I didn't think the Conqueror ever saw service. I remember reading about it having an experimental 120mm gun which used a case.

'conqueror'??? more like 'conquered!'

looking inside that turret and the numerous AP rounds that have penetrated, you can see that just 'one' round would create havoc inside and at the very least severely mangle the crew...........

Damn I'm glad I never got into Armour !!

those hole are from HEAT warheads, not AP

AP/HEAT/HESH..................don't care..............don' wanna be anywhere near it when one goes OFF !!

Definately a Conqueror, Used in hesvy tank troops by centurion equiped regiments. Designed to combat the Warsaw pact heavy IS2 (JSII) tanks.
usede a seperate loading 120mm with a case for the propellant.
