Battlefront Miniatures
15mm (1:100 scale)
As tanks became heavier and increasingly well-armoured, commanders demanded heavier and heavier designs to counter them. For the British this meant the introduction of the Conqueror tank and then on to the even heavier FV215.
The FV215 adapted the Conquerors heavily armoured chassis and mounted a huge 183mm gun in a large boxy turret. The gun fired a massive High-explosive Squash Head (HESH) shell that weighed 72.5kg (160 lbs).
The HESH round worked by creating a shockwave on detonation that causes the targets armour to spall and send fragments flying around the interior of the tank. Unlike traditional kinetic energy rounds, these HESH rounds do not lose their effectiveness at longer ranges.
The size of the shells and the separate propellant cases made loading the 183mm gun difficult under even optimal circumstances and required two loaders to maintain a rate of fire of one round per 25-30 seconds.
