===Blue Planet: War in Heaven Tech Description===
 
The Kentauroi is a heavily armed, high-performance interception and strike platform. At full afterburn, the Kentauroi can outrun almost any other fighter class in the field, and is unrivalled in its ability to perform surgical strike missions against well-defended targets. Despite exceptional theoretical performance, the design suffers from occasional lock-up in its weapon systems. The Kentauroi has seen deployment primarily in Second and Third Fleet, where it is exceptionally popular but unforgiving to new pilots.

==Veteran Comments==
 
{{Comment|An incredible dogfighter, the Kentauroi is second to none in its ability to tear other fighters to pieces. Four [[Rapier]]s will tear anything in the sky to pieces in short order, and shields and armor are surprisingly good. A huge improvement over the Uhlan.
 
 
 
 
 
With Scalpels in the second gun bank and Paveways in the primary missile bank, the Kentauroi is good for disarming and disabling GTA warships. Using the remaining banks for the primary weapon and missiles of your choosing, you should be able to neutralize the armament of enemy warships and destroy fighters with equal efficacy. Plus, just look at those afterburner capabilities! It excels in it's duties as an interceptor, make no mistake.
 
 
 
It also has some really neat model features you're (sadly) unlikely to notice in game, like the variable-geometry tailfins that open up when afterburning. No real effect, it just looks cool.
 
 
 
Oh, and it is '''not''' lying about that fire control system lock-up, which occurs as a scripted event in certain missions. Stay sharp.}}
