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.

Veterancy Levels:

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

At last allied AA vehicle that doesn't die to 2 shots.

Ostwind fans, you'll have allied counterpart challenger.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

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.

'20mm Strafing Fire'

I can smell the OP threads incoming

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

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

SHOUT IT OUT!

LimaOscarMike: My laptop can't even run COH3. Should I get them on my Series X or is it dead yet?
Last Saturday, 05:10 AM

Rosbone: One of my last major gripes about Coh3. Price is still too high I feel for growth. But progress is always good.
Last Saturday, 04:43 AM

Rosbone: I am not 100% sure but I think Relic actually fixed up the skirmish menus a little last patch. If so, thank you and keep it coming.

Osinyagov: Suddenly, coh2 is slowly dying, but you can play it, playerbase still big enough
09 Apr 2025, 17:00 PM

Osinyagov: Wow, i remember you from zansi and vali videos, good old memories
09 Apr 2025, 16:58 PM

Beinhard: o7 miss this game and zansi

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol
02 Apr 2025, 01:34 AM

Willy Pete: @Rosbone not dead yet. when that happens the font will switch to Papyrus

02 Apr 2025, 00:16 AM

dasheepeh: it was an honor guys

01 Apr 2025, 20:34 PM

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

01 Apr 2025, 20:19 PM

dasheepeh: no comic sans font for april 1st this year?
01 Apr 2025, 19:56 PM

Willy Pete: @Lady Xenarra this you? https://i.imgflip.com/3e4thi.jpg
01 Apr 2025, 02:53 AM

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
