“Gentlemen, welcome here!” said the engineer in a white coat, standing proudly in front of a row of closed garages.
Surrounding him was a group of officers and soldiers from afar. Karyus stood at the front, watching the engineers and officers who welcomed them.
Although there is no champagne and bread, everyone’s faces are full of smiles – the most advanced tank is the happiest thing for the tank crew members.
“The new tank can aim while traveling, and then can fire after a short stop!” The engineer smiled and spread his hands.
Behind him, a guard with a rifle on his back pushed open the door of the garage, and brand new Tiger tanks appeared in front of everyone.
History should remember this moment, because in the history of human warfare, the first real main battle tank was installed in the German army in 1941.
The unit equipped with this tank is the German 505th Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion in the Red Tekach World War I.
The Tiger tank, also equipped with this battalion, has become one of the most successful tanks of this era. It then became a totem for German armored forces and a nightmare for all enemies.
As the replacement of the German armored forces, the replacement of the Panther tank, the Tiger tank has all the characteristics of the future tank.
First of all, the most advanced smelting technology is used to improve the armor protection performance of this tank. In the era when Tiger tanks were equipped with the German army, almost no enemy tanks could destroy Tiger tanks at normal engagement distances.
In order to make the protection of this tank more outstanding, Germany first proposed the concept of composite armor. Although there are reservations in practical application, it is beyond doubt that the Tiger tank uses a technical principle similar to composite armor.
Secondly, the powerful artillery system and aiming system allow this tank to fire at its own enemies at a distance of 1000 meters, and can easily destroy these enemies!
The 105mm caliber artillery is seriously overflowing in this era, and it can easily penetrate the armor of opponents such as the T-34. This is due to the fact that the 105mm caliber tank gun brings together the cutting-edge technology of Britain and Germany, and its power is naturally extremely powerful.
Finally, the diesel engine, which is piled up with advanced British and German technology, gives this tank a powerful power. The off-road maneuvering performance even exceeds that of the much lighter Panther tank.
Such a powerful maneuverability allows German tanks to quickly shift their positions during the battle, making it more difficult for opponents to narrow the distance between them. In this way, the German crew can give full play to their long-range shooting advantages and achieve tactical victory.
The three basic elements of the tank, the Tiger tank has a perfect performance, which proves the superiority and advance of the German tank in design.
On the other hand, in unseen data, the German tank concept is more advanced. While Soviet tank designers are trying to catch up with the performance of the paper data, German tank designers have begun to pile high-tech equipment for tanks.
There is a simple ballistic computer on the Tiger tank. This mechanical computing device can accurately and quickly calculate the shooting elements according to the wind speed and other parameters of the day.
And German engineers are also equipping Tiger tanks with complex night vision equipment, in order to give Tiger tanks the ability to fight at night.
Compared with these invisible performance innovations, the Soviet Union’s Stalin 2 tank, which has just started mass production, seems a bit unsightly.
“The 502nd Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion encountered a new type of Soviet tank that had never been seen before.” A senior intelligence officer present stood beside Karjus and looked at the tiger in the distance tank, he said.
He seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him. After a pause, he continued: “It’s not a KV-2 tank, it’s a brand new tank with very powerful firepower and heavy armor.”
“A Leopard tank of the 502nd Tank Battalion fired two shots at it at a distance of 1,000 meters, and neither penetrated the armor of this tank…” When mentioning this matter, the intelligence officer’s tone was full of solemnity.
You must know that before this new enemy tank appeared, there was no enemy tank on the battlefield that could resist the bombardment of the 88mm caliber tank gun equipped with the Panther tank at a normal engagement distance.
But now, this tank has appeared. The other side is likely to accelerate the production of this new type of tank, and the German side must also take measures to deal with it!
If the response measures are not timely, it may affect the morale of the German armored team members.
In addition, if the new German tanks cannot continue to crush the new Soviet tanks, the losses of the German armored forces will increase tenfold or more by the spring of next year.
“The people in the testing department are studying the wreckage of that tank~www.mtlnovel.com~ It is equipped with a 122mm caliber tank gun, which is obviously designed and developed for the Panther tank.” Having said that, The intelligence officer looked at Karjus.
Karjus also looked at him, as if waiting for what he was going to say next. The officer didn’t give a shit, and said directly: “That’s why the above is so eager to put the Tiger tanks on the front line.”
Hearing the caliber of 122 mm, Karjus’s heart also tightened a little – this caliber is really not small, and it is really deterrent when installed on a tank.
You know, before the 122mm caliber tank gun was in service, the German 88mm caliber tank gun could be said to be the largest tank gun in terms of caliber.
Although the 152mm caliber howitzer equipped by the KV-2 has a larger caliber, the role of the KV-2 is obviously closer to the self-propelled artillery, and it is not a qualified tank.
Before the Soviet T-34 was only equipped with a 76.2 mm caliber gun, which was smaller than the German 88 gun.
But this time, the Soviets completed the go-ahead in caliber: they were the first to be equipped with a 122mm caliber tank gun, which was larger than the 105mm caliber tank gun equipped by the German Tiger tank!
“Is there no more detailed data?” Karyus was worried about the Soviet Union’s new tanks, and asked after thinking about it.
The intelligence officer’s answer was somewhat regrettable: “We only found the wreckage of one tank, and the wreckage of the tank was left after the bombing… The damage inside is very serious, and basically there is nothing left… So, so we Can’t get too much information.”
“This is bad news…” Karjus nodded and didn’t ask further: “Pray, when spring comes, there won’t be too many new Soviet tanks.”
