Chapter 723: T-60

Compared to the infantry who walk next to the heavy tanks, the tank cavalry will save a lot of effort, but the risk is much higher. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The Soviet tank is the main target of the Trood, and after the shell hits it, it is easy to cause collateral damage to the tank cavalry riding on the tank. Although Trood ordered that his crew members were forbidden to use high-explosive shells against enemy tanks, the rest of the artillery did not have so many rules, and there were always a few unlucky ones who suffered misfortune when the fire continued.

Since the last time was a night battle, Trood and they didn't have much experience with the Soviet T-34 tank, although Hans had a lot of information about the T-34 series of tanks on his mobile phone to let the team members fully understand, but this kind of thing is a war, if you don't actually try it, you can't detect the details at all.

And when Trod and the T-34 really exchanged fire, when the distance between the two sides was shortened, and the No. 4 could shoot more accurately at the enemy, they really felt that the improvement in the protective performance brought by the bulletproof shape of the T-34 was not so simple at all. In particular, the hood armor-piercing projectile (APC) feels quite poor to hit, although the warhead that retains more kinetic energy will have a higher theoretical armor-piercing ability, but in comparison, the blunt-headed armor-piercing projectile is more threatening to this kind of inclined armor construction.

However, all of the Trood's ammunition are 75x495R hood piercing shells, which are undoubtedly inferior when used against the T-34. Excluding those already cheap targets, many of the shells that hit the T-34 ricocheted, leaving only a shallow scratch on the surface of the tank, and the internal members did not feel the shock at all when they were already jolting, so it can be said that the Trode their attacks were insignificant many times.

"Damn, the turret is small enough, and these Soviets really came up with this kind of design!" Nattle couldn't help but be a little impatient because he hadn't broken through a T-34 for half a day. For him, although the T-34 medium tank was much larger than the previous light tanks, it was relatively easy to aim. However, the turret of the most powerful tank fire point has not become much larger, and the bulletproof shape is much better, so even regardless of the thickness of the armor, the probability of hitting and penetrating the enemy tank is no better than the original BT-7 or something.

Compared to Natle, Trood was more concerned about tanks and ammunition types. Because he knows that many of the current Soviet combat vehicles are in the shape of inclined armor, but this is not absolute, for example, the KV-1 heavy tank, which is only inferior to the Tiger, still uses a more vertical armor.

But compared with the Soviet army, their tanks are almost the same, except for those tank destroyers that are not suitable for charge combat, whether it is a heavy tank or a heavy tank, and even a light tank that has become obsolete but is still in service with some troops, it is a vertical armor design, this rigid and outdated status quo makes him feel very worried, if their design plan continues like this, Trod is afraid that one day the Soviet tanks will even surpass them in quality.

And in addition to this, ammunition also became a problem for Trode, and this time he did not carry blunt-headed armor-piercing shells not due to his negligence, but on their side, the ammunition ration of tank No. 4 itself did not have blunt-nosed armor-piercing shells. This is also due to the fact that the benefits given to the German tank crews by hood armor-piercing shells in previous operations were too great, so they praised this kind of shell. As for the new shells, many of them did not dare to try them, and some even gave bad comments directly...... To a large extent, this has hindered the implementation of blunt-nosed armor-piercing shells.

But now, they have finally reaped the consequences of their original self-reliance. And even if the Germans wake up now, it is impossible to implement blunt-nosed armor-piercing shells on a large scale within a period of time, after all, their current production does not allow that. And it will take a lot of effort to convert the workshop for the production of hood armor-piercing shells into a workshop for the production of blunt-nosed armor-piercing bullets. It's all time, and the soldiers on the front line can't afford it......

"Give me death!" Natel roared and fired another armor-piercing shell, but this time there was no accident - the shell pierced the T-34's upper armor, and then, under the effect of the fuse, the explosive detonated with delay, directly fatally wounding the members of the tank, and the tank itself immediately stopped, never moving again.

"Yay!" Seeing that a tank had finally been destroyed, Natel almost jumped up and shouted, "Trode, find me the next one!" Stein, count them for me! ”

"The T-60 in the direction of eleven o'clock...... "Since the last T-34 really consumed too much of their time, when choosing this time, Trode deliberately chose a very weak target.

The T-60 light tank was designed by the Soviet Army to replace the T-38 amphibious reconnaissance tank, because some smaller workshops or factories do not have the ability to produce slightly more complex tanks such as the T-34 or KV-1, their production level is still mostly at the level of producing light tanks, in order to prevent them from stopping production, the Soviet Army has a T-50 program.

However, even for a simple tank like the T-50, many factories still could not produce all its components (such as the engine and gearbox), so in order to simplify the process even more, the Soviets began to look for another solution. And this search time is indeed extremely short, the simple process of the T-60 was laid from the time it was born, because its basic design was completed in only 15 days, which was probably undreamed of for German tank designers in Western Europe.

However, although the production process of the T-60 tank is extremely simple, it cannot be said to be a shoddy product, and its performance in various parameters is quite good, and the cost is naturally economical. Of course, this simple tank has absorbed one of the good 'advantages' of Soviet tanks - the internal space is small, and it will look awkward for many operations in it...... (To be continued.) )
