Conqueror Mk II build – Part 1:Introduction

The vehicle

“The FV 214 Conqueror … was a British heavy tank of the post-World War II era. It was developed as a response to the Soviet IS-3 heavy tank. The Conqueror’s main armament, an L1 120 mm gun, was larger than the 20-pounder (83.4 mm) gun carried by its peer, the Centurion. The Conqueror’s role was to provide long range anti-tank support for the Centurion. Nine Conquerors were issued for each regiment in Germany, usually grouped in three tank troops… It lost much tactical relevance once the Centurion was upgraded to an L7 105 mm gun.” [1]
