The day 3 spot falls to the first MBT, the Centurion. Which tank deserves to win the D-point for day four?
With 11 upvotes, the FV4007 Centurion has taken first place for day 3. Which tank shall win the D-spot for day 4?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Short History:
Developed during World War Two, but arriving in Europe only a few weeks after V-E day, the Centurion proved itself a competent armoured fighting vehicle in the battlefields of Korea, India, and Vietnam. Known to many as the first main battle tank ever developed, the Centurion saw widespread in dozens of armies, from Australia and Singapore, throughout the 20th century.
Alas for the Centurion, the rise of new tanks desgins like T-72s, Leopards, and in its home country, the Chieftain, meant that there was no longer a place for it in many militaries, and usage of it was slowly phased out.

Rules (For those who are just joining):
-Every day corresponds to a different letter of the alphabet, and people suggest tanks that begin with that letter (Today is day 3, so we are selecting for letter C).
-Either the official designation (M4A1) or official nickname (Sherman) can be used. However, to keep things fresh, no duplicates will be allowed.
-Highest upvoted comment wins, and of course, only tanks will be allowed.
Happy Hunting!
