Chapter 955 956 Pit Daddy Design
What happened in front of him brought Wren back to reality from his thoughts. He seemed to have a premonition that the terrible Wolf would not leave so easily. He was like Wren's nightmare, haunting Wren as hard to get rid of as an appendage.
"Don't save shells! Aim at that Stalin tank with the black five-pointed star emblem!" "Wren didn't want to be in a daze with a dangerous person like Wolf in this situation, so he decisively gave the order to continue the attack.
Yes, continue to attack! Until the opponent's tank is completely destroyed, and it can only be said that it is safe until the dangerous Stalin's tank painted with a black pentagram is blown into a pile of scrap metal! Andrei's reaction was indeed not slow, and the turret of the No. 113 King Tiger tank was aimed at the oncoming Stalin tank as fast as possible.
"That tank isn't quite right! It's faster than the other Stalin's!" Bowman was very sensitive to the speed of the vehicle, and when the other party rushed out of the smoke, he knew that the Stalin tank was definitely different from the other Stalin's tanks. Now he finally realized the difference, because the speed on the other side was too fast.
"Boom!" A tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet blasted directly out of the barrel of the King Tiger tank, and a powerful blow could definitely make the hit target pay the heaviest price. Andrei had an instinctive instinct as soon as the cannonball came out of the barrel, and he knew that this cannonball would inevitably hit the opponent, and it would also cause a lot of damage to the opponent.
The armor-piercing projectile carried a huge kinetic energy and slammed into the armor plate of the Stalin's tank, but unfortunately, the devastating force was not able to penetrate the Stalin tank in the distance, but because of the angle, after leaving a crater on the inclined armor, it made a strange turn and flew into the distant sky.
Because the Soviet tanks borrowed from the German Leopard tanks, or they originally had such a design idea of inclined armor - in short, Stalin's tanks had a lot of inclined armor, and this time in this battle, this angled armor played their role and bounced off the fatal blow of the opponent's armor-piercing shell.
"Hell, the armor of this tank has also been modified! It's not the usual Stalin tank!" Andrei now finally understands why the other party is so arrogant and the first to break out of the smoke, after all, driving this kind of tank with different performance from other Soviet tanks, he may be more confident than usual.
When the Soviet Union was forced to design and develop the Stalin tank, it was actually aimed at the German Leopard and Tiger tanks, and when they found that their latest tank T-34 was inferior to the German Tiger tank in performance, Soviet engineers tried their best to develop this terrible Stalin tank.
First of all, in order to cope with the inclined armor and high-quality armor material casting process of the Tiger tank, they chose a monster gun with serious overpower for this tank, which is the famous 122 mm caliber tank gun. The power of this tank gun was quite amazing, and in fact it proved that it was quite capable of coping with all German tanks at this stage.
On the other hand, the Soviets also have their own understanding of tank armor, and they use a large number of cast parts to shorten the production time, and use good bulletproof shape to offset the problems caused by the unstable quality of armor due to process and other problems.
This leads to a very interesting phenomenon, which is that the production version of the Stalin tank has very low armor quality, and many cast armor has air bubbles inside, resulting in good and bad armor impact resistance - just like buying a lottery ticket, you can shoot through its front armor with a single shot, or you may not succeed in several shots.
This kind of armor, which seems to rely entirely on faith for defense, naturally cannot be provided to the main elite troops for use, in fact, it is completely the product of making up for the lack of tanks. Therefore, the Soviet Union also produced Stalin's tanks on a small scale, almost manually, and these tanks used sights imported from the United States, which were specially supplied to Wolf's fleet as a special weapon for elite forces.
This type of Stalin tank uses better American engines and uses well-forged superior armor, so it can be said that it is two completely different tanks from ordinary Stalin tanks. Of course, now Rennes they don't know such details, but judging from some experience, the quality of Soviet tanks is unstable.
"Keep firing! Even the best quality Stalin tank can't always guarantee that it won't be penetrated by the 88 cannon!" Wren shouted loudly, and then pressed the throat intercom to contact Markus on the side: "Fire! Marcus! Concentrate your firepower first and kill this Stalin tank!"
Marcus, of course, was not idle, and when the Wren crew fired the first shell, Marcus began to load his ammunition and prepare to shoot. He has an instinctive fear of Wolfe, so he also has an instinctive instinct to kill Wolf.
However, as he prepared to fire, he found another Stalin tank rushing out of the burning wilderness, and Wolf's tank began to charge with it. And behind these two Soviet tanks, there was a third intact Soviet tank that burst out of the smoke and appeared in front of the eyes of the Germans.
"Wren! I'll take out those superfluous guys!You hold back that damn Black Star Stalin tank first!" Marcus made a decision after a little weighing, since every tank on the other side can threaten him, then it is undoubtedly a very rational choice to pinch those softer persimmons first.
And Marcus was also very efficient, he fired a shot directly, and the shell hit the armor of a Stalin tank opposite, and this time did not jump away, but rushed directly into the compartment behind the armor. So the Stalin tank began to catch fire, and Rennes was a little less of a threat.
Now the situation has become 2 against 2, that is, two Stalin tanks against two German Tiger Kings. Even in the situation just now, where 3 Stalin tanks played against 2 King Tiger tanks, the German King Tiger tank won at least 90% of the time.
At least in terms of situational analysis, after shelling and the support of attack aircraft, the German armored forces for the first time had a clear advantage overall. At any time in peacetime, it would seem that the German Panzers would have killed two Stalin tanks in a very short period of time and then moved on. But the current situation is still not optimistic.
"Wren! We only have five shells, two of which are grenades. Bruce poured a basin of cold water from head to toe at everyone at such a time, and his words simply made everyone cry and laugh, and there was a feeling that victory was in front of him, but he didn't have the strength to collect it.
It was not an easy task to rely on three shells to kill the Black Star Stalin tank. If it were replaced by an ordinary Stalin tank, with only one shell, Andrei or Wren would dare to give it a go, but in the face of the tank in front of him, no one dared to say that he was very sure.
"Boom!" There was no time for Wren and the others to think about it, and a puff of white smoke erupted from the barrel of the Black Star Stalin tank opposite, and a 122 mm caliber shell fell on the ground not far from the side of the King Tiger tank, splashing a tall black smoke.
"Damn!" In the turret of Stalin's tank, Wolf hammered the iron plate beside him hard, and after complaining, he asked his gun commander in a fierce tone: "Aim some! Fool! We almost put the cannon in the face of the opposite tank, and you are not sure about it?"
"I'm sorry! The vibration may have damaged the scope, but I had already aimed at the target, but it still missed. The artillery commander was also very aggrieved at this time, he had aimed at his target as much as possible, but he still failed to hit in the end.
"Broken? Isn't there anyone who can tell me good news at this time? Hurry up and adjust the angle of the shot and hit the target for me! Hurry! Hurry!" Wolf said as he observed the King Tiger tank on the other side, "Do you have to wait until we are destroyed before you know that this is a battle?"
And just behind the gun commander, the loader in the Stalin tank was frantically busy, and unlike the German 88 mm cannon used one-piece shells, the Soviet 122 mm guns used split shells, which also caused a more serious problem - the rate of fire of the Stalin's tank guns was so low that each reload seemed to complete about two reload actions.
It is difficult to understand why the West criticizes and despises Soviet-made tanks in the West unless you climb aboard a Soviet-made tank to get a feel for the ****** of interior design. At least the internal structure of Stalin's tank can be said to be extremely bad, and it can be understood that the artillery and armored engines were improvised, and nothing else was thought about at all.
Half of the warhead was placed at the rear of the turret, and the other half was placed under the floor...... Listen to these two positions to know what kind of reloading efficiency it is. One can imagine the spectacle of thousands of Stalin's tank loaders risking their lives to reload while greeting the designer's mother.
"Boom!" Before the Wren crew cheered for the fact that the shell did not hit them, another Stalin tank opened fire, and the shell did not have any further problems, and directly hit the load wheels of the Wren 113 tank, and after a loud bang, the track of the Wren tank crackled and broke off.
