Although there are a lot of documents piled up on Himeko's desk, Himeko's processing speed is very fast, and it doesn't take long to process them all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After sorting out the papers on the table, the three of them set off for the garage of the armored department.

Like the Ministry of Aviation, the Armored Department also has a warehouse dedicated to parking combat vehicles, so the members of the department can get on the vehicles without much trouble.

"By the way, what is the tank we are using this time?"

Halfway through, Otowa suddenly spoke.

"The weight of this game is 4.7 and the field is relatively large, so we used the M4A1 (76) W with good firepower and maneuverability. ”

M4 stands for Sherman, A1 for model, 76 for 76mm M1 gun, W for ammunition rack equipped with a water jacket.

"Since the British 4.7 already has a lot of vehicles that use 17-pounder guns, we don't have to think about defense at all when choosing a vehicle. ”

Although the caliber (76mm) and double diameter (55 times) of the 17-pounder gun are not very prominent, it is good to hold up this thing's shells, and if you can use APDS, there is no vehicle in the same class that can block this kind of cross-era shells.

Fortunately, the accuracy of this original APDS is not very good, otherwise these are really invincible in 4.7 in Firefly Challenger.

Led by Himeko, the three of them soon came to the door of a warehouse.

Miyasui Natsuki had already arrived here early, and it looked like she had been waiting for a while.

"I'm sorry Natsuki kept you waiting. ”

"Sister Meicun, don't work too hard, remember to take a break. ”

Natsuki is actually a good girl, but she's a little too stingy.

Isn't it just that the goddess was taken away by Otoha, of course she should choose to forgive her at this time!

After some verification, Himeko quickly opened the door of the warehouse.

A brand-new Sherman appeared in front of everyone, and the long M1 gun looked quite formidable.

But this Sherman...... Sure enough, it's still the Sherman M1 (M4A3E8) that Otowa used before, but after all, the weight is two levels lower.

"Alright, let's get in the car. ”

After Himeko finished speaking, she was the first to board the chariot.

"Why are you in such a hurry? ”

Otowa shook his head and climbed up the turret as well.

All four moved quickly, and it didn't take long for all of them to get into the chariot.

"Let's go!"

"Oh!"

After receiving Himeko's order, Natsuki started the engine directly.

The sound of the Ford GAF engine running is very pleasant, which can be regarded as a big advantage of the gasoline engine.

The 500-horsepower engine is still very sufficient to push the 32-ton tank, and the thrust-to-weight ratio is as much as 15.6, so the vehicle accelerates very quickly.

The only drawback is that the top speed is only 42km/h, which is not as wild as the T-34.

In addition to good maneuverability, this Sherman is no less bad in terms of firepower.

The 76mm M1 gun is capable of penetrating 109mm of armor arranged at a normal angle of 30° at a distance of 500 yards when firing M79 APC shells, and can also penetrate 93mm of armor under the same conditions when using M62 APC shells. If the M93 HVAP is used, it can even penetrate 157mm of armor under the same conditions, which is enough to penetrate the front armor of the opposite Churchill VII.

After all, in history, there have even been Hellcats who killed the Tiger King head-on with this thing, and it was a piece of cake to use it against Churchill.

However, it is not only the artillery that measures the output of the vehicle, of course, the Sherman has done a good job in other aspects.

The ultra-high speed turret that can rotate 360° in 10 seconds, plus the gun vertical stabilizer, can be said to be quite comfortable to aim, which is a black technology that many high-end cars do not have.

In addition, the elevation and elevation angle of Sherman's gun is also very good, the elevation angle can reach -10 degrees, and the elevation angle can go to 25 degrees, which greatly ensures the output ability of the combat vehicle in complex terrain.

The only drawback is probably the protection, although the 63mm/51° front armor cannot be said to be an ornament, but it is also unable to resist the attack from the same level of combat vehicles, simply put, the protection depends on metaphysics.

Otowa thinks that his face shouldn't be dark, and maybe he will be able to encounter a metaphysical jump order when the time comes.

However, in the face of the 17-pounder gun, even the M4A3E2, a steamed bun with a front armor thicker than 38mm, still can't bear it, so it's better to bet on maneuver and faith.

The speed of 42km/h is not fast, but it is not slow, and it didn't take long for everyone to arrive at the training ground of the Oarai Armor Department.

Of course, it is impossible to practice in the school, otherwise it would be fun if a stray bullet hits the school building, so the school specially bought a piece of land nearby for the students of the armored department to practice.

After arriving at the training ground, Himeko first jumped out of the chariot and then said something to the staff here, after which many girls gathered.

"What did you say, I feel like a lot of people are leaning over. ”

As soon as Himeko returned to the chariot, Otowa couldn't help but speak.

"It's nothing, I just told them I wanted to challenge AI. Himeko said leisurely.

"Challenge the AI?" Otowa tilted his head.

"To put it simply, it's a way to engage with AI-controlled vehicles, and then the number of AI increases as the battle increases, so it's a way to practice. ”

This way of practicing is not surprising to Otowa, as she had been practicing at the Aviation Department before, and she had been fighting against AI-controlled target aircraft.

"Do you want to stand up?"

After all, Otowa is Himeko's childhood sweetheart, and he almost guessed what Himeko wanted to do.

Himeko brought in two people from outside who had never learned a chariot, and as soon as they came up, they were going out to play. Although no one said it, there must be many people behind the scenes who are not convinced by this.

The best way to deal with this situation is, of course, to show your strength, as long as you can prove that you have the strength, and the strength is even stronger than these people, they will naturally not be dissatisfied with this anymore.

"Hmm. Himeko nodded. "If you want to prove your strength, this is the best way, so you must not be ashamed, otherwise it will be a lifetime of black history. ”

"If you can't pretend to be pressed to the ground by the AI...... It's a shame to think about. ”

"So you're ready?" Himeko said with a smile.

"I've been ready for a long time, isn't it AI, in terms of my strength, it's casual abuse. Otowa smiled as well, and then continued, "In the Ministry of Aviation, I haven't lost a battle with an AI, okay?" ”

"Tanks and warplanes are not the same. ”

Listening to Himeko's words, Otowa suddenly showed a confident smile.

"No, it's all the same for me. ”
