Available to NATO forces, the Centurion AVRE is a British-made main battle tank of the post-World War II period.
The Centurion AVRE is limited in range, but has huge firepower! Those not killed outright will hear bells ringing for days. Perfect to blast dug-in infantry, for example defending a city block. Besides, since it has to close on its target, it is heavily uparmoured in front.[1]

Retrieved on April 25, 2013. “It is the British Centurion AVRE, heir to the Hobbard's Funnies which traced their lineage back to D-Day, with the Churchill AVRE. It is a Centurion Mk.5 MBT turned in 1963 into a bunker-buster by replacing its gun with a 165mm demo(lition) gun! Limited in range, but huge firepower! Those not killed outright will hear bells ringing for days ... Perfect to blast dug-in infantry, for example defending a city block. Besides, since it has to close on its target, it is heavily uparmoured in front. To answer some often asked questions: Centurions will be well represented in ALB, especially among the Canadian, Swedish & Danish army. The AVRE is the only Centurion variant availbale to the British, but they will also be the only ones to have this very particuliar one.”
