In 1942, development work started regarding Centurion, an Uk hefty cruiser tank designed to counter the power of German armor. Notable design features had been the sloped front armor (a first on a British tank), powerful 600hp engine, and Horstmann suspension. Firepower ended up being looked after by either the 17 pounder (76.2mm) weapon or its 77mm variant. An initial batch of six Mk.I Centurions ended up being completed in April 1945, even though that was far too late for them to reach the front lines ahead of the German surrender in-may, work continued on brand new Centurion variants: the Mk.II was given a fresh cast turret, before being superseded in 1948 by the upgunned Mk.IIwe and its own 20 pounder. The Mk.III Centurion first saw combat action in Korean War, showing its worth repeatedly in hopeless back-and-forth struggle. In old age, it absolutely was exported to militaries in Europe, Asia, Israel and Egypt.
