The Olifant Mk1B is a variant tank of the Olifant Mk1 that is available to South Africa and appears in Wargame Red Dragon.

History[]

Olifant Mk1B was a complete rebuild of the Centurion MBT with the capability to fight T-55, T-62, and T-72A MBTs due to Soviet Union importing tanks to Angola. The powerplant was improved since the tank is heavier by three tons with the upgrades. The tank's armor was given several passive composite armor packages over the frontal glacis plate and turret along with smoke grenades moved to the rear of the turret along with the capability to make smoke by injecting fuel into the engine exhaust. Upgrades to fight crew fatigue were given which include fume extractor fans, comfortable seats, two drinking water tanks along with the capability to drive by yoke. The fire support system upgraded to a computerized fire control system.

44 Mk1B were made with first production in 1991.

These were used by Tank Wing of School of Armour and the reserve regiments Pretoria Regiment, Natal Mounted Rifles and President Steyn.
