Almost all of the tank engines were reassembled, and only the one that Ciric worked on was left. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This tank is the longest motorized tank in the entire tank unit, and for this tank, the technicians decided to disassemble its engine and check the specific condition of the engine.

In World War II, the life of tank engines was very short, and the shortest of them was the shoddy Soviet tank.

For example, the T-34 tank of the Soviet Union's ace has a time interval of about 150 hours and 300 hours between medium repair and major repair.

This is also restricted by many factors, some can still run for 250 hours, and some only run two or three hundred kilometers before the engine is scrapped.

For example, the level of production of factories, historically in 1942, the Soviet military industry was withdrawn, and the average quality of workers also fell sharply, as a result, many T-34s in those years needed a major overhaul after only 35 to 40 kilometers of operation.

However, for the Soviets, this was already maintained, because the average tank did not live longer than their time limit for overhaul, and the tank life at the front line was not long, on average four to ten days, or one to three assaults. At that time, the average mileage of Soviet tanks before decommissioning was 66.7 kilometers, less than half of the overhaul mileage. Most tanks simply don't survive natural damage for a long time.

This also allowed the Soviet Union to come to a conclusion after World War II that weapons are made to be consumed, and they don't need to have a long service life, and it won't take long to fight a war anyway.

This conclusion may be correct in wartime, but in peacetime it is a pure waste, the Soviet MiG-29 RD33, the engine overhaul interval is only 300 hours, while the Western one has thousands of hours, so that the waste of engines increases the cost of flight a lot.

If the performance of the tank is insufficient, it can only become a consumable, if the tank is strong, then it is not, so, at the request of Ciric, the service life of the tank is very long.

For example, the current Panther tank has an average life of 1500 km.

One of the biggest advantages is the ability of precision machining, compared to the shoddy Soviet tanks, the German tanks are very sophisticated, especially the tank's engine.

The more precise the processing, the longer the life of the engine, for example, the engine of this era still needs to be run-in, but in later generations, the engine does not need to be run-in at all, because at the time of manufacturing, it has been precision machining, and many heavy truck engines in later generations are 100,000 kilometers long to change the oil, after buying a new car, the first oil change is 100,000 kilometers later.

At the same time, the life of the engine is also related to tuning, the same engine, different tuning, different horsepower, so why not mediate into high horsepower? The greater the horsepower, the shorter the lifespan, and there are people in later generations who can adjust any car engine to 1000 horsepower, but it only has a life of a few minutes.

The current Panther 2 tank is a version with reduced weight, and correspondingly, the horsepower of the engine has been reduced.

Will it be the tactics of a steady sea of tanks, or will it be the victory of quantity over quantity? For Germany, the latter is correct.

The Soviet Union won World War II almost by human life, and every battle, the Soviet Union won a disastrous victory, because the victorious Soviet side had more dead people than the defeated German side.

The Soviet Union had human lives, Germany did not, and German soldiers were precious.

Now, this longest-used tank, the off-road range has reached 800 kilometers, and the engine of this tank is disassembled to test the specific situation of the engine, can it run another 800 kilometers?

There were also several Maybach technicians who came from Germany, and for them, this was also a valuable opportunity, they used to conduct tests in the country, in a peaceful environment, and now, on the real battlefield, how is this engine?

They are all waiting for this teardown.

After the engine was removed, it was placed on a shelf, and as the screws were removed, the cylinder head was disassembled.

Inside, there are black marks, which is the carbon deposit of the engine, which is inevitable for a diesel engine, however, the carbon deposit is very small and completely within a reasonable range.

The underside was also disassembled, and the pistons and connecting rods were placed on the tarpaulin laid on the ground.

Several technicians, using tools such as calipers, measure the pistons.

"The wear is minimal, almost negligible."

"The oil seal is intact, and there is no oil channeling."

Soviet tanks, running more than 100 kilometers, have to be fueled, why? Because their piston is not well sealed, the oil jumps up, and now, the German machining capabilities are excellent, and the sealing is good.

"In this case, another 800 kilometers will be no problem at all." Eventually, Maybach engineers, came to a conclusion.

The engine of the Panther 2 tank, with an overhaul interval, can be set at 1500 km! Even, when it comes to the battlefield, if the timing is not right, it is no problem to run to 1800 kilometers, or even 2000 kilometers!

Cirek nodded: "Well, our tank, in terms of performance, can fully meet our use, and the quality is also good!" ”

In this era, the T-34 of the Soviets has not yet been finalized! It's time for the USSR to purge right now? If only there was some action and Stalin would throw Koshkin in prison!

Now, the most advanced of the Soviets, it should be the T-26, right? I wonder if the current Italians have encountered such tanks of the Soviets?

"Boom, boom." The tank engine was roaring, and the tracks of the CV33 tank were crushed over the field, and in front of them was a park called the Pastoral House.

Here was their main breakthrough point, and on the opposite side, several brigades of the Italian National Army and a part of the international column were holding out.

The machine gun of the CV33 tank was constantly firing, which was its only weapon, and at this time, the crew of the tank was nervous.

They know that their small tank can't be stopped at all, and this mobile machine-gun fortress is a good target on the opposite side!

So, when they were still thousands of kilometers away from the other party, they began to strafe! In case the machine gun runs out of bullets, they can justifiably go down and reload!

Unfortunately, this time, they didn't have that kind of luck.

When they rushed to a distance of a thousand meters, they saw that on the opposite side, in the gap in the fortifications, several steel monsters that they had never seen before poured out.
