Unlike the M103's selection of HEAT or AP, the Conqueror instead utilises HESH and APDS ammunition, and again unlike the M103, mounts a two-plane stabiliser. The 120 mm L1A2 is a powerful gun, derived from the M58 mounted on the M103 heavy tank. The front of the turret roof has an additional armour plate of 31 mm in thickness.Front of turret vary in armour thickness, from 152 mm to 313 mm, but it is all very sloped due to turret design.

Suspension wheels and bogies are 20 mm thick while tracks are 30 mm thick.

The Conqueror has a researchable add-on armour package which improves the vehicle's survivability to HEAT rounds and by a small amount to kinetic rounds. Fortunately, most tanks which are capable of this and are going out of their way to use HESH instead of HEAT are British and can only be your opponent in AB, in RB the likelihood of receiving such hit is greatly reduced. The more realistic scenario, however, is high calibre HESH hitting the ground next to them and setting the tank on fire or outright destroying it. The frontal track guards are also very vulnerable at particular angles and can be exploited even when sides are not exposed to instantly destroy the tank using nearly any gun, like with Churchill Mk VII. Non-HE shells are less likely to ricochet and do significant internal damage like this, but it is still possible to push them into the tank. SPG calibre HE (like 152 mm of Object 268) will definitely destroy the roof armour and ammo rack, resulting in a one-shot, unless only a few shells are being carried (which is highly impractical).

Unlike with similar tank M103 though, for most heavy tanks HE can only penetrate the driver hatch, taking them out, and damage the gun breech on a good hit. Trap shots are possible, it is likely to get shot with a high calibre HE, capable of damaging the tank by hitting the base of the turret and exploding into the driver and/or ammo rack just below it. There is also a weak section directly behind the mantlet at the top of the turret, penetration of which will disable crew or the breech/horizontal turret drive. The turret is not without its weaknesses, however the commander's cupola protrudes quite significantly and APHE or HESH shells may disable internal turret components or crew members. The Conqueror replaces the Caernarvon's Centurion-based turret with a fresh design, providing much better crew spacing and protection. Unfortunately, this hull suffers from similarly weak side and rear armour - and as such angling, the vehicle can prove extremely dangerous if it exposes the side too much.

The Conqueror utilises the same hull as the Caernarvon does, with respectable frontal armour capable of shrugging off rounds from many adversaries. The shown camouflage is known as 'Phalanx', part of the 'Night vision' trophy. It can be targeted by large-calibre HE, APDS and Sabot shells. The area is hit because of Conqueror's poor depression. Despite this, it can be put to good use in close-range engagements.Ī basic weak spot of the Conqueror the gun mantlet. This, combined with its somewhat limited mobility, results in the Conqueror proving to be one of, if not the single most effective sniper and support tank at its rank. The Conqueror deviates from most earlier British designs, favouring firepower and armour. The Conqueror augments this hull with a significantly upgraded turret design housing the L1A2 120mm cannon. The Conqueror was the tank the Caernarvon hull was designed for - the Caernarvon itself only being a stop-gap measure, with most models being upgraded to Conquerors once the type was approved for production. Designed to combat the Soviet IS-3, the Conqueror gives the British line a much-needed vehicle with an emphasis on armour and firepower, with a 120 mm L1A2 cannon capable of defeating all of the Rank V competition it will face.

It was introduced in Update 1.55 'Royal Armour' along with the initial British ground tree. The Tank Heavy Gun Conqueror Mk 2 is a rank V British heavy tank
