	The Conqueror (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A Conqueror stuck in the Schwindebeck mud at Soltau Germany 196?.
		A proposed infantry tank "A45" to parallel the cruiser "A41" was under design at the end of the war, and this was selected to as the basis for "FV201", to be the the 21-pounder gun Universal tank.
		Conqueror had a mechanical ejector through the turret wall, to remove spent cases.

	The Stupid Shall Be Punished: Conqueror vs. Belgrano
		He had been surprised by its change in course and remained uncertain as to which direction his quarry was intending to move for some time as it skirted the exclusion zone, perhaps aware of its vulnerability should it stray inside, and stayed some 18 miles to the south but still moving east.
		Conqueror, however, had been suffering for some time with communication problems as a result of a damaged wireless mast (the crew had thought it might be necessary to withdraw to get the mast changed).
		Conqueror remained at depth until his instructions were clear.

	Conqueror for Amiga - MobyGames
		Conqueror is a polygonal isometric-view tank action/strategy game with an elaborate control system (emulating "real" tank controls on normal joysticks) and two-player possibilities by switching the controls to use one joystick each for gunner and driver.
		The goal of the game is generally to destroy all enemy tanks on the map using a preset squad of tanks of your own.
		The tanks on the player's side that aren't controlled by the player act on AI, but the player-controlled tank can be switched at will via an in-game map.

	Conqueror tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The FV214 Conqueror, also known as "Tank, Heavy Gun No 1 120mm Conqueror" was a British Main Battle Tank of the post-war era, sometimes classified as a heavy tank.
		It was developed as a response to the Soviet Josef Stalin IS-3 heavy tanks and carried a larger 120 mm gun compared to the Centurion's 105 mm.
		However, rather like the WWII Churchill tank, the Conqueror had good terrain handling characteristics and would frequently outrun the lighter (faster) Centurion on the tank ranges.

	REME Conqueror Armoured Recovery Vehicle Mark 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Conqueror gun tank was issued in the late 1950's to armoured regiments as a heavy gun (120 mm) back up to the Centurions (83 mm) to deal with the threat of heavily armoured Russian tanks.
		Conquerors were withdrawn in 1966 when a more powerful gun was later fitted to Centurions but the corresponding disposal of the Conqueror ARVs was regretted since their more powerful winches made recovery tasks much simpler.
		The Mark 1 consisted of the basic tank hull, with a square box-like structure in the place of the turret housing the winch and the recovery crew.

	Conquerormain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		When faced with the heavy Soviet tanks, such as the JS3, it was both unable to penetrate their thick frontal plate and was vulnerable to the JS3s 122mm main gun from the front.
		The 120mm gun was able to penetrate the frontal armour of the JS3, then the heaviest Soviet tank, using either A.P.D.S/T. or H.E.S.H. rounds out to 3000yds and was in turn impervious to the Soviet 122mm gun firing APCBC at all but the closest ranges in the frontal arc.
		The Conqueror was also the first tank in service where the commander could line up the sights on one target while the gunner engaged another.

	Tank destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tank destroyers are used primarily to provide antitank support in combat operations but do not fit all the criteria of a tank.
		The self-propelled guns that were built in the "Tank Destroyer" mould came about through the desire to field the formidable QF 17 pounder anti-tank gun and simultaneous lack of suitable tanks to carry it.
		The closest the British came to developing an armoured Tank Destroyer in the vein of the German Jagdpanzers or Russian ISU series was the Churchill 3 inch Gun Carrier - a Churchill tank chassis with a boxy superstructure in place of the turret.

	Missing Links Conqueror Book Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Unlike many other tanks of the same period, it was never to fire in anger but despite this it served its purpose well enough.
		Conqueror has always been overshadowed by the successful Centurion and later tanks, but now at last its story has been told and told well.
		As an account of a tank, this one is, like its subject would have been had it been called on to fight, hard to beat.

	Which soldier does more Damage - Age of Conan Forums
		In times of need, the Conqueror is able to take the standard and plant it into the ground in a devastating attack.
		So, even if we were to take a hypothetical example of a Guardian needing to tank some ubermob in a more singular fashion...I still think you would find that the fight would involve a lot of minions, generals, and other mobs that would need to be controlled by other warriors.
		Liberator and Conqueror will probably be the highest DPS warriors out of the archetype and over time will probably have about the same DPS.

	M103 heavy tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The M103 heavy tank, at 65 tons, was the heaviest and most heavily armed tank in service in the United States Army and the US Marines during the Cold War.
		It was manufactured at the Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant and the first units were accepted in 1957.
		Like the British Conqueror tank the M103 was designed to counter Soviet heavies such as the Josef Stalin tank or the T-10.

	[No title]
		One very important difference was that the IS-2 was classified as a heavy tank (the same as the Pershing was, though the latter was later qualified as a medium tank).
		I suspect that such a label would affect how the tank would fit into the military structure (force structure, tactics, procurement, etc.) The IS-2 also scared the Americans and the British into building their own heavy tanks (the M103 and the Conqueror) which were relative disasters.
		The tank that was limited to the width of narrow railway tunnels and tracks is the Japanese Type 61 90mm MBT of the early 1960s, which weighed about 34.5 tons and was 9 foot 8 inches wide.

	Conqueror Heavy Tank
		Amongst the preventive measures onboard of the tank were active Infra-red laser jammers, which actively destroyed the seeker heads of IR guided missiles, and smoke generators which produced a particulate smoke that obscured vision and was difficult for laser designators to penetrate.
		It was a HUGE tank, and had trouble with narrow streets and city environs in general, due to its lack of a turreted main gun.
		The Conqueror is equipped with a experimental cooling system, which radiates a significant portion of the tanks produced heat towards the ground.

		Plus Conqueror was a previous generation to the Chieftain.
		There were some trials in the late '50s on a Conqueror heavy tank using a Malkara missile, which has a HESH warhead, although it is a bit bigger than a 120mm shell.
		Basically, it cleared all the applique armour off the front and gave the tank (60 tonnes plus) a good rattling.

	ScienceDaily: Why 'Filling-it-up' Takes More Than 'Tank Capacity'
		For example, some manufacturers estimate that actual fuel tank capacity can vary as much as 3 percent from the tank capacity rating because of design characteristics, the manufacturing process, and even the physics associated with the components that monitor emissions and the electronics of the fuel system and fuel indicators.
		A small area at the bottom of a full tank is considered unusable because the fuel pump cannot reach that level to draw fuel.
		In addition, the tank's rated capacity does not include the "vapor head space," the uppermost portion of the tank compartment, nor does it include the volume of the filler pipe where fuel enters the vehicle.

	So You Want To Field An Armored Company
		The Commissar negates the second of the Stupid Tank Rules, so long as his tank is still alive (and has LOS to some enemy units at the time you inevitably have half your vehicles blown or crippled), and comes cheaper than the Commander for the same solid ballistic skill of 4.
		Don't bother with Heavy Weapons teams -- your tanks should be providing all the heavy weapons fire you need, for less the cost (including the cost of Chimera for that Heavy Weapons team), and you don't have the warm bodies necessary to properly screen the team from enemy fire, anyway.
		As for your two other choices, the Tank Hunter is too hit-or-miss with BS3, and the Conqueror is a pile of crap, especially at BS3.

		Though a less-common variant of the Leman Russ, the Conqueror has proven itself on the battlefield as a solid "breakthrough" tank.
		Its Conqueror Cannon offers a higher rate of fire and more accuracy than the standard battle cannon – a useful asset when leading assaults.
		However, the tank trades armor-piercing punch for this mobile accuracy.

		This involved two Churchill tanks, with folding ramps in place of turrets, which would link together on approach to an obstacle, move into position and provide a pathway for the Conqueror which crossed with one track on each vehicle.
		Station keeping was absolutely vital and a method was devised whereby the two tanks actually locked together as they approached.
		In order to test them two prototype tanks, connected side by side, were driven over rough ground to see what happened.
