Chapter 1148: The Problem of Cannonballs

Berokov knew very well in his heart that in loading shells and rotating the turret, of course, it was necessary to rotate the turret first, and only in this way could the strongest main armor in front of the turret be pointed at the most dangerous place.

After turning around, it's not too late to reload the shells, and if he doesn't turn around first, then maybe he won't have the opportunity to reload the shells and open fire.

However, he still did not expect that the accident happened again.

When the pain on his foot came again, he waved his fist and slammed it on the bridge of the loader's nose: "Kodia, when this battle is over, you will give me a roll back to Central Asia!" ”

It's crushing anyway, and I don't mind doing it again, and when I go back, I'm afraid this foot will be useless.

With such a delay, the rotation of his tank's turret slowed down.

At this time, the bell-shaped formation of the German tanks that passed by him, the turrets were turning in unison, which was quite pleasing to the eye if viewed from the sky.

The tanks on both sides turned the turrets to each side, and the tanks were still moving forward at high speed, and the turrets were already brushing backwards.

Hit each other in the back of the head!

In the era of World War II, because there was no advanced fire control system, the tank could not shoot while on the move, but later, it became impossible to turn the turret while on the move.

What is the use of a tank if it is not possible to turn the turret on the move?

However, on the other hand, the turret of the Tiger tank does not rotate very quickly.

In fact, this is related to the weight of the turret, the early Peeding small tank, the turret is not heavy in total, just rely on the hand crank, but when the turret is more than ten tons, it is very slow to rely on the hand crank, and the gunner consumes too much physical strength, which is not suitable for combat, at this time, it is necessary to rely on other ways.

The West generally prefers electric, while Germany prefers hydraulics.

Historically, even with a hydraulically driven turret, the Tiger turret still did not rotate fast, taking one minute a week, and improving to the Tiger King, it was still 45 seconds. In comparison, Sherman, who spins the fastest, is said to take only ten seconds.

Because of the slow rotation of the turret, the German tankmen had to create other tactics, such as center rotation, in which the turret rotated and the hull rotated to make the muzzle point more quickly at the target.

This was the case in history, and now, Germany's equipment is different from history.

For example, as early as more than ten years of development of the Panther tank, the German tank turret began to use the hydraulic drive method, more than ten years, in the turret hydraulic drive, German tank designers have long been familiar with the road, to the Tiger tank, the power of the turret hydraulic drive system has been increased, the turret rotates one week, only 25 seconds.

At the same time, the hand-cranked turret is also the mode of operation to be retained, after all, the hydraulic drive only rotates the turret to the approximate orientation, and the fine mediation still needs to be driven by the hand-crank.

The gun commander and the commander of the car both have crank handles by their side, and in extreme cases, if the two of them shake together, it will be faster.

For example, now, while being hydraulically driven, the two of them are also cranking the shaker with their hands, plus the drive of the two, the turret rotates at the fastest speed, and it can be rotated in 20 seconds, and now it only takes more than ten seconds to rotate half a circle.

When they turned, the tanks of the Soviets, the turrets were just beginning to turn.

Chance!

The armor-piercing shells had already been loaded, and at this moment, Mordrin shouted loudly: "Fire!" ”

The four tanks on this side of the formation all fired at this Stalin tank, while the tanks on the other side of the formation aimed at another Stalin tank nearby, with its round brain, waiting to withstand the wrath of the German armored forces!

"Boom!" With a roar from the muzzle, the tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile threw away the butt behind it and continued to fly forward!

At this time, the distance between the two sides was only two hundred meters, and there was almost no need to wait, and the armor-piercing shells accurately hit the back of the opponent's turret.

The front is not broken, isn't it okay in the back?

The thickness of the armor in the back, it is certainly much less than in the front! This opportunity is fleeting, because the other side is also turning the turret!

With the hope of the German armorers, the armor-piercing shell made close contact with the turret, and then, it only left a shallow crater in the turret, which was bounced open again!

One, two, three, four, these four armor-piercing shells, all hit, but all were ejected.

At this moment, Mordlin's mind did not collapse, he was thinking quickly, and then continued to give the order: "Blunt armor-piercing bullets, load!" Fast! ”

Your own armor-piercing projectile can't penetrate the opponent's turret, it's definitely not because the armor-piercing projectile is not deep enough, if the front can't penetrate it, there are still some people who say, now go around to the side, and it can't be penetrated, then it can't be said, there must be a problem, if it's not good, it's out of the shell-piercing shell, so try to use your own ordinary armor-piercing bullet instead!

"Understood, blunt-headed armor-piercing bullets, reload!" The loader shouted loudly, moved new shells from behind the turret, and stuffed them in.

The training is well-trained, and the internal space of the German tank is sufficient, so the tanker does not have to deliberately choose a small man, and the loader is one of the strongmen.

On both arms, the green tendons burst out, and a blunt-headed armor-piercing bullet was stuffed in, closing the gun door, and the whole process took less than ten seconds.

A small man of 1.5 meters compares his strength with a big man of 1.8 meters?

Blunt-headed armor-piercing shells, shoot!

"Boom!" In less than fifteen seconds, the Tiger tank opened fire again.

At this time, the target Stalin tank, the turret had already turned ninety degrees. The sides of their turrets, facing the muzzles of German tanks.

In an instant, the blunt-headed armor-piercing projectile smashed into the side of the turret of Stalin's tank with a sharp roar.

The outside of this turret, from all four directions, is almost the same smooth bullet-avoiding shape, and the blunt-headed armor-piercing projectile was originally at a large angle after hitting the side, but it was not bounced off, but instantly turned an angle, perpendicular to the side of the turret.

Relying on the huge kinetic energy, it began to drill into it vigorously.

Inclined armor does not need to be particularly thick, as long as the angle is appropriate, the opponent is an inclined plane in the process of armor piercing, which can greatly increase the armor-piercing distance of the armor-piercing projectile, that is, increase the effective thickness.

And now, the blunt-nosed armor-piercing projectile turned positive, that is, the vertical infusion, the side armor of the turret, the vertical thickness, did not exceed fifty millimeters.

And this kind of armor-piercing shell fired by the 88-mm gun has a penetration depth of hundreds of millimeters, and the shell penetrates into it with almost no effort.

"Boom!"
