Chapter 1146: The Bounce Flies
Modlin heard an explosion near him, he didn't turn his turret, but heard a report from the radio about a tank at the back of the formation, and one of the tanks of his own formation had been destroyed by the other side.
This was the first time that a German tank was destroyed by the other side, and Modlin knew very well that it was not the big-headed KV-2 that destroyed his tank, but the even lower Stalin's tank!
Compared to the toilet head, Stalin's tank is a greater threat to them, because this tank can destroy their own combat vehicles!
"Attention, take out those Stalin tanks first, they will have more firepower!" Mordrin shouted over the radio, and at the same time, on his chariot, the gun commander had already begun to aim.
The Stalin tank, at this time, the black smoke of the barrel had just dissipated, and that cannon brought too much shock to the German tank crew, and the Soviets' tanks could actually penetrate their own tanks?
Aim! Although the opponent is low, you can also aim calmly, and in this kind of head-on confrontation, as long as you accurately determine the distance, you will have a fairly high certainty!
"Fire!"
With Mordlin's order, the gun commander stepped on the firing device fiercely, and the entire body of the Tiger tank was trembling, although the smoke extractor on the gun body began to smoke, some smoke still jumped into the car, and the entire turret smelled of gunsmoke.
Modlin stared nervously at his sight device, he needed to make sure his tank could penetrate the opponent!
The tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet flew towards the Stalin tank, and it took only 0.8 seconds for it to make close contact with the turret of the Stalin tank.
If you compare it only from the data, this latest 88 mm shell armor-piercing projectile has a penetration depth of more than 200 mm, and when converted into this kind of cast turret in the Soviet Union, the penetration depth will exceed 240 mm, that is, the 88 mm tank gun is enough to penetrate the thickest turret armor of the Soviets' tanks.
However, the actual battle is definitely not such a data comparison, and there will be many scenarios.
Like now.
Historically, the Stalin tank has undergone many improvements, from the Stalin-1 to the Stalin-8, and the appearance has also changed greatly.
The turret of the early Stalin tank, which resembled an enlarged T-34, was transformed into a tortoiseshell-like shape in the later stages, making the interior extremely crowded and at the same time obtaining an excellent bullet-proof appearance.
And now, due to the huge pressure brought about by the production of the T-34, Kotin and his team are fighting day and night, and they actually got this spherical turret out in advance, which is very similar to the turret of the 59 tank in later generations.
The top of such a turret is a smooth spherical over, and at the same time it is convenient to increase the effective thickness of the turret.
The tungsten alloy core, flying from a distance, spins as it flies.
Yes, any shell, as long as it is fired from a rifled gun, must be rotated, and rotation is to increase the stability of flight, which is a creation that began with rifled guns.
And the current tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile is no exception, at this time, it spun and pierced the spherical turret of the Stalin tank, and the moment it made contact with the turret, suddenly, its feet slipped.
In general, when the angle of the armor-piercing projectile is too large or it is subjected to a non-axial force after contacting the armor, the vertical force directly acting on the armor contact point will be greatly reduced, resulting in the inability to pierce the armor or even ricochet.
The blunt-nosed armor-piercing projectile, which was popular in this era, was designed to avoid this. Tilted armor increases the effective thickness and increases the chance of the opponent's shells riquiring, while blunt-nosed armor-piercing shells provide a positive moment that allows the shells to revert to vertical in.
However, the shell-piercing projectile does not have this method, and at the same time, due to its rotation, it will have no effect on the axial force of the shell only when it hits the armor vertically, and after a slight angle of incidence, it will have a great centrifugal effect.
The previous tank, although there was also inclined armor on the front, was not as perverted as the spherical turret of the Stalin tank, and at this time, the angle of contact between the armor-piercing shell and the turret was a large obtuse angle, more than one hundred and forty degrees!
In this case, the warhead of the shell slipped and left only a shallow trace on the opponent's turret and flew away!
If it is fired vertically, the tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile can completely penetrate the Stalin tank, but now, the good bomb-avoiding shape of the Stalin tank makes this armor-piercing projectile ricochet.
Modlin smashed his fist on the side wall next to him, his eyes were red: "Speed up, accelerate the formation!" ”
Just now, he saw the vibration of the opponent's tank with his own eyes, indicating that his own side had hit the other party, but he couldn't penetrate the other party.
Since you can't penetrate the opponent at this distance, you can hit it closely, or even go around to the opponent's side to hit, and you don't believe that you can't penetrate the opponent.
Modlin is ruthless, and he can be pierced by the opponent, but his own side can't penetrate the opponent, which is quite a bad feeling.
Fortunately, the number of such tanks is scarce, and if all the tanks coming from the first row are this kind of tanks now, then my own formation will probably lose most of it in the impact.
It's scary to think about.
The entire bell-shaped formation was advancing rapidly, and the tankers were also holding back their anger.
"Reloaded!" Here, Berokov's tanks were reloaded again, and he was applauding as he looked at the German tanks that rushed up like crazy.
Just now, the sound of impact from outside means that your side has been hit, but your own sturdy tank has blocked the attack of the Germans, so now, you don't have to worry about being penetrated, your only problem is that you are reloading too slowly!
The opponent had already rushed to a distance of 200 meters, and the loader was able to slowly stuff the shell into the chamber, and Berokov couldn't wait to give the order: "Aim at the Tiger tank in the middle of the opponent and fire!" ”
For Soviet tanks, the threat of the Tiger tank is also quite large, they must eliminate this biggest threat, and, at this distance, the hit rate of their tank guns is definitely quite high.
"Boom!" The 122-mm tank gun once again let out an earth-shattering roar.
The shells flew towards Modlin's Tiger tank, with a sharp roar, and quickly pounced, the Stalin tank was destined to be a comparable opponent to the Tiger tank.
