What appeared in front of the girl's eyes was a boxy tank, both the turret and the body, all of which used the traditional vertical armor layout, but this tank was not a German tank, but a vehicle with a distinctly British style.

The vehicle is equipped with a Christie suspension system, with five pairs of load-bearing wheels neatly arranged on both sides of the vehicle.

Although it looks very similar to the Cromwell cruiser that Oarai got his hands on before, it is different in some details, such as the cannon of this tank, both in caliber and length, is much larger than Cromwell, and there are four pairs of towing wheels above the load wheels on both sides that Cromwell does not have.

That's right, this is the British cruiser with the designation A34 - the Comet

The Comet Tank program began in July 1943, when British tanks proved to be ineffective in restraining the German Tiger tanks, so the Reland Company was instructed to improve its firepower and armor protection based on the Cromwell, and the body was slightly enlarged to accommodate the 17-pounder gun, so that the interior space was more spacious, but the 17-pounder gun was still lightened, reducing its barrel from 55 to 49 times diameter and using a shorter shell, which allowed it to be installed in a smaller turret.

The new gun was called the 77mm High Pressure Gun (77mm HV), although the caliber was still 76.2mm for a 17-pounder gun.

The Comet uses the same Meteor engine as Cromwell, and the RollsRoyce Meteor Mk.3 12-cylinder water-cooled petrol engine delivers 600 hp at 2,550 rpm, enough to accelerate its 32.7-tonne body to 32 mph (51.5 km/h).

The vertical armor on the front of the comet's body is 76mm, and in the middle of the two vertical armor plates on the front, there is a 32mm armor plate with an inclination angle of up to 70 °, which is not good, after all, the comet was put into production in September 1944, and on the battlefield of this period, whether it was the Soviet Union, the United States or Germany, the main combat vehicles have been higher than this level, and the comet's most end-of-battle vehicle is not excellent in armor.

The side of the comet is only a pitiful 32mm, but fortunately, the comet's turret is still relatively hard.

The front of the comet's turret is 101mm thick, and there is a large 101mm gun shield protection in the center of the turret, coupled with the comet's excellent elevation angle of -12°~+20°, it can be said that it is a very good selling car.

The performance of the 77mm HV is not bad, and when using the hood cap armor-piercing projectile (APCBC), the 147mm data per 100 meters was scored at the Aberdeen test site in the United States.

Of course, Aberdeen is Aberdeen after all, this data is more or less watered, in Aberdeen, the Soviet Union's 85mmS-53 when launching BR-365B (APBC), can play 139mm data per 100 meters, and Germany's 7.5cmKwK.40L/48 in Aberdeen also played 100 meters 135mm ghost animal data, and the comparison can know the real performance of 77mm HV.

If it is changed to the Soviet standard, I'm afraid this thing doesn't even have data for 120mm per 100 meters.

In short, the comet's armor and firepower can only be considered mediocre, but it is sufficient, after all, its ghost beast's maneuver is not used to shoot at human stakes......

"I didn't expect you to get such a chariot over, I thought that with your strength, it would be no problem to get a centurion, but I was so looking forward to it."

"Centurion~" Liliki smiled and shook her head. "I have a few of them, but they're too slow for my liking."

Centurion slow? How do you let No. 4 and No. 3 Tu live! The girl couldn't help but complain in her heart.

"If you want to maneuver, why don't you just choose Cromwell? Isn't that a faster speed of 64km/h? ”

"Cromwell's cannon is not good~, whether it is a 6-pound small toothpick or a 75mm burning stick, it is not to my liking."

“……”

"Anyway, now that the chariot has arrived, it's useless to say anything, hurry up and help me get the chariot back~"

"Wait...... what do you mean to get the chariot back?"

"Of course, drive the chariot back~" Liliji looked like a matter of course. "Why else did you call you over?"

“…… Why do you think I'm going to do this? ”

"Intuition~" Liliki stuck out her tongue.

"Intuitively, you're a big-headed ghost! I don't know how to drive this, I haven't touched a British tank! ”

"Actually, it's pretty much the same, just look at the operating manual or something, then, I'll go up first."

Without waiting for the girl to reply, Liliki jumped into the chariot, quickly opened the hatch on the top of the turret, and rolled into the turret.

And the girl only reacted at this time, looked at Liliji, who had already entered the chariot, had to sigh, and jumped into the chariot as well.

Through the driver's compartment under the turret, the girl quickly entered the cab of the combat vehicle.

After entering the cockpit, the first thing the girl did was open the small hatch located in front of her.

"This way the vision is much better~"

The Comet's pilot has a small hatch in front of him, which does not allow members to enter or exit, but allows the driver to have a better view, and the girl naturally prefers to open the hatch directly to look around rather than using the pilot's periscope.

Of course, this is limited to non-combat situations, and this small hatch must be closed during battle.

"Okay, then let's start the chariot~"

"It's so fast, I haven't figured out how to drive this thing yet!"

I saw the girl holding an operating manual in one hand, and fiddling with various instruments in the cockpit from time to time with the other.

"Huh...... The gearbox is a Merritt-Brown ah, the model is Z.5? The gear is "

"It doesn't matter what you're doing so much, just press the igniter and step on the accelerator, and we'll talk about the rest when the time comes~."

“…… Is it really okay to be so irresponsible? ”

"Hey~"

"Don't sell me cute bastard at this time!"
