Tanks who rely on HEAT ammunition are at a particular disadvantage when fighting a well-positioned Conqueror. The armor upgrade on the Conqueror includes a layer of spaced armor on the cheeks making it nigh impenetrable from the front a far cry from previous incarnations where high-penetration guns can punch through the cheeks with little difficulty. The turret armor is solid and reliable gone are the pre-HD days when the Conqueror's turret could be just as easily be penetrated as its hull. At top tier it is more than capable of leading the push if it needs to, but assuming a supporting role for a more heavily armored teammate and moving with a wave will allow you to put down the high DPM whilst protecting your weak hull. The ammo-rack and the loader are crucial to the Conqueror's survival losing one or both eliminates this tank's dreaded DPM. Use the mobility and high rate of fire to deal damage quickly and get out of harm's way. While not particularly fast, it is agile enough with the top engine. Even with some angling it is unlikely to bounce many shots unless they hit the upper front plate. While the Conqueror may have a phenomenal gun, the hull it is mounted on is mediocre at best. Indeed the sheer reliability of its 120mm gun makes the Conqueror one of the most dangerous Tier 9 heavy tanks in the game. Now it fires just slightly slower than the M103, but with that said it still retains the reliability and accuracy it is dreaded for. Before the armor upgrade the Conqueror's L1A1 used to fire almost a full second faster than the M103's gun. The top L1A1 gun does a respectable amount of damage and the high rate of fire means that you will often get a second shot in before your enemy has a chance to reload. The Conqueror is a fearsome tank once fully upgraded and is a significant improvement over its predecessor. Frequent ammo rack damage and driver injury from shots to the lower frontal plate.Given the rate of fire, alpha damage per shot is low.Excellent gun handling, accuracy, aim time and penetration.In addition, tracks and other spaced armor easily block the HESH shells. Note that HESH, like all HE shells, does not have any normalization, which makes it difficult to penetrate sloped surfaces. The most surprising aspect of this tank is the introduction to HESH shells on its top gun, a nasty surprise for poorly armored tanks such as Lights, a few TDs, and some Medium tanks. However that would appear to simply be the price one has to pay for playing one of the best and most surely damaging support tanks in the game. Like Centurions, it is also highly prone to ammo rack damage. But everything else is just just like the Hull of the Caernarvon, including the very weak lower plate. The hull is exactly like the hull of the Caernarvon except that the upper plate was buffed from 130mm to 152.4mm, which significantly helps with surviving longer and blocking shots with the hull. A total of 185 vehicles were mass-produced from 1955 through 1959.Ī potent continuation of the support tank class of heavy British tanks, the Conqueror plays like an overcharged version of the Caernarvon, featuring a significant jump in firing speed and some small improvements to general characteristics. The Conqueror is a British tier 9 heavy tank.ĭeveloped from 1949 through 1952, this tank was intended to confront new Soviet heavy tanks.
