"It doesn't seem like that's ...... good"

Hans drove the tank over and over again, grumbling dissatisfiedly. However, the fact is that in terms of maneuverability in the first test, the performance of this Tiger II can be said to be really unsatisfactory.

Although, when he saw such heavy armor from the outside, Trood had expected it, but its mobility was still a little poor. At least, there is still a certain gap compared to the Tiger Generation. However, in the end, it is still better than Amphitri's Ferdinand......

"It seems that the horsepower of the engine is not enough to support this guy......"

Hans had been studying tanks for a long time, and after just a few attempts, he knew what the shortcomings were. But the engine is not something that can be forced, after all, if the armor is not enough, additional armor can be added to it. But if the engine wasn't enough, they wouldn't be able to do anything.

"Then the next one is firepower, I think this run-up seems to be quite powerful......"

Trood didn't want to take Hilde, and someone like Hans who likes to be sophisticated, to study the weakness of this Tiger II, because although these things can't be covered up after the fact, at least for now, don't let Heard know everything.

As for Hans, I don't know if he learned what Trood meant, or if he also lost love for this poor mobility, so he also decided to start testing the next part - firepower.

Although he was not completely sure of his performance, Trood pouted and said, "If I am not mistaken, this main cannon is probably the one used by Marcus Amphitri." ”

"You mean KK43/L71?"

Trode's words piqued Hans's interest, because he knew very well that the KK43/L71 was the ace tank gun of their German army at this stage. Compared with the KK36/L56 used in the Tiger generation, it is much more powerful, mainly because it has quite excellent performance in armor-piercing performance.

However, although this main gun has been available for a long time, it is mounted on anti-tank destroyers such as Cheetah and Ferdinand, and there is no successful precedent for carrying it on tanks. When it comes to cheetahs and Ferdinand, both of them have a lot of mechanical problems, so they are not very wide in terms of practical scope. The latter, in particular, is not a successful design to this day, and there is some debate.

"I almost know why, but I don't know the result if I don't try." Trode patted Hilde behind him and said, "Give the order, just like usual." ”

As for the reason why Trod asked Heard to give orders, it was Hilde who was now in charge of the captain's position, while Hans acted as the driver, and Trod was responsible for the gunner and loader.

“……”

However, even when Trode went to call Hilde, the latter was still hesitant. In addition to the discomfort of this tank, it is more about the discomfort of this environment. You know, Hilde is a very scared person, and under the gaze of so many people, letting her give orders and commands is indeed a job that makes her uncomfortable.

But that's it, this situation is unavoidable, and Tlord also knew about her problem, so he asked her to do it. Because this step has to be taken sooner or later, and if there is some suffering, it is better to eat it a day earlier......

"Take it easy, just like you normally do when you train with me, and don't rush."

Trood was very patient with Hilde, who was trembling with excitement, even though the people outside had already begun to discuss something, but he did not urge Hilde, but just let her relax. As for Hans, he knew very well that he had no room to speak in front of Trode in the matter of Heard, so even if he was a little anxious, he could only endure it.

"Aiming at the target ...... at 11 o'clock"

Hilde's voice was small and, in the case of tank starting, almost inaudible. But Trode, who had kept his ears pricked up, heard it, because he couldn't hear it, he couldn't hear it with all his strength......

"Bang!"

Although Trode's usual position is not that of a commander, as a qualified commander and commander of an armored squad, as long as it is what needs to be done in the tank, he needs to master it. So for shooting, he may not be as experienced as Nattell, but a test like this is still not a problem at all.

"Hit ...... Penetrate the target! ”

Judging from the results fed back from the Cheetah and Ferdinand, when facing the Sherman tank, which is now the mainstream of the coalition forces, it can even ensure a certain degree of penetration rate at a distance of two thousand meters.

After that, Trode and the others tested his accuracy when shooting while moving, but I don't know if it was because of the slowdown or its own better parameters in this regard, all in all, its performance in this area still made Trod somewhat satisfied. At least in the future head-to-head confrontations, the firepower of this vehicle will definitely become a very crucial point.

After completing the other small project tests, Trode and the others also got out of the car, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Trood peeked at Hilde's expression. It was found that it was not as lost as before, and although it seemed that it had not yet fully accepted the new vehicle, it seemed to be less resistant.

Putting Hild aside for now, Trode and Hans began to inquire about their protective abilities. After all, what is in front of them now is a tank with all kinds of equipment, and it must not be directly used as a target vehicle to test the ballistic performance, because then it cannot even be described as 'waste'. After all, compared to the Soviet and American armies, their German army is far from reaching the point where they can spend money.

"What we can reveal about this is that the frontal armor of this Tiger II is 150 millimeters, and you must know what that means."

For the introduction of the testers, Trode can naturally feel the weight of it. Because the frontal armor of the Tiger generation is 1002 mm, but it is a vertical design scheme, and now this second generation is an inclined design scheme, then in terms of protection performance, it is not even a simple effect of doubling......
