Chapter 273: It seems to have penetrated
The Tiger King of Hesshorn was soon regrouped and attacked Liligi's centurion once again.
This time Liliki was not so lucky, and was hit by an 88mm armor-piercing shell in the turret of the vehicle.
The shell hit the side of the machine gun base on the side, directly penetrating the vertical piece of armor.
The turret of the vehicle was turning, and it stopped, indicating that they had been destroyed.
"Is this the end of it, well, I've already killed three Tiger Kings, and this wave is not a loss."
Liliki didn't feel so sad, one for three, and she made a lot of money.
But without the centurion, there is no chariot on Oarai's side that can beat the Tiger King.
Oarai's other 17-pounder cannon vehicle, the Firefly, was set on fire by Hesse Peak at the beginning, and now the strongest firepower on Oarai's side is Ferdinand and Panther 88's 8.8cmKwK.43L/71.
Coincidentally, the Tiger King of Hesse Peak is also the same 8.8cmKwK.43L/71, after all, this thing can be regarded as the top German gun in World War II.
In fact, if the 8.8cmKwK.43L/71 launches the APCR, it is still possible to penetrate the main armor of the Tiger King.
Of course, that was when the Tiger King didn't swing the angle.
After the Tiger King posed at a 30° angle, the APCR of 8.8cmKwK.43L/71 penetrated the Tiger King's head.
The Leopards and the Leopard Lions had no choice but to try to aim at the Tiger King's turret.
But the turret of the Tiger King is really difficult to fight.
The King Tiger uses a diamond-shaped turret with a small area on the front of the turret and a very thick gun shield in the middle. If you want to penetrate the Tiger King from the front, you must hit the vertical part of the frontal turret.
When aiming, it is easy to hit the side of the turret if it is deflected outward, and it will hit the gun shield if it is deflected inward, so it can be said that it is very difficult to aim.
If the Tiger King is stationary, forget it, and a few more shots will always hit, but the chariots of Hesse Peak move every time they fire a shot.
The Tiger King of Hesse Peak naturally knows his weaknesses, so he won't beat people so easily.
"No, the Tiger Kings of Hesse are too cunning, we can't hit the weak points in their turrets at all."
After Suzu Hojo, Satoro's voice rang out on the radio as well.
"If the Tiger King moves around, we won't be able to aim!"
"Received, each vehicle, try to attack the Tiger King's tracks and create an attack opportunity for the Leopard Group and the Leopard Lion Group."
Miho's reaction was very quick and immediately gave the corresponding order.
"Yes!" ””
The first to attack was Cromwell of the House Ducks, who fired an APDS shot at the Tiger King without saying a word.
The same is APDS, but the caliber of the 6-pounder gun is too small (only 57mm) and the diameter is not long enough (43 times the caliber), so it can only penetrate 130mm thick armor at a distance of 100 meters.
This bit of penetration is simply an itch for the frontal armor of the Tiger King.
But it doesn't matter, the gunners of the House Duck team are now aiming at the tracks.
But ah, the track is not what you want to fight, you can hit if you want to. The shell was still a little off, hitting the ground next to the Tiger King, splashing a lot of dirt.
"Reload grenades!"
Sasaki Mutsu was in the car and shouted loudly.
Playing tracks, these things are naturally better used with grenades, and even if they miss, they may be able to interrupt King Tiger's tracks by sputtering.
"Understood."
Taeko Kondo took an Mk.10T high-explosive bomb from the ammunition rack next to it and quickly pushed it into the chamber.
"Please, please make a nice smash!"
"I will!"
After Sasaki finished speaking, he pulled the trigger again.
The cannonball, which had just entered the chamber, was immediately shot out and flew straight towards the Tiger King in front.
The ballistics of each shell are different, and the degree to which the barrel needs to be raised is also different.
However, the distance between the two sides is already very close, and they almost all refer to where to fight, but they are not too worried about flying.
This time the shell hit the head of the Tiger King, very close to the track. Although it was not able to hit the track directly, the splashing effect of the high-explosive bomb exploded and broke the track.
"Hit! What a smash! ”
Noriko Isobe, the captain of the domestic duck team, immediately shouted excitedly.
But Cromwell's behavior seems to have angered the Tiger King. I saw that this Tiger King gave up its original target and pointed its gun at Cromwell.
The Tiger King soon attacked, firing an 88mm armor-piercing round at Cromwell.
That blow just now probably drained the luck of the House Ducks, and the shell hit Cromwell's turret.
Cromwell's 76mm-thick vertical turret armor couldn't stop the Tiger King's shells at all, and was directly destroyed.
Oarai lost another tank, and now there are only 6 tanks left.
However, the sacrifice of the domestic duck team was not in vain, and the tiger king, which lost power, was quickly set on fire by the leopard and lion groups, and was finally destroyed by a PzGr.40 played by the leopard lion team.
Nishizumi Maho is also an old fritter, and he soon saw the change in Oarai's tactics.
"The other side wants to destroy the tracks of our vehicles with small-caliber rapid-fire artillery first, and then use high-powered artillery to warp our Tiger King."
Of course, Maho also has corresponding countermeasures.
"Stop attacking the Panthers and Ferdinand, and clean up the other chariots of the Great Wash first."
Now the Tiger King of Hesse Peak is gathering fire Black Panther 88 and Ferdinand, because this is the only chariot on Daxi Mountain that can destroy the Tiger King from the front.
However, the Panther 88 and Ferdinand are not fuel-efficient lamps either. Ferdinand, after hiding his crotch and shoulders, was almost immune to shells piercing up to 200mm deep. The Panther F-shaped turret used by the Panther 88 is also full of ricochet power, and several shells that hit the Panther 88 turret were fired by the conical gun shield.
Interestingly, the PzGr.39 fired from the 8.8cm KwK.43L/71 pierced a little deeper than Ferdinand's frontal armor. And most of the turret fronts of the Panther 88 are also vertical parts without gun shield protection.
To put it simply, both of these vehicles were in a state where they seemed to be able to penetrate the battle, giving the Hessian crew the illusion that they would be able to kill them with a single shot, and constantly attracting the Hessian chariots to attack them.
(Hessian Commander A: It seems to have penetrated!) )
(Hessian Commander B: Alas, it would be nice to aim a little more!) )
(Hessian Commander C: Cover the target!) )
After Maho gave the order, even if the crew of Hesse Peak was unwilling, they had to turn the muzzle of their guns and attack the other chariots of Oarai. (To be continued.) )
