Chapter 102: T32? Buy? Don't you buy it?
Next up are the IS-3 and IS-6, which can be described as typical Soviet vehicles.
In terms of firepower, the D-25T used by the IS-3 and the D-30 used on the IS-6 are both 122mm caliber guns, and the BR-471 series ammunition is also used.
According to the age rules of the battle lane, although the BR-471P as an APCR cannot be used, the BR-471D as an APCBC (don't complain about why it is called APCR in WOT) is still possible. BR-471D belongs to the artillery shell developed at the end of the war, and the armor-piercing performance is naturally not bad, so it can be said that this shell played the real level of the D-25T.
Even according to Maozi's standards, this cannon can hit a level of 185mm penetration depth of 1,000 meters. Don't think that this penetration depth is very low, in Maozi's test, KwK.43's APCBC only has a penetration depth of about 140mm at this distance.
For more information about D-25T, you can see "About the Comparison of 122mm D-25 and 8.8cmKwK.43L71" written by the author in the work.
In short, there is no problem in terms of firepower, at least it is enough to deal with Sandas. The more painful thing is the reloading speed of the 122 gun, although the loading of the weight-reducing shells in the battle lane can be faster, but the girl is estimated to not exceed four rounds per minute, after all, the reloading is too painful.
In terms of protection, both combat vehicles are very good, and without the comic conversion system in WOT, the armor equivalent of the IS-6 arranged at a normal angle of 65° can even reach the level of 240! Moreover, the ricochet effect caused by its large inclination angle is also obvious.
However, it is too affected by the angle, and the opposite side must have lowered the muzzle of the gun to shoot in a close-range street fight. As long as the opposite shell is +5 ° from the horizontal plane when it hits the armor, the angle of incidence will become 30 °, don't underestimate this 5 ° deviation, which directly makes the thickness of the equivalent 240mm become 200mm (if you are interested, you can take the trigonometric function and calculate it yourself).
That is to say, in actual combat, this car should try to ensure that the position is higher than that of the enemy, in order to achieve the best protection effect, but with the usual depression angle of the Soviet system...... It's a sad story.
Although the girl didn't know what the depression angle of the IS-6 was, I am afraid that it was not much better based on the 2° depression angle of the IS-3 next door.
The aura of the father in the WOT is really not blown, and the depression angle of the Soviet car, especially the heavy tank, is particularly badly buffed, and many of them have reached twice or even tripled. You see the same design of the middle system next door, it's not like it's biological.
Looking at the armor of the IS-3, well, the 110mm armor arranged in a V-shape maximizes the protection of the vehicle while ensuring the space inside the vehicle. From the V-shaped arrow to the shoulder, it can provide 212mm-245mm protection. But the disadvantage is that this armor is too directive, and maximum protection can be provided only head-on against the enemy. As long as the girl puts it at a 20° angle, the protection of the side of the V-shaped armor close to the enemy will instantly drop to less than 180mm.
As a result, the IS-3's armor will be very weak in the face of attacks from multiple directions, which is also a major problem.
As for the side, with the famous black hole armor as a guarantee, the two cars will naturally not be bad. Especially the IS-6, the 100mm black hole armor on the side of this guy can be said to be an artifact-like existence in WOT, and it can be immune to D-400T at a distance of 25m.
Turret? The turrets of both vehicles can be said to be very strong, and I can't do anything if you insist on brushing the small area on the left and right sides of the front of the IS-6 turret without a gun shield.
Finally, the IS-3 weighs 46.5 tons, has an engine output of 520 horsepower, a thrust-to-weight ratio of about 11.18, and a maximum speed of 37km/h, which can only be regarded as decent. The IS-6 weighs 51.5 tons, has an engine output of 700 horsepower, and a thrust-to-weight ratio of about 13.95, which can drive the combat vehicle to the level of 43km/h, which is somewhat better than the IS-3.
After reading the information of the two chariots, the girl thought for a while and finally decided to give up the two chariots. For no other reason, the depression angle and rate of fire of the two vehicles were too impressive, and the armor that was too directional was not suitable for lane engagement. Only in cluster combat, the shortcomings of the IS-3 and IS-6 will be best compensated, and the advantages of the two vehicles will be more reflected.
The thought of the IS-3 cluster that would have to face the truth in the future gave the girl a headache.
In the end, there are only the American T32 and M6A2E1 left.
Among them, the M6A2E1 uses the T5E1 type 105mm gun, although the 90mm gun of the T32 is used
Compared with the T15E2, the increase in penetration depth is not very large, but it is completely sufficient, and it is not worth KwK.43 at all.
However, M6A2E1 was directly rejected by the girl, first of all, this thing is too big, taller than the mouse, and the bomb area is too large; Secondly, this guy is big, the side is only 44mm, and it is also exposed armor without track protection, so it can be said that as long as a little bit of the tank is exposed, it can be pierced through the side; In the end, the 66-ton weight of this thing is almost equal to that of the Tiger King, and even the engine with 960 horsepower is useless - terrain adaptability is too poor.
Then only the T32 remains, the T32's 127mm armor arranged at a normal angle of 54 ° can bring about 215mm of protection, which is enough, although it can't defend against Sandas's T34 at a long distance, but it's still no problem to bully Pershing without HVAP.
On the side, although it is only 76mm, it is protected by the suspension system, and it is more likely to damage the suspension system when it is not hit by the opposite side, although it is not a good thing to damage the suspension in terms of the lane.
Turret, does this need to be said? The 298mm/197mm/152mm turret does not have a single vehicle in the battle lane that can penetrate from the front. Coupled with the 10° depression angle brought by the T32's large turret, this guy can definitely exert a strong combat effectiveness in the mountains.
As for maneuvering, the Ford Ford GACV-12 gasoline engine can provide 720 horsepower, while the T32 weighs 57 tons, has a thrust-to-weight ratio of 12.51, and a steep speed of 35km/h, which is not bad.
So...... The T32, which has no drawbacks, seems to be the best choice.
But at this moment, Lis, who had been watching the girl from the sidelines, finally spoke.
"But sister, do you really want to buy a Tier 8 heavy tank? After buying, there will be no bonus points available~"
