Chapter XXVII: The Third Series of Tanks
Another blizzard swept across the northern part of the continent, temporarily halting the fierce offensive of the GLP Alliance Army against the Glenshire Empire.
But things are getting worse and worse in the Grunshire Empire. It's not because the supplies can't keep up with the combat consumption, but because the Grunshire Empire has been fighting with the GLP Alliance Army during this period of time, and the armored forces that have not fully recovered have been completely lost in several wars of attrition.
Although the armor of the GLP Alliance has lost even more, in the eyes of the other side, these losses are just numbers.
With the superiority in quantity and the crushing of the superiority in quality, this is the armored forces of the Union Army of GLP, a way of armored combat that makes people grit their teeth with hatred, but there is nothing to be done.
Zhang Shixin also suffered a big loss here, most of the Type 58 and a considerable number of tank destroyers were destroyed, if it weren't for the good luck this time, the self-propelled artillery system played a considerable combat strength, Zhang Shixin was a little worried that he would not really be left in that damn snowfield.
Zhang Shixin's quality advantage is incomparable to the Glenshire Empire, because even the KV-1S can deal with most of the tank combat vehicle models that are facing the Glenshire Empire head-on.
This is why Zhang Shixin has such a big quality advantage.
Now on the mainland, the light tanks of most countries, compared with Zhang Shixin's VK-2802 "Shadow Leopard", are almost at the level of protection and firepower, but the difference between mobile surnames has led to the complete defeat of local tanks.
In terms of medium tanks, the Panther G's ultra-long 100 tank gun can be said to be the best in the world, but the power of the 75mm shell, even if it is increased by 10%, is at best the power level of the 88mm shell has not been strengthened. This is also an important factor that restricts Zhang Shixin's large-scale installation of the Panther G-type.
Another factor is that the cost of the Panther G has remained high.
The corresponding cost can produce more 58 formulas, which is also an important factor.
The comprehensive surname of the Cheetah tank destroyer is also very good, but Zhang Shixin found a very tangled problem, that is, the production of naked cars is actually lower than the cost of modifying the Panther G type.
That is to say, the Panther G modified Cheetah tank destroyer is not as cost-effective as the direct production of the Cheetah tank destroyer.
So, the presence of the Panther G-type ...... Now it's getting more and more subtle.
Not only that, but the direct cost of production of tank destroyers is often much cheaper than the total cost of the modification.
Zhang Shixin has thought about this problem, if the short-term cost is converted, it is undoubtedly more cost-effective to directly produce tank destroyers.
But on the whole, tanks that can be modified into tank destroyers are more in line with combat needs.
It depends on how Zhang Shixin chooses.
To be low-cost, it is still necessary to have a good comprehensive combat force.
Zhang Shixin has not fully thought about this problem, because it represents two different ways of thinking.
The Panther G cannot be regarded as outdated, and even Zhang Shixin has not found a better medium tank than his surname now.
However, if the Cheetah tank destroyer is directly installed, if there is any emergency, the role played by the tank destroyer may not be better than that of the Panther G.
Zhang Shixin certainly has a better choice.
Take Black Panther II, for example.
Zhang Shixin knew that the Panther II tank had a frenzied "laser cannon" with a super long length of 88mm, but the problem was that Zhang Shixin did not have any more good feelings about this tank.
It's not about the cost, the cost of the Panther II is only a 15% increase in the cost of the full Panther G, and compared with the surname of this tank, the surname price ratio is even one or two levels higher than that of the Panther G.
Zhang Shixin naturally knew that the Panther II tank actually did not add more accessories that needed to be developed, and many things could be directly inherited on the King Tiger or the Panther G.
The main reason why Zhang Shixin doesn't have a good impression of the Black Panther II is that the armor of the Black Panther II is not much better than that of the Black Panther G type.
Medium tanks are different from light tanks, medium tanks have to undertake the main combat mission in many cases, and do not have a certain protection capability, and many times Zhang Shixin has to send more additional support.
And although the cost of the Black Panther II is not very high, there is too much battle damage at all, and Zhang Shixin still feels that he can't afford such an expense.
Of course, the Panther II medium tank is not completely without benefits, because it can be extended to a panacea tank destroyer with an equally good overall surname, the Cheetah II tank destroyer.
Cheetah II in the game, with the elephant (the late type of Ferdinand in the game is an improved version of the elephant, in reality, the surname of the elephant can not reach the full body of Ferdinand's surname. Well, that's what a lot of tanks look like. Tank destroyers of one level.
But according to Zhang Shixin's feelings, the Cheetah II tank destroyer should be at the same level as the Tiger Hunter tank destroyer, both of which are level 9 vehicles.
It is almost customary for a modified tank destroyer to be a little higher in rank than the prototype tank, after all, the firepower of the tank destroyer is one level higher than that of the prototype tank.
The Cheetah II tank destroyer modified from the Black Panther II, according to normal circumstances, should be on the same level as the Hunting Tiger, which is nothing worth noting. Because that's the state of the game.
In reality, the Cheetah II tank destroyer has a very serious drawback, that is, the rate of fire is a bit slow, especially when continuous firepower is required, even if there is a modified automatic ticket system - a push-type shell conveyor belt, so that the loader does not have to run back to the ammunition storage bin many times to take out the shells one by one.
Why is the Cheetah II still a bit slow to reload in this situation? Because the warhead space is not enough, the integrated automatic ammunition delivery system cannot be modified. And because the engine is modified in the middle position. In some cases, the gunner will need to spend more time aiming due to thermal refraction.
The tank destroyer is not a self-propelled gun, it can directly open the Hawkeye, and in the case of direct fire, the thermal refraction of the mid-engine still has a certain effect on the gunner.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin should say that he is a little dissatisfied with the tank tank in the middle of the engine for the things in the rear of the turret.
You must know that hitting the enemy one second faster is more of a guarantee for your own survivability.
However, Zhang Shixin had to face a very serious problem, the tank and combat vehicle behind the turret, as well as Brother Mouse, were all things in the middle of the engine.
Many of the late German tank fighting vehicles exist like this.
Of course, it is not without a solution, the 15W engine heat pipe......
Zhang Shixin has been vomiting in his heart for this thing for a long time, this has to charge money, you are too dark,
Therefore, Zhang Shixin plans to install most of the medium tanks in the short term, and most of them will be equipped with Type 58, and a small number will be equipped with the Black Panther II.
In the case of tank destroyers, the combination of Cheetah tank destroyer + Su-100 has not been completely eliminated by the war, and it is still a very strong match.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin did not develop the Su-122/Su-122S, two tank destroyers with a faster rate of fire.
But in the case of assault guns, Zhang Shixin pointed out the Su-152.
The Su-152 is different from the game in that it can fit the ISU-152's whiteboard cannon.
However, the combat surnames of the two 152mm howitzers can be different...... Zhang Shixin really didn't see it. In the absence of technological corrections, the rate of fire of the two is still so bad.
However, due to the correction of shell technology, the armor-piercing ability of these two guns has been greatly improved, and the power is far beyond that of the outdated Grizzly Assault Gun.
Not to mention that these two guns actually focus on high-explosive grenades.
So, the Su-152/ISU-152 is an assault gun, not a tank destroyer.
It's not that Zhang Shixin doesn't have a good impression of the Su-122S, but the Su-100 tank destroyer can not differ much from the Su-122S except for the slower rate of fire. So there is no need for him to urgently install Su-122 or Su-122S.
In the game, the Su-152 contains three cars in it, don't think that there is no Su-122 or Su-122S, and the corresponding gun is replaced, which is the corresponding model.
As for the heavy tank, Zhang Shixin lit up the complete body of IS, and cleaned up all the hundreds of thousands of experience points obtained in the last battle.
The biggest difference between IS and KV-1S is not the increase in the power of the gun (there is no difference between the two), nor the increase in speed (IS is a little faster than the KV-1S, but the difference is not big), nor the improvement in armor protection (I found a very strange situation, sometimes, the KV-1S will strangely appear ricochet shells of the same caliber, and IS has long been worn half to death), but the improvement of mobile ability.
In reality, the steering of the KV-1S is not much different from the KV-1, but unlike IS, the steering of the KV-1S is simply scum.
Zhang Shixin remembers very well that in the last snowfield encounter, the KV-1S was hit with fuel tanks by a panicked PLS-H35 heavy tank because of the failure in steering. Fortunately, the commander of the KV-1S at that time came out of the top cover of the turret with a fire extinguisher and extinguished the flames, otherwise, the consequences would have been big or small......
If the KV-1S had the steering of IS, perhaps it would not have been easily hit by the other side with the fuel tank.
The problem is not only this, the KV-1S, as a transition to the IS system, is not necessary for large-scale installation.
IS, Zhang Shixin had to admit that IS is also a transitional surname.
According to the surname Neng, there is no difference between IS and IS-2, but the surname of IS-2M is much better than the first two.
Of course, Zhang Shixin knows that the production of the system must be a matter of high-quality products.
But compared with this, Zhang Shixin is more optimistic about the multi-directional extension of the IS system.
IS can produce the ISU-152, but the IS-2 can also produce the ISU-130 that can also take the BL-10 in the later stage.
As the name suggests, this ISU-130 is the ISU-II carrying a 130mm anti-tank gun.
Zhang Shixin wanted to spit out, that is, Sinia, have you also inherited Lao Maozi's style of acting?
Compared to this, the IS-4 is adjusted to the same parallel line as the IS-8. This means that IS-4 is the same level as IS-8.
As for the IS-7, it is still a top-of-the-line HT that cannot be beaten.
Zhang Shixin also found a very interesting thing, that is, the "Eight Brothers of Stalin", just like the game, the old five (IS-5 heavy tank) has become a floating cloud.
Zhang Shixin naturally knows that the IS-5 is not a failure, but there is nothing outstanding about it, and the surname can not even be compared to the IS-2U heavy tank.
It is worth mentioning that in the game, the so-called C series 110 is estimated to be China's IS-2U heavy tank, making some improvements to its own military system, and the others are almost completely copied from the IS-2U, if it weren't for the serb bald head really can't think of a better arrangement, how could this so-called 110 come out.
Therefore, in a certain sense, the C series removes the messy tanks in the early stage, and the C series cars in the real sense are probably only the things after the Type 59.
What T-34-1, T-34-2, Zhang Shixin had to say that he was really lonely, and even the drawings were probably selected by WG's own personnel.
In particular, the T-34-3 is almost the turret of the Type 59 chassis mounted on a smaller WZ-111.
Well, according to Sinia, "Did you see these things in the tech tree?" Seriously, you'll lose. ”
Well, I have to say, Sinia's words make a lot of sense.
Compared with the C-series assembly of the T-34 series, Zhang Shixin believes that the WZ-111 is still something with Chinese characteristics.
But things like the T-34-1 are crudely produced products that don't even have prototypes......
Well, Zhang Shixin came up with a very apt name - Type 58 Type B......
Because if it's more serious, as the boss of this level, Type 58 is the real T-34-1, and everything else has to be named later.
Zhang Shixin has to say that WG's ability to charge indiscriminately is also very strong.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin's proposal for Sinia opened several branches in Type 58......
"Forget it, I really can't stand this situation, are you going to fall off like a hair?" Zhang Shixin would not accept such a thing if he was killed.
He preferred to extend the Type 54 on the T-59.
A little less is a little less, and it's better than fooling people.
However, Zhang Shixin was a little curious, and Sinia said that the tank tree would be automatically sorted out as the version was updated.
How did she find out?
Zhang Shixin had to say that he was very interested in such a thing.
Now, in contrast to such a thing, Zhang Shixin is struggling with which series of tank trees he should open.
………………………………………… Dividing line ....................................
For the remaining three-series tank trees, Zhang Shixin found that the self-propelled guns of the F series and the Y series helped him relatively little.
Although the self-propelled guns of both series have their own highlights, especially the top-of-the-line five-round magazine self-propelled howitzer howitzer howitzer of the F series, the AMX-50 "Foch" FSP self-propelled gun, is the highlight of the highlights.
However, the so-called Chadilon 155 became a puffy cloud within a puffy cloud.
According to Sinia's words, if the Chadilon 155 series is converted into a gun, it is definitely not like this, and it is still a sealed surname, after the three guns are fired, even if there is an exhaust fan, the smoke is also a problem.
Moreover, this recoil force has to retreat more than two meters before it can be completely eliminated after firing a shot.
What's the use of that?
If the chassis is too light, the recoil of the gun cannot be eliminated in a short period of time, and the use of repeating guns on this thing is a joke in itself, because it does not work.
So the two tanks of the Chadilon 155 became a floating cloud, replacing the self-propelled guns of the AMX-50 "Foch" chassis.
As for the Y-series guns, the highlight is that the rate of fire is relatively fast, however, this is a game thing, and realistically, it is still a bit difficult to hit a rate of fire with this efficiency.
Moreover, in the usual style of British modified cars...... Zhang Shixin really doesn't have a good impression of the artillery with the same surname as the mobile.
Therefore, the Y system can be completely excluded in the first place.
In the case of the M series, the self-propelled artillery mainly focuses on the average, yes, Zhang Shixin feels that in contrast to other series, the surname of the M series self-propelled artillery can be very average.
The average mobile surname is not as good as the D line, but it is not as good as the F line, and compared with the S line and the Y line, it is slightly superior, but the lead is not too much.
The average power is lower than that of the S and D series, but it is much more powerful than the Y and F series.
The average accuracy is not as good as that of the D and Y series, and about the same level as the F series, but it is better than that of the S series.
However, because it was too average, Zhang Shixin also passed the M-series plan.
In fact, the M series also has a very serious disadvantage, many self-propelled guns are built with relatively late models. In this case, the M system is also passed.
In terms of reality, Zhang Shixin also didn't want to open the F series as a third-series tank tree, because the early stage of the F series was a series of craters.
There is no such thing in the game, of course, but realistically......
The F-series light tank and mid-tank hybrid lines were of no use at all until the AMX-ELC came out.
AMX-ELC can still be obscene and be a reconnaissance vehicle, but AMX-40 is a fat duck, this world is not suitable for it......
In terms of heavy tanks, except for the AMX-M4 (1945), which is a bit interesting for the F series, Zhang Shixin didn't think these things could come in handy.
Therefore, the F series is a super crater for Zhang Shixin......
Of course, the S series also has a bit of a pit, but in the early stage, there is also the "Hurricane Wild Mouse" BT series as a reconnaissance vehicle, but in the early stage of the F series, that bit of armor defense seems to be a tank above the middle tank level that can be worn now......
Zhang Shixin remembered a very good saying: The pit is old in the wilderness.
In fact, Zhang Shixin knew that the so-called pit was more about a tank and combat vehicle that could not play a role in the battle at all.
It is clear that most of the tanks in the early F-series fit this requirement very well.
It is not able to penetrate the opponent, but it is also difficult to defend against most tank shells. It's not a pit.
Another point is that the TD of the F series is basically a tank destroyer system, and in terms of assault guns, that is, a Soma S40 is more in line with this situation.
In any case, Zhang Shixin still decided to choose the F series for the third series of tank trees, originally he was more inclined to the M series, but the characteristics of the M series are average, and many times it is more than the upper than the bottom.
It's like the M48 "Patton", which is a bit reluctant to fight against the T-54 of the same class. Even the M60 "Patton" is not enough to fight the T-62 alone, let alone the T-64.
However, in terms of surname, the M48 "Patton" is a little stronger than the E-50M in some aspects, and the actual combat power of the E-50M can only be regarded as the T-54/55 level, so the Leopard I is the main opponent of the T-62.
This is Zhang Shixin's conclusion drawn from the arrangement of the science and technology tree.
Can the Panther II beat the T-54/55? The answer is, of course, very difficult, after all, the T-54 can be equipped with a 100mm gun, and the later improved version can even directly use the M62 tank gun, isn't this called bullying?
In the system, the next stage of the Panther II is the E-50M, which corresponds to the T-54/55 system.
This kind of thing is not surprising, the system refers to the special surname of Serb, and then adjusts accordingly.
Zhang Shixin was honest, a little speechless about this situation. But he found a very strange place, which was that there was an unknown tank in the position where it was supposed to be the E-50M.
It looks like a rich and handsome series, but Zhang Shixin knows that this thing can be ranked on the same level as T-62 and M60 "Patton", and it must be outstanding.
The T-64 became a special tank (it's hard to think about whether this thing is special or not, expensive is a word).
That's not the point.
The point is that after Zhang Shixin lit up the "Renault", by chance the M60 actually extended a flat-level tank.
M48H "Brave Tiger" tank.
Zhang Shixin suddenly felt that the knots of his system were not high.
PS: This chapter is mainly to sort out the later system.
