Conqueror — British Tier X battleship.

This ship was designed as a battleship with increased firepower on the basis of the British experience in ship construction gained during World War II. The project featured twelve 419 mm main guns, the strongest broadside of any Royal Navy vessel.

Player Opinion

Performance

Perched atop the British battleship tech tree at Tier X, Conqueror is a worthy successor to Lion.

Like Lion, Conqueror can sneak around the map by taking advantage of her low detectability range, which is among the lowest of all Tier X battleships, even beating that of a Hindenburg fully kitted out for concealment. Her size means that she will take quite a few hits in a gunfight. As such, it is important to position properly and use concealment when faced with overwhelming odds. When this isn’t possible, Conqueror is capable of holding her own. Her high-explosive (HE) shells are extremely powerful and sport a high fire chance. This is useful when engaging multiple ships because she can burn her enemies at range and switch to armor-piercing (AP) for more devastating hits at close range. However, her HE shells are powerful enough that some captains may choose to use it exclusively.

After slugging it out with the other heavy-hitting ships at Tier X, Conqueror can use a special repair party consumable that is capable of restoring tens of thousands of hit points (HP). This allows her to stay in the fight, continuing to punish her enemies, but she is still relatively fragile if she is unable to disengage and heal. Conqueror’s anti-aircraft armament, while powerful for self-defense — especially the mid-range ring — is concentrated into a relatively small number of mounts, meaning it can be disabled fairly quickly. By combining her strengths and finding support from friendly ships, Conqueror becomes one of the most powerful ships in the game.

Pros:

Excellent AP and HE shell performance. Conqueror is capable of destroying her enemies at any range.
High HE fire chance means that a salvo with multiple hits almost guarantees a fire, making her extremely effective against aircraft carriers.
Armor-piercing shells have short-fuse, allowing for fewer overpenetrations on ships
Amazing concealment, rivaling most cruisers and even beating some. Conqueror can sneak around a flank or disengage in order to repair the damage she has sustained in battle.
Access to the same crazy Specialized Repair Teams  consumable found on high tier British cruisers, capable of repairing huge amounts of damage, including 75% of normal penetration damage. Predominantly immune to DOT effects and if Conqueror can survive a ram, will heal an incredible amount.
Excellent anti-aircraft suite. When fully specialized for it, Conqueror is capable of shredding enemy aircraft.
Solid handling characteristics. With an above-average stock rudder shift time and turning radius, Conqueror is capable of outmaneuvering Montana and Großer Kurfürst. Yamato has a smaller turning radius but has a slower rudder shift time.

Cons:

Health point pool is one of the lowest among all Tier X battleships.
Despite a thick armor belt that is capable of stopping small-medium caliber shells, Conqueror has a citadel that's raised above the waterline and is vulnerable to high caliber AP shells when broadside. Most heavy cruisers can citadel the Conqueror at close range.
No protection against HE shells; her entire deck is basically unarmored besides the minimum armor for the tier.
The reliance on its super heal and concealment means that damage that can't be mostly repaired (citadel and torpedo hits) are more costly for the Conqueror because of its small healthpool on top of it being easier to inflict such damage due to its mediocre armour and torpedo belt.
Same short-fuse on the AP leads to poor performance against battleships at medium-to-long range.
Conqueror is a massive ship, which makes it hard to operate in close quarters. She is also a large target for enemy destroyers to hit with torpedoes, combined with the fact she has very poor torpedo protection compared to other Tier X battleships.
Slower than Großer Kurfürst and Montana, though not by much.
Even when fully specialized, Conqueror’s secondary armament is underwhelming due to its sluggish reload and low firepower.
Conqueror has her anti-aircraft armament concentrated into a relatively low number of mounts that are grouped on her superstructure, leading to many of them becoming incapacitated fairly quickly by high-explosive shells.
Lacks access to either Spotting Aircraft  or Catapult Fighter  consumables, but aviation reconnaissance can be done by depth charge airstrikes instead.

Research

As a Tier X ship, Conqueror doesn't have any upgrades to research.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Conqueror are as follows:

Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1 
Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1
Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 2
Slot 5: Concealment System Modification 1  *
Slot 6: Main Battery Modification 3

Upgrade Slot 5 While Concealment is an excellent choice, if available, the Enhanced Engineering Systems () upgrade offers decidedly different play.

As with most battleships, commander skill points for Conqueror are best invested into skills that will keep her alive.

Consumables

Conqueror equips the following consumables:

Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
Slot 2: Specialized Repair Teams

Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 2 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Conqueror with Type 20 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Signals

Critically important signal flags for Conqueror include: India Delta (), India Yankee (), and Juliet Yankee Bissotwo (). Players are also encouraged to equip November Echo Setteseven () to maximize Conqueror’s AA bubble and India Bravo Terrathree (🚫) to keep her operational costs more manageable.

Recommended Signal Flags

 |Research=<!-- write text about priority sequence of research below -->
-''Conqueror'' has one researchable upgrade for her main battery.  The stock gun configuration is four (4) turrets with three (3) 419mm rifles each.  By researching and upgrading, her configuration changes to four (4) turrets with two (2) 457mm rifles each.  Her AP and HE shell damage is similarly increased and the chance of fire for HE shells ticks upward.
+As a Tier X ship, ''Conqueror'' doesn't have any upgrades to research.
-It's difficult to recommend investing in the 457mm guns.  Some players may wish to purchase the upgrade in order to engage battleships more readily, but the small difference between ''Conqueror''’s 457mm shells and ''[[Yamato]]''’s 460mm ones is significant due to the way the armor overmatching mechanics work in World of Warships: ''Conqueror''’s 457mm shells cannot penetrate the bow of every other ship in the game the way ''Yamato'' can.  This is not to say that they are bad, only that the main advantage of ''Yamato''’s guns of approximately the same size does not transfer to ''Conqueror''. Also, since the stock guns have similar caliber to ''[[Großer Kurfürst]]'''s upgraded guns with the same number of rifles as well as a better reload, it is mostly a better choice to stay with the stock guns rather than spend credits and XP for the upgrade.
