Despite problems with penetration of the countermeasures, HESH can be used to great effect against almost any possible target, provided shots are placed well - ideally on angled side armour, while ensuring the armour isn't angled enough to bounce and isn't protected by an additional layer. HESH has slower fuse than HE and HEAT and won't detonate on most foliage, but it cannot penetrate more than one layer of armour, so it can be blocked by side skirts and, sometimes, even by chassis or machine guns. The L4A1 is restricted to the use of HESH only, due to the weapon originally being envisaged as an anti-emplacement howitzer. The FV4005 Stage II sports one of the largest cannons available in War Thunder Ground Forces, the 183 mm QF L4A1, with the second longest single-shell base reload time of any vehicle, at 38.9 seconds. The rear has a steel rack providing an additional 15 mm of protection.Spaced armour plates are placed on the side of the Centurion chassis, giving an additional 6 mm of side armour.Tracks and suspension wheels are both 20 mm thick. ![]() ![]() Regardless, an FV4005 player should not count on surviving anything bar the lightest of machine gun fire. The only redeeming trait in regards to survivability is that the crew may survive some side-on attacks due to the sheer size of the gun breech. 50 calibre machine guns, and any large calibre explosives can and will inflict overpressure damage on them, which is always fatal. Due to this and the vehicle's crew being largely based in the turret, the FV4005 is extremely vulnerable to even. The FV4005 Stage II has essentially negligible armour, due to the gigantic turret providing only 14 mm of protection from any given angle.
