In front of Andrei was parked a new tank that he had never seen before, but although it was a new tank, if you only looked at the turret, it was no different from the T-34-85 medium tank used by Andrey, but the chassis changed a lot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

First of all, the entire hull is much lower because of the compression of the chassis, not to mention the level of defense at the level of armor thickness, that is, the angle of inclination of the upper armor and the low hull, which has better defense than the existing T-34 series. Although the length and width of this new tank have not increased significantly compared to the T-34 series, compared to the T-34-85, it is almost negligible compared to the share of the reduction in height.

（PS； The length, width and height of the T-34-85 are 6.1M, 3.0M, and 2.75M, respectively, while the length, width and height of this new tank are 6.2M, 3.1M, and 2.4M. ）

Compared to the T-34 series, the T-44 adopts a mid-turret scheme, which may affect the depression angle of the main gun when it is forward. However, because the height of the body body has been reduced, this effect should not be too obvious. The benefits are multifaceted.

First of all, the design of the central turret makes it easier for the tank to travel on slopes, such as the T-34-85 and IS-2 used by Andrei and his team, which have to be placed backwards when descending from a large angle, so as to avoid damage to the main gun. If it's a safe time, it's not harmful, but it's just a bit of a bit of effort, but if it's a time of war, it's more troublesome. In contrast, the tanks of the Trood squad do not have this kind of trouble. In addition, the mid-mounted turret can also be used in more positions in urban street battles, which will make the tank itself more flexible.

"By the way, how is the armor of this tank?" Because the parts above the turret are relatively familiar, Andrei pays more attention to the parameters above the hull.

The non-commissioned officer who led the team for the two first saluted Andrei, then pointed to the head armor of the tank and said: "Report to the commander, the thickness of this part of the armor is 90 mm. ”

"90 mm?" Andre's eyes widened, and his fingers tapped on the steel plate, and the muffled sound from it really showed that the thickness of the steel plate was really unusual.

You must know that the T-34-85 that Andrei is using now uses 45 mm steel plates for the upper armor, and the armor inclination angle is 60 degrees, although this level is not very high, but among the mainstream medium tanks in this period, as long as it is not compared with the German Leopard, it is still quite good.

But now the tank in front of him has a thickness of 90 mm on the top armor plate, which is already the value of the T-34-85 after doubling, and its armor inclination angle is about 30 degrees, which means that its actual equivalent armor is more than twice that of the T-34-85!

"I'll ......," Andre exclaimed in a low voice. In fact, he fell in love with his shape at the first sight of this tank, and now he knows that it has made a qualitative leap in armor compared to the T-34-85, how can this kind of equipment that can only be had in dreams not drool?

"Hey!" Andrei poked Anton in the waist, bent down and said, "This thing is amazing...... If you can get a few, then I can't beat Trode and them down in minutes? ”

"Well...... Anton smiled slightly: "Although it has not been completely determined whether it will be mass-produced, I think there is still the possibility of letting our small queue install a few cars." ”

After hearing this, Andre just wanted to be happy, but was stopped by Anton, and he whispered: "It's hard to say now, let's postpone it for a day and wait until the time of the test to make a decision." If you still want that, give me a look, and I'll do my best. ”

"That's what I want from you!" Andrei pointed at Anton and smiled. It seems that Anton is really a roundworm that burrowed into Andrei's stomach and has completely guessed his thoughts.

Since it was just a simple observation, this observation did not include tests such as firing and driving, and Andrei had to take Anton to get inside the tank and take a look. Compared to the T-34-85, many parts have been integrated due to the reduced vehicle height. One of the most obvious is that the vehicle has been decommissioned from five to four crew members of the T-34-85. This made Andre almost jump with joy, because his crew was now four people, although it did not have much impact on work efficiency, but that empty position always made him look a little uncomfortable.

After a brief observation of the new tank, it was time for Andrei and Anton to go to a breakfast meeting. Because he liked the chariot so much, when Andrei was about to leave, even though he knew that he would be able to participate in the full observation the next day, he still seemed very reluctant. Looking at it like that, there was even an urge to ask Anton to take this chariot back directly.

"Alright, alright! My captain! Anton patted Andrei on the shoulder and whispered in his ear: "If you really want that, cooperate with me this afternoon, because the colonel is directly in charge of this matter, and with his help, it is not too difficult to get a few tanks that are 'under testing'." ”

"Oh? Have you inquired about this? Andrei was a little surprised, but considering Anton's exquisite appearance, it was not too unexpected. For this reason, Andre also secretly exerted himself in his heart, even if he didn't perform well enough in the previous meeting, but this time this afternoon, even if he wants to pretend, he must pretend to be what he should be, after all, this is directly related to his future.

And before leaving, Andrei suddenly remembered something, he turned back to the person who led the way and asked: "By the way, what is this tank called?" ”

"Sir, it hasn't been officially named yet, but I do know the R&D codename, which is called 'Project 136'."
