Chapter 49: M18 "Hellcat"

Words written before the editor:

Today I received a message from a former netizen who also knew him in World of Tanks to congratulate him on the New Year. I was a little surprised, and I started talking to him.

As we chatted, he said he was also in a game studio, and then asked me if I would be interested in joining as well, and I turned him down because it was too far away from the city where he was working in the studio.

Then I asked him, how is the situation?

He told me that the current game environment is very harsh, but they still want to sign up for the WCG China competition. I blessed him, but he said something that surprised me.

That is, the world of tanks of the national uniform can be said to be over.

I asked him why, and although the situation was very bad and I knew a little, it was not to the point of pronouncing a "death sentence".

He said something that left me speechless: there are too many cheats, and there are too many players using various plugins.

He asked me if I had used the plugin in the game.

I've told you the truth that I've only used whiteboard boxes and gone to the grass.

He asked me how efficient I was.

I also said straightforwardly: "1324, the highest level is 4043." ”

He was silent for a while, then said that if it weren't for the studio's poor finances, he wouldn't mind introducing me and renting me a small suite.

I laughed and asked why he said that.

He said that my efficiency value is real, there is no moisture, and my car is so low-level, the efficiency value can be regarded as a must-add to it.

I don't think it's that exaggeration.

He said to me, "Just look at the video on the Internet yourself." ”

Well, I opened a box, watched a few videos, and as a result, I didn't use any plugins at all...... Few and far between.

I knew what the other party meant by that. Many of the efficiency values of Chinese players in World of Tanks are filled in with various plugins. For example, what ballistics continue to display, what weaknesses plug-ins. These things can be found in many places, and the better the function, the more you have to spend some soft girl coins.

It's fair to say that it's rare for World of Tanks players to not use plugins at all, and while many of these plugins don't make much sense, they're a catalyst for a cycle of badness for the game environment. For example, the weak plug-in and the projectile source continuous display plug-in, can you effectively improve the game with such things?

The answer is a matter of opinion.

But one thing is for sure, can you use these things in a WCG environment?

The answer, of course, is no.

The friend ended up saying to me, "I've heard that there were several teams that had terrible results last year because they couldn't use plugins. ”

I'm noncommittal about such a thing, because according to my understanding, playing in regular tournaments and playing in the style of an amateur player is of course a miserable death.

However, I can't deny whether what this netizen said is true or not, because many so-called high-play videos, those plug-ins are vivid, and there is no doubt about it.

It can be said that the defeat of the Chinese team in the WCG World of Tanks competition is not accidental, but has many factors.

The biggest of these factors naturally comes from the so-called supervision of the air network, which allows the game environment to become worse and worse in order to ensure income, and they are to blame for this situation.

There are many other factors, but in general, a good game without a good environment will quickly decay.

Many woters know that there are many really powerful players who have left for many reasons, and how many are left......

You can see this from the number of efficient players in the wild team.

……

In addition, Ben Wolf is here to talk about the difference between the Gun Mirror and the highlight in the game.

Many people say that the highlights are better than the gun mirrors. But the gun mirror has two advantages, and the highlights are not comparable at all.

One is that the static field of view of the artillery mirror is said to be effective in three seconds, but many high-end vehicles (excluding artillery) have the four steps of stopping, aiming, shrinking the circle, and shooting after discovering the enemy.

By the time the Gun Mirror is active, and you are not yet hanging, the bonus vision range will allow you to spot enemies that are not too far away.

Highlights work at all times, that's true, but if an enemy happens to be in that area, you might not be able to see them until you die.

In addition, the Gun Scope can effectively avoid the penalty of shooting at a longer distance, which is the teammate lighting effect. It can be said that sometimes, under the same output situation, the benefits brought by the artillery mirror are much more than the highlights.

Because the system determines that your Cannon Mirror is active, the increased vision effectively negates the light damage caused by the Eye Car.

However, there are many cases to be judged on this point.

For example, a TD with a turret and a gun mirror is unbelievably effective when it is silently scouting.

Whether or not you want to fire an enemy depends on your level of experience and luck. (This wolf also did not try to fire silently with the T49, and was lit up by the opponent's No. 3 assault gun two hundred meters away.) So, this situation needs to test your luck. )

Below is the text.

…………………………………………………… Body line..........................................

After Zhang Shixin got the consensus reached with Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden, Zhang Shixin knew very well that the resistance he had estimated before would gradually decline because of the cooperation of the Holy Maiden of the Pope State.

Therefore, after communicating with the other friendly commanders, Zhang Shixin decided to storm the Papal States coalition forces that were in a stalemate with them.

The main reason why he did not launch a fierce attack on the other side before was that Zhang Shixin was not sure to face the public opinion orientation generated by the Papal States.

He didn't have much expectation for this holy woman, but after Zhang Shixin got the information conveyed by several countries, he found that this holy woman was more authoritative than the archbishop for believers.

In such a situation, Zhang Shixin's plan of action was also urged.

In these telegrams, Zhang Shixin found a very interesting thing, that is, the pope of the Papal State can be elected from among the twelve archbishops, but the holy woman can only be appointed by the so-called oracle.

It is not without anyone who has questioned whether these saints were really appointed by the oracle. But there is no doubt that many people who have tried to verify this aspect of the matter have found that they have returned in vain.

Is there a so-called god in this world, Zhang Shixin also asked Xinia such a question, Xinia felt the surrounding environment at that time, and she could only say a sentence that made Zhang Shixin depressed.

"There are still so-called Creation God-level powerhouses in this world, but this aura is quite weak."

Zhang Shixin was a little worried about whether the powerhouse at this level would destroy him, but Xinia knew that Zhang Shixin's worries could be said to be groundless.

Because the strong man at this level knows very well that when something that should not appear in a space, and it is enough to affect the balance of the space, this strong man must deal with such a thing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have much benefit, and he would even have to suffer quite serious injuries in the case of a space collapse.

It can be said that since there is no such situation, especially those zombies can only rely on conventional forces to blockade, which means that the gods of this world have also encountered a considerable degree of trouble.

Perhaps, Zhang Shixin's ability to come to this world is itself the result of the deliberate actions of these so-called gods.

It is also possible that the gods of this world have all been destroyed because no one knows about it at one time.

Zhang Shixin still remembers asking what can be said to be the stupidest question:

"Are there really gods? Is that master of yours a god or not? ”

Sinia just said at the time: "Whether there are gods or not, it can be said that everyone thinks differently. However, people who have the power of the so-called gods do exist. Maybe it's because of technology, maybe it's magic, maybe it's because of a coincidence...... As for whether the master is a god or not, I think he prefers to be called the Guardian of the Law of Cause and Effect. ”

……

It can be seen from this that the so-called oracle saintess, such a thing is quite likely to exist for Zhang Shixin, after all, the things he encountered, especially the elven dragon of Sinia, can also show that Zhang Shixin has a lot of things, and he can't have a completely negative attitude.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

Before officially launching this military operation, codenamed "Cang Xuan", Zhang Shixin made up his mind and decided that there was no confirmed technology tree after the upgrade.

This time he chose the American series.

One of the peculiarities of the American car is that it is very little affected by the Christie suspension system.

This is not to say that the suspension system of American vehicles is better than that of Christie, but that the suspension system of American vehicles is updated quite quickly.

The M3 "Grant" and the M4 "Sherman" and the like use VVSS, the full name is Vertical-Volute-Spring-Suspension, vertical coil spring suspension, and the later M4 tank uses Horizontal-Volute-Suspension-System, referred to as HVSS horizontal coil spring suspension system, M26 "Pershing" after the model, The Torsion Bar Suspension System (TBSS stands for "Torsion-Bar-Suspension-System") was chosen.

It can be said that the period of tank suspension that the American car has experienced is quite complicated.

This has also led to the fact that many models of American tanks cannot be mass-produced well, and the suspension system is the biggest problem.

For example, the T29 to T34 cars in the United States have not been actually mass-produced, and it is easy to find that if they don't have many problems, then a few mass-produced cars are not a problem. (There are no T31 and T33 models, either because they are upgraded to the tanks with the next serial number, or they don't have this number or the plan is not implemented.) )

The M103 heavy tank is the most successful heavy tank model of the Americans, and it can be said that its existence and appearance are the product of learning from the successful experience of the T29, T30, T32 and T34 and correcting their shortcomings.

And then......

No more, because the M48 "Patton" began to be upgraded, and the XM60 (the prototype number of the M60 "Patton") program was launched, so that the M103 and IS-8, the last rivals, did not fight, and they lost their own stage.

In fact, according to the actual theoretical combat level, as a mass-produced version of the IS-7, the combat capability of the IS-8 is much better than that of the M103.

Unfortunately, the two rivals have never really fought, and we can only guess who will be the last King of the Tank.

……

Having said so much, it does not mean that Zhang Shixin is fond of the M103 heavy tank. The performance of this thing in the game is still quite good, but Zhang Shixin's goal is not it.

In World War II, there were only two models of the most famous tank fighting vehicles in the United States, not the lighter of the M4, nor the pioneer of the M3 "Lee"/M3 "Grant", which first resisted the German zoo, but the two tank destroyers of the M36 "Jackson" and the M18 "Hellcat".

In fact, in the eyes of the Americans, these two things can be said to be orthodox tanks rather than anti-tank fighting vehicles (TD), after all, when the M18 and M36 first appeared on the European battlefield, they saw a behemoth like the Tiger and had to run around.

Why?

The 76mm-M1A1 tank gun is not powerful.

It can be said that the evaluation of the M18 and M36, which appeared on the European Western Front after the D-Day, is not much better than that of the M4.

But this thing can be said to be a devil nemesis in the Pacific Theater, Shenma 97 style, 97 style change in front of M18 and M36 is vegetable residue.

The M18 and M36 did not use the 90mm-M3 gun in the Western European theater, but this thing used HVAP (high-speed armor-piercing shells) to barely compete with the German zoo at long distance. (I met the Tiger King at close range, and the kitten waved its claws weakly, only to be slapped away by the Tiger King's paws...... It has also happened)

Of course, Zhang Shixin would not use the expensive and damn HVAP, anyway, the system technology tree gave him a better choice.

In fact, many Soviet-based and allied tanks in the game have been buffed with deep gun shells, but Zhang Shi doesn't care about this, what he needs is a tank tank that can quickly turn in and break through the enemy.

The M18 Hellcat was the obvious choice.

In terms of cost, the M18 "Hellcat" is easy to lose its combat effectiveness due to a relatively violent attack, such as a 150mm shell falling within two meters, a grenade falling into the turret, etc., and even directly reimbursing the vehicle and crew members.

However, the mobility of this thing is very good, and the turret speed is not as bad as in the game, so this thing has become a model with considerable weight in Zhang Shixin's plan.

After the correction of the 90mm-m3 AP shell, it has reached the level of 500m and 180mm, which is enough to deal with the enemy of many models.

Zhang Shixin knew very well that this kind of mobile tank destroyer with good surname and good firepower could play a pretty good record in many places.

Zhang Shixin also wants the M26 "Pershing", but the firepower of the M26 "Pershing" is not much better than that of the M18.

It can be said that during World War II, the victory of the American armored forces was not a qualitative victory, but a quantitative victory.

……

Now, it is time for Zhang Shixin to show the advantages of American goods...... (To be continued.) )
