Xd vehicle is great till u meet T55am1/vidar/turm iii/leo1. Shit armor, no mobility, shells 4hat do NOTHING to these vehicles (no spall to ldo 1 with apds, bouncing off turm iii drivee hatch or srh with apds). Great tank on its br, great against us, france, normal natiins, nor broken ones. Againsy sweden, germany, russia, gets raped. Especially that germany has broken cas. Sho't is better, at least u have 50cal. Sayin it as a player that has 2:1 k/d, grinded through M48a1 first, then cent. Cent is overall bettwr, but lack of good gun makes it shit, lack of heat. Doing nothing to marders, df 105s, because u have no spall, dying because u bounce off a BMP1 WITH 105 APDS, not fucking fun. Good tank, but i hate brits sometimes. Currently suffering at 8.0, each match u meet 8.7/9.0, turm iik anf leo, and 55am1 rape you every match. Sales moment.

Depends what scenario it is but i would reckon the cent wins most of the times, as mentioned in the video the stabilizer is huge, and it will allow you to be more flexible in most engagements. Ive also noticed that the m48s tend to have far less killing potential than the centurion. Probably just my perspective, but you can shoot the m48 center mass in the hull and one shot them with the cent most times, while the m48 tends to be unable to do so most times i meet them. It may be cause most use heat, maybe hitting my sideskirts or such? No clue, regardless most times even if they get the first shot the m48 just loses. (Given that the cent shoots well) As always good video big man, good overview of each tank's capabilities.

One thing the M48 has is a 50 cal, which can be amazingly helpful when dealing with lightskin vehicles because a lot of them cannot be penned with a regular machine gun but can with a 50 cal. This is made more annoying by the fact that a lot of american light vehicles and some less exposed open top vehicles ARE 50 cal proof and if you're not running something with a DShK or a US export that has a 50 cal then it could get you killed if you hit it with an ap round and do basically nothing, or if your round doesn't fuse. This isn't as important at 7.7 but if you run into something like a bmp and the gunner doesn't die to your first shot that 50 cal could save you.

Its a very skill based vehicle. It has the tools, but extreme downsides. No armor and piss poor top speed means you must hit every shot perfectly and be completely aware of your surroundings to succeed. One mistake and you're done. But if you play it right you can easily go on a rampage.

I particularly like the centurion, when hull down almost no one can pen you, and with stab, you can do snapshots, really good reverse and having smoke are means to retreat which is a benefit, buut centurion is kind of subpar on cqc but its stab helps it for the first shot

M48 has better armour at close range but the Centurion's better in a hull-down. The centurions' gun is *FAR* superior to that of the M48, having higher velocity, higher pen, a quicker reload, and the very, very pivotal 2-plane stabilizer.
@Dorsidwarf

@@ZETH_27 The centurion's APDS is incredible painful to use against equivalent soviet vehicles in-game due to shatter, ricochet, and general volumetric weirdness, and I swear less accurate than other rounds too. If played as a super-long-range hulldown sniper, the stabiliser is much less important, and its paper-thin sides and weak roof make it a magnet for rat tanks and air strafe (50-cal/20mm strafing will set the engine deck on fire in my experience) if you try and get in close to hit those flat spots. I like it, but you can't help but feel like that stabiliser is propping its BR way, way up.

"IRL," the M48 was a fairly decent machine (very mobile, as the Pakistanis found out, and an ok gun + very good fire control system). Sadly, it was also quite tall and poorly protected (even French AMX light tanks could punch through it), and those two factors make it kinda "meh" in WarTinder.

That's true, if I recall correctly the Isreali's liked the M48 more than the Centurions, which I find very interesting. My guess is that it's due to the fire control system like you mentioned among other things. US was ahead when it came to FCS on their tanks at that time.
