Conqueror level 9 pros and cons. British heavy tank Conqueror

16-10-2017, 11:51

Hello, tankers and welcome to the site! Friends, today in the guide we will talk about a completely new heavy tank of the tenth level, which appeared in WoT with the release of update 0.9.20.1. Here is a guide to the British heavy tank of the tenth level Super Conqueror.

This tank is a replacement in the game and was introduced with update 0.9.20.1. The FV215b was transferred to the category of promotional vehicles and removed from the UK development branch.

TTX Super Conqueror

We will begin our acquaintance with this English gentleman with the fact that he has an excellent safety margin, even by TT 10 standards, as well as an excellent basic viewing range of 400 meters.

Now let's take a look at the armor characteristics of the Super Conqueror; the difference with its predecessor, which it replaced, lies in several things. Namely, in the layout, in the Super Conqueror it is located in the front part of the body. Our tank also has a stronger turret, which is also equipped with screens and these screens are also located on the hull, which will give good additional protection to this heavy tank.

The sides of the hull have exactly the same armor as that of level 9().

Super Conqueror gun

As you may have noticed, our Briton, even in general performance characteristics, has many strengths, but his main pride is his excellent weapons, now you will see for yourself.

So, have Super Conqueror gun Compared to its classmates, it does not stand out for its high alpha strike, but we have an excellent rate of fire, due to which we are able to inflict about 2870 units of damage per minute, this is one of the highest indicators among the TT-10.

To armor penetration of guns Super Conqueror in WoT, also there are no complaints. To confront the majority of opponents and target vulnerable areas, even in the frontal armor of top-heavy armor, penetration of armor-piercing shells is enough. And if you have any difficulties, it is enough to load excellent sub-caliber shells, which are worth carrying with you in at least 10 pieces. Another thing worth noting is the increase in BC on the Super Conqueror compared to the FV215b. 40 shells versus 35 - this can reduce the number of battles in random, when the battle was lost due to empty ammunition.

Accuracy Super Conqueror tank also has excellent properties and, above all, this is expressed in a very compact dispersion circle and better stabilization indicators. But the mixing of our Briton has become slightly worse than that of the FV215b and is 2 seconds, versus 1.7 seconds.

It is also worth noting that our Briton has very good UVL, they are as much as -10 degrees. These are truly good numbers that will allow us to play with a very high degree of comfort on different terrain folds.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Super Conqueror

So we looked at the main tactical specifications top British heavy tank, we talked about its armament and it is already clear that the number of pros clearly outweighs the cons. But for clarity, we will still highlight the main strengths and weaknesses Super Conqueror in WoT.
Pros:
Excellent basic overview;
Strong armor of the turret forehead;
Decent mobility;
High DPM among classmates;
Excellent accuracy among TT-10;
High penetration rates.

Minuses:
Very vulnerable NLD;
Low one-time damage;
Still not tall size BC for such a DPM.

Equipment for Super Conqueror

This tank in World of Tanks has very a large number of strengths and all of them are very, very significant. For this reason, setting additional modules we will only improve the advantages that already exist, that is, by Super tank Conqueror equipment It's better to put the following:
1. – with this module, our already good DPM will turn into an excellent one, which will allow us to shoot enemies more effectively.
2. – it doesn’t hurt to slightly adjust the accuracy of the gun so that even on the move you can easily hit the target.
3. – will give a comprehensive boost to characteristics, that is, it will make all our advantages even stronger.

Super Conqueror Crew Training

We continue to work on improving the strengths of the tank, and at the same time we draw attention to the fact that by studying skills you can increase survivability, General characteristics machines and several other extremely important parameters. Thus, for Super Conqueror perks should be downloaded in the following order:
Commander - , , , .
Gunner – , , , .

Equipment for Super Conqueror

Buying consumables is often a standard matter, in which, if the supply of silver is not large enough, you can compromise and put , , . However, such a set will not allow you to get out of really difficult troubles and therefore it is better to carry it on FV215b equipment from , , . In addition, this tank is worth buying, since the classic layout saves us from a number of fire-hazardous situations in the game.

Tactics for playing Super Conqueror

To say that we have a strong machine in our hands is the same as saying nothing. The classic layout, like, say, the one, makes life very easy for us, because we have a tank with the classic gameplay of a mobile heavy tank.

The British turned out very universal machine, since it can adapt to almost any combat situation in WoT. Of course, at the beginning of the battle heavy tank Super Conqueror must go to hot spots, that is, to the first line of conflict, in order to restrain the enemy with his armor and punish every enemy, using his powerful weapons.

For effective tanking on Super Conqueror in World of Tanks, you must position yourself so that artillery cannot attack you and enemies cannot target the vulnerable NLD. What is most important is that our TT feels comfortable not only on city maps, but also on open spaces, thanks to excellent UVN and a strong shielded tower.

Bottom line

We get a very interesting replacement for the top in British branch all the same with a large set of advantages and, now, the classic gameplay of a moving TT.

It’s also worth saying that our versatility lies not only in strong armor and a comfortable gun, Super Conqueror tank has high enough mobility to change attack directions and flanks, return to base defense and resist mobile equipment that is trying to “carousel” you. The main thing is to always try to use the maximum advantages of the tank, keep an eye on the mini-map and try to sensibly assess your capabilities.

Super Conqueror is a British tier ten heavy that many people liked. A decent machine that can adapt to your playing style and become a great competitor to everyone else.

Let's start our review with the viewing radius of this heavyweight. It is equal to 400 meters here. A very comfortable indicator for combat.

The tank weighs from 77 to 80 tons, and its engine power is determined by 950 horsepower. In total, we obtain a specific power equal to 12.34 hp/t.

These indicators also influence maximum speed, which is not bad here for a TT - 34.3 km/s front and 12 km/h rear.

The rotation speed is 26 degrees/s, the turret rotation speed is 32 degrees/s.

Booking Super Conqueror

This machine has a very good stock strength - 2,400 units.

The tank has become more fortified compared to its predecessors. The turret and hull are equipped with screens that make the tank less vulnerable to enemy attacks.

The sides of the hull have armor similar to that installed on tanks at a lower level.

gun

We see that in front of us is very strong tank, capable of effective play thanks to its armor. Will his weapons please us?

Let's look at it from the very beginning. The one-time damage of the TT does not stand out; here it is equal to 400/400/515 units.

However, the rate of fire makes up for the lack of alpha strike. It is precisely because of the rate of fire that the tank takes the lead among its classmates in terms of damage per minute - 2,758 units/min.

Armor penetration is also not inferior to other characteristics - 259/326/120 mm. With such indicators, the tank will be able to target and hit heavy tanks even in the frontal part of the hull, not to mention the sides, for example. However, situations may still arise when additional assistance is needed. We recommend carrying about ten sabot rounds, which become very useful in critical situations.

This tank's accuracy results are excellent. It has a record 2 seconds of convergence and 0.33 meters of dispersion per 100 m.

The vertical aiming angles are very comfortable. The gun can bend down 10 degrees. This will allow you to play comfortably on different terrain.

Advantages and disadvantages

Having talked about weapons, armor and the main characteristics of the tank, let's begin systematization. For clarity, we will present all the strengths and weaknesses using a system of points.

Pros:

viewing radius;
excellent turret front armor;
mobility;
high DPM;
excellent accuracy.

Minuses:

insufficient NLD;
weak one-time damage;
small BC size for such a DPM.

In order to improve as effectively as possible strengths machines, we will install the necessary equipment for this. We offer this option:

The rammer will increase the DPM indicator;
The vertical aiming stabilizer will provide even greater accuracy of the gun for more confident shooting while moving;
Improved ventilation will increase all crew skills.

Crew training

Crew training is usually taken seriously, because working on mistakes takes time. Therefore, we propose the following sequence for leveling up your crew:

Commander – “The Sixth Sense”, “Repair”, “ The Brotherhood of War", "Disguise";
Gunner – “Repair”, “Smooth rotation of the tower”, “Combat brotherhood”, “Disguise”;
Driver mechanic– “Repair”, “Smooth progress”, “Combat brotherhood”, “Disguise”;
Loader (radio operator)– “Repair”, “Non-contact” ammunition rack”, “Combat brotherhood”, “Disguise”.

Equipment

Choosing equipment is always easier. You can drive with a standard set of:

small first aid kit;
small repair kit;
hand fire extinguisher.

However, if there is no shortage of silver, we choose the premium set, which includes:

large first aid kit;
large repair kit;
pudding with tea (you can take an automatic fire extinguisher, but this technique rarely burns).

How to play Super Conqueror

What we have before us is definitely a very strong machine that can adapt to any playing style and combat situation.

As a rule, at the beginning of a battle, the vehicle takes close range to hold off the enemy with its armor and, using powerful weapons, penetrate tanks.

The good news is that not only does the tank adapt to any play style you choose, but it also handles confidently on any map. Be it the city or open spaces.

Update 9.20 will be truly significant for World of Tanks. The excitement is caused by the fact that the developers are actively rebalancing the equipment, transferring some vehicles to the promotional category, replacing them with new tanks of a similar level. The changes will affect several nations. In particular, the FV215B, which is at level 10, will disappear from the development branch of British heavy tanks.

As a replacement, players will receive Super Conqueror, currently being tested on the game's test server. The replacement had been planned for a long time: Murazor spoke about it back in 2016. It should be noted that the developers are planning several more similar replacements in the next 1.5 years.

So, Super Conqueror is a heavy British tank of the 10th level with amazing story and unique combat characteristics. The project was developed back in 1949 to counter tank power Soviet army. Serial production was launched in 1955 and in 4 years 185 units of equipment were put into service. Now let's get acquainted with the capabilities of the new tank.

Super Conqueror performance characteristics

As usual, let's start with the survival parameters of vehicles on random fields. The new "ten" of Britain is somewhat inferior in terms of durability points to its predecessor: 2,350 units versus 2,500 for the FV215B. The visibility has also been cut a little: up to 400 meters in the basic configuration. However, the tank remains very far-sighted; in addition, this parameter improved by installation additional equipment and pumping up the crew. By the way, 4 tankers are located under the heavy armor.

The travel speed will be 34 km/h, which indicates a good ratio of tank weight to engine power. The chassis rotates at a speed of 26 degrees per second. In principle, judging by these characteristics, the “British” looks quite maneuverable, especially compared to some of its classmates.

Let's move on to weapons. The Super Conqueror is equipped with a 120mm gun with good penetration and rate of fire. An armor-piercing projectile will “pierce” 259 millimeters of armor; when loaded with gold, the armor penetration rate increases to 326 mm. In this regard, the weapon does not cause any complaints and allows you to feel confident in direct confrontation with heavies of the 10th level.

Alfastrike looks average and amounts to 400 damage. DPM also cannot be considered one of the best indicators at the level: the reload speed of 9.3 seconds will allow you to deal a little more than 2,000 damage per minute. A fairly moderate spread per 100 meters and an acceptable convergence speed look good.

Full booking values are shown in the image below:

Equipment on Super Conqueror

Any technique in the game, no matter how ideal its technical characteristics may seem, needs improvement. For this purpose, a selection of additional modules installed on tanks is offered. Of course, there are " gentlemen's sets» for each class of machines, aimed at increasing capabilities and leveling out disadvantages. Super Conqueror is a tier 10 heavy tank, so we recommend the following equipment set:

Rammer - PDM clearly needs improvement.
Stabilization – improving the accuracy of the gun.
Ventilation – we get a comprehensive bonus to all characteristics.

Perks for the crew on Super Conqueror

Tanker training also helps improve combat characteristics tank. In the case of SUPER CONQUEROR, it is recommended to study the crew skills in the following sequence:

Don't forget about such an important detail as combat consumables. Equipment helps you survive in the most hopeless situations and maintain the strength of your vehicle. The game does not offer variety or a rich assortment, so we download the standard set:

Fire extinguisher.
First aid kit.
Repair kit.

If finances allow, standard options can be replaced with gold counterparts. Note that changing the fire extinguishing agent to pudding with tea in order to improve the characteristics is fraught with consequences: the “British” ones burn well.

Booking Super Conqueror

This is a very important component of the characteristics of heavy tanks. In this regard, SUPER CONQUEROR looks very extraordinary. The VLD is protected by a 152-mm armor plate located at a rational angle. As a result, the thickness of the reduced armor is about 300 mm, which significantly increases the chances of a ricochet and non-penetration. However, the lower frontal part of the tank is protected by only 114 mm, so this part of the formidable “British” will be penetrated by all and sundry. The sides look vulnerable: only 76 millimeters, which will not be a serious obstacle if hit at a right angle. Let’s add that the sides are protected by screens, so the heavy weight can very effectively pump out damage in a diamond pattern.

Things are going very well with the turret armor. In the frontal view, you can find 279 millimeters of armor, complemented by an impressive gun mantlet. The ricochet “cheeks” of the turret and the well-armored commander’s cupola look interesting. However, there is a serious fly in the ointment in this ointment: the base of the tower is the most vulnerable spot which must be protected in all situations.

How to play Super Conqueror

The rear position of the turret definitely leaves some imprint on the gameplay, however, SUPER CONQUEROR is a truly formidable machine that, in the right hands, can cause a lot of problems for the enemy.

So, we are dealing with a heavy tank, which is designed to fight on the first line and push through directions. For natural reasons, Super Conqueror feels confident on city maps, where you can hide a vulnerable NLD and competently drive around corners in a diamond pattern. In open locations the situation looks a little worse: the location of the tower does not allow you to play comfortably due to the terrain, and you will receive painful hits from artillery.

In general, the heavy can confidently clinch the enemy, taking advantage of the tower's armor. Don't forget about the relatively good driving performance. Super Conqueror may well return to defend the base and change the direction of attack in a timely manner. Therefore, do not forget to carefully monitor the situation on the mini-map and react in time to changes in the situation.

So, in light of the release of patch 9.9 for World Of Tanks, we’ll talk about the British “conqueror”, who is conveniently located at level 9 of the heavy tank level. Namely Conqueror, a guide on which we will write further.

As at level 8, we have a weakly armored corps that can be penetrated by almost all enemies. But the turret and gun changed dramatically. You can play it as a support tank, because we can only tank with the turret, and only if we don’t let the surveillance devices aim.

Let's talk in more detail about the reservation - in general there is none :) Yes, if you look at the numbers, it turns out to be a completely dull machine, but in the game, of course, everything is not like that. The top armor plate is only 130 mm thick, and this is the 9th level of heavy British tanks! Without a doubt, the angle of inclination is decent, and sometimes gives ricochets, but only if the FBR is favorable. Of course, when playing WOT on a console in the future, don’t expect to tank against the British either. But if you need an Xbox repair, then always follow this link, the guys there are smart, they saved my console in an instant!

The lower armor plate is 76 mm thick and has virtually no slope, which undoubtedly makes it possible to penetrate Conqueror without problems in NLD with guaranteed damage. And with the thickness of the side armor being 51 mm, it won’t be possible to tank, no matter how you look at it.

Conqueror penetration zones

The Conqueror Tower gives you the opportunity to play WoT with pleasure. After all, 152 mm in the forehead and 89 mm on the sides, with rational angles of inclination - and we get a ricochet turret. Yes, getting Conqueror into the tower in a duel is very difficult. Especially if the tank does not stand still, but constantly moves, preventing observation devices from being aimed.

It seemed to me that the Conqueror lacks dynamics and maneuverability. Although the maximum speed of 34 km per hour is pleasing, the turning speed of the chassis is only 26 degrees, which is certainly not enough. But still, it will be possible to drive them away under enemy fire at such a speed; the Conqueror is clearly not a Maus.

Hello everyone and welcome to the site! Today we’ll talk about a vehicle that every player feels genuine joy after upgrading to, a heavy British tank of the ninth level - this is the Conqueror guide.

Indeed, this unit is the first truly strong, comfortable and simply good tank in this development branch. All these Chercheli, Black Prince, even Caernarvon are much inferior to the ninth level, and now you will see this.

TTX Conqueror

It’s worth starting with the fact that we have a good safety margin for our level and a good basic visibility of 400 meters, which can easily be raised to the required values.

Regarding the booking characteristics of Conqueror, everything is very good. We have very strong tower, which, when placed head-on, is capable of dealing a ton of damage. The hull armor is not so strong, but even here ricochets often fly from the VLD if you become a small diamond. It is better to always hide the NLD and do not expose the side, even at an angle it breaks through from powerful guns.

If our reservation is decent, then with mobility not everything is as good as we would like. No, the Conqueror tank has a good ratio of horsepower per ton of weight, but the weak maximum speed and maneuverability cause a lot of inconvenience, we cannot accelerate much or turn around quickly.

gun

Now let's look at the strongest and most pleasant side of this unit - its weapons. The fact is that the gun on the Conqueror is from a level ten vehicle, which means that we finally have a good alpha strike and almost always have enough armor penetration.

You can also note a good rate of fire, which together with the characteristics stated above allows you to inflict about 2285 units of damage per minute, and taking into account the modules and crew perks, this figure can be accelerated to almost 2800.

And the best part is why this Briton is valuable - Conqueror tank World of Tanks has the best accuracy among all heavy weapons at the level. Our dispersion circle is always very small, the stabilization is excellent and the aiming speed is excellent, which allows you to shoot very accurately right away and not waste time on aiming after stopping.

Otherwise, the Conqueror WoT's gun moves down 7 degrees, which is quite good, and the turret rotates at an acceptable speed. There are absolutely no complaints about the gun, this is our main advantage.

Advantages and disadvantages

So, we looked at the general characteristics of the tank, the parameters of its wonderful gun, and everything seems to be clear here, the Briton is very good, but it’s still worth highlighting the strongest and weakest aspects of the vehicle to make it easier for you to navigate.

Pros:
Good alphastrike;
Excellent armor penetration;
High damage per minute;
Excellent accuracy and stabilization;
Decent armor (especially turrets);
Good review.

Minuses:
Poor mobility and maneuverability;
The hull armor is rather weak.

Equipment for Conqueror

Installing modules on this heavy tank is very simple; all you have to do is improve its already strong points to make playing even more comfortable. Thus, the following equipment is selected for Conqueror:
1. – everything is simple and clear, with this module we will be able to cause even more damage.
2. – we have a very accurate gun with excellent stabilization and this choice will maximize these indicators.
3. – raise the visibility to the required value (especially important if the crew is not pumped up).

There is an excellent alternative to the last point -. This option gives a boost to damage per minute, visibility and others no less important characteristics, so in some situations such a choice is in some ways even better than optics.

Crew training

In order to correctly distribute and develop the skills of the crew on this strand, there is also no need to reinvent the wheel, since our actions can even be called standard. Based on this, perks are collected on Conqueror as follows:
Commander - , , , .
Gunner – , , , .
Driver mechanic - , , , .
Loader (radio operator) – , , , .

Equipment for Conqueror

As is usually the case, consumables greatly influence the situation in battle, so their choice is no less important. If you don’t have extra silver and are trying to save, then optimal solution will take on Conqueror equipment in the form of , and . In other cases, a more reliable option is , , , where the fire extinguisher can be replaced with, if desired.

Tactics for playing Conqueror

The British heavyweight Conqueror is a very comfortable and strong car, weaknesses which are only limited opportunities mobility and rather vulnerable hull armor. Otherwise, we have a lot of advantages and we need to try to use them all.

Thus, on Conqueror, combat tactics are very diverse; on the one hand, we feel good on the second line. By tanking with a turret and using your precision weapon with a good alpha strike and damage per minute, you can easily play off the terrain. In such cases, all you need to do is roll out, fire a shot and drive back again, just don’t forget about the enemy artillery.

On the first line, the Conqueror WoT heavy tank is also capable of a lot, but here it is very important to constantly dance, slightly turn the body and stand with your forehead towards the enemy, hiding your NLD. At the same time, it is important to take advantage of your superior accuracy, shoot on the move, deceive the enemy for a shot, but under no circumstances let him get on board. Due to the Conqueror's poor mobility, the tank is easy to spin, in such cases it is better to have several allies nearby.

To summarize, I would like to add that we have a creative machine in our hands, and in order to play it as efficiently as possible, we must learn to analyze the situation in battle and take the correct position. If you stand on Conqueror World of Tanks so that only your tower is visible and artillery cannot attack you, making simple movements back and forth, you can calmly play as alpha and realize your DPM.
