-The armour is very lacking to say the least. The only notable thing to say about its armour is that it can take hits from most autocannons and that from the front, the "Blazer" ERA enables this tank to survive against HEAT munitions. Also keep in mind that there is a large gap in the ERA on the right side of the turret face, as there are modules blocking the installation of ERA. But if hit in the turret from the front there is a high chance of survival unlike getting hit from the hull because of internal structural steel enabling rounds to create more fragments.

If you're lucky, certain armor-piercing shots at your ERA won't penetrate, but don't push your luck on it since you're still completely outpaced by more better armored tanks like the [[Leopard 2A4]], [[M1 Abrams]], and [[T-72 (Family)]].

-* [[T-72B]], [[T-72B (1989)]] - These Soviet MBTs have their armour increased on the frontal hull and with the 1989 variant featuring CONTACT-5 ERA, it will be impossible to kill them from the front except for a few weak spots. It's best to aim for the lower front plate and the driver port.

It's best to aim for the lower front plate and the driver port, but more preferably the side since that's where the autoloader, and ammo, are so that you can kill them with a instant kill.
 * [[Challenger Mk.2]]/[[Challenger Mk.3]] - The turret of these British tanks will be nearly impossible to penetrate at range, due to how the composite plates are angled. The lower hull can be penetrated though, especially around the driver port or the lower front plate.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was an upgraded version of the Strv 102R, with improved suspension for the tracks, thermal cameras, and new driver hatch. The Strv 105 was decided in the 1990s to complement FVM's procurement of acquiring new tanks for the Swedish armed forces. However, only one prototype was ever built, and the type never entered service.

The Strv 105 was decided in the 1990s to complement FVM's procurement of acquiring new tanks for the Swedish armed forces. However, only one prototype was ever built, and the type never entered service due to Sweden acquiring [[Strv 121]] and the vehicle platform became obsolete.
 Introduced in [[Update "Wind of Change"]], the Strv 105 is a clear upgrade over the [[Strv 104]] with a similar playstyle. The {{PAGENAME}} comes with thermals, better APFSDS rounds and slight better performance in mobility which is needed due to the {{PAGENAME}} facing more fearsome opponents compared to [[Strv 104]]. The {{PAGENAME}} is a vehicle that players should take great precaution in: being a Centurion, it's not the fastest or most manoeuvrable vehicle and can face some very dangerous opponents that can outperform it very heavily in terms of speed, manoeuvrability, and firepower. This makes the {{PAGENAME}} a better vehicle to support teammates or shoot from a distance where its ERA can protect it better against HEAT-FS and HESH rounds, though it is still very vulnerable to APFSDS rounds. However, it is not by any means a useless vehicle, facing similar opponents like the [[Sho't Kal Dalet]], and can still put up a fight against any opponent with its Slpprj m/90C round giving it a similar penetration performance to DM23.
