Historical Background:
The FV227 Conservator tank project was a development of the assault tank concept, focusing on countering enemy vehicles rather than fortifications. The main purpose of the vehicle was to strengthen the universal Centurion tanks in combat. The FV227 Conservator was planned to be equipped with two identical large-caliber guns, allowing for alternate or salvo firing. Attempts to develop a tank with a twin gun mount were made in many developed countries, but none of these projects were ever put into production.
