In 1949 it was decided to bring the armament up to 120 mm. One tank type was to be the heavy FV 201 of 55 tonnes, armed with an 83.4 mm gun also known as 20 pounder.

The 200 series was to have used a common hull for all uses (self-propelled artillery, armoured personnel carrier, different varieties of tank, etc.). After the war the project was relocated to that of the 'Universal Tank' design of the FV 200 series. The chassis for the new tank was taken from the A45 Infantry Support Tank, started in 1944 shortly after that of the A41 Centurion.

But better known to you and me as the Conqueror. The one particular tank they took note of was the tank designated as the FV214. So he British decided to look with care once again at their tanks. And as in all warfare, the best way to counter a new threat was to invent a bigger threat. The tank however did have its faults but the Western powers still deemed it a serious threat. The tank had a very well sloped soup-bowl like turret,В pre angled pike nose frontal armour and a terrifying gun. The Iosef Stalin 3 or IS-3 heavy tank when it was first unveiled in 1945 around the end of the Second World War, alarmed the Western countries.

That factor was Soviet the Iosef Stalin 3 heavy tank. However one factor made the British think twice about scrapping the FV200 series of tanks. With some reluctance the British were also planning to do away with the FV200 series as well seeing the days of such heavy tanks wereВ numbered compared to the much more versatile Centurion Universal tanks. There was no way the FV100 series would ever fly given the potential costs and impracticality of building such potentially superВ heavy tanks. However once they had this brilliant new doctrine (sarcasm intended) they immediately started tearing it up due to common sense. The FV200 series would be the middle weight class of tanks weighing in atВ 60-80 tonnes around the weight of most heavy tanks in that area,В and at the bottom end of the scale the FV300 seriesВ were going to be a meagre 40-50 tons. The FV100 series was going to be a group of vehicles in the 80-100 ton range most likely to be super heavy tanks.

They decided upon 3 proposed classes of vehicles. With the conclusion of the Second World War, the British Army decided it was time to reorganize their obsolete doctrine and plan for the uncertain years of the Cold War to come. Down below is an image of that British Beast of a Tank!Дuring much of World War 2, the British Doctrine for armoured vehicles were divided into 2 classes of tanks: Infantry tanks slow but heavily armoured for troop support and cruiser tanks, which were rather poorly armoured but agile and fast to exploit breakthroughs. Hello everyone! EdAWACSdenyY here! and today I'm going to be talking to you about the Conqueror! This is the Tier 9 British Heavy Tank.
