Chapter 2 Fourth Sister, You've Lost Weight
Willisa told Yelyusa that she had obtained about 10t of the No. IV tank destroyer that Biegen had eliminated, and Yelyusa was dumbfounded.
Viggen High School (Sweden) is a school with Niigata Port as its home port, and the name "Viggen-High-School" is the Swedish word for "lightning".
In 1776, the Swedish botanist Carl Peter Thunberg came to Japan to study plants, which became the reason why the university was based on botany. Since then, the school has also opened an industrial department with a focus on steel, an agricultural department with a focus on productivity, and a rare carpentry department, as well as a major investment in fashion design and urban design, so the school's home economics department is also very popular.
Although Bigun High School actively participates in the battle lane, it is basically unable to participate in the competition of the battle lane due to the small number of people. The main vehicle was the Strv m/42 with a 75mm gun, and the Strv L60 with a 20mm Andersen gun and the Strv m/40 with a Bofors 37mm gun were the basic ones.
In the past year or so, they have also counted a small number of tanks III and IV, and in the sense of the battle lane, they have become a mixed tank of various countries. They also participated in a national competition, but the IV tank destroyer did not appear to be seen. But that's not the point—
The Tank IV is a German self-propelled anti-tank gun, one of the three main variants developed from the chassis of the Tank IV. The main body of the vehicle was armed with a 75mm gun, which was originally designed to be equipped with a PaK 42L/70 x diameter gun, but due to the lack of production quantity, the pre-production model and the early production type were equipped with the older 75mm PaK39L/48 x diameter gun, which was the main gun later adopted by the 38(t) stalker. This gun has a shorter barrel and is not as powerful as the PaK42. The late-production version was equipped with a larger multiplier main gun, which resulted in the front of the IV tank destroyer being too heavy, especially the heavy front armor. This drastically reduced the car's maneuverability and off-road performance, which earned it the nickname "Guderian Ente" by the crew. But the guns that are the same as the Panther tanks are powerful enough, and until a few years ago, the Hessian Peak still had a lot of them, as the main output force of the 20T class tank.
Forget it, the problem is the foundation of the IV tank, but there are 24t~26t tanks. Where does it meet Willissa's requirements?
"No, I'm talking about an authentic Swedish car, and that car is actually ............" Willisa was sitting up and was about to explain, when she was interrupted by Yelyusa reaching out -
"Let's talk about the key points, there is no need to talk about the history of research and development and the history of operations."
Ye Liusha knew that if it wasn't to report to work but to chat, occasionally Hui Lisha could "speak" for a long time, although only occasionally, it didn't matter if Ye Liusha was idle to pass the time to listen, but now she didn't plan to do this, and these probabilities must be eliminated.
Willisa didn't feel that she was talking for a long time, and she didn't realize it, because Yuhana could speak longer.
“…… I know. Although Hui Lisha didn't have the idea of making a particularly long speech this time, at most a few hundred words, she still nodded to Ye Liusha-
Far away in the Oarai Women's College, the last thing to get is the Swedish Strv m/40 light tank, the Strv L60 light tank development developed by Landsverk in 1934.
The Strv m/40 light tank, which is also a later version of the L60 light tank, has been designed in a very traditional form from the early to late L60 models: the engine is rear, the members are in the front, and the turret is in the center, but there are also a number of obvious features: for example, the periscope towering above the turret provides sufficient visibility for the occupants.
The L60 light tank, originally weighing 9.6t, 4.6m long, 1.98m high, and 2.01m wide, has a protection of about 5-20mm, equipped with a 20mm cannon, and has a rate of fire of 350 rounds per minute - of course, it is not the prototype of a certain Sherman M1, and a muzzle velocity of 790m/s, with an effective range of about 500 meters, and the secondary weapon simply chose two Madsen M39 machine guns. The powertrain is a Bussing-Nag V8 engine that delivers between 150 and 160 hp and reaches speeds of 48 km/h in ideal conditions. The distance is about 270km.
The M40 series was developed by the Swedish military in response to the increasingly tense security situation in the aftermath of the Norwegian campaign. They replaced the M39 with a completely redesigned turret, using a Bofors 37mm anti-tank gun and two Madsen M39 machine guns, while the biggest improvement in the turret was the very practical commander's tower, while the new Scania L603 engine kept it at 48 km/h.
Most of the vehicles that Willisa got now are the M40 version, which is quite in line with the requirements that Willisa needs to be transferred to civilian use when necessary. At the same time, the appearance of this combat vehicle is very satisfying.
However, of course, the Bofors 37mm anti-tank gun is a very good anti-tank weapon in the early stage of World War II, and it can hit light tanks and crispy medium tanks at most, which cannot satisfy the Wellisha, who is used to Maozi at least 45mm anti-tank guns, and Wellissa often uses 76.2mm cannons even in combat competitions.
As a result, the Strv m/40 light tank turned out to be the ultimate complete body of the legend, maintaining its current hull and being hard-loaded with a 57mm m/43 gun. The firepower is similar to that of the American M1 anti-tank gun, and the 10t tank has this level of firepower is quite strong.
Then this tank was named PVKVIV., which literally translates to "IV. Tank Destroyer".
It was too reluctant to fit a gun of the size of 57mm (for a 10T-class vehicle) into such a small tank, and more than half of the gun's anti-recoil device was exposed outside the turret, which felt like it was shoehorned in, and in fact it was almost shoehorned in.
Ye Liusha put her finger on her chin and thought about it, she seemed to have the impression that there was a national competition in which such a chariot appeared in Biegen University as a chariot for fighting black guns.
Don't look at the Swedish light tank used by Biagan University, it seems to be very off-the-beaten, but in fact, due to some of the distinctive places, there are also enough audiences in the battle lane, and the battle lane competition is at best a reconnaissance vehicle, but it can sometimes be seen in other tank activities. So it's easy to solve on the side of the Battlelane Alliance and the tank repair shop.
However, of course, the version that generally appears is equipped with a Bofors 37mm anti-tank gun or a 20~25mm cannon, because whether it is a reconnaissance vehicle for the Lane Race or a combat vehicle for other combat activities, it does not require very high firepower, and it is really rare to be equipped with a 57mm gun.
Because Biegun High School once had a slight chance of facing the School of Truth in the Battle Lane National Competition-if someone can win the semi-finals, Ye Liusha has also paid a little attention to it............
