Chapter 103: T-44 and the Centurion
"Well...... That's what I'm saying~, anyway, I'm just looking at it. ”
Seriously, it really doesn't pay to invest all your bonus points on a vehicle. After all, you have T32 on the other side, and the battle lane box is the real magic weapon for the girl.
The girl smiled, and then continued: "Then Lisi, pull out the list of eighth-level Zhongtan~"
The seventh-level heavy tan girl didn't think about it at all, because there was no one who didn't pit. Needless to say, the girl thinks this thing should be thrown to the sixth level. Although the Tiger P has 200mm frontal armor, the turret is still that urine, not to mention that this thing only has 100mm armor attached to the head, and the head is still so fragile, and the mobility of the Tiger P is a big problem.
And AMXM4 is a stuffing thing with thin skin and big stuffing, who buys who SB, you don't have to think about it at all. The T29 faced the same problem, and although this guy had 279mm turret armor and a powerful 105mm T5E1, the 102mmm/55° body was still a bit weak.
As for the Black Prince, this kind of thing that is slower than Churchill VII should forget it......
Finally, there is the Soviet-based IS-2, which has 120mm/60° frontal armor and can withstand almost all attacks from Sandas. But this guy's turret is indeed a big problem, and the 100mm+60mm turret is still a little inadequate in the face of Sandas's various attacks.
And the rate of fire and the speed of the turret of the body are a big problem, and there are not a few IS-2s who have been beaten by No. 4 in street battles in history, so this directly made the girl give up this tank.
And after the eighth-level medium tank turned positive without the comic ratio of WOT, the protection did not seem so bad, and the mobility advantage of the medium tank was brought into play.
What are the 8th level mediums? Centurion MK.I, T-44/100, E-50 and Panther II.
Don't complain about why there are so few and there are E-50s, the Pershing is still a heavy tank according to the age of 1945 in the battle lane, and the other medium-tanks are over the age of the tank.
Why is the E-50 a Class 8 MT? Because that's actually the level of this thing. The 150mm/60° frontal armor in the WOT is not right, and in fact the armor in the E-50 drawings is only 90mm/30°. The E-50 still uses a conical small cannon shield turret derived from the Panther F, which is only 120mm without a cannon shield, and the cannon shield can only protect half of the front of the turret, which has dropped to the average level of the eighth-level midtan.
The most worth complaining about is the firepower, which is actually 7.5cmKwK.42/2L/70. Although this guy has improved the stationing and retreat mechanism compared to the Panther gun, and the anti-recoil device of the gun has also been changed from a split type to a concentric type, and even a semi-automatic loader has been installed, it still can't change the fact that it is actually 7.5cmL/70. Because of this, the girl would not have looked at the E-50 at all.
What do you say is 7.5cmL/100? There is no real cannon in the history of this thing, so it can't be used at all, and the same is true for the 8.8cmL/100.
Allowing the existence of the drawing car in the battle lane does not mean that the existence of the drawing cannon is allowed, after all, these things have not left any data in history, and the possibility of data mixing after being built is too great, so it is directly banned.
As for the Black Panther II, the girl didn't think about it either, because the guy's frontal armor was only 15mm higher than the Panther, but the weight was a lot more, reaching the level of 53 tons. The power has not increased in the case of the Panther, it is still 700 horsepower, but due to the increase in weight, the thrust-to-weight ratio is much lower.
Rather than a Panther II, the girl would rather buy a Panther G and spend a few bonus points to buy a Panther F-shaped turret to attach to it.
Then only the Centurion MK.I and the T-44/100 remained, and the girl could only choose one of them in the end.
First of all, the comparison of firepower, the Centurion used a 17-pounder gun, which was still inferior to the LB-44 of the T-100/1 in terms of gun performance. Although due to the fact that the British armor-piercing projectile technology was one level higher than Maozi, before the end of World War II, there was an APDS (shell-piercing armor-piercing projectile) with a deep penetration, which greatly exceeded the depth of the LB-1. However, the already touching accuracy of APDS is no longer touching after the weight loss of the battle lane, and it can basically only be used in melee hand-to-hand combat.
In terms of protection, the head of the Centurion MK.1 is the same as the Panther, and it is arranged at the same 55 ° normal angle, but the head of the Centurion MK.1 is 4mm less than that of the Panther, only 76mm thick, that is to say, the protection of this thing is even worse than that of the Panther, and the ricochet basically doesn't have to think about it, and what is more worth complaining about is that there is only 38mm of side and rear armor, which is simply mad. The only thing that can be sold is the front of the 152mm thick turret, which can still fight in the mountains with the upper depression angle.
The frontal armor of the T-44/100 is 90mm/60°, and the equivalent thickness alone reaches 180mm.
In addition, the armor thickness calculated by trigonometric functions can only be used as a reference. Whether it can be penetrated in the battle lane is calculated using an empirical formula. The empirical formula is also uniformly tested by the Battle Lane Alliance, and the different thickness of armor at different angles of different shells is repeatedly tested, and finally the empirical formula for calculating the penetration depth of this kind of shell is obtained.
According to the results of the test, except for strange shells such as the T33, the penetration depth of the shells is less than the calculated value of the trigonometric function.
And the 75mm thick armor on the sides of the T-44/100 is completely sufficient, and it is still capable of ricocheting at small angles. The only fly in the ointment is that the T-44/100's turret is only 120mm thick, which can be easily penetrated by Sandas's tank even without HVAP. However, fortunately, the area on the front of the turret is not large, and the probability of being hit in actual combat is not too high. 1336
In terms of maneuverability, the Centurion MK.1 uses a 600 hp Rolls-Royce Meteor engine, while the T-44/100 uses a 520 hp V-2-44 engine. Although the Centurion's engine output is greater, it is important to know that the Centurion MK.1 weighs 42.5 tons, which is nine tons higher than the T-44/100, resulting in the thrust-to-weight ratio of the Centurion MK.1 at 14.12 behind the T-44/100's 15.52.
Of course, what really makes the Centurion MK.1 inferior to the T-44/100 is its 40km/h speed, and the Nima's 40km/h is slower than many heavy tanks! Although the No. 4 advance speed is about 40km/h, the girl who is used to high-speed Soviet cars still can't accept it.
And the T-44/85's 52km/h speed can be said to have killed the Centurion MK.1 in seconds, so it is already clear what tank to choose in the end.
------------------------------------------------------
PS: Historically, the mass-produced T-44 used 85mmS-53, so the text deliberately used the T-44/100 to distinguish it from the T-44. In addition, the information on the T-44 comes from Paplov's "Отечественныебронированныемашинытом II 1941~1945", and this time there will be no mistakes like the last T32.
