Chapter 35: The Impossible "KV-122"

"But, we're not underestimating them, in fact, when will they survive the game until they run out of ammunition?" Suzuki interjected.

"That's right...... No, I don't. ”

The girls of the Oarai Chariot Department are talking about Rei's chariot, and although Willisa said that the truth of this semester is not to discard the parts needed by Oarai, but in line with the principle of not wasting it, Oarai still arranged a "salvage" at the recycling station.

At the very least, there are some spare parts for other vehicles, and some of the vehicles that have been reassembled on the spot don't seem to be very durable, and the extra parts of the exercises outside of the usual course are not easy to reimburse.

As a result, I found something that could be used to maintain Soviet-type tanks and tanks with Soviet-made parts, and there were also some seemingly superfluous things, such as a dozen 76.2mm gun barrels with different lengths and wall thicknesses, 76.2mm seems to be the caliber tradition of early Soviet tank cannons, starting with the F-22 (TG-1), a vehicle developed in cooperation during the Soviet-German honeymoon.

PLUS SOME OTHER GROCERIES, SOME CAN BE USED AS UNIMPORTANT SPARE PARTS FOR MARESAL AND KV AND IS, AND SOME SEEM USELESS, BUT IN SHORT, IT TURNS OUT THAT YOU CAN MAKE UP AN M-04 version of MARESAL Tanji.

This made the schoolgirl who got the MARESAL (M-03) a little excited, after all, the 122mm M30 howitzer is very unfriendly to novices, even if it is the only successful gun in the previous game of MARESAL .

This also made Ling have a little bit of anticipation, because in this way she could "recreate" the "KV-122" that she thought was quite "tall". Of course, KV-122 is impossible, but after a large number of operations of about 30t T-34, some people think that KV-1 is so big and uses the same gun as T-34, which is too small, so there have been attempts to carry 122mmM30 howitzers -

The KV-9 heavy artillery assault tank, codenamed Project 229, was primarily designed to replace the mass-produced KV-1 with a more powerful 122mm howitzer in place of the lost KV-2. Its output efficiency is higher than that of the KV-2, and its maneuverability is also better than that of the KV-2, and it is used to destroy enemy pillboxes and fortified bunkers. It's a pity that after it was built, it was found that the rate of fire was too slow, and the penetration effect of the howitzer against the tank was also very touching, so only a very small batch of production participated in the battle, and its turret with a 122mm gun was also installed as the turret of the IS-2 experimental vehicle, but after the IS-43 with a 122mm D-25T gun with a double diameter of up to 25 appeared, it lost its value of existence.

It cannot be denied that the main gun of the KV-9 is indeed more powerful than the KV-1 of the tabula rasa.

Ling is looking forward to riding on the KV-9 heavy artillery assault tank, which looks like another "KV-122". However, I didn't have time to modify it, and the amount of work to change the two vehicles was a bit high, and unlike the national competitions with a loose schedule, I didn't have much leisure time recently.

In order to save trouble, simply install a 76.2mm anti-aircraft gun barrel that is longer than the 42.5 times diameter main gun of the KV-1 among the various 76.2mm gun barrels that have been "salvaged", at least to increase the penetration depth.

According to the original idea, the KV-4 will also produce a test vehicle equipped with this weapon, this tank gun directly uses the barrel of the untruncated 76.2mm anti-aircraft gun (the predecessor of the early T-34/85 and IS-1 main guns, the predecessor of the 85mm 52-K gun), and the double diameter is the same as the main gun of the German Panther tank! The penetration depth should be significantly improved compared to the latest T-34 main gun of the Soviet army, that is, the 76.2mm F-34 tank gun.

It's just that just replacing the barrel naturally has a lot of problems, and if it is okay, there will be fewer activities to weaken the barrel penetration that those towed guns do with tank guns (some tank guns have a truncated barrel design that is not a problem of excessive recoil, but other problems such as the shift of the vehicle's center of gravity or the misalignment of the load bearing of the turret seat).

However, it must not be forgotten that the Soviet Maozi had a preference for large-caliber artillery, the project did not continue and was eventually abandoned.

In short, if you can install it, install it first, considering that the battle lane has solved a lot of problems with shell weight reduction, the back seat does not need to be changed, just change a gun barrel, and raise the gun shield part, it seems that the automatic car department pad gun shield is quite skilled, and the carbon coating is re-brushed after using those casually used steel plates.

However, as a result of increasing the advance time in the barrel by doubling the diameter to increase the initial velocity of the projectile, the shell became a little floaty, and the shell fired by Ling's gunner was bounced off by the T-34/85 magic ricochet. If it is a 122mm heavyweight grenade, it can theoretically blow up the equivalent of penetrating the side of the T-34.

In that match against the truth, the number of chariots on both sides was almost the same, and if one more chariot had been destroyed at that time, it might have been won.

"KV-122, KV-122, KV of 122 guns, no." Ling said as she stroked the brown braided bracelet on the wrist of her other hand.

"Unfortunately, assumptions don't make sense." Mao said in a deep voice.

"Yes, it's also true that we don't have enough strength. Otherwise, there wouldn't be this. The bracelet was the bracelet that was braided by the hair cut off by Erisa, who was born as the commander of the KV-122.

"Alas~" Ling and Mao and the others who gathered together sighed together.

"However, you guys have a lot of requests." Nakajima fiddled with the wrench that had already done the work a second ago and continued, "I have seen a lot of chariot battles before we started the battle lane, although they are small, but everyone's requirements for chariots are not so harsh, and those who are qualified to play a battle are basically satisfied." ”

"I was infected by the Akiyama sisters."

"Ah, the sisters seem to like it."

That's what they said. The schoolgirls of the Bunny Team also reacted -

Zezi: "Speaking of which, our chariots have also become stronger because of them. ”

Gui Lina: "Sure enough, DIY is fun? ”

"But changing 90 shots is much more tiring than daily maintenance, and it would be better if you didn't have to take a shower every time you upgrade~" Yuki Utsuki said wiping his sweat.

"Hey! Don't just chat, it's almost time to leave! After inspecting his chariot, the round chestnut ran over and pointed at a few people and shouted.

"Is it really okay if it was like this before the game?" Yuzu on the student council's side showed a hint of concern.

"Isn't it great? Everyone is very motivated. "The president looks like paddling.

"Really, if only all this energy could be used in combat." Kawashima Momo seemed to hold his forehead with a look of hatred.

"But, isn't this why Xiao Momo has been keen to scrape together enough chariots and parts lately to make everyone quarrel?" Yuzu smirked.

"Long-winded! We're all about to leave the student union, and I want to do more to save the school's curriculum at the end. Kawashima Tao raised his hand and skimmed his face, a little unpleasant.

If you work hard for the public and others, or even share some of the work of others, but you produce a little bad result, everyone will be unhappy.

If Miho and Yuhanari and the others were here, how would they try to solve this kind of scene? It's a pity that they are still in the ministry in the battle meeting, until the chariot is on board and departing.
