Chapter Seventy-Four: AT-1

Bow again and thank you for the tip of 'Angry Sky 00' for a big 1888! 'Angry Sky 00' has greatly moved Xiaomo beyond recovery, and hereby rewards the eighth-level gold coin car 'Pap Tiger' Tiger Hunting 88!

In addition, Xiaomo spit and complained, the new version of the tank is really cheating! I thought there would be some new maps, but it turned out that the pit dad network changed a few old maps and got them directly! I can't afford to hurt it! Especially Xiaomo's favorite Novka, he actually changed the most wonderful mountaintop position into a mess, making the original most wonderful mountaintop offensive and defensive battle lose the cruelty and fierceness it deserves! I was speechless

Now that you've chosen the upgrade route, let's start leveling up. The brothers no longer sit, but have teleported their own exclusive space, because the tank upgrade must be carried out in their own exclusive space, and it is useless to sit from Chen Mo!

Now that he has decided to upgrade, Chen Mo chose the vehicle to be upgraded - AT-1 on the upgrade panel provided by Sophie.

The historical AT-1 was the first Soviet self-propelled anti-tank gun based on the T-26 light tank chassis, which was designed in 1933 and a prototype was made for testing in 1936. Lao Maozi chose a PS-1 type 76-mm gun for the AT-3 and mounted the gun in the fighting compartment of the box-shaped structure on the upper part of the T-26 chassis.

However, this design scheme makes the gun can only rely on the movement of the hull itself to change the firing angle, which greatly limits the firing angle of the artillery, and the pitch angle of the gun is about -5~20 degrees, which is not very good.

The AT-1 gun was positioned at the front, with a folding hatch on each side of the hull in the rear half of the hull to throw out shells during battle, and the crew could also fire outwards with self-defense weapons, which also facilitated the loading of ammunition, and the subsequent T-26 adopted this design.

The AT-1 could carry 41 rounds of 76 mm shells, the armor of the hull was 16 mm thick in the front and 15 mm on the sides.

Although the AT-1 was the first self-propelled anti-tank gun, more and more flaws were exposed during the testing of the AT-1, in addition to the lack of gun firing angles, the low fighting compartment also made the four-person crew feel overcrowded. By 1938, the AT-1 was outdated for other new vehicles, both in terms of weapons and chassis, and in this way, the AT-1 failed to equip the troops.

Although the AT-1 in reality has such and such problems, but in space, this tank compared with other tanks of the same level, in terms of firepower output can be said to dominate the entire secondary vehicle, except for the American secondary anti-tank T18 can be comparable to it in firepower, other secondary vehicles in firepower can not be compared with it at all!

Of course, the AT-1's formidable 76 mm caliber tank gun needed to be developed before it could be installed, and a new suspension system with a more powerful load-bearing capacity could be developed before this powerful anti-tank gun could be installed.

However, there is a certain price to pay for getting powerful firepower, that is, its own armor is too weak, and the amount of blood is also the lowest kind compared to other second-level vehicles, as for the speed, it is not very different from the first-level MS-1. Fortunately, this is an anti-tank, there is no need to go shirtless to fight, and it is enough to shoot a yin gun!

In general, this car has nothing to offer other than firepower, but as a hurdle that must be overcome on the road to tank upgrades, this car cannot be bypassed in any way.

If you want to upgrade the second-level car, the previous MS-1 will not be used, although the AT-1 is not very easy to use, but it is always more powerful than the first-class car, so those tank parts on the MS-1 car need to be disassembled. These tank parts that Chen Mo bought at the beginning with a lot of merit points are universal, so as long as they are disassembled for a certain amount of merit points, they can continue to be used on the AT-1.

First, it cost a full 1,000 merit points to buy the AT-1 whiteboard car, and then spent 60 merit points to dismantle the ventilation, artillery team and camouflage net on the MS-1 and install it directly on the AT-1, as for the other things on the MS-1 car, they are not used on the AT-1, so they can be directly recycled into the space with the MS-1, which can save a parking space.

Different from the AT-1 in reality, the AT-1 in reality has four members, while the AT-1 in space has only three members, and there is one more gunner than the MS-1, so that Chen Mo does not have to aim and fire the gun while commanding the tank. However, the responsibility of the loader is still held by Chen Mo, the commander, and the hard loading days are still the same!

If there is one more gunner, then you need to recruit from the space. Clicking on the virtual panel, there are a large number of gunners waiting for the commander to recruit, Chen Mo took a general look, but found that there was no more like Alexander. The appearance of a figure at the level of a Soviet hero like Comrade Borisov also made Chen Mo, a slightly heroic guy, a little disappointed.

Casually recruited an old gunner, plus the driver Alexander. Comrade Borisov and Chen Mo, the commander, and the members of the AT-1 are complete.

It's just that previously as a pilot of the MS-1, Alexander . Comrade Borisov piloted the AT-1 again, he would need to undergo additional training, and he would lose some of his experience during training, but there was no way to do it. Borisov was unable to show his driving skills properly, so even if it was difficult to earn experience for the members, they had to sacrifice a part of it in exchange for the original superb driving skills of the driver comrades.

As for Chen Mo, there is no need to train active tanks, which makes Chen Mo happy for a long time, after all, training is a loss of valuable members' skill experience!

The training time was very short, it took more than ten minutes to complete the training, Alexander. Borisov officially became a glorious tank driver of the second class!

Take advantage of Alexander. In the interval between Borisov's training, Chen Mo was not idle, but used the sufficient merit value in his hand to develop and upgrade the AT-1 that he had just bought. A tabula rasa is very painful in battle, and it simply can't play the ultimate performance of a tank, not to mention that the AT-1 is not very good in the first place, and if you drive a tabula rasa into battle again, it is really a very painful thing.

The first to develop is a new type of track, the AT-1bis suspension has enough load capacity, the installation of this track can not only increase the turning speed of the vehicle, but more importantly, in order to install some tank accessories that require a greater load capacity to install, it is necessary to install this suspension system.

With a new suspension with a better load-bearing capacity, the next thing to do is the artillery.

There are three models of AT-1 tank guns that need to be developed, one is a 37 mm caliber tank gun, which can be ignored directly, Chen Mo has always pursued heavy firepower, so he will not consider this kind of small-caliber artillery. The other two types of artillery are 76 mm tank guns and 57 mm tank guns that must be developed to upgrade the next level of tanks.

Although the 57 mm caliber tank gun was stronger than the 76 mm caliber tank gun in terms of rate of fire and armor penetration, Chen Mo still chose the 76 mm caliber tank gun!

What does anti-tank do? It's firepower! The focus is on firepower output! Although the penetration depth of the 76mm gun is not as good as that of the 57mm gun, its powerful firepower that can reach up to 164 points of damage is the ultimate reason why Chen Mo finally chose this tank gun. In the second-level room, if you can hit the upper limit of this theoretical value, then 164 points of damage is enough to make any second-level car immortal and crippled! This kind of deterrence is exactly what Chen Mo needs!

Of course, in order to prepare for the upgrade of the next level of tanks, Chen Mo still developed the 57mm gun, but it was not installed.

The tank suspension and artillery are all neat, so you need to provide more power for the AT-1 to make this tank run at the most windy~coquettish speed!

Both different engines needed to be developed, and eventually, after spending some of Chen Mo's merit points, the final T-26F engine on the AT-1 tech tree was about to be installed on the car. This engine can provide the AT-1 with 130 hp, allowing the AT-1 to increase its speed to a maximum of 30 km/h in a short time.

Although this speed is not fast, but don't forget, the anti-tank vehicle is lying still most of the time, it is stuck, once the anti-tank is lit up, want to run, hehe, it depends on luck! Therefore, in the low-level room, the anti-tank requirements for speed are not very high.

The AT-1 whiteboard car comes with a 71-TK-1 radio communication distance of only 265 meters, and the new 71-TK-3 radio can increase this distance to 300 meters, although the gap of 35 meters is not very large, but at a critical time, it may be because of this 35 meters that some unpleasant things happen, plus the research and development of the radio system does not cost much merit value, Therefore, Chen Mo did not hesitate to develop a new type of radio.

All the tank accessories have been developed, and enough merit points have been paid to the space, then, in the tank equipment workshop, the huge manipulator began to quickly install those tank parts on the AT-1 according to Chen Mo's requirements, and not long after, a new AT-1 appeared in front of Chen Mo's eyes.

Although this AT-1 has become a complete body, although the performance of the complete body is not very good, although this car has consumed a lot of merit points for Chen Mo, so that Chen Mo, who has a lot of money, is a little distressed, but this is also the first combat vehicle that Chen Mo has risen out of space!

The first step of the Long March is very important, and the significance of this AT-1 is undoubtedly no different from the first step of the Long March! What's more, this car was created by Chen Mo pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers, and the merit points earned from hard work one battle after another, which is undoubtedly similar to his own son!

How can a father say that his son is not good? Well, what, my wife can still talk about it, after all, my wife is always someone else's good (Chen Mo: Don't tell Su Qian, readers, don't tell Su Qian) But the child is your own good!

Looking at the time, there were less than ten minutes left before the countdown to the battle, Chen Mo circled around the brand-new AT-1 twice with satisfaction, and then looked at the two members standing like javelins in front of the AT-1, and a sense of satisfaction and superiority suddenly rose in Chen Mo's heart!

"Boys, wait for my brother's 76mm cannon to roar!"
