-'''Sho't''' (Hebrew: שוט‎ — '''«whip»''') was the Israeli designation for the British Centurion Mk.5 tank. Israel received a certain number of these tanks between 1958 and 1960, as part of cooperation with Britain, replacing the modernised Sherman tanks then in service with the IDF which were no match for the M48s and T-54s in service with Arab nations. The Sho't tanks saw their baptism of fire in 1967 during the Six-Day War, where they demonstrated good results engaging enemy targets and also high survivability. However, after the hostilities ended, the need for modernisation of the vehicles became apparent.

 Introduced in [[Update "Wind of Change"]], the Sho't behaves exactly like the [[Centurion Mk.5/1]]. Centurions are not characterised by their mobility, firepower, or armour; instead, they rely on their gun handling, thanks to their two-axis stabiliser and a relatively powerful APDS shell. While the 84 mm gun will not win in terms of penetration power compared to other guns such as the [[T-54 (1949)|T-54]]'s 100 mm D-10T or the [[Leopard I]]'s L7A3, the combination with the two-axis stabiliser allows it to be used effectively to push corners and shoot while moving to avoid enemy fire. This also gives the Sho't a much quicker reaction time since it doesn't have to stop to get a precise shot if it encounters an enemy while changing positions or flanking.

-The Sho't was the Hebrew name given by the Israeli Armed Forces to the Centurion tanks and their different versions. The first Sho't was a [[Centurion Mk.5/1]] without any relevant modification. The Sho't was introduced to Israel during the 1960s in an effort by the IAF to modernize their tank force. At that time, the IAF only operated modernized Shermans and several WW2-era modified vehicles that were no match for the M48s and T-54s in service with the Arab nations.

-Introduced in [[Update "Wind of Change"]], the Sho't behaves equally to the [[Centurion Mk.5/1]]. It is a very powerful tank that relies heavily on its gun handling. Centurions are not characterized by their mobility, firepower or armour. Instead, they rely on their gun handling, thanks to their two-axis stabilizer and a relatively powerful APDS shell.

+The Sho't participated in different wars in IAF service, of course, not without being upgraded during it's whole life service. The first Sho't fitted by the IAF was acquired in 1958. In this time the IAF was due to receive the Chieftain and was negotiating with Britain to acquire this new heavy tank.

 Shot Mk.3 APDS is another story: its flat trajectory and high velocity helps it in hitting long-distance targets or fast movers. However, the overall post-effect is still quite disappointing, so players have to remember the weakspots or ammo racks just like with the Shot Mk.1.
