ザ FV 214コンカラー●「戦車、重機関銃1号、120mm砲、征服者」とも呼ばれ、戦後のイギリスの重戦車でした。これは、ソ連のジョセフ・スターリンIS-3重戦車への応答として開発されました。その120ミリメートルの銃は、そのピア、センチュリオンによって運ばれた20ポンド(83.4ミリメートル)銃よりも大きかった。征服者の役割は、センチュリオンのための長距離対戦車サポートを提供することであった。征服者はドイツの連隊ごとに9時に発行され、通常は3つの戦車部隊にグループ化されました。イギリス陸軍では、征服者とセンチュリオンの両方がチーフタンに置き換えられました。

The **FV 214 Conqueror**, also officially known as the “Tank, Heavy No. 1, 120 mm Gun, Conqueror,” was a British heavy tank of the post-World War II era. It represented Britain’s ultimate response to the threat posed by heavily armored Soviet tanks, such as the **IS-3** and later designs, during the early Cold War.
Primary Role and Development
The Conqueror was conceived not as a standard main battle tank, but specifically as a **long-range anti-tank support** vehicle. Its purpose was to engage and destroy enemy armor at distances superior to the capabilities of the contemporaneous Centurion tank. It served exclusively with British Army regiments stationed in West Germany between **1955 and 1966**, deployed in small groups (typically nine per regiment) alongside the Centurions.
主な機能
1. Massive Main Armament
- **Gun:** The tank’s core strength was its powerful **L1 120 mm rifled gun**, a caliber significantly larger than the Centurion’s 20-pounder (83.4 mm) gun.
- **Ammunition:** It fired two-piece ammunition (separate projectile and charge in a brass cartridge), which contributed to a low shell capacity of only **35 rounds**. The primary anti-tank rounds were Armor-Piercing Discarding Sabot (**APDS**) and High Explosive Squash Head (**HESH**).
2. Heavy Armor Protection
The Conqueror was the largest and heaviest tank used by the British Army at the time of its introduction, with a combat mass of approximately **64 tonnes** (63 long tons). It featured very heavy armor, particularly on the frontal arc, with the massive turret being especially well-protected to face high-velocity Soviet shells.
3. Advanced Fire Control
A notable feature was the **independently rotating commander’s cupola**. This advanced system allowed the commander to:
- Search for targets and determine the range using a coincidence rangefinder while the gunner was engaging a previous target.
- Mechanically lay the gunner onto the new target, allowing for a quicker transition between engagements.
