Its more or less for the balance. You do know that no other unit could hold up to a Tiger or Panther in the field when it comes to armor. Achiles ? Archer ? Firefly ? Letz be serious here. The gun is powerfull but that was it. once hit from the Tiger or Panther and they are usualy out of action. The centurion is here a great unit. Same for the Comet. Though the centurion is maybe a bit to cheap for a unit that has no trouble to beat panthers and tigers.

One hit is usually all it takes for any tank, so I don't know what you're getting at there.
It's implications of realism, and gameplay balance issues that wash out the entire need of even giving a game realistic features. If you're not going to stand by implementing realistic features, just to wash them out with the excuse of 'Balance', and 'Gameplay' then don't bother implementing them in the first place. This is the biggest gripe I have with this game, it's realistic features is what makes it different and far more complex than a game of Company of Heroes, but they wash it out in extremely dumbfounded ways; progressively turning it into a game of Company of Heroes again.
The Centurion is a dumb idea, for all the matter if the Centurion/Black Prince/IS-3/T29 is in the game, then the Germans should get Panzer Löwe's, and the Maus for the same reason of your 'Balance', and 'Gameplay'. It doesn't make sense, and I was very pleased to see the Turtle, and the American T29 gone in the factions for the release of the open beta. At the current state of the open beta if they don't fix it, it's just going to be vanilla MoW with the same tank stacking every game, which the devs so pleasently represent that they're doing away with. And with the Centurion being only 1400-1500 iirc(?), it's incredibly easy.
