In Hoc Signo is right, well known, but should "vinces" be in the imperative "vince"?

I always thought it was "By this sign, you will conquer." Second person, future tense. If this is wrong, please correct me.

Maybe you are right, I am not sure, I always thought it was just "IN THIS SIGN, CONQUER." I could very well be wrong. You will Conquer sounds cool.
