Most easily likened to the American T110E5 but with less frontal armor and more gun, the 215b is outfitted with a marginally better hull than the [[Caernarvon]] and [[Conqueror]], but even more prone to module damage and crew injury at its own tier. 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.

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 but with less frontal armor and more gun, the 215b is outfitted with a marginally better hull than the Caernarvon and Conqueror, but even more prone to module damage and crew injury at its own tier. 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.
Just as the Conqueror it can use HESH shells, with such a huge alpha damage it can severely cripple any other tank as long as it scores a penetrating hit. But the Regular AP round is still enough to do the job.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- High DPM
- High accuracy (Good on the move as well)
- Can use High-penetration HE (HESH) shell (twice that of its competitors)
- Mobility is very good for a heavy
- Large health pool
Cons:
- Weak armor with lots of weak points
- Rear-mounted turret
- Ammo rack is weak
- Catches fire easily, with weak fuel tanks
- Easy to track
Performance
The key to playing this fearsome support tank right is clearly found in proper positioning and usage of cover and such tactics as "side-scraping". The FV215b is very much an all or nothing machine; in the wrong hands it is awkward, difficult to handle and frail, but properly driven it can be a monster.
