The FV4004 Conway is a British tier 9 tank destroyer.
The tank destroyer prototype was created on the basis of the Centurion medium tank. Developed for use in combat against heavy tanks of that period, including the IS-3.
The FV4004 Conway is a tier 9 tank destroyer in turreted British TD line. it is noticeably less agile than its predecessor, still lacks protection like its predecessor. however, it offers two good gun choices, which makes up for it.
As of 9.20.1, it had two gun choices; The 120mm gun which is shared with the Tortoise's top gun, offers very good DPM, and the new 5.5 inch gun, which trades gun arc and RoF for massive alpha damage.
Despite seemingly impressive firepower on paper, the Conway is a horrible tank. Terrible gun stabilization, camouflage values, a large profile, low mobility and poor protection make this vehicle arguably one of the worst at high tiers.
The FV4004 Conway leads to the FV4005 Stage II.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- No stock grind, as its "stock" gun is the same gun with Tortoise's top gun.
Cons:
-Tied with Strv 103 for The lowest hitpoint pool of tier 9 TDs, although one should get used to this as the FV4005 has the lowest of tier 10 TDs.
- Poor gun elevation
- Limited top speed and poor hull and turret traverse speeds. Turret cannot fully rotate with the 5.5-in gun
- Generally poor armor and also very large
- Low ammo capacity on both guns
- Terrible camouflage values
- 120mm gun has very poor hard stats for the platform its mounted on
- Horrible gun stabilization, negates the (on paper) good aiming time
Performance
Easily the worst of the tier 9 Tank Destroyers, combining bad speed with a massive target without armor, a mediocre gun and bad camouflage which prevents it from sniping, as well as playing aggressively. If you have blueprint fragments or a lot of Free-XP, it is advised to skip this vehicle.
Early Research
You don't need to research a turret and start with a great gun, making it an easier grind that is similar to the Ru 251. If you already researched through the British mediums or heavies, then you will already have the top engine and radio.

Historical Accuracy Errata
The B.L. 5.5 inch gun was only fitted to the FV3805 and a turretless Crusader. Its configuration on the Conway is fake.
- In reality it had -5° of gun depression instead of -10°
- Historical HESH round with 152 mm penetration for the L1 120 mm gun is missing.
- The armor-piercing shell of the L1 120 mm gun is considerably weaker than in reality, with only 259 mm of penetration compared to the historical 361.
