Student Council Room –

"I won't bother Lord Willisa in the future, I'll go practice first, and try never to happen like this in the future." Ling bowed outside the door and turned to leave.

Willisa walked into the student council room on crutches and came to the place where the chariot department held its daily meeting.

From today onwards, it will be the day when the large number of parts ordered by Oarai with the donations raised will arrive, and Oarai will begin to vigorously transform the chariot, and most of the cadres who know how to do it will go to command. The purpose of this chairman's meeting was to wash the problem of the chariot that could not be quickly repaired due to the lack of foreign aid, and found the Akiyama sisters and the Kashiwa Ye sisters.

"Roar, it looks really miserable."

"Falling from that kind of place, it seems that the technology needs to be improved."

The first thing the Kashiwa Leaf sisters said when they saw Willisa was a little provocative.

"I'll remember." Willisa nodded, and sat down next to her with Yuhanari's support.

The Kashiwa Ye sisters were bored, so they didn't say anything more.

"Okay, okay, everyone's here. Where did we talk about before Sister Akiyama came just now? The president clapped his hands and said.

"Hey, let's talk about how the Battlelane League plans to compensate our vehicles before the next race." Yuhanari said.

"Well, that's it, in fact, I just said it, I hope to wait for Sister Akiyama to get an opinion." The chairman said, "First of all, Sister Akiyama's chariot, the T26 really can't get the same one right away, but this series of chariots is a standing chariot in the university team, given that the hard cost of the transmission system of the T26 experimental car is higher than that of the ordinary M26 Pershing, so with the kind coordination of the instructor, the Battlelane Alliance agreed to use an M26E2 or T26E4 as a replacement, what should I do?" ”

The M26E2 is equipped with an 810-horsepower AV-1790-3 engine and a CD-850-2 transmission system, the firepower is the same as that of the T26, and the armor protection is the same as that of the T26E3, but the engine output has increased by 60%, and the thrust-to-weight ratio is higher than that of many medium tanks.

Although the time of the outfit experiment was in 1948, the development time was 1943, which is not a violation. In fact, the M26 Pershing, which served as a command vehicle in the university team, all used this engine. The Battlelane Alliance just took one of the old cars and refurbished it with the intention of compensating for it.

Of course, compared with the M26E2 and T26 experimental vehicles, some of the advantages of electric transmission are gone, and the reliability of electric transmission is still good under modern black technology.

The T26E4 is a Pershing with a TI5E1 90mmL/73 tank gun, and the relationship between the mass-produced M26 Pershing is the same as that of the Tiger King and the Tiger type.

"I'd like the T26E4, but I just have a hunch that Eri might object." "So I wanted to see if I could convince Eeri." ”

"You're right, of course I'm against it. Wasn't it already ordered for long barrels? Isn't it a waste of resources to change a car now with a long barrel? Willissa said.

"But this cannon is even more powerful." Yuhanari said.

Not long ago, Youhuali proposed to order and was adopted the T54 90mm gun, the double diameter and shell length of this gun are shorter than the T26E4 TI5E1 90mmL/73 tank gun, but considering the ratio of the double diameter to consumption, as well as the problem of the physical strength of the loader, Youhuali chose the former, if you use the blunt armor-piercing projectile that is standard in the competition, the range and penetration depth should be a little lower, but it is enough.

However, now that there is a chance to get a more powerful cannon for nothing, do you want to give up?

"And there's also the idea of making a chariot that makes chariot fans crazy – Super Pershing. Actually, I've seen a Super Pershing one in Sanders, though I don't know why they don't use it. ”

The Super Pershing seen in Youhua is T26E4, and now I want to talk about the DIY version of the battlefield -

In early 1945, Major Harrington approached his subordinate, Beltoncooper, and asked him if he could do something.

Major Harrington did not want to lose this advanced tank in the first battle, so he ordered Lieutenant Cooper to find a way to improve the armor of the tank.

Just packing some sandbags would not please his boss, so Cooper had to think of another way.

At a German repair shop, he found several large pieces of 38mm boiler steel, which immediately gave him an idea. He welded two pieces of boiler steel together to form a V-shape, which was then mounted on the chariot as additional armor.

Unlike Pershing's own 46° normal angle of the head armor, the upper part of the V-shaped additional armor is arranged at a 60° normal angle, so there is a certain amount of space between the additional armor and the body, which can effectively protect against high-explosive and armor-piercing shells.

Although the boiler steel was certainly not as strong as the armor steel, Cooper believed that this large inclination arrangement and the hollowed-out composite armor in the middle could effectively resist German artillery fire.

In this repair shop, Cooper also found a damaged Panther, so he cut a piece of the Panther's front armor. After making a few holes for the coaxial machine gun and sighting equipment, Cooper was satisfied with the armor in front of the vehicle's gun shield.

However, after installing this thing, the turret was unbalanced. But it doesn't matter, Cooper used the traditional method of adding a counterweight to the rear to solve the problem, but there is a new problem -

Pershing's turret pitch mechanism was overweight in the front half, causing the barrel to not roll properly. However, how could this have stumped the quick-witted Lieutenant Cooper, who cut two more pieces of boiler steel and welded them to the counterweights on both sides of this armor plate, after which Pershing's turret pitch mechanism finally worked.

"That's true, but," Willisa paused, "it's about the same thrust-to-weight ratio as a KV-2." ”

Yuhanari: "But we can also destroy enemy vehicles at a greater distance, and besides, Chongtan didn't exist for sports warfare in the first place, and this level of armor, as long as you find a cover that can cover the hull, you can resist all the tanks head-on." ”

Willissa: "Deal with Hessian Peak, which most of the time only makes a sudden advance, and you can do it when you don't fight a decisive battle with the command vehicle; But the truth that most of the opponents in the next battle are good at sports warfare, I can imagine Katyusha-sama and the political commissar destroying this clumsy chariot. Also, the Super Pershing that Yuhanari wants can't do like the armor-reinforced T26E5 (if the 90mm long barrel can be equipped with the T26E5, the United States will not produce the T32), so it can only be done like history. ”

"Well, I know, so what?" Yuhanari tilted her head.

"In other words," Willisa tried to stand up in excitement, but her plastered leg prevented her from doing so, so she slapped the table, "we can't use Pershing's mass-produced additional armor, where are you going to find a bunch of carbon-coated boiler steel, and besides, are we going to be cheeky enough to go to Hesshorn and get a Panther turret now?" Or are you going to cut off a piece of Miho's Panther turret? ”
