Turning his gaze back, the candied fruit's room—

"In short, after Cromwell defeated the ace of Maple Leaf High School and Pobrute used a Cromwell to force the Earl's flag car and escort troops, the Cromwell Society organized by the graduates of the St. Gloriana Lane also began to crowd out the Crusaders and Matilda." So Willisa reports.

Ye Liusha: "Hmph, aren't those pedantic old men just the ones who can only see the outside of the chariot?" The competition between the guilds has been going on for decades, and this success is thanks to the help of upgrading vehicles everywhere. ”

Willissa: "So, what do we do?" In addition to the BT tank, we truth that there is no other tank that can outperform the Cromwell series, right? The 300mm gun also has to pay attention, even if the range is not far compared to the general tank gun, but it is the data after counting the hit and the deceleration of the shell to weaken the penetration, people stand in the position where our attack is ineffective and bombard, and they are affected by the explosion, except for the KV-5 and IS-4, I am afraid that they will have to put up a white flag. ”

Ye Liusha: "The strength of the tank can't just look at the data, if it is used well, one T-34 can also operate 3 Tiger Kings." ”

Willissa: "I know this history, so please don't talk about it." Willisa wanted to complain. ”

Ye Liusha: "Then you say, quickly tell me the enemy's chariot that is ready to fight, it has passed the reporting time and cannot be modified." ”

Dressa: "Oh, пohmatь (understand)—"

The meeting to discuss the preparation of the vehicle is attended by all the crew members who will go out for the next battle, and Willisa doesn't need to eavesdrop to know -

Willissa: "Eh...... A43 Black Prince (flag car), 1; A22 Churchill Mk.VII., 4 units, A22 Churchill Royal Engineer Tank, 1 unit, A39 Tortoise Heavy Assault Tank, 1 vehicle, A30 Challenger, 3 units, A27M Cromwell Mk.VIII., 5 units. That's all. ”

Ye Liusha: "Finally, even the earth turtle can be opened?" With this configuration, it's a bit tricky, but ...... Then the Challenger should not be the main battle tank in active service in the United Kingdom, right? I don't know, please explain. ”

Willissa: "Eh, Lord Darjeeling didn't go into too much detail, so wait a minute. "Even if Willisa is still a fan of the chariot that was brought out, it is impossible to be completely all-encompassing.

Hui Lisha said, covering the microphone connected to the notebook, and asked Yuhanari, who was doing what she liked in the back, "Yuka, what is the A30 Challenger tank?" ”

It's much faster to ask for information than to look up information.

"Oh, that's it." Yuhani found herself asked about the chariot, and she was very happy-

The A30 Challenger tank is the predecessor of the Avenger Tannihilation mentioned in the last Yuka. Part of the Cromwell series, the A30 Challenger cruiser tank, a British combat vehicle used during World War II.

At the end of World War II, although the Cromwell tank was much more reliable than the previous British tanks, it was still unable to fight the German zoo, not to mention that even a small number of Tiger Kings were on the battlefield at that time, and the British army thought that a vehicle with a more powerful gun was needed to deal with the heavier German tanks.

The British wanted to install a QF17-pounder gun with 360° maneuver on the chassis of the Cromwell, making it much more anti-tank capable than the average Cromwell.

In order to be able to mount the QF17-pounder gun with a large turret and recoil on the chassis of the Cromwell tank, the turret was enlarged and redesigned, and the armor was more than 100mm thick, and it was still cylindrical with better ricochet ability. Unlike the original idea, the chassis of the Cromwell could not fit the new turret, so it was lengthened and widened, and a set of load wheels was added (one more pair of five pairs of load wheels is not a good tank, well).

After the modification, the vehicle was over 9 feet tall, 1 foot taller than the Cromwell, and the side projection was increased even more, which made it an easier target, and the improved armor and shape were negated by the increased armor and shape, and the turret rotated abnormally on the slope due to the center of gravity. The weight was 5.5t higher than that of the Cromwell tank, which caused a decrease in maneuverability and a maximum speed of 51km/h. The Hull Machine Gun was removed for artillery space, but the Hull Machine Gun was not very useful in the battle lane.

In short, there were a lot of problems, and then it was modified into the Avenger Tannihilation, which weakened the armor and increased the rear counterweight of the turret - restored the power and solved the abnormal rotation of the turret due to the wrong center of gravity, but this became a tank destroyer guy who could not meet the needs of the soldiers, so everyone went to drive the Firefly tank.

Originally, it was planned to configure the Comet tank, but to find the model of these advanced cruiser tanks, you can only start from foreign countries, the A34 Comet tank is the same rare as the A30 Challenger, it is easier to use than the A30 Challenger, it can fight the Panther, it is more sought-after, these A30 Challengers are still replaced by A34 Comets in foreign schools.

However, despite all the problems of the A30 Challenger, the protection and mobility are good, after the carbon coating reinforcement structure reduces the burden of parts and can limit the magic modification of the engine, the problem is even smaller, the problem of turret rotation is really not easy to do, but in view of the artillery is very powerful, even if it is used as a fixed turret, as long as it is properly configured, it can definitely play a much larger role than the Cromwell tank.

In addition, thousands of words have been added to the topic of the detailed process of research, and personal opinions.

Willisa felt that it would be confusing to retell the past like Yuhanari, so after Yuhanari finally finished speaking, she turned on the microphone and said, "Yes, the penetration depth of our T-44/100 armor-piercing projectiles, the reloading speed and grenade power of the T-34/76, the armor thickness between the T-34 and T-44, and the mobility of the T-34/76." ”

Ye Liusha: "Well, it's really a simple and clear answer, but I've been waiting for so long, instead of thinking about how to polish it, it's better to pick out important data from the original text to me." ”

Willissa: "Ahaha, I'll reflect on it............"

Can it be said that Yuhani himself has to talk for too long?

Wellisha: "However, the Challenger tank is not like the Cromwell tank, which has a bit of a reserve in the country. Cromwell will, spend effort to get 3 from abroad, it's really hard enough, I feel that in addition to victory, the right to speak is more important. ”

Ye Liusha: "Power is a good thing, besides, the Cromwell series is a combat vehicle that was mass-produced and put into service that year, and unlike the small batch of experimental vehicles that Sanders tried his best to get with the Tiger King as his opponent, the price is relatively low, and the parts of the experimental car are also very versatile, so it is relatively easy to get." So, is there anything else to report? ”

Willissa: "I heard that the combat meeting will be held three days before the competition, that is, the day after tomorrow, and the combat meeting is only held by the commander, and I will contact you when the time comes." End of debriefing. ”

Ye Liusha: "Okay, good luck to you. ”
