Historical Description
"As the A15 Crusader Tank rolled out in 1940, the British understood they would need a replacement at some point during the war and therefore commissioned new designs. The result were the Cromwell and Centaur tanks. The Cromwell was a successful model and first saw action during the Battle of Normandy. While similar in most respects, the Centaur suffered from an underpowered engine and served primarily as a training vehicle in the British army. After the war, many Centaurs were donated to the Greek military and formed the basis of their first armored corps. Centaurs remained in Greek service through the 1950s".
Attacking Strategies
- Centaur Tanks have a lot of health but are slow and have low attack power, so use them in groups.
- Centaur Tanks are weak against many defenses grouped together.
- Due to their high health, Centaur Tanks can be use as meat shields to protect infantry from the defenses.
- Anti-Tank Guns can destroy Centaur Tanks easily like all Heavy Cavalry. If you can, try swarming it with heavy infantry or ranged infantry to destroy it quick enough since the anti-tank gun is slow.
- When pushing for trophies, you would need to destroy the City Center. In many bases, the City Center would be in the center of the base. First, train up an army of Centaur and an Veteran Combat Engineer. When attacking, deploy a Veteran Combat Engineer and wait until it destroys the necessary walls, then deploy all your Centaur Tanks in the areas which the City Center is more close to. If there are a few defenses blocking the way, destroy them. Then rally your Centaur Tanks to destroy the City Center.
- Centaur Tanks would ignore defensive troops and would pursue their targets which are defensive buildings. However, if a defensive troop attacks the Centaur Tank, the Centaur Tank will attack back until the defensive troop is killed; thus making the Centaur Tank distracted. Try to use and deploy Ranged Infantry such as Veteran SMG or Heavy Infantry such as Elite Infantry after deploying the Centaur Tank to eliminate the defensive troops.
Defensive Strategy
- Centaur Tanks are a good alliance troop due to its high health, making it longer to kill them.
Trivia
- The Centaur Tank is most likely based of the Soviet Tank T-54.
