Comparing: FV4202 vs. T95E6

Experimental tank on the basis of the Centurion medium tank. The vehicle was in development from 1956 through 1959, but never saw mass production. Technical decisions and innovations implemented in the FV4202 became the basis for the FV4201 Chieftain.

Some military analysts deemed the experimental tanks of the T95 series to be undergunned. In order to increase the tank's firepower, a new, heavier turret, designated T96, was to be mounted on the hull. This would allow replacement of the 105-mm gun with a 120-mm gun. However, development proved unsuccessful, and the project was canceled on July 7th, 1960. Only one dummy vehicle was built.
