Was the Centurion AX Always Terrible

Draschel: Centurion AX in public battle, is actually somewhat powerful. While it does not have camo, DPM, turret armor of AMX30, STB1-> it does have better more forgiving hull armor and can trade better than STB1. And comparing it to similar gun depression generalist like M48A Patton, it again does not have the turret armor or DPM, but does have better camo for moving around. It again does not have UDES turret armor and camo, or the alpha - but at least brings to the table 330 HEAT pen.  With all these in mind, Centurion can't be considered bad. But it can't be considered good, condemned to mediocrity. And useless in clan wars and ranked, where too much of the game is based on having highly coveted extremes.  However, in +2/-2MM Centurion performs well. It can be more aggressive than tanks like AMX30, M60, STB1 (flat ground) and Leopard, while still serving in sniper roles. It has acceptable camo levels. And nice gun depression, alpha to bully tier 8s. 410m VR, compared to 390 and 400 of many other tier X also allow for the easier obtaining of 445m max. Allowing better gun handling setups using ventilation and rotation mech, instead of optics.  By the way, another great buff I'd recommend would be 420m base VR. This adds to Action Xs support repertoire.
