One Thousand One Hundred and Seventy-Five Power Overflow
ps. Here is today’s update, and by the way, let’s vote for the "Starting Point" 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 tickets, and the voting will also give you starting point coins. I beg everyone to support and appreciate it!
The armor of the German Leopard tanks can't be described as thick at all in the sequence of German tank troops. At least the thickness of the front armor plate of the King Tiger tank at this stage is definitely more than twice as thick as that of the Leopard tank. . . However, there is a saying in China that goes, "If you compare yourself with others, you must die, and if you compare goods, you must throw them away."
The Type 97 tank in the hands of the Japanese army has a thickness of 25 millimeters of armor on the upper front of the tank, which is most likely to be hit. Even according to the bulletproof requirements of German armored reconnaissance vehicles, it can only be described as barely The level of protection of Japanese tanks. What is even more sad is that the Japanese tanks still have to discount this level of protection. This is because the Japanese tanks use a riveted steel plate structure, which is not known to be lower in grade than welding and casting structures.
After this kind of armor structure is hit by a shell, the steel plate that mainly bears the attack will not become the main stress-bearing part. The strong force will be transmitted to the riveted structure, causing the rivets to fall off, and then because the force is too large, these rivets will be damaged. It becomes a "bullet" flying everywhere in the car body, killing all the people and equipment in the tank.
It is for this reason that such stressed structures have been replaced by methods such as welding and casting, which have become obsolete designs. Modern tanks no longer use riveted structures, which can well explain that this design is a failure on tanks. But during World War II, many tanks had to adopt this design, such as Italian tanks, Japanese tanks and British tanks...
In contrast, the German Leopard tanks are superior to Japanese tanks in terms of the thickness of the armor, the angle of inclination of the armor, and the reasonableness of the armor structure. Maybe there is no comparison between the two, because this kind of horizontal comparison can even be said to be an insult to the German Panther tank.
The words are divided into two parts, to measure whether the armor thickness of a tank is sufficient, and to analyze the opponent's anti-armor capability. For example, even if the armor thickness of Japanese tanks is generally around 20 mm, when these tanks face the Chinese army that has no anti-tank guns and tanks at all, Japanese tanks can still be regarded as absolutely thick-skinned and thick-skinned.
Therefore, to analyze which of the two tanks that are hostile to each other has thicker armor, it also depends on the armor-piercing capabilities of both sides' artillery. In this regard, the gap between the Japanese army and the German army is even greater, so huge that people can't bear to look directly at it.
The Japanese Type 97 tank has a short-barreled gun with a caliber of 57 mm. This gun is actually a gun used to support infantry, and its armor-piercing ability is very general. How general it is, in fact, can only use a poor data to prove the backwardness of this artillery: this thing has no way to penetrate any German active tanks - from Leopard to King Tiger.
On the other hand, although the armor thickness of the German Leopard tank, which emphasizes maneuverability and reliability, is slightly outdated, after its improvement, the long-barreled 75mm caliber tank gun equipped with a 75mm caliber can definitely be regarded as One of the three most powerful guns in active service tank artillery.
The other two types of artillery surpass the German 75mm tank gun, one is the 88mm tank gun equipped on the Tiger tank, and the other is the 105mm tank gun that the King Tiger tank has just equipped. As for the 122mm caliber tank guns equipped by the Soviet Union, due to temporary modification and sub-loading of ammunition, the overall performance is not as good as the 75mm caliber tank guns used by the German army.
The Japanese army’s iron and steel smelting technology level is good. The tank armor 25mm thick can resist the 37mm caliber anti-tank gun. From the distance, the Japanese Type 97 tank was easily penetrated...
Of course, there are still many wonderful innovations in the design of Japanese tanks. For example, there is no communication device inside the Japanese tanks. So the Japanese army actually relied on gestures to communicate in the car.
Relying on slapping different parts of the driver to convey commands such as parking or accelerating, this is also a means of forcibly entertaining yourself on a chaotic battlefield. What's even more bizarre is that Japan actually calls this tank, which weighs only a dozen tons, a medium-sized tank-so hypnotizing its own tank troops, it really makes people laugh and cry.
The Japanese army still doesn’t understand such a huge gap. They don’t even know that because the Germans are far ahead in lens processing technology, the aiming system equipped on the Leopard tank can easily find Japanese tanks camouflaged at a distance of 1,000 meters. . So when the German army expanded its breakthrough, the gunner of a Leopard tank discovered a Japanese tank disguised as a grassland bush.
"I found a Japanese camouflage, maybe an anti-tank gun behind it, maybe a Japanese tank... Maybe I should open fire to greet these poor Japanese." The treatment of the German commander is very different from that of his Japanese counterparts No, at least German tanks are equipped with communication devices for crew members to communicate with each other, so whether the German tank commander is contacting his boss or giving mission orders to the driver's electromechanical officer, he does not need to rely on gestures or kicking his ass.
"The distance is more than 1,000 meters? If you fire at this distance, your shells may be bounced off by the opponent's armor." In another German tank following this tank, the commander swayed slightly and pressed his throat The communicator said to his comrades.
Hearing the suggestion in the earphones, the German tank commander who found the target didn't take it seriously, and said to the radio with a smile: "Have you read the Far East knowledge manual sent to you? The thickness of Japanese tank armor is comparable to that of -26 Almost, will you wait for the -26 tank to approach a distance of 800 meters before firing?"
"God, there are still people in this world who use -26 tanks to fight again...that's not a tank! I repeat that's not a tank! By our standards, that thing should be called a tracked armored reconnaissance vehicle! Or something else , but it can’t be called a tank!” The commander who sat in the tank and followed the tank in front continued to complain.
However, the German Leopard tank in front did not intend to waste any more time. Its turret pointed at the Japanese tank disguised as a bush in the distance, and then suddenly stopped advancing, and then fired fiercely, shooting out A deadly shell came.
When this powerful shell flew out of the muzzle of the Leopard tank's artillery, its speed had exceeded 1,000 meters per second. Such a high initial velocity gave this shell an unparalleled penetration ability. Because the speed was so fast, it only took a moment for this shell to span a distance of a thousand meters, tearing open the camouflage in front of the Japanese tank.
As if with a gust of wind, the grass used for camouflage was cut and smashed, and behind the weeds, there were sandbags piled up to increase the protection ability of Japanese tanks, which were also torn apart and splashed with huge force. In the end, the shell hit the armored deck of the Japanese tank with great force, making a loud noise that shook the sky.
"Boom!" Before the surrounding Japanese soldiers could react, the shell easily penetrated the armor of the Japanese tank, knocked off all the surrounding rivets, and left a fist on the front of the armor plate. Big blackened holes.
The Japanese tank hit by the shell shook, and the entire turret became slightly distorted due to the huge impact. The steel plates on the side of the turret used for protection were even broken, and the welding gaps were clearly exposed... You don't need to look at the internal structure to know that the tank has been completely destroyed.
The Japanese tank soldiers inside didn't even have time to react, they were already pierced by countless shrapnel and hot steel torrents, they didn't even have time to scream, and they went back to see their Amaterasu god.
In the face of Japanese tanks, the 75mm tank guns used by Germany are seriously overflowing in power! This shell even destroyed the front armor plate of the turret of the Japanese Type 97 tank, and then destroyed the self-defense machine gun hanging behind the turret of the tank, and then passed through the turrets of the two tanks. A few meters behind the body, it drilled into the soil, splashing a cloud of dust.
The Japanese tank commander Miyamoto, who was watching the battle not far away, was speechless by the scene in front of him. There were bushes and weeds in front of his tank for camouflage, and sandbags piled up on the bunker strengthened the protection. ... None of these methods seemed to be able to save the fate of this Japanese tank, because the opponent still destroyed it.
What is even more exaggerated, or even more unbelievable, is that after the German shells penetrated the armor of the Japanese tank, they even pierced the Japanese tank. Such a powerful force made Miyamoto, the Japanese tank commander Shocked so much, he had already begun to regret bringing his tank troops to such a place to die.
He couldn't figure out why the German tanks could fire so calmly at a distance of about 1,000 meters, and how the other party found his tank with only one turret exposed. He also couldn't understand why the opponent's tank gun was so accurate that it could hit a turret-sized target at a distance of 1,000 meters...
In short, Miyamoto was in a mess. It was the first time he had seen such a powerful opponent, which made him afraid.
