I'm honestly impressed. I only played it for 6 months and that was off and on as it was because it was so toxic. That was just before the tanks started coming out.
So. I think the reason the British lower glacis is so weak is due to the Cold War being in effect when the Conqueror was designed....they expected a dug in, defensive line type warfare with a lot of pre dug positions to go hull down in, hence the lower priority for lower glacis armor. Could be wrong, but that's my thinking.
Also engagement distances were expected to be much further on average than in WT. If most shots are being received from 1km+ the lower glacis is effectively more angled and a smaller target. Not sure how much this factored into the design but notable imo
And hilly terrain. They were all designed with the intent of assist in fighting Russian tanks with air and infantry support in the uneven terrain of Eastern Europe where being able to hull down and HESH the shit outa T72s a few miles out, not rushing a random ass cap point in the middle of an open field.
yes pretty much, that's why tanks like the M1 Abrams, Leopard 2 also have not so great hull armor (also because statistically speaking, the turret is most hit part of the tank)
Just as a heads up to anyone who may have been wondering. The trees not falling over was a bug that was patched recently. Also the bulldog can still fire without the gunner as it has the same hunter-killer abilities as most MBTs.
They're so garbage I'm just pausing my grind on it at the moment. Half the time I just play the Eland because that 90mm HEAT does 10x more damage and never shatters.
The number of videos per day is a must have for me right now. So damn grateful for the gameplay, editing, and uploads daily!!! Love it, just no more NVG in day time battles 😂😂 my eyes hurt!
@@PhlyDailyctually phly it really didn't. 😅 but if you feel it had to be done well, we can all agree to pretend it DID HAVE TO BE DONE. ....even tho it didn't... At all.... even on a phly friday. 😬
I got the centurion mk10 and gave up. Iv grinded almost every nation to around rank 5 or 6 and i have never had a more painful experience than with the centurions. Slow. no armor. No post pen damage. Youre so slow youll almost never het in a position to actualy make the stabalizers useful. Just useless tanks. Now with the APDS nerfs i refuse to touch them.
*Begin Transmission* Day 40. Ahhhh the Conqueror. The infamous “Conq”. Never could get into the swing of service like it’s American compatriot, the M103. So many projects just couldn’t meet the standards of a vastly changing world in regards to military might. Only one is left, just like there is only one left of the T26E4 Super Pershing. Yes, contrary to popular belief, one Super Pershing still exists, at the 1st Division Museum in Indiana. But both tanks live on in War Thunder - of course, Phly has played one and not the other during the time of these transmissions. Oh well, I won’t stop trying! *End Transmission*
You are right Phly, they designed the late MBTS with hulldown fighting in mind, that's why only the turret and upper plate of the chieftain are not bad, the sides and rear of the Mk 6 are 37mm, to give you an idea Soviet WW2 anti tank rifles could pen them.
I’m loving this volume of videos coming out,I took a break from war thunder after going insane at 8.3 but seeing you have fun makes it fun,gonna suck when you take a break eventually but that’s life
from what i understood from tank historian vids , the strategy was the conqueror was attached to 5 centurions. not having a stabilizer (or only worked at low speeds, cant remember) it would hang back at the rear of the formation and give fire support with its far larger 120mm gun
Man, I still remember when this thing used to bounce off t-64 apfsds on the turret at above 600m like it was nothing. With the addon armor of course. Idk how it did that, but it did anyway
WG has done a great job showing shell hits on tanks,keep adding more and different explosions and tank damage in game please. Thanks for the Video Phily.

the ME 262 at 15:50 was the king tiger you took out, classic german mains, completely unaware of their surroundings, terrible at flying cas, and always trying to revenge kill with planes

I don't know how you remember everything ! Lol I guess it's been drilled into your brain ! 😂 Great video. (How about a true classic for next video. Impress us with the ju88a4 ! 😂)
Honestly the Conq is the first british tank I 'fear' when playing against Britain. I haven't worked my Brit tree that high yet, but I really look forward to the moment I can play it. I thrive in the RB BR7-BR9 space in this game. really love it.
I love my British tanks including the Conqueror, first tree I ground out about 10 yrs ago. But with Gaijin's recent nerfing of sabot rounds playing Brits is totally frustrating and IMO pointless. The post pen damage now is abysmal, you get a good hit in and if you're lucky take out a single crew member and then they get you
I main this tank, and maybe its just me, but I can't really think of a time when I got killed from my lower glacis, or if it happens frequently. Most deaths are from the turret face weakspot, top of the roof with HE, or just straight through the upper front plate.
Welcome back Phly Back to business: My Request: Btw i saw you have the M48 Suuuuuuuuuuper but you didn't even made one vid about it so why don't you do M48 Super aka Go-Kart Patton (at least in arcade PvE🙃) And because you want to play a combination take the IL-28 out with its FAB 3000 for some multikills Day: 159 -Phly Decal right side of turret from behind -Driver Tigor
All fun and games until people realize that the lower plate isn't even the weakest point, but instead it has 76mm of front armor between the plates since 2018.
the stat based balancing is true of a lot of tanks though. The least Gaijin could do is if a tanked is played by than less than x number of people do manual balancing.
@PhlyDaily 3:23 that right cheek doesnt detonate, it looks like HESH, but was causing detonations even with a full APDS loadout so they got rid of it entirely
Day 6 - Hey Phly, you should play the StuG III A at 2.3 with HEAT and smoke rounds. Just pure entertainment to run around with. You can pair it with the duck for some extra phun!
Im a weirdo. The Conq is actually my favorite tank. You give great reasoning as to why it can be super dangerous in the right pos. It wasn't mentioned that it has more pen then a large majority of apfsds rounds below 9.0
The Conqueror is one of very few heavy tanks I enjoy playing. I don't normally like the playstyle and heavy tanks at 7.7 really seem to be fodder for the most part but the Conq is lit.
I have an Ace crew Conqueror, which I love playing a lot, but I only play Arcade, I just don't seem to have the art of Playing Realistic, even after nearly Eight years of playing War Thunder Ground Forces, I use Hesh as well as the APDS round's, I'm just wondering why you never used Hesh?

Phly pls guide me on how to play tanks, I think it would be a great series with a noob and an expert
Yes the Conqueror. An impenetrable tank. Says everyone until I drive it and gets 1shotted everytime.
The Conqueror, great gun, great armor, great commander cupola weakspot that gets everyone killed in the turret.
Damn the British hull down doctrine. It's such a grind, but damn do the tanks look good.
In my experience this thing actually handles ATGMs quite well, probably frustrating for early heli pilots having to dump from two to four missiles into this
Dang, the conq is kinda out there man! Nice heavy tank gameplay
When armor works in war thunder, it's so satisfying
My favourite tank!! Shame it’s worse now w the APDS changes, but still love Conquerer
I just got this tank last night. Perfectly timed videooooo🎉😝
Love your videos Phly!
Gaijin out here single-handedly ending deforestation

Conqueror's crew members take a tea break before loading the next round I swear XD
proceeds to bounce like 6 shots
"THAT OTHER TEM GOT DESTROYED"
Germany suffers
i love bringing the conq in to 10.3 matches and still getting like 3 or 4 kills with it, meanwhile still bouncing so many shots before death :)
This thing sits at the same BR as the Maus lmao.
We'll never get BR decomp, right?
1:30 Team X-ray gives two thumbs up 👍👍
"Balls in my mouth" 😂😂😂😂 jesus man lol i talk like that at work too lmao
more like hull down in berms at the fulda gap for the 15 mins they would survive for

WarThunder needs to simulate PTSD from all the hits.
Incredible fight, best ending for that fight, they gave up and called in a air strike.

I really enjoyed this one! That tank can really just shrug stuff off.
7.7 with gun stable
balanced game
My guy, 120mm hesh is underated when you face a lot of light tanks in uptiers.
Thanks for playing this tank it is one of my favourites 😂❤
m41 has commander gunner, thats why he was able to fire without a gunner. One of the earliest tanks to have it in wt

It fighting king tigers never happens, a downtier is 1 in a million

This is one of my favorite tanks. its over ranked for this bias game. but i love how it feels drives and plays
You forgot the third reason people dont play this tank: ATGMs everyhwere at this BR :')
conq is amonster and its armour is great. im very aggressive with it, at least as much as the reload allows it.
