Their fate is either dismantled or ended up in museum at the end of their almost 50 year service.
 Introduced in [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]], the Strv 101 has increased firepower over earlier Strv 81. As one of the first tanks to be equipped with the 105 mm Royal Ordnance L7A1 tank gun, it equips players with devastating firepower that will undoubtedly destroy any opponent's tanks. Ammunition options are limited to armour-piercing discarding sabot (APDS) or high explosive squash head (HESH) rounds. Nonetheless, with a staggering 350 mm of armour penetration for the primary anti-tank ammunition, the Centurion Mk 10 is capable of dealing with any foe on the battlefield. However, the mobility of all Centurions is below average, owing to the tank's enormous weight combined with a low horsepower engine. The playstyles are quite similar to the Strv 81, with nearly identical armour arrangement.

-The '''Stridsvagn (Strv) 101''' was the Swedish designation for the [[Centurion Mk 10]], the tenth variant of the [[Centurion (Family)|Centurion medium tank family]]. Every new Centurion manufactured after the Centurion Mk 5/2 variant was equipped with the 105 mm Royal Ordnance L7A1 tank gun. The 105 mm Royal Ordnance L7A1 tank gun, officially known as Gun, 105 mm, Tank, L7, was the most successful British tank gun. It was designed for use in armoured fighting vehicles, and replaced the earlier 84 mm QF 20-pounder tank cannon fitted in British Centurion tank variants from the [[Centurion Mk 3|Mk 3]] to the [[Centurion Mk.5/1|Mk 5/1]]. Due to the economic necessity of increasing exports to generate scarce foreign currency, the British arms export stance shifted in early December 1952. Britain offered to sell extra Centurions as soon as possible. Between 1952 and 1953, Swedish Minister of Defence Torsten Nilsson placed an initial order for 80 units of Centurion Mk 3, redesignated [[Strv 81]] in the Swedish Army, with the first delivery set in April 1953. Sweden placed an additional order for 160 units of Centurion Mk 5 (also redesignated Strv 81) in 1955, followed by more orders for 110 units of Centurion Mk 10 in 1960 (redesignated Strv 101). For numerous decades, the Centurions Mk 3, 5 and 10, together with the [[Strv 103 (Family)|Strv 103]], were the backbone of the Swedish armoured brigades. In the 1960s, the existing Swedish Centurion Mk 3 and 5 tanks were updated with a 105 mm Royal Ordnance L7A1 tank cannon and renamed Strv 102.
