The next day, the Chariot Department of the School of Truth, the treasury -

After today's general course, Katyusha summoned a part of the T-34/76, T-34/85 and KV series tanks to the front of the warehouse. The crews of the SU-85 and SU-100 were also called.

The people who were already in charge of the logistics of the tank department had already been concentrated here.

In addition to a few "big heads" T-34s waiting in the warehouse as usual and visible from the door, there were a row of 5 tanks in the open space outside the warehouse.

In addition, there is a large pile of artillery and other parts.

"Wow~ It's really a powerful tank, although most of them have been seen - it won't be an additional maintenance task, right?" Willisa was pounding in her heart.

"Listen, comrades! These chariots are the remuneration we received for our labor in the Ural industrial zone this time! Katyusha, riding on Nona's shoulder, announced loudly.

"Lord Katyusha is referring to these vehicles as our reward for the maintenance of them." Nona translated.

Even though it seemed that the reward was too much, everyone still raised their hands and shouted: "Ulla!!! ”

"This is not a reward, but a gift, right?" "Isn't there anyone who has any doubts?" ”

Of course, there will be some people who have some doubts in their hearts, but, the discipline of the chariot department of the School of Truth is very good, and there are so many hard-to-get end-of-battle vehicles, it's too late to be happy, as a member of the battle lane, even if these cars are not their own in the end, it's very exciting to be able to fight behind the ass.

Among the five tanks, there was a multi-turret tank, the main turret was extremely tall, even more than the KV-2, and it looked thinner than the 152 Cult cannon, but the more powerful cannon protruded from the turret, and there was a machine gun tower in front of the main turret and a second machine gun tower above it. The tank was very long, and there were eight pairs of KV tank load wheels to carry the load. This is a KV-100 super-heavy tank with more than 5t! This seems to be just a whimsical drawing car back then, right? It's really made, huh?

There is also a tank with eight pairs of load-bearing wheels that appear to be longer, which looks like the IS-2 heavy tank that the truth held in the past, but this one has a longer body and barrel, and a larger turret, which is an upgraded version of the IS-2, weighing more than the Tiger and reaching 60t, the IS-4 heavy tank!

Next to the IS-4 is a vehicle about the same size as the IS-2, the most iconic difference is that the shape of the turret is like a cauldron lid that is upside down on the chassis, this shape of the turret definitely has a magical ricochet rate, which is a tank that the Soviets began to produce at the end of the war and once shocked the West in the military parade, although it is a heavy battle, but it is a point of quality and weight, without a trace of cumbersomeness, in order to increase the ricochet rate and protection to compress the internal space as much as possible, but it is not a problem for the petite warlane girl, IS-3 heavy tank!

The remaining two are the same, very similar in appearance to the T-34, but the turret has been moved to a position close to the center of the hull, the side armor has no inclination, but the hull is lowered, and the side projection area is also reduced, with the same firepower as the T-34/85, but with more protection and mobility than the T-34/85, the pioneer of the transition to the T-54 main battle tank, the T-44 medium tank!

In addition, there is a pile of parts piled aside, and using all of them on the T-34, which the truth now holds the most, can also make the T-34 "steel torrent" a level stronger.

Katyusha: "Comrades, we must start upgrading the tank as soon as possible, and use the new tank to prepare for the next national competition, so that the hateful tank level advantage of Hesse Peak will be leveled, and the guy who is useless except for the pig rush is not worth mentioning, and victory belongs to the truth!! ”

"Ula !!" x n

The modifications involved mainly include:

The T-34/76 from model 1942 onwards was equipped with a control tower, which allowed the commander to observe the surrounding situation without having to open the hatch and poke his head out, reducing the distance that the commander needed to move when he needed to observe the surrounding situation.

Of the more than 30 T-34s held by Truth, there are a total of 10 T-34/85s, some of which are M1944s in the late war, and some are M1943s that were originally used to deal with Tiger tanks, and now all 5 T-34/85s in this part of the emergency are to be converted into T-34/100s.

The T-34/100 was not a successful model in history, and at the beginning, Plant 92 stuffed a ZIS-100 gun directly into the original T-34/85 turret, and the recoil during the test gun fire was beyond the range of the T-34/85 tank, and the turret was very crowded. Installing a muzzle brake still does not solve this problem.

The Sherman tank originally had a pitiful 75mm gun that was not long or short on a large empty hull, but later, with the addition of armor, the caliber of the barrel, and the double diameter, it was not difficult for the British to replace the 17-pounder gun, a 90mm breech-level gun, and later the Israelis were even more crazy to stuff in the 105mm gun, no problem.

It can be seen that the practice of simplifying production with a simple structure, one weight and one quality, as in the Soviet Union, although it is beneficial, can become cumbersome when upgraded.

Later, the T-34/100 had to re-design the turret and adjust the seat, and by the time it was basically completed, the war was over, and the more advanced T-44 came out, and the T-54, which was originally the most suitable for carrying a 100mm gun, was also to be made, so the T-34/100 was dismounted.

But the battle lane is not a problem at all, there is no need to make any modifications, just shoehorn the ZIS-100 gun into the turret according to history, because the battle lane uses ammunition that reduces the weight of the drug, plus the reinforcement of the combat vehicle with carbon coating, and the problem that has not been solved in the past is solved. And the problem of crowded space in the car - the girls are not tall Soviet soldiers, so this is no problem.

The only problem that may arise is that the T-34/100 has removed a crew member because it needs more space to load ammunition, but fortunately, many T-34/76 crews are used to it, and later changed to the T-34/85 without increasing the crew, at most a member sitting in the hull was transferred to the turret, so it was still no problem.

However, in this way, the SU-100, which should have been quite good, will fall into the same treatment as the SU-85 because of the T-34/100. Fortunately, there are a few more new combat vehicles, even if they can't directly get into high-end vehicles because of the few tank destroyers on the battlefield, a little change and reorganization of personnel will be done.

In addition, according to Nona and Katyusha's discussions, some modifications that can be made recently have been added to the Warlane Alliance's relaxation of restrictions on ammunition types for some unknown reason -

Originally, the "reliable comrade" was the KV-2, but now the title and crew have been transferred to the KV-5, so that Nina and Alina are happy, because the KV-5 main gun is a 107mm-ZIS6M gun, the caliber is reduced, the penetration depth is enhanced, and most importantly - the weight is lighter. Historically, this was also a failed model, but there was no problem in the lane, and the reason was the same as the T-34/100.

Nona's original tank was the only Stalinist tank IS-2 in the truth, and now she has moved to the IS-4, which has very few crews with experience in operating Stalin's tanks and extremely high proficiency, and good steel must be used on the blade.

The IS-3 heavy tank was handed over to the original IS-2 reserve crew.
