In 1942, development work started regarding Centurion, an Uk hefty cruiser tank made to counter the power of German armor. Notable design features were the sloped frontal armor (a primary on a British tank), powerful 600hp motor, and Horstmann suspension system. Firepower had been cared for by either the 17 pounder (76.2mm) gun or its 77mm variation. A short batch of six Mk.I Centurions ended up being completed in April 1945, and while that was too late for them to achieve leading lines prior to the German surrender in-may, work continued on brand new Centurion variations: the Mk.II was given a brand new cast turret, before being superseded in 1948 by the upgunned Mk.III and its 20 pounder. The Mk.III Centurion first saw combat action inside Korean War, demonstrating its worth over and over in the desperate back-and-forth fight. In later years, it had been exported to militaries in European countries, Asia, Israel and Egypt.
