"You know what?" Conrad raised his wine glass and raised it towards Qin Chuan, and said, "They hate you so much that they can't wait to send a spy to assassinate you, because a thing you come up with casually will make what they have spent countless years working on for years become waste...... Now they can only consider tanks with thicker armor! ”

"Thicker armored tanks?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

"Of course!" Colonel Conrad said: "Otherwise, how can we deal with the ME63 that may appear in the future? THEY INTEND TO INCREASE THE THICKNESS OF THE ARMOR TO 150MM, AND IT IS CURVED! ”

Qin Chuan smiled and shook his head slightly.

OF COURSE, HE KNEW ABOUT THE 150MM ARMOR, THAT IS, THE "KING TIGER" TANK, WHICH WAS HEAVIER THAN THE "TIGER" TANK.

AT THIS TIME, THE GERMAN MILITARY INDUSTRY ACTUALLY FELL INTO A TRAP, BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE IN THE ENEMY'S ANTI-TANK CAPABILITIES AND CONSTANTLY INCREASED THE THICKNESS OF THE TANK'S ARMOR, HOPING TO BLOCK ALL THE ENEMY'S ANTI-TANK WEAPONS ON THE BATTLEFIELD, AND FINALLY EVEN DEVELOPED A "RAT" WITH ARMOR UP TO 240MM.

What the German military industry did not take into account was that such thick armor may indeed be able to block the attack of the enemy's anti-tank equipment, but it will increase the weight of the tank in stages, not to mention the overwhelming engines, roads, bridges, etc., which cannot bear their weight, so these tanks look perfect from the data...... In actual combat, it is far from being as beautiful as imagined.

They were even like the Soviet KV tanks, most of them were not destroyed by the enemy, but were abandoned due to various malfunctions or blew up themselves in order not to fall into the hands of the enemy.

"What? Any questions? Conrad saw that Qin Chuan's expression was a little strange, so he asked.

"Colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "I think, you must remember the armor-piercing depth of the bazooka!" ”

"Of course I do!" COLONEL CONRAD SAID, "IT'S AMAZING HOW DEEP THAT THING CAN REACH AN ASTONISHING 200MM!" ”

Then Conrad seemed to understand something, his expression changed, and he asked, "What do you mean......"

"EVEN IF THEY INCREASE THE THICKNESS OF THE TANK'S ARMOR TO 150MM!" "They also need to improve the engine, transmission, design turret, etc., but we just need to increase the charge of the ME63 warhead," Qin said. Then, everything went back to the way it was! ”

Conrad's expression froze.

Qin Chuan is right, as the so-called "one foot high and one foot high", the German engineers only thought that the armor of the tank should be thickened to the thickness of the ME63, but they did not expect that the ME63 could also increase the depth of penetration.

To make matters worse, it is difficult for a tank to thicken its armor, because the increased weight it brings a series of problems. However, the ME63 is very simple, and it can even be said that it is very simple...... All that is left to do is to increase the charge and adjust the balance of the warhead.

"So...... Isn't there a way to solve this problem? Conrad even stammered a little: "Does this mean that tanks are useless on the battlefield, and they will be the target of weapons like ME63 in the future?" ”

Conrad uses two words in this statement: "future".

From this it can also be seen that Conrad was a visionary...... At this time, the ME63 had just been invented, and the hit rate was not very high, and it is not surprising that as it became more and more perfect, it had a hit rate of more than 90% in modern times.

Well, coupled with its terrifying penetration, it seems that the tank does hit one when it comes.

"Of course not, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "Because the tank also has room for improvement, but the direction of improvement is not simply thickening the armor!" ”

"And what else can stop it?" Conrad was puzzled.

"Just like this......" Qin Chuan thought about it, and asked Conrad for a pen and paper, which Conrad carried with him.

While drawing Qin Chuan, he introduced: "The front part of the rocket body and ME63 is tapered, and it needs to hit the fuse at the top to explode......"

Saying that, Qin Chuan looked up at Conrad, who nodded and replied, "Of course!" ”

"But what if!" Qin Chuan continued: "If we weld a grid like a pane on the side of the tank or the front of the hull, then when the rocket hits the tank, it is likely to be blocked by the grid...... So it won't explode, and even if it does, it will be detonated in advance, causing its jet to be unconcentrated and the pressure to be reduced, so that it can't penetrate the tank's armor......"

"Fantastic, Lieutenant Colonel!" Conrad replied: "It's a good idea, and it's very simple, it can even deal with the enemy's magnetic anti-tank grenades......"

After a pause, Conrad continued, "It's just that it seems that we shouldn't have exposed this method too soon. Of course, we can experiment with it in secret! ”

Of course, Qin Chuan knew what Conrad meant.

At this time, the anti-tank equipment, that is, the ME63, was mainly in the hands of the German army, and if it was done too early, it would be tantamount to telling the enemy how to fight the ME63.

However, Qin Chuan knew that the German army was about to use this method at this time, because the American Bazooka bazooka should also appear.

(Note: The Bazooka was originally used in Africa for the first time in '43)

"Do you know what the biggest experience I had when I walked around the Eastern Front?" Qin Chuan felt that it was necessary to discuss other issues with Conrad on the tank.

"What?" Conrad asked, "The cruelty of war?" ”

"This is indeed it!" Qin Chuan replied: "But what I want to say is not this, but the number of enemy tanks...... We always thought that we had almost wiped out the Soviets' tanks, but in a few months, their brand new tanks appeared in front of us in droves! ”

"That's how the Soviets were!" "They always focus on numbers and don't care how much combat these tanks have!" said Conrad! ”

"Colonel!" Qin Chuan heard the disdain in Conrad's tone, so he asked, "Do you think this way of developing tanks by the Soviets is wrong?"

"Isn't it?" Conrad replied: "We have defeated them again and again on the battlefield, which proves that it is wrong to focus on quantity rather than quality, and our 'Tiger' can easily defeat Soviet tanks several times our own!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan almost spurted a mouthful of blood onto the ceiling...... He worked hard to turn things around in the Soviet Union, but he did not expect it to become evidence of the development of the wrong path of the Conrad tank.

But what to say about it?

It may be easy for modern people to understand that a very important criterion for evaluating a tank is its cost performance and output.

But the people of this age, they don't understand these things at all.

Germany, in particular, is almost paranoid about the pursuit of defense and firepower in terms of tanks, while completely or partially ignoring its cost-effectiveness and even mobility.
