[[File:III-VI pattern Leman Russ Conqueror.jpg|right|thumb|III-VI pattern Leman Russ Conqueror]]
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|2c}} 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 [[Searchlightsearchlight]] 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}} The Conqueror is also equipped with a prismatic up-scope, a [[vox]] and an intercom system. The tank weighs 62 tonnes and can move in excess of 30kph off-road. Possessing 200mm of armour material, it is capable of withstanding a shot that shifts the tank several metres to the side without any penetration.{{Fn|2c}}
The Conqueror's main gun incorporates recoil brakes, gyro-stabilisers and inertial dampers, allowing the tank to fire on the move and to maintain target-lock even when the tank is bouncing and lurching around.{{Fn|2c}}
