Some readers ask why we should use the Panther tank as the main battle tank and not others, first of all, let's consider the situation of the Principality of Gallia, and look at the map that was issued, the distance (with scale) from the capital of Gallia to the border:
It is a little more than 200 kilometers in a straight line to the northern fortress city of Kiruladaio (the first border city to be captured by the emperor).
It is about 200 km to the border of the Federation of the Southern Oceans.
It is about 130~150 km to Brulu.
It is about 170 kilometers to the north-western energy base.
It is about 100 km to the southern region.
The maximum driving distance of the Panther tank on the road reaches 280 km, even if the road quality is poor, it can reach 200 km, and the off-road is 100. Of course, the premise is that the control system of the Panther Pit does not fail.
Gallia fought a defensive counterattack, so in the early days, he sat back and waited for the enemy to come to the door, which was in line with the characteristics of the German tanks that were very fortresses in the later period. Just like the German defense at the end of the war. It is especially suitable in areas where the terrain is relatively narrow and the army density on the battlefield is high.
The protagonist team will be alone for some time to come, which requires the tank to have excellent defense (Sherman removed), fire durability (T34/85 removed), and accuracy of fire (Germany preferred in this regard). In addition to this, it is also necessary to take into account that the service life of the barrel and engine should not be too short (the Tiger also unfortunately fell off the list). The service life of her main gun is only about half that of the Panther. So after thinking about it again, I chose the Black Panther, which was a little less reliable but had excellent other indices.
Although there were some problems with the German tank, after all, I didn't intend to let the protagonist's tank fight alone for a long time. The rest of the comrades will be back soon!
The armored corps is a highly organized and cutting-edge technical unit, and it must be tightly organized, and it must not fight alone, which will only make it lose its combat effectiveness.
Armored troops are the combat units with the highest technical requirements and the highest professional requirements in the army. It is necessary to have good logistical support in order for it to display its combat effectiveness. Otherwise, it's just a pile of expensive scrap metal.
Armored forces need highly skilled personnel and extremely good leadership. Otherwise, the advantages of technical equipment will not be reflected at all.
Before World War II, countries were more or less aware of the role of armored forces and air forces, but they did not have enough capacity to build such a force. At that time, only Germany, which stood at the top of the world in terms of personnel quality, industrial capacity, and military theory construction (not national moral construction), was capable of building such a highly organized army.
Armored Corps -- A direct reflection of a country's army modernization level and the army's comprehensive combat capability.
