The FV215b is a British tier 10 premium heavy tank.
A proposed plan for a heavy tank based on the Conqueror Mk.II. Unlike the production model, this modification featured rear placement of the fighting compartment. Never saw production or service.
Possibly the most consistently and seriously damaging heavy tank in the game, the FV215b is as quirky as it is potentially devastating. Most easily likened to the American T110E5, the 215b is outfitted with a marginally better hull than the Caernarvon and Conqueror. Nevertheless, the tank makes some spectacular leaps from its predecessor in terms of turret thickness, gun performance, general stats, and not least in agility as it receives roughly a 65% increase in traverse speed. Also, it may take some time to get used to the rear mounted turret and finds its gameplay similar that of the Maus in that aspect.
The FV215b is expected to be removed from World of Tanks in a far future patch, at which time its tier X heavy place will be taken by the Chieftain Mk2 (see links below).

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- High DPM
- High accuracy (Good on the move as well)
- Very quick aim time
- Can use HESH against poorly armored targets
- High health pool
Cons:
- Weak all around armor for a heavy
- Ammo rack is weak
- Catches fire easily, with weak fuel tanks in the front
- Easy to track
- Subpar top speed considering the overall low armor
Performance
The FV215b shares a few similarities with the American tier 10 heavy, the T110E5. Both have above average gun depression, both have 400 alpha guns with not-too-alien gun stats to each other, and they both have relatively weak side and rear armor.
More often than not, the trick to playing the 215b is to play it as a medium tank. It cannot perform on the front lines due to the low alpha (for a heavy) gun, poor armor, and significant vulnerability to artillery. It performs much better as a sniper where its quick aim time, high accuracy, and DPM to cut down opponents without mercy. Should the opportunity present itself, the 215b can also hull down successfully due to the moderate (7 degrees) gun depression and tough turret.
