use a pak or cloaked reketen.
The centaur seems to be pretty good at killing paks and reketen frontally. I'd like to play more games against it before I make any judgments but I can see that being a problem if it becomes a trend.

Mabey you got lucky or have bad luck.

No way, I've tried to fight it with 2 cloaked Puppchens and 3 ISG's...
UKF tanks are insanely durable.
It's not as bad as armored based flame weapons though (WTF?!)

One serious note. It needs a slight tone down but I think to be honest the amount of AT that the Germans have make this a balanced unit. 6 Shrecks in a volk blob devastates this thing and the Faust snare forces it to stay at range where it's accuracy is over performing. I reckon an AOE increase damage decrease and accuracy decrease at range would keep it strong in that it'll punish blobs)but in the same regard be less effective against individual squads.

like buying an ostwind as OSTHEER while being behind fuel wise most of the game.

Shred two things at once?
Shred one thing twice?

What's the point of its vet ability if it just shreds everything normally?

The ability can cut an almighty swathe through an unsuspecting blob.

Buying a centaur instead of a tank that can engage other tanks as Brits is pretty significant risk, or an icing on the cake of a game that you're winning

Would you recommend a Cromwell over a Centaur most of the time?

I play Brits like I played ostheer. Stall. For. Those. OP LATE TANKS. like comet and Churchill
You can rely on double 6pdr and AEC to stop basically every vehicle while you stall like you can rely on double pak40 and puma.
This is 2v2+ observation so far btw. Haven't played a lot of 1v1 YET but again I'd imagine the principles are the same; you don't go Ostwind when you're behind as ostheer unless you're really confident in your AT gun micro; so why do it with the centaur as Brits.
And from what I've seen in live games/replays of 1v1 Brits, you'll be lucky to hit T3 before enemy has 1 P4 and another t3 unit on the way with how far behind Brits are early game and fuel wise. They might as well have a fuel penalty. So I that case, stall for the anvil hammer armor. 1 Cromwell/firefly/centaur will die to T3 SO fast when you have no map.
Churchill and comet hard counter ostheer T3 so hard if you play them right, so why even bother with T3 brit units at all.

I'd have to say while the Bofors is about right in my opinion this tank is way over performing. At least the Bofors is immobile and has counters but the allies having an Ostwind equivalent is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. The allies must melt to glorious Deutscher Krupp Stahl lest the Axis have to use tactics. Kappa

Your answer is to blob six Volksgrenadiers... How about NO.

It's a pretty late game tank so if you have 2 paks or a pak and tank that's more than enough to kill it quickly. However, it does kill the hell out of infantry. It's about 10x as good at its job as an Ostwind.
