Misconceptions about the Spread of World War II (Part I)

1. Tiger tank 3o million man-hours, Leopard 200,000 man-hours, T34 5,000 man-hours.

This is a very widespread statement about the poison, and its source can be as far back as the 9495 period, when I read this statement in a certain military magazine. The main reason is that the Soviet-German working hours calculation method is different, but the specific number is extremely controversial on the Internet. But it is far less exaggerated than the 50 or 60 times more man-hours of the T34.

And the man-hours of the No. 4 tank are even less than that of the T34 - there are 3,000, 4,000 man-hours.

The T34 had 5,000 man-hours, but it was the 1942 Stalingrad version, the quality was so bad that it didn't even have even the most basic aiming equipment, and it had to be fired with a rangefinder machine gun.

The production time of the Haw Par for the T34 is complicated in several places: the armor steel of the Haw Par is made of binding and case hardening, which is much more complex than that of the T34, which mainly consists of cast turrets. The overlapping wheels add to the hassle of maintenance and production, but of course, the benefits are excellent ergonomics and comfort. However, the weight of the tiger and leopard is really sorry for their defense - the leopard is about 45 tons, and the weight of the M26 is about the same, but the defense and attack of the panther are not as good as the M26. There is only a slight advantage in maneuverability.

The statement about Haw Par's working hours is just my family's words, and the exact number of specific circumstances has not been able to be found due to incomplete information. This question has been discussed in many places, but no definite answer has been found. If anyone can come up with accurate information and numbers, it will be a great merit.

2。 The M4 tank lighter. This statement is deliberately exaggerated by some German fans. Judging by the memoirs of the Maozi tank crews of World War II, their evaluation of its safety is even higher than that of the T34.

Some idiots say that the M4 tank catches fire at the slightest spark. In fact, all tanks of World War II, as long as they used gasoline engines, were the same at this point. In addition to the T34 with diesel and Japanese tanks. As strong as a panther or a tiger, once the power chamber is hit, it is also impossible to avoid the fate of fire.

In fact, the M4 tank is quite an excellent tank, and its potential for improvement is huge. The notoriety of the lighter lies mainly in the period when he arrived in the Ardennes after 1944. Because he was "too comfortable" in the early stage - all the gadgets he bullied in Africa were the gadgets of No. 3 and No. 4, and although there were tigers there, there were only a few. Because of neglect, the potential of armor and firepower was not fully tapped. During the time when D-Day arrived in the Ardennes, after the M4 was beaten by the tiger and leopard, the Mi Demon comprehensively improved and upgraded it - thickened the armor, replaced it with a long-barreled 76 gun, and used the wet method to preserve ammunition. Its performance has changed dramatically. Its final strongest modification of World War II, M4A3E2, its frontal protection even reached 12O~15O mm, and it even won slightly after the Panther. The armor-piercing performance of the long-barreled 76 gun is also slightly better than that of the T34-85 line. Combined with its best fire control and hunting performance in World War II, its comprehensive capabilities are slightly higher than those of the T34-85 - of course, fighting tigers and leopards is still a bit difficult, but it is not as good as it was at the beginning. During World War II, some of the improved and variant cars of the M4 on the battlefield, such as Dumbo, equipped with 1O5 howitzers, and Israel's improved Sherman after World War II. There is a lot of discussion about this jar, so I won't repeat it. \

All kinds of tanks in World War II, when they first appeared, actually had all kinds of problems, such as the famous Black Panther, the power plant caught fire inexplicably, and like the M4, it was also a hit. During the Battle of Kursk, a large number of Panthers were not shot through, but were hit by a shot, the tank was fine, but the car inexplicably burned, the reason was that there was a problem with the fuel supply system. When the T34 first came into play, the two-man turret of the pit father led the tank to the point that the tank could not wield real combat power. After the baptism of war, the rear improved the design according to the opinions of the front-line troops, and both tanks above became classics.

M4's reputation is not very good, and I personally think there are several reasons.

The first is that he entered the war too late -- the real large-scale participation in the war and the severe test of the war were the battles after June 6, 1944, and the tank battles in the Western European theater were fought for less than a year. After the Ardennes Campaign, after the various problems that broke out in the first half of the year, they began to solve the problems in this regard, and when the M4 solved all these problems, the whole long-barreled cannon, thick armor, wet preservation, and greatly improved performance of the M4, it was too late to show Xiàn, the war was over, so the most impressive thing that everyone remembers, is only his notoriety in the early stage.

Another reason, in China, about World War II, there are a lot of German fans, holding tigers and leopards, it is not strange that they are black m4, and the second most is wool fans, they hold T34, and naturally they don't disdain m4. At the same time, I offended the two groups of German fans and Mao fans, M4 had a problem in the early stage, and everyone caught a beating and was excessively magnified. (It's a personal statement, just laugh and laugh.) Don't get too serious. )

3: The technology tree is the highest in Germany

In fact, during World War II, Germany's military science and technology could only rank third at most, and Britain and Mi were better than him. The only tech tree that can be identified as much higher than the British meter is the V-series rocket. Of course, little things like Tekken and MP44 are also counted.

Before World War II, Germany was subject to the Treaty of Versailles, and almost all the development of military science and technology was suppressed. This led to the extremely poor weaponry in its early stages, especially in the 6th Army. It was only by relying on excellent tactics and soldiers that he won the victory in the early war. And at the end of the day, what about those so-called doomsday technologies?

The me262 fighter, which is claimed to be invincible, has a motive life of only more than 20 hours, and at the same time, it is very easy to catch fire. He is a well-known ace pilot killer of his own side.

The so-called No. 2 strongest piston fighter Ta152, its strongest name, has to be added to one or two words. Can compete with him, there are Yingmi's Spitfire, Mi Demon's three baby bottle brothers F4u4, p47, F6F, and Mustang h, in fact, when the Ta152 appeared, Germany was already behind Britain and the United States in terms of piston fighters. After 1944, on the British and American side, the two-thousand-horsepower motive fighter was flying all over the sky, and poor Hans was still climbing with the 17oo motive, and in the development and development of the new motive, the German motive at that time was tormented by the spark plug coking problem due to the excessive emphasis on oil-rich combustion, so that from 1943 to the second half of 1944, a whole year and a half, when the British and American two-thousand-horsepower motive equipment was used, and the German fighter with a large ticket was still using the old motive.

Note: The Merlin motive used in the Spitfire and the dB6o1 motive used in the BF1o9 have almost the same cylinder capacity. However, the British reorganized the Merlin and reorganized it, and the weight remained basically the same, and finally the Spitfire 14 with 2,000 horsepower was made under the condition that the cylinder volume remained the same.

On the German side, when the engine is driven to about 14oo horsepower of the BF1o9F model, it is difficult to move forward, and the BF1o9g behind it is replaced with a larger cylinder, and the weight is greatly increased, and the horsepower is only barely climbed to more than 1,700. At the same time, another British motive, the Griffin (i.e., Griffin) motive, used the same type of cylinder and about the same weight, but flew 25oo horsepower, and by the end of World War II it even drove 3,000 horsepower.

In the confrontation with the British Air Force, when the 2ooo horsepower Spitfire 14 appeared, the Luftwaffe had fallen behind in terms of fighter quality.

On the issue of the opening of aviation engine, whether it is BF1o9's dB6o1 or F19o's Bm series, there is no key factor of equipping the intercooler, and the lack of intercooler can reduce the weight of the motor, which is not fatal when the early supercharger is not large, but the fatal consequence is that as the motor cylinder is pressurized more and more, the disadvantages of not having an intercooler are becoming more and more severe - until the middle and late stages of World War II, the pressure of the combustion chamber of the German engine has not been able to go up, During the same period, the Anglo-American motivational intake pressure continued to rise. Removing the weight advantage of the intercooler can no longer offset the increased power and performance that the intercooler brings. The lack of an intercooler also exacerbates the problem of coking in the Powered Spark Race. (This statement quotes the opinion of gLen, a netizen on Air Force Wings, who has a lot of dry goods.) Cite his copyright) dB6o1 motive stopped early at the 14oo horsepower position and exhausted its potential, apparently due to the lack of an intercooler.

British motives, I once saw such an evaluation on TV military programs, one liter of fuel, British motives can fly five times longer than the German one -- this is a CCTV program World War II report, this statement has to put a big question mark, but British motives are more fuel-efficient than German is admitted. The main reason is also that the cattle do much better than Hans in terms of lean oil burning, because the German motive is overly focused on the reason for the rich oil burning, which dooms them to not save fuel.

As for the E-series, it's more of a crazy idea from Dr. Porsche – it's just some crazy idea on the drawings.
