With its quality torsion bar suspension system and high power-to-weight ratio the Conqueror is considered an excellent cavalry tank, able to outmaneuver and overwhelm the enemy with mobile firepower.{{Fn|2c}} As with other Leman Russ tanks the Conqueror is fitted with [[Targeter]] and [[Auspex]] gear including a laser rangefinder, landscape reader and crosswind sensor.{{Fn|2b}} The turret has been modified with additional armour plates riveted to the forward sides, along with improved air-intakes and venting, sealed against environmental hazards with valves and mufflers, allowing it to operate in harsh terrains. The turret also features a [[Searchlight]] and an armoured ammunition access hatch in the rear for faster re-arming and quicker disposal of spent shells without having to exit the vehicle.{{Fn|1a}}
Next to the Conqueror cannon in the turret is a co-axial [[Storm Bolter]], removing the need for [[pintle-mounted]] weapons (although the tank can still be outfitted to carry one, either a second Storm Bolter or [[Heavy Stubber]]. A hull-mounted [[Heavy Bolter]] or [[Lascannon]] also come standard, while the option sponson mounts can be fitted with Heavy Bolters or [[Heavy Flamer]]s. Other common additions include [[Camo Netting]], [[Extra Armour]], a [[Hunter-Killer Missile]], [[Improved Comms]], a [[Mine Sweeper]], [[Rough Terrain Modification]], [[Track Guard]]s and/or [[Smoke Launchers]].{{Fn|11d}}
