Licorice joined John and began the blitzkrieg again, but this time Licorice was full of worries, because according to John's detailed instructions to him, this was the direction to the Soviet capital, could history repeat itself again? However, it is worth mentioning that the Greater German Regiment has been upgraded to the Greater German Panzer Division, and even the above seems to be intending to strengthen their troops, and several ace troops have been stuffed here, and the establishment is still expanding, and there is a faint posture of becoming a military-level establishment. However, there is another point that Licorice can't understand at all, that is, the German army seems to have completely abandoned the famous Tiger tank, and there is no Tiger, and those extreme products that appear because of the disadvantages of the war situation in the future, King Tiger tank, Ferdinand tank destroyer, Tiger Hunter tank destroyer, as well as mouse tank and E100, and even a giant rat with only drawings This series of extreme black technology is gone?

The first batch of Leopard tanks has been delivered to the Greater German Panzer Division, and it is said that the subsequent batches are also on the way, the reason seems to be because Fox Advisor, that is, the head of the equipment department, used his expertise to point out the shortcomings of the Tiger tank, and made every effort to develop the Leopard tank, and now the Leopard, the performance has far exceeded the same period in history, reaching the final version of the Panther, close to the standard of the first generation of main battle tanks, the German army now only uses the No. 4 tank, and the plan is to replace all of them with the Leopard in the future, the simplicity of the model, The universality of parts, and also the integration of industries, has led to a huge increase in productivity. However, another thing that made Licorice completely unexpected was that there were a lot of IS-1 and IS-2 in the armored forces of the Soviet army, that is, the upgraded leader version of the KV85, and even over time, some T34 upgraded T44 medium tanks appeared, should it be said that fortunately there was no T54? That's the first generation of main battle tanks.

The whole battle situation has completely exceeded the understanding of licorice, and the entire technology tree of both sides is also soaring at a speed beyond the limit of licorice's acceptance, uh, it seems that only the Soviet army is like this, everything is OK on the German side, everything is very stable, after all, it was with the help of Chen Hao that the Black Panther was developed and mass-produced two or three years in advance, but the Soviet army was very strange, and at the same time walked several technology trees, and although the Soviet army's tanks have always been known for their low cost and highest performance and great mass production capacity, However, in the case of getting these tanks out three years in advance, and at the same time, the Soviet army's tank production capacity gradually failed to keep up with the momentum, although they seemed to have a large number of supplies and materials from the Allies in various ways, but the limit of production capacity could not be broken, and because of the immaturity of technology, these tanks would inevitably fail, completely no longer in another time and space, nearly a thousand T34s in history without logistics for several days and nights without stopping, After running hundreds of kilometers, it is possible to have three-quarters of the tanks successfully reach their destination. By the way, that battle seems to be the last to reach the destination of the hundreds of T34s launched a suicidal charge against the German tigers, dashing the last hope of the German counterattack.

This situation has reached the limit after Chen Hao made a move, that is, the appearance of armor fragmentation shells, here we want to focus on the types and related situations of tank shells, the first type of shells is the most common armor-piercing shells, and armor-piercing shells are divided into charge armor-piercing shells and hard-core bullets, charge armor-piercing shells, as the name suggests, the shells will explode inside the tank after penetrating the armor of the tank, causing a high-explosive effect and a large number of skin-breaking killing capabilities. The hard-core armor-piercing bullet completely relies on kinetic energy to kill, and the killing range is a straight line and the armor fragments brought out when penetrating the tank armor, and the model after the hard-core armor-piercing bullet is the mainstream of today's armor-piercing bullet, that is, the shell-piercing bullet and his upgraded version, the tail stabilized shell-piercing armor-piercing projectile, which is commonly known as the long-rod armor-piercing bullet.

The second is high-explosive grenades, which are nothing to say, mainly used against infantry.

The third is the armor-piercing projectile, this kind of shell is also the ammunition used in the anti-tank rocket launcher, this is a chemical bomb, because it does not rely on kinetic energy to kill, so it will not gradually reduce the depth penetration ability with the increase of range like the armor-piercing projectile, the specific principle is that when the warhead hits the armor plate, the shell produces a chemical high-explosive reaction, forming a high-heat jet compressed and released in a fixed direction to penetrate a small hole in the armor plate to kill the people in the car.

The last one is the legendary artifact of the Su Dynasty, the armor fragmentation bullet, the armor fragmentation bullet is a piece of plastic explosive, because the shell is very thin, so the charge is three times that of the high-explosive bomb under the same caliber! Its killing principle is that when it hits the armor of the tank, the thin shell is deformed or broken under the action of the huge impact force, and the plastic explosive inside is tightly pasted on the surface of the armor like a plaster, neither broken nor scattered, under the action of the time-delay fuse, the explosive that is tightly pasted outside the armor is directly blasted, and the huge force is transmitted to the inside of the tank, and the huge force causes the inner wall of the armor to collapse a saucer-shaped fragment weighing several thousand grams and dozens of small fragments, which are splashed everywhere in the tank, killing and injuring the occupants in the car. The equipment is damaged, and the tank in good shape loses its combat effectiveness. The British have already studied the armor fragmentation bomb, but it has been used as a counter-fortification ammunition, Chen Hao doesn't need to study it himself at all, just let those ammunition experts look at British things and then copycat.

As for why it is said that the armor shattering bullet is an artifact of the Su? It's very simple, because the Soviet tanks have one of the biggest advantages and the biggest weakness, that is, they rely too much on and rely too much on inclined armor, the 45 mm armor used by the T34 can ignore the more than 90 mm penetrating guns before the German army changes guns, and the 100 mm frontal inclined armor can effectively resist the 280 armor-piercing shells, what a practical armor? Isn't it? So, one of the younger brothers of the Soviet army was taught to be a man by the younger brother of the Allies in the Judgment Day War, the T62 of the Soviet Army fought against the Queen's Centurion, no matter from which point of view, the performance of T62 is completely crushing the existence of the Centurion, not to mention that the T62 tank is the first tank in the world to use a tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing projectile, not to mention that the Centurion is also equipped with a speed limiter, and there is no maneuverability of a medium tank at all, and it may not run as fast as the German King Tiger heavy tank, But why did the end result be that T62 was completely abused? Even if the younger brother of the Soviet army is too stupid, the military quality is too low and he doesn't know any tactics, but the result shouldn't have been so miserable, the real reason is actually lost to the armor fragmentation bullet, because of the principle of action of the armor fragmentation bullet, although it will cause the plastic explosive to be covered incompletely because of the effect of the inclined armor, the paste is not firm, etc., but in general, the impact is really not large, and the effect of the armor fragmentation bullet can be almost completely displayed in the face of inclined armor, As a result, the T62 tank, which had only 100 mm of frontal armor on the head and crotch, was completely finished, and only one hit could declare the tank scrapped.

This is also the case here, because of the pursuit of mass production efficiency and slightly reduced the quality of the Panther tank, although it looks very strong, but in fact there is a biggest weakness, that is, for the sake of production and can not use too large a multiplier barrel, and the longer the barrel means that the shell can accelerate in the barrel for a longer time, the faster the ejection speed, the higher the kinetic energy, and the stronger the armor-piercing ability, but at the same time the barrel becomes longer, the higher the technical content will be, and the more difficult it will be to produce. So the armor-piercing ability of the current Panther tank shells is very average, the strong is only the mobility and protection ability, as well as the fire control system, before the emergence of the more advanced tanks of the Soviet Army, the weakness of the Panther's firepower is not any problem at all, because it is completely sufficient, as long as it is not missed, it will definitely be able to penetrate, and now after the emergence of more advanced tanks in the Soviet Army, especially the improvement of armor, the requirements for the firepower of the Panther have naturally increased, but the appearance of armor fragmentation shells has completely made up for this weakness, It even makes the original weakness the strongest point, and because the No. 4 tank also uses the same caliber gun, it can completely use the armor fragmentation shell.

Because of these advantages, the Soviet armored forces began to suffer greater casualties, and a large number of tanks were destroyed, which forced the Soviet army to start researching the use of double armor and composite armor, but this will also make the production of Soviet tanks even lower.
