"The ammunition of this artillery is divided into parts, that is, the propellant and the warhead are loaded separately, so the volume of the ammunition is large." Another problem seems to be a little more deadly.

Because if there is less ammunition, it will not affect the battle before the ammunition is exhausted - this defect will not be visible until the ammunition is exhausted and cannot be fought.

"In addition, the shells of this gun are loaded separately, so the rate of fire is also very low, which is a problem that has to be faced in use." The engineer named another fatal flaw of this tank.

This may be the real weakness of the Stalin 2 tank compared to the amount of ammunition it carries: the rate of fire is too slow, and the hit rate is too low!

The hit rate of tank artillery in the World War II era was actually very low, except for the existence of the German elite tank crew, the starting hit rate of tanks in various countries was pitifully low.

Because the observation and aiming systems of this era were not very clever and there was no computer assistance - on the whole, being able to fire from a stationary to a stationary start is already a good result.

Under this premise, the rate of fire of the artillery has become an important indicator of the firepower of the tank, and it is an important tank combat skill to correct the next shell according to the previous shell.

German tanks have an advantage in this regard, and both 88 mm guns and 75 mm cannons have a high rate of fire, so even if one hit is missed, the gun commander on the German tank can immediately correct his shooting elements and continue to fire to hit the target.

In order to resist Germany's armor superiority, the Soviet Union developed this new tank named after Stalin, and in the selection of tank artillery, it followed the so-called principle of vigorous miracles.

The Soviets found a cannon that was far beyond the caliber of this era, and it served as the cannon of the new tank - it looked really good in terms of power, but in terms of other performance, it can only be described as ordinary.

That's why Soviet tanks tend to perform very well in games: on paper, Soviet tanks in World War II can be described as very formidable.

But on some invisible data, Soviet tanks really can't even be counted......

On the other hand, these performance deficiencies were not considered defects in the eyes of the Soviet Union, and those problems that greatly affected the operation were not problems in the Soviet Union.

"It's not a big deal, because our tanks don't really have many opportunities to open fire on the front line." Zhukov was very knowledgeable, and he said calmly.

"As long as it has the ability to penetrate German tanks head-on, in fact, it will be! It does not need to fire frequently, as long as it is at a distance of 500 to 1000 meters, a hit is enough! "He was a master of the Soviet Union's use of tanks, and naturally he had a deep understanding of the current state of the Soviet tank forces.

In his opinion, the tank units of the USSR were expendables, and they could lose more in one battle, so they did not need to be too refined.

So he continued: "Most of the tanks will be destroyed by the Germans on the way to the attack, and this is simply a sure thing. ”

"Because of this, the small amount of ammunition is tolerable, and even most of these tanks are not even equipped with the most basic amount of ammunition." In this respect, he is much more professional than these tank engineers and manufacturing workers.

This is the current situation in the USSR, it is already very good to have tanks, where do you dare to ask for more? In Zhukov's opinion, tanks are produced for consumption, and they will eventually be destroyed by the Germans, as long as the new tanks can be done before they are destroyed, it is enough to cover more tanks close to the German armored forces!

"How many new tanks can be produced in 3 months?" Zhukov looked at the reporting officer and asked.

"The number promised to be sent to us by the rear is not much, probably more than 300 vehicles......" The officer replied, embarrassed by Zhukov's question.

"Tell them that if this number does not triple up, I will go back to Chelyabinsk with my troops! I give them 3 months, and if they don't give me 1000 of these tanks, I promise to hang them on street lamps and hang them before Stalingrad is occupied by the Germans! Zhukov threatened with an expressionless face.

Winter is coming, the front line is no longer so tight, and at this time, Stalin, Zhukov and others, who have heavy troops, seem to have a firm grip on the rear again.

Beria in Chelyabinsk took a cooperative attitude, he restored the supply of some weapons to the front, and personally telegraphed Stalin to express his loyalty.

But how much this loyalty is worth, only he can know. However, Zhukov took advantage of this time and resumed the replenishment and replacement of some weapons.

For example, all sorts of "new weapons" were developed in the rear, and these new weapons were produced and delivered to Zhukov.

The artillery of the USSR was also armed with rocket artillery, and this is something that will happen, the Katyusha rocket artillery was originally invented by the Soviets, and now that the war is tight, it is not surprising that they thought of this.

Again, the nameless weapon, marked with only the letter K, was delivered to the front line and loaded on trucks, sounding very powerful.

Stalin's tanks were also slowly being equipped with troops, and although these new tanks were scarce, they finally gave the Soviets the possibility of confronting the German armored flood head-on.

You know, the current situation is that the Soviets have so few tanks that they have to deal with German tanks that are several times their size – the exact opposite of history.

At the same time, they were also improving their existing tanks, and the T-34 became the most produced tank they have today.

It seems that it has the same hope as it really has in history, relying on production to become a weapon on the part of the Soviet Union to save the world.

The most produced tank was the T-34/76 tank, which was equipped with a 76.2 mm gun, and was also an early model of the T-34 tank.

Although this tank has proven to be unable to threaten the Leopard, the main battle tank of the German army, at a reasonable engagement distance, it is still being produced one after another because of the maturity of the technology.

About 1 in 10 T-34 tanks are being refined, and they will use new, more powerful 85 mm caliber tank guns to solve the problem of insufficient firepower.

This is also something that happened in history, and if it weren't for the fact that the 85 mm caliber tank gun was not produced at a faster rate and there were some minor flaws in the design, this tank would have been made more often.
