Easy!
So this isn't the Action Sh*t anymore?
Skiil..action what???
Wg is buffing all thanks that I have sold...
I dont play this game anymore and wanted to install it just to block the FV4005 from the 2nd game
greate comment, and greate video!
Centurion AX gun looks better now, but Progetto 65 got destroyed after nerf! Very SAD!
They are killing old meta to create new one , they milked autoreloader meta enough. That means new type of tanks will come soon like bz
XD Skill "enemy has a stronger spawn", meanwhile 2 Jagdpizzas never left base till then and a centurion the spawn circle afk.
I think he may have said you would not post it on your YT channel because of the racial slur he had previously used in chat.
same story like AMX buff then funny game and then nerf 😀
IS4 outplay so funny 😁
skilll
Fun Fact, the Centurion AX has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Bad Alpha Damage.
Bad Firing Rate.
Bad Penetration.
Bad Accuracy.
No Gun Depression.
Bad Hull Armor.
Okay-ish Turret Armor.
Large Profile.
Okay-ish Camo Rating.
Slow Speed.
Expensive Ammunition.
Expensive to repair.
Low credits per hit.
You are literally a detriment to your team and to yourself in this thing.
👍
So it is still a massive piece of shit. Good to know. Saves me the pain of that horrendous grind and silver. Thank you skill.
So, no more Centurion action-shit Skill 😂
Said too much about Progetto nerf; WG turned off CC RNG 😂
centurion action S*hit > Centurion action 10 xd yeah how the tables have turned for MR centurion , good for any British MT lovers 😂
Tier 9 got this same buff except DPM. That gun is already in the Charioteer, it would be insanely good if it received DPM buff but still the gun handling was the parameter where it struggled. I'm seriously considering rebuking that tier 9.
@@juanjodpr7/1 was very good even before buffs and i think Dpm buff will broke balance which means it can be overpowered. It's very good tank to play in tier 9 especially I'm fall in love with ammo variety to choose Bec nowadays other tanks just feel like press 2 and forgot ammo.
Doing 3k dmg and saying "i am not afraid to show games like this"
My man when i make 3k i feel like i mastered the game lol.
2 JE100 in base second game…. That much about monkeys
LEOPARD pronounced LE P ARD
it will become popular and wg will nerf it back.
They broke my T110e3😢
Just go play the 268v4. It's basically a Russian E3. And you know they wont nerf it!
