Description:

The Centaur AA Mk. II Cruiser Tank is a heavily armored anti-aircraft platform with powerful twin 20mm Polsten guns.

Deployment conditions:

Company Command Post and 320MP/100FU

Deployed from:

Company Command Post

Abilities:

20mm Strafing Fire – The 20mm cannons are pushed to their limit, laying down a rapid fire barrage at 450 rounds per minute in the designated direction.

Emergency War Speed – Increases maximum speed by pushing the vehicle's engine beyond its rated power for a short duration. Royal Engineers have made mechanical improvements to allow for this.

Veterancy Levels:

Rank 1 – Unlocks the '20mm Strafing Fire' veteran ability.
Rank 2 – Driver training improves the vehicles movement speed and rotation speed.

British looking good. USF is going to need some changes or UKF and SOV going to be only allied played factions. With Axis it is going to be interesting facing a faction that is looking very similar to the OST.

Wonder what that Strafing Fire ability does?
Instant suppression of a blob? Wipes?

"The Centaur AA Mk. II Cruiser Tank is a heavily armored anti-aircraft platform with powerful twin 20mm Polsten guns."

Centaurs were heavily armored?... No wonder this thing bounced panzer IV shells in Alpha. People will sure be happy to find that out when they try to use a medium tank to kill it Kappa
