The British tank lineups suffer from the curse of being designed, mostly, in the real world by engineers aware of the real world production limitations of their industry, and that the tank would need to be crewed by actual soldiers who have actual human bodies. There’s also the fantasy shell performance where APHE is a perfect and godly round and solid shot/APDS can barely kill a single crewman post-pen.

Eh, while I’m not saying that Soviet Heavies don’t suck (I’ve lost count of how many have been on the receiving end of my shots) the Conker having a Mantlet that you can somehow troll with 122mm APHE is just a bit garbage.

It’s definitely bugged, I remember shooting it there and only the driver dying somehow. Did anyone report it?

never did in the end, iirc it was some spurious Gaijinista report that decreed that the Conker mantlet was wrong, and tbh i’ve had it happen so rarely (off the top of my head, that one instance) I just never bothered.
At least the gun is decent, less shatter BS I guess…Imo conqueror should receive an ammo buff to make the performance similar to the 105 mm of leopard 1 at 8.0, Tiran 4s etc, I wouldn’t be op imo because of the long reload
Opinions I guess, and while I respect yours I do not agree with it.
I’ve played the Conqueror in 84 matches (Spaded), 55% winrate (46 wins), sitting on 104 tanks destroyed and 68 deaths. The gun is decent, the ammo itself isn’t great in terms of post damage since its an APDS shell but there’s almost no tanks in the Conqueror BR that you cannot pen from front so you’re quite strong given your weaponry, you can even one shot most stuff, the reload is obviously terrible therefore why I said it shouldn’t be played in frontline or to brawl. Its obviously no Leopard or Tiran 4 but then again the Conqueror is sitting at 7.7 not 8.0 which makes it the “sweet spot” not getting uptiered versus 9.0 tanks (TAM, Leopard A1A1, etc).
