But anyway I digress, the British made the choice to trade speed for protection and so it should not be a suprise the Centurion dominated the Patton on the defensive.
Good point. The Patton could travel about 50% faster than the Centurion on paved roads. Off-road performance levelled that playing field though, and under certain conditions the Cent with its manual gearbox was quicker across country than the M-48 with its automatic gearbox. Generally their cross-country capabilities were much of a muchness.
