Well, these two lines focus on a medium branch having better mobility and more armament options
while the other line is a heavy focused line with more armor and decent mobility.
This will maintaining the streamline of gameplay which would be accordingly and fitting to it's respective tech tree grind.

The tech tree branch

Important

Guns removed: 3.7 Inch. Howitzer from Cromwell and the Comet.

Renamed tanks

FV4003 to FV4019 which is the correct one as that one uses the dozer in front.

Tier V: Cavalier (A24 Cruiser Tank Mk VII Cavalier)
Class: Medium

Its basically like the Cromwell only a bit worse (QF 6 pounder gun (57 mm)) while also having access to the 3.7 Inch. Howitzer (94mm)

The A24 Cruiser Tank Mk VII Cavalier was a British cruiser tank developed during the Second World War as an interim design to replace the A15 Crusader. It was largely unsuccessful as a gun tank due to an underpowered engine and mechanical problems and was primarily used for training or converted for other roles

Tier VI: Centaur (A27L Mark IV Centaur)
My personal given nickname: "Popper"
Class: Medium

Same thing again only with some minor improvements only a bit worse using a Ordnance QF 95-mm tank howitzer

The A27L Mark IV Centaur was a British Cruiser Tank Mk VIII variant primarily used for close infantry support during the Normandy landings and in training roles due to its less powerful engine compared to its counterpart, the A27M Cromwell. The "L" in its designation stands for the Nuffield Liberty engine it was equipped with.

- Important Note

At this point you will only start using two types of ammunition
HESH, Prem. HESH mainly and ***HEAT ***for gameplay sake only

Tier VII: FV4003 Cent. Mk. 1 AVRE (FV4003 Centurion Mark. 1)
My personal given nickname: "Thunder"
Class: Medium

- Important!
You will now be using HESH, HESH and Prem. HEAT rounds.
while the second HESH has more pen it has less damage making you choose. HEAT round is VERY EXPENSIVE while the HESH rounds are VERY CHEAP to fire making these tanks pretty good silver earners.

FAKE: A Centurion Mark I tank fitted with a 105mm Royal Ordnance L7 gun

Tier VIII: FV4003 Cent. Mk. 3 AVRE (FV4003 Centurion Mark. 3)
My personal given nickname: "Wrecker"
Class: Medium

- Important!
You will now have two gun options a 105mm Royal Ordnance L7 which fires: HESH, HESH and Prem. HEAT rounds. With it's benefits it can now use the 165mm L9 which is the unimproved version of the L9A1
and uses HESH and Prem. HESH only

FAKE: A Centurion Mark III tank fitted with a 105mm Royal Ordnance L7 gun and a second gun option the 165mm L9

Tier IX: FV4003 Cent. Mk. 5 AVRE (FV4003 Centurion Mark. 5)
My personal given nickname: "Demolisher"
Class: Medium

FAKE: A Centurion Mark V tank fitted with a 105mm Royal Ordnance L7 gun and a second gun option the 165mm L9

Tier X: FV4007 Cent. Mk. 12 AVRE (FV4007 Centurion Mark. 12)
My personal given nickname: "Castle Breaker"
Class: Medium

- Important!
You will now have two gun options a 105mm Royal Ordnance L7 which fires: HESH, HESH and Prem. HEAT rounds. With it's benefits it can now use the 165mm L9A1 the unimproved version of the L9
and uses HESH and Prem. HESH only

FAKE: A Centurion Mark XII tank fitted with a 105mm Royal Ordnance L7 gun and a second gun option the 165mm L9A1

- Important Note

At this point you will only start using two types of ammunition
HESH, Prem. HESH mainly and ***HEAT ***for gameplay sake only while this line mostly focuses on a sturdy playstyle it's not so far of then their normal counterparts that are in game

Tier VII: FV202: AVRE(T)
Class: Heavy

- Important!
the tank uses a BL 6-inch gun (152mm) although I have no idea what the tank uses for ammunition I assume it would be HE and HEAT.
while this line will focus more on a bit more sturdy instead of their mobility like their other part

Tier VIII: Chief/Cent. AVRE (Chieftain/Centurion Hybrid AVRE)
Class: Heavy

- Important!
This tank will be fitted with a 120mm special made up for this tank
with the capabilities of firing HESH, HESH and Prem. HEAT same rule implies with the medium tanks as with the heavies only the cost are a bit higher
and later can use a 165mm L9A1 with HESH and Prem. HESH

FAKE: My own creation a Chieftains hull combined with a Centurion turret fitted with the 165mm L9A1 gun

Tier IX: FV4203 Chief. AVRE (FV4203 Chieftain AVRE)
Class: Heavy

Important note

It was required that the vehicle maintain a high level of maneuverability and the best power-to-weight ratio possible. To achieve this, the turret was removed saving 12-tons. This, however, meant that the 165mm Demolition Gun was not added.

Important note

Has two gun option a Royal Ordnance L11 120mm capable of firing HESH, HESH and Prem. HEAT and later it will have the ***165mm L9A1 ***firing HESH and Prem. HESH
FAKE: This means I had to play around and for some sake I did give it the 165mm.

Tier X: FV4207 Chief. AEV(G) (FV4207 Chieftain AEV(G))
Class: Heavy

There were two versions. These were the ‘W’ and ‘G’. The AEV (W) would be an unarmed variant with no turret or large caliber armament. It would be equipped with a 30-ton capacity winch, hence the identifier ‘W’. It would also carry the No. 7 twin-track bridge, a short bridge able to be placed across ditches or trenches. It was intended to replace fascines. The AEV (G) retained its turret and carried the same 165mm Demolition Gun (hence the identifier ‘G’) as the Centurion AVRE. It would also carry an ‘A-frame’ crane on the turret in a configuration similar to the American M728 CEV (Combat Engineer Vehicle). An Armoured Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB) variant was also designed.
All of these were intended to replace the Centurion-based models then in service. Fifteen AEV (G)s, which had acquired the designation FV4207

Important note

Has two gun option a Royal Ordnance L11 120mm capable of firing HESH, HESH and Prem. HEAT and later it will have the ***165mm L9A1 ***firing HESH and Prem. HESH

Some extra's I didn't add as three of them are a bit vague but pretty fun to show nonetheless

Premium tank
Tier VIII: M4A1/FV3903
(M4A1 Sherman C Tower FV3903 Churchill A.V.R.E.)
Class: Medium

- Important note
A Sherman with a Churc
hill Engineer's turret mounted on top of it was spotted in the storage rooms of the I.O.W (Isle of Wight) museum. Moreover, at the time of the reconstruction and
writing the article, according to our data, the tower had already been used for the restoration of the legitimate body - the Churchill heavy tank. it uses a 165mm L9A1 gun

Its FAKE

Tier VIII: FV4007 Cent. Mk. IV (FV4007 Centurion Mark 4)
Class: Medium

- Important note

while not much to find on this thing some people have created this tank and honestly it looks hilarious. It's a Centurion Mk. IV with a 95mm Howitzer

Premium tank
Tier VIII: FV202: AVRE(L)
Class: Heavy

Important
While I can't find much on this thing it is said it has the AVRE treatment which means it was probably not fitted with a gun but in this well my case I do cause I'm having a bit of fun probably would look the same as its other part.
FAKE: added a gun for gameplay and will be using the same gun the BL 6-Inch (152mm)

Premium tank
Tier X: Conqueror AVRE
Class: Heavy

Important
While I can't find much on this, and which I doubt is any real I did found a name plate but can't be sure now as I have made this tech tree months ago and hadn't backed up the link. so yeah but still looks pretty funny.

Premium tank
Tier X: FV215A (Heavy AVRE)
Class: Heavy

No pics available sources vague! tank is mostly fake

Important
While I can't find much on this, however..... I did found the name plate of this tank and have no idea what they would mean with HEAVY AVRE perhaps a version with a 180mm or something else

I am merely liking this thread because I want more #centurions. but I can almost gurantee this branch would not be well received by the community because of the AVRE

I Still want a regular Mk13 added as a premium or to the current med branch. Just letting the devs know that.

Given current balance it's a hard ask for another derp tank line . I think the current Sturmtiger line does what this line does already so having another derp line in the British tech tree is taking away the fun of the Death star line it would take alot of rebalance to make it not another Derp tank line with the exact same gameplay
