I know this is an oldish thread, but I have been chatting to a neighbour who served in the British Army in a tank regiment as a driver.
He drove a few post war tanks including Centurion, Conqueror, and the Chieftan.
In his opinion the Centurion was the best - a lot more reliable than the Chieftan which had lots of issues with its multi fuel engine apparently.
He also said that the tactics that we intended for the use of the Centurion et al were defensive in nature taking hull down fire positions and then fire and manoeuvre to another fire position to make best use of its good gun and protection to counter the numbers advantage expected against the Warsaw pct in the advent of hostilities.
These seem to be similar tactics used by IDF in its engagements in the Golan Heights in particular.
