Historically, the Stalin tank did not appear until 43 years, and this tank has undergone several transformations.

After all, in real history, Germany was only a master of the tactical use of tanks, and the quality of German tanks was no higher than that of the Soviet Union.

At the beginning of Operation Barbarossa, the number of tanks No. 3 and No. 4 in the German tank force was still very small.

The Soviet army on the other side has begun to equip powerful tanks like the T-34, not to mention the KV-2 tank that appeared later, and Germany has almost no weapons that can penetrate it, which makes the German armored troops quite helpless.

Therefore, Germany is also stepping up its development, and finally, at the end of 1942, the Tiger tank appeared on Soviet soil, and in 43 years the Kursk appeared the figure of the Panther tank. The appearance of these two tanks broke the qualitative superiority of the Red Imperial tank. The Soviets needed a tank that could go head-to-head with the new Nazi tank.

It was only in this context that the USSR began to develop a new tank capable of fighting the Tiger tank. The design bureau of the Cherinsko-Kilovsky plant in Kotin took over the task, and their result was the Stalin tank.

But now it is different, at the time of the invasion of the Soviet Union, Germany was already a herd of tigers and leopards, and the Soviet Union was certainly not just beaten and did not fight back.

In particular, the mass production of T-34 tanks made Kotin feel gloomy, and he always believed that it was not appropriate to rely on the tactics of the sea of tanks to counter Germany's quality superiority, so he was still developing new heavy tanks, of course, in the research and development, he absorbed a lot of experience from the T-34, and finally came up with the current Stalin tank.

Among them, the choice of weapons is an important point. The 76 mm gun has been proven to be insufficient power, they have tried the 85 mm gun, the 100 mm gun, and they all felt that the power was insufficient, and finally chose the current 122 mm gun.

This cannon, which is also the latest 122 mm cannon, is quite lethal, for example, when using a 25.1 kg cap-piercing shell, it can penetrate 160 mm thick uniform steel armor plate at a distance of 1000 meters, and 120 mm thick uniform steel armor plate at a distance of 2000 meters.

Although they have not yet examined it, the armor of the German tank is definitely not more than 160 mm thick, right? Therefore, Stalin's tanks can be guaranteed to be destroyed on hits, and there will never be a situation where tankmen shout that they can't be pierced!

At the same time, for added protection, they made the turret into a sleek, bulletproof shape, much more perfect than the T-34's design.

Unfortunately, although the diameter of the seat was increased, it was not possible to provide sufficient space inside the turret, which led to a rather crowded interior of the turret, with a measly 28 rounds of ammunition and only 10 armor-piercing rounds.

However, the price was worth it, as the Stalin tank had the strongest protection of a Soviet tank, and the inclined armor of its hull and turret improved the tank's protection. Specifically, the thickness of the armor in front of the turret reached a terrible figure of 240 mm effective thickness!

It was impossible for the Germans to penetrate Stalin's tanks!

Now, inside this Stalin tank, the commander Berokov shouted loudly to his own artillery commander: "Target, the first Panther 3 tank on the right flank of the opposing side, fire!" ”

"Boom!" 122 mm tank gun, with a huge roar.

At the muzzle, the brakes spewed back gunsmoke, but even so, a huge recoil was transmitted to the turret, and the entire hull seemed to tremble.

"Quick, reload!" Berokov shouted loudly, the split tank gun is very difficult to load, he must fire another shot when the opponent's tank moves in front of his side!

He shouted as he looked at the target tank in his field of vision, so clearly.

In fact, the accuracy of Soviet tanks has always been bad, even his current 122-mm tank gun, which is the same, although it has strong armor-piercing performance, but it does not have enough accuracy, it is about the same within five hundred meters, but if it is really fired at five hundred meters, they can only shoot once, and the German tanks rushed too much.

Not good!

When he shot, he aimed at the opportunity, and when the other side stopped firing, he gave the order to shoot, who knows, the Germans opened fire, it actually took less than a second, and then they started again!

His shells flew over, it took more than a second, and in this time, how far could the opposing side go? Probably leave his point of impact!

"Boom!" The gunner moved the shell, causing the hull of the tank to shake, and the field of view suddenly expanded.

Berokov's face was overjoyed, his shell, which did not hit the target tank, hit the tank behind the opponent!

The blunt-headed armor-piercing bullet smashed the Panther 3 tank and directly hit the nickel alloy armor.

In fact, the front of this tank is hung with composite armor, if there is composite armor to block it again, the Panther 3 tank can still hold it down, but this armor has just suffered the impact of two shells in the first impact, and the ceramic armor inside is almost scrapped and has no effect.

The nickel alloy armor is trying to block the attack of the opponent's shells, and the thickness of this side is 130 mm, which is the position of its most critical gun shield, which is converted to the armor of the Soviets, which is almost 160 mm thick.

Just on the thickness of the penetration of 122-mm shells!

The cannonball drilled hard inward, and just when the kinetic energy of the cannonball was almost completely exhausted, it finally got in!

"Boom!" When the shell penetrated, the molten armor iron around the shell entered the inside of the tank, and together with the impact of the shell itself, the Panther 3 tank exploded violently.

No one came out alive, and when the tank was penetrated, the tank was our best destination, and this is the war song of the German armored forces!

Twenty Stalin tanks, at a distance of a thousand meters, began the first round of fire at the German tanks, but only this one was destroyed.

The others are all flying, and at this distance, they simply don't have enough accuracy at all.

However, the Soviets were still rejoicing.

Wrecked, finally wrecked the tanks of the Germans!

All along, the tanks of the Germans have carried a sacred aura, and it seems that there has never been an artillery that can penetrate the tanks of the Germans, it is simply an invincible existence on the battlefield, and now, this invincible aura has been taken away!

If your firepower isn't strong enough, then you'll be on a thicker one! Soviet tanks, that is, brush calibers!
