Chapter 245: Forced Rank 10 Medium Battle

A tier 10 medium tank! Was World War II really ......

Looking at the girl's suspicious eyes, Liz just swiped lightly in the air, and the data of a chariot appeared in front of the girl.

"It's a bit forceful, but this thing should be considered a tier 10 medium tank, 'there are really no parts to replace, so the T26E4 Super Pershing with AV-1790-3 and CD-850-2' is on board~"

“…… Damn, how dare you! ”

The girl really didn't expect that Lisi actually hit the idea on Super Pershing and forcibly made a tenth-level medium chariot.

In order to make up for the lack of Pershing firepower, the United States developed the T15 90mm gun with a longer diameter, and the T26E1 with this gun was also renamed T26E4.

Naturally, this change doesn't make it a Tier 10 car, and what we're talking about is actually a Super Pershing that has been temporarily modified from the battlefield.

In early 1945, Major Harrington approached his subordinate, Belton Cooper, and asked him if he could do something about it.

Major Harrington did not want to lose this advanced tank in the first battle, so he ordered Lieutenant Cooper to find a way to improve the armor of the tank.

Just packing some sandbags would not please his boss, so Cooper had to think of another way.

At a German repair shop, he found several large pieces of 38mm boiler steel, which immediately gave him an idea. He welded two pieces of boiler steel together to form a V-shape, which was then mounted on the chariot as additional armor.

Unlike Pershing's own 46° normal angle of the head armor, the upper part of the V-shaped additional armor is arranged at a 60° normal angle, so there is a certain amount of space between the additional armor and the body, which can effectively protect against high-explosive and armor-piercing shells.

Although the boiler steel was certainly not as strong as the armor steel, Cooper believed that this large inclination arrangement and the hollowed-out composite armor in the middle could effectively resist German artillery fire.

In this repair shop, Cooper also found a damaged Panther, so he cut a piece of armor 150cm X 60cm and 88mm thick from the front armor of this Panther.

Don't complain about why it's 88mm, that's how Cooper describes it in his book, and it's also this data cited in Yamaguchi's Ding.

After making a few holes for the coaxial machine gun and sighting equipment, Cooper was satisfied with the armor in front of the vehicle's gun shield.

However, after installing this thing, the turret was unbalanced.

But it doesn't matter, Cooper used the American ancestral turret matching method (refer to the back of the head of the M6A2E1, T29/30/32/34, etc.), and added a counterweight to the rear of the turret, which finally solved the problem of turret balance.

Well, at this time, a new problem arose, the Pershing's turret pitch mechanism was overweight in the first half, which caused the barrel to not be able to pitch properly.

But how could this have stumped the quick-witted Lieutenant Cooper, who cut two more pieces of boiler steel and welded them to the sides of this armor plate. With the addition of the counterweight of these two "little ears", Pershing's turret pitching mechanism finally worked.

After adding a bunch of miscellaneous things, the weight of the tank was successfully increased by seven tons, reaching the level of 50 tons.

Since it was not a regular modification, it was clear that this Pershing would not have any good dynamics. Among other things, the suspension system of this Pershing is five centimeters lower than that of a regular Pershing.

In addition, the Ford GAF engine it uses can only provide 500 horsepower, which is perfect for pushing the 35-ton Sherman, and pushing the 42-ton Pershing is reluctant, but pushing the 50-ton Pershing is a bit embarrassing.

However, the Americans were very satisfied, and in any case, they finally got a super tank with both heavy frontal armor and powerful artillery, which the people of the 3rd Panzer Division called "Super Pershing".

According to the accounts of Lieutenant Cooper, this tank took part in two battles. The first time was in early 1945, in the area between the Weser River and Nordheim in Germany, an unidentified enemy tank was wrecked.

In the second battle, Colonel Cooper claimed that the vehicle had penetrated a King Tiger and caused an ammunition detonation.

In any case, this is definitely a very powerful tank. Now Liz has equipped it with an 810 hp AV-1790-3 engine, which instantly solves the embarrassing problem of lack of power.

Even with a dead weight of 50 tons, it can still maintain an excellent thrust-to-weight ratio of 16 horsepower/ton under the surging power of 810 horsepower.

After changing the engine, the Super Pershing is definitely a tenth-class medium tank, and although the firepower of the T15E1 used is a little worse than that of the T15E2, it is still much better than the 90mmM3, and the HVAP is still fired in seconds.

As for protection, the frontal defense of this thing is no worse than that of Project 137, after all, the top cover in the battle lane is not considered an armored module, and the only weakness is probably the front machine gun muzzle, but how can it be so easy to be hit in actual combat?

Whether it is maneuvering, protection, or firepower, this super pan is at the level of the tenth-level medium battle.

Just by changing the engine, this Chaopan has changed from an eighth-level heavy battle to a one-level 10 middle battle, and I have to say that the tank is so magical.

Seeing the girl's hesitation, Liz seduced again.

"In addition, sister, this super pan is reset, and the suspension system is made of modern materials, I can guarantee that there will be no mechanical problems~"

"Buy!" The girl finally spoke, and said to herself, "Can't I buy it!" Buy, buy, buy! ”

"Thank you for your patronage." Liz smiled with satisfaction. "The chariot will arrive tomorrow morning!"

The girl's account was instantly deducted 31,500 bonus points, and the girl's 51,000 points were only 19,500 points.

"There are still 19,500 points, how to spend it?"

After solving the problem of the chariot, the girl began to struggle again-
