Chapter 16: The Collision of the Plains (3)
Some words written before the editor:
After reading the book reviews, some book friends said that I was a black Su, but I don't think it counts.
There is nothing wrong with the accuracy of the BL-10 itself, and it is not so unreliable as 0.48. But put it on the ISU-152 and something went wrong.
The fighters modified from the IS series have their own low line of fire, which also reflects a very unstable situation from the side.
Moreover, in terms of actual combat, the guns of the ISU-122 and ISU-122S are relatively light, but the evaluation received from the war in the Middle East is very bad. Of course, there are other factors that go into this, but if the design of the ISU series is reasonable, it will not cause such serious problems.
The BL-10 was developed after that.
The surname of this thing was very good when it was tested, but after the ISU-152 was installed, the problem appeared. Because its dead weight is too heavy, the barrel is too long, and the line of fire is very low, it is also true that the ISU-152 has a low trajectory after installing the BL-10.
Moreover, at the same time as the warhead was front-loaded, a heavy BL-10 was installed, and the self-weight of the ISU-152 was relatively light, and there was a situation of heavy front and light back, plus BL-10. In such a situation, there are many times when the ISU-152 equipped with the BL-10 is fired, and the trajectory is pulled down at the moment of the gun, so the ballistics and accuracy of the BL-10 are not tested in the kind of data, not the problem of the gun, but the problem of the hull itself.
The heavier the body, the better, but the weight of the car also has the advantage of being able to offset some unexpected problems with its own weight.
For example, the BL-10 is mounted on the E-100 tank destroyer, and with its weight and design, the actual accuracy of the BL-10 should be between 0.38~0.40.
The BL-10 was a good gun, but it was also an indisputable fact that the USSR did not have a suitable hull.
This thing is placed on Project 268, and it is also not easy to use.
History is also like this, if the Soviet Union had a suitable hull, then the 268 project would not need to be equipped with a new gun, it is obvious that the Soviet Union also discovered this problem, so it did not carry the BL-10 on more hulls.
As for the M55-T1, I won't say much about the reason, the smoothbore gun fires ordinary AP shells, how accurate do you think it can be?
Below is the text.
…………………………………………………… Body line..........................................
Although many tanks and combat vehicles produced by the Osville Empire are constantly joining the battle from behind, they find that their attack ability is basically ineffective compared to various tanks that only show their turrets.
Especially for the two tanks that look very similar, even if their shells hit the other side, either the opponent does not seem to be affected at all after the forced explosion, or they simply leave bullet marks on the opponent's turret.
Some experienced commanders naturally know that the opponent's turret is very bulletproof, and the armor thickness is much better than theirs.
What are the weaknesses of such a turret?
They have no way of knowing for the time being, because it is difficult for them to think about such a situation while observing the attack on the other side.
However, they found that those "insidious" tanks could not be easily destroyed from the front, and it was possible to bypass them.
But the problem is that more than a dozen tank fighting vehicles tried to go around, but they were easily destroyed by fire from behind the enemy.
It was clear that these indestructible tanks in front of them were either delaying their progress or providing a range for the powerful fire behind.
If Zhang Shixin knew what these enemy soldiers thought, he had to praise the other party: "You can really think about it." ”
In fact, Zhang Shixin's main plan to do this is to make up for the hit rate of the T-54/55, Type 59 and IS-3 at close range.
In addition, the terrain in front of them is more conducive to the three tanks to play to the advantage of their turret defense.
If these tanks are allowed to output fire in the second line of defense, not to mention the problem of hit rate, that is, the defensive ability of the hull, it is better to simply let them "sell their heads".
For example, the Tiger Long 88 gun was able to penetrate the front armor of the hull of these three tanks with relative ease, but it was almost impossible to penetrate the front of the turret. Therefore, Zhang Shixin did this in order to give full play to their advantages.
However, even if the turret defense capability is relatively good, the tank troops on the front line are not without casualties at all.
Unlike the German Rich and Handsome series, the T-54/55 and Type 59 tanks were often affected by the penetration of the turret viewing window. Due to their relatively short bodies, the Oswelt Empire's tanks have a high hull, which has a chance to penetrate the turret observation window and pose a certain threat to the commander who is observing the situation.
And unlike in the game, both tanks have weak barrel shields that can be pierced by shells at the right angles.
Similarly, gunner casualties were severe, as the viewing holes on the sides of the barrel were susceptible to being hit by the energy generated by the forced burst of shells, as well as fragments.
So, many times, the casualties of the T-54/55 and Type 59 are also heavy, but it is difficult to see from the outside.
As for the IS-3, it became the tank of the first line of defense with minimal casualties.
Although the turret's defense is still inferior to that of the other two tanks, because of the very good position they occupy, many of their shells will be bounced off by the turret.
Although the tanks of the Osville Empire are ahead of many backward countries in terms of development in terms of overall extent, they are quite inferior to Zhang Shixin, a person who does not belong to this world, in terms of the elite degree of tank forces in his hands.
Not only in Gelsarin, but also in the encounters that broke out on this plain.
And the more obvious situation is that the armored troops that Zhang Shixin is now sending to the battlefield are more advanced and more effective than Gershalin's troops.
The T-54/55 and the imitation Type 59 can be regarded as half a main battle tank according to a strict division, and the lead is naturally not half a star.
But the IS-3 is no slouch either.
The IS-3 is one of the typical tanks that the Western world fears about the armored power of the Soviet Union. In the fifties and sixties, many military personnel in Western countries talked about the IS-3 and had a sense of being a tiger.
From this, you can imagine how strong the threat capability of IS-3 really is.
Although the IS-3 is not the most powerful mass-produced heavy tank, it represents the leader of the term armored torrent, and it is gradually retired from active service knowing the appearance of the T-10M.
Therefore, although the emergence of the IS-3 was much earlier than that of the T-54/55 and Type 59, in many ways, many people believe that the initial T-54/55 and Type 59 will not take too advantage of the IS-3 equipped with equipment of the same period, and even win and lose in half.
So, on this premise, the IS-3 can actually be considered a very good tank.
Zhang Shixin now feels that the fly in the ointment is that the defense capability of the IS-3's hull is still relatively weak. Even with the correction of science and technology, Zhang Shixin still knows very well that the Chang 88 cannon can still penetrate the head of the IS-3 relatively easily.
Moreover, there is a big difference between the real world and the game, that is, there is no such thing as a ricochet in the tank's fuel tank, and the external fuel tank is often a dozen.
The IS-3's external fuel tank is no exception.
In contrast to this situation, Zhang Shixin doesn't understand why the fuel tank can ricochet in the game, the mailbox is at best about 10mm armor protection, many times, some relatively large caliber shells, even if they can't penetrate the fuel tank because of the angle problem, their own kinetic energy can directly smash the thin shell of the fuel tank out of a hole.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin knew that a tank with an external fuel tank could not afford to sell tracks, because the problem of the fuel tank was too obvious.
It is because of these factors that Zhang Shixin forbade his subordinates to use too much amplitude to swing the car body to fight, and it is very troublesome for the fuel tank to catch fire, even if the commander is not afraid of death, he is willing to risk death on the battlefield to extinguish the fire in the fuel tank with a fire extinguisher, but even so, Zhang Shixin finally found the biggest shortcoming of the external fuel tank this time.
An IS-3 caught fire when its external fuel tank was pierced by an Osville Empire heavy tank due to angle problems.
When the commander was alerted, he quickly picked up the fire extinguisher next to him and opened the turret cover, hoping to extinguish the fire as much as possible.
But when he poked his body out of the turret, a violent wave of heat engulfed him......
One of the commanders saw the IS-3 burning at the back of the car, and the commander was swept away by the flames generated by the other quickly detonated external fuel tank.
They also wanted to rescue the remaining members of the IS-3 crew, but they couldn't run because the ammunition rack was very likely to explode, and in such a situation, they would have to drive their vehicle to a relatively safe area first.
There are many times when it is not that you don't want to save your companions, but that you can't save them at all.
When the other two IS-3s were forced to quickly reverse for a distance, the ammunition rack of the IS-3 was finally detonated by the flames, and the remaining shells exploded one after another, and the accumulated kinetic energy blew the turret into the sky......
The other two cars watched as the turret "pong" fell to the hull and then slowly slid to the ground, knowing that all of the IS-3's colleagues had been killed.
They were helpless that they couldn't do anything, and they could only pour out their anger on the enemy tanks and fighting vehicles......
Zhang Shixin naturally knows that he has also suffered losses until now. But what made him more concerned than this situation was that the enemy's self-propelled artillery units seemed to be preparing for an artillery bombardment.
In contrast to Zhang Shixin's semi-fixed artillery formation, the self-propelled artillery of the Osville Empire was completely mobile artillery to fight.
Zhang Shixin naturally knew very well that this had indeed effectively prevented the self-propelled artillery unit from being counterattacked.
It's just that the artillery support of the mobile surname also has a drawback, that is, the rate of fire is slow.
Zhang Shixin did not let his artillery unit give priority to attacking these self-propelled guns that had been exposed for an unknown amount of time, mainly hoping to eliminate these self-propelled guns running around in one fell swoop.
Right now, it's clearly a great opportunity.
Many of Oswell's self-propelled guns were equipped with high-powered howitzers on the chassis of medium tanks.
Self-propelled guns on the chassis of medium tanks have a weak point, that is, they are too light, which brings poor stability of fire.
Therefore, many medium self-propelled guns need to use a fixed shovel to reduce the impact of recoil on the hull when carrying out fire support.
Zhang Shixin was waiting for this opportunity.
"Self-propelled guns, prepare for fire countermeasures!" Zhang Shixin gave the battle order.
Due to the limited range of their own shells, the S-51 self-propelled guns and the GW Tiger P attacked enemy self-propelled guns at relatively close distances.
And the Panther self-propelled guns are aimed at self-propelled artillery units at a relatively long distance.
Zhang Shixin was still a little speechless about the vigilance of the enemy commander, but Zhang Shixin found that he was not qualified to say anything else, because he just endured it until this time before he came up with a killer idea?
Unlike self-propelled artillery units, which quickly adjust their firing positions, self-propelled rocket artillery quickly rains rockets into areas where the enemy forces are more dense just after they have been reloaded.
In doing so, Zhang Shixin did this, in addition to a factor of maximizing the ability of artillery bombardment, there was also a meaning of confusing the enemy.
Although the sound of rockets and artillery shells is different, it will take some time for an enemy who has just come into contact with rockets to distinguish the difference between the two.
As for why?
Zhang Shixin thought of people's habitual thinking a little insidiously, because the shelling of rockets was relatively far away from the enemy's artillery positions, so Zhang Shixin thought of a little, whether the other party would be more assured that his self-propelled artillery units would shoot steadily.
After all, adjusting the shooting elements is not something that can be done in a short time. At the same time, there is also a point that self-propelled guns rely on firing elements to shoot, and they must be corrected once or several times.
Therefore, in such a situation, if the self-propelled artillery units of the Osville Empire fired, at least for one to two minutes, there was no possibility of moving the nest.
Zhang Shixin was waiting for this opportunity.
He naturally knows how terrifying Hawkeye's ability is, but fortunately, this ability is limited to him, if the enemy also opens this plug-in that is strictly impossible, he might as well be realistic with the other party directly.
In fact, Hawkeye can be regarded as a satellite-assisted plane skill, and if a country has a satellite, Hawkeye will naturally appear. But well...... If it was that time, Zhang Shixin might as well be practical to engage in drumming planes.
"......" Zhang Shixin watched the movement of the opponent's self-propelled artillery unit in the tactical map, and the opportunity may be like this, so he must seize it.
For tens of seconds, Zhang Shixin waited patiently, and he forbade his artillery unit to shoot first, even if the other party had stopped moving......
When the self-propelled artillery units of the Osville Empire fired cannons, the self-propelled artillery units that had been prepared for a long time began their own fire suppression!
Zhang Shixin anxiously waited for the report of the results, but he knew that even if he was unsuccessful, he would have to put the firepower of self-propelled guns into the battlefield.
