Chapter 1174

PS. here's today's update. By the way, I'd like to vote for the 515 fan festival of the starting point. Everyone has 8 votes, and the starting point coin is also given for voting. Kneel down and ask for your support and appreciation!

In fact, the armor of German Panther tank can not be described by the weight of the tank. At least the thickness of the front armor plate of tiger king tank is more than twice as thick as that of Panther tank. However, there is a Chinese saying that "people must die when compared with people, and goods must be thrown when compared with goods". It means that things are afraid of comparison. As long as there is comparison, we can distinguish the good from the bad.

The thickness of the upper armor of the 97 type tank in the front of the car body where the tank is most likely to be hit is 25 mm. Even according to the bulletproof requirements of the German armored reconnaissance vehicle, the word can only be used to describe the protection level of the Japanese tank. What's more sad is that Japanese tanks still have to give a discount on this level of protection. This is because Japanese tanks are made of riveted steel plates. Compared with welded and cast structures, the grade of Japanese tanks is much lower.

After the armor structure is hit by the shell, the steel plate that bears the main attack will not become the main stress part. The powerful force will be transferred to the riveted structure, causing the rivets to fall off. Then, because of too much force, these rivets will become "bullets" flying everywhere in the car body, killing all the people and equipment in the tank.

Because of this reason, this kind of stress structure is replaced by welding and casting, which has become an outdated design. The riveting structure is no longer used in modern tanks, which shows that this design is a failure in tanks. But in World War II, many tanks had to adopt this design, such as Italian tanks, Japanese tanks and British tanks

In contrast, German Leopard tanks are superior to Japanese tanks in terms of armor thickness, armor inclination and armor structure. Perhaps there is no comparison between the two, because this horizontal comparison can even be said to be insulting the leopard tank of Germany.

It can be divided into two parts to measure whether the armor thickness of a tank is enough or not, and also to analyze the opponent's anti Armor ability. For example, even if the armor thickness of Japanese tanks is generally about 20 mm, when these tanks are facing the middle * teams without anti tank guns or tanks, Japanese tanks can still be regarded as absolute armor thickness.

Therefore, to analyze which of the two opposing tanks has thicker armor, it depends on the artillery penetration ability of both sides. In this respect, the gap between the Japanese and the German troops was even greater, so huge that people could not bear to look directly at it.

Japan's 97 type tank has a 57 mm caliber short barrel gun. This kind of gun is actually a kind of artillery used to support infantry, and its armor piercing ability is very general. In fact, there is only one pitiful data to prove the backwardness of this kind of Artillery: it has no way to penetrate any German tanks in service, from leopard to tiger king.

On the other hand, although the armor thickness of leopard tank, which emphasizes mobility and reliability in Germany, has been slightly out of date, after its improvement, the 75 mm long tube 75 mm tank gun can definitely be regarded as one of the three largest tank guns in active service.

The other two kinds of guns exceed the German 75mm tank gun. One is the 88mm tank gun equipped on the Tiger tank, and the other is the 105mm tank gun just equipped by the tiger king tank. As for the 122mm tank gun equipped by the Soviet Union, because of the temporary modification and sub loading of ammunition, its overall performance is not as good as the 75mm tank gun used by the German army.

The Japanese steel smelting technology is good. The 25 mm thick tank armor can resist the 37 mm caliber anti tank gun. In other words, if the German Leopard tank uses the new tungsten alloy armor piercing bullet, it can easily break through the Japanese 97 tank at a distance of 2000 meters

Of course, there are still many wonderful innovations in Japanese tank design. For example, there is no communication device inside the Japanese tank, which makes the communication between the members of the crew in the noisy tank very difficult. So the Japanese army all relied on gestures to communicate in the car.

It's also a way to amuse yourself in a chaotic battlefield by slapping different parts of the driver to convey commands such as stopping or accelerating. What's even more wonderful is that Japan even calls this kind of tank, which only weighs more than ten tons, a medium-sized combat vehicle, so hypnotizes its own tank troops. It really makes people laugh and cry.

Such a huge gap, now the Japanese army does not know, they do not even know, because the German lens processing technology is far ahead, leopard tank equipped with the aiming system can easily find 1000 meters distance camouflaged Japanese tanks. So when the German army expanded its breakthrough, the gunner of a leopard tank found a Japanese tank disguised as a grassland bush.

"I found a Japanese camouflage, maybe an anti tank gun behind, maybe a Japanese tank... Maybe I should open fire to greet these poor Japanese." The treatment of German captains is very different from that of their Japanese counterparts. At least German tanks are equipped with communication devices for crew members, so German captains don't have to rely on thugs or kicks whether they contact their superiors or issue task orders to drivers.

"Over 1000 meters? If you fire at this distance, you may be fired by the armor of the other side. " In another German tank behind the tank, the slightly swaying captain said to his comrades by pressing the throat phone. After hearing the suggestion in the earphone, the German tank commander who found the target didn't think much of it. He said to the radio with a smile, "did you read the Far East Knowledge Manual sent to you? The armor thickness of the Japanese tank is similar to that of the T-26. Will you wait for the T-26 tank to approach 800 meters before firing? "“ God, there are still people in the world fighting with T-26 tanks... That's not a tank! I repeat, it's not a tank! By our standards, that thing should be called a tracked armored reconnaissance vehicle! Or something else, but not a tank The driver in the tank who was following the front tank continued to make complaints about the tank. However, the German Leopard tank in front is no longer planning to waste its time. Its turret points to the Japanese tank disguised as a bush in the distance, then suddenly stops moving forward, and then fires suddenly, firing a lethal shell. When the powerful shell flew out of the muzzle of the leopard tank, its speed had exceeded 1000 meters per second. Such a high initial speed gave the shell unparalleled penetration ability. Because the speed was so fast, it only took a moment for the shell to cross a distance of kilometers and tear open the camouflage in front of the Japanese tank. It seems that with a gust of vigorous wind, the camouflage grass was cut and smashed, and behind these weeds, sandbags were piled up to increase the protection ability of Japanese tanks, which were also torn apart and splashed with the huge force. In the end, the shell pounded heavily on the armored deck of the Japanese tank, making a huge noise“ Boom Before the Japanese around reacted, the shell easily penetrated the armor of the Japanese tanks, directly shaking all the rivets off, and leaving a hole as big as a fist on the front of the armor plate. The Japanese tank, hit by the shell, shook and the whole turret became slightly twisted due to the huge impact. The steel plates on the side of the turret used for protection were even broken, and the welding gaps were exposed without doubt... You don't need to look at the internal structure to know that the tank was completely destroyed. The Japanese tank soldiers inside had no time to respond at all. They had already been penetrated by countless shrapnel and hot steel torrent. They even had no time to scream, and they had already gone to see their Tianzhao God. In the face of Japanese tanks, the 75mm caliber tank gun used by Germany has seriously overflowed in power! This shell even destroyed the armor plate in front of the turret of the Japanese 97 type tank, then destroyed the self-defense machine gun hanging behind the turret of the tank, and then passed through the turrets of the two tanks. A few meters behind the body of the Japanese tank, it penetrated into the soil and splashed a piece of dust. The Japanese tank commander Miyamoto, who was watching the battle not far away, was speechless by the scene in front of him. There were shrubs and weeds in front of his tank for camouflage, and then sandbags piled up on the bunker to strengthen the protection... None of these measures seemed to be able to save the fate of the Japanese tank, because the opponent still destroyed it. What's more exaggerated, or even more unbelievable, is that after the German shells penetrated the armor of the Japanese tank, they actually shot the Japanese tank through. Such a powerful force shocked the Japanese tank commander Miyamoto. He began to regret taking his tank troops to such a place to die. He couldn't understand why the German tanks could fire so calmly at a distance of about 1000 meters, and what kind of means the other side used to find that he only exposed a tank with a turret outside. He couldn't understand why the other side's tank guns could hit targets the size of turrets at a distance of 1000 meters with such accuracy... In short, Miyamoto was in a mess. For the first time, he saw such a powerful opponent, which scared him【 515 is coming soon. I hope it will continue to hit the 515 red envelope list. On May 15, the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and publicity works. One piece is also love. It must be better!]
