Chapter 1462 Now Is the Time for Loving Fathers

The loss rate of German tanks was rising steadily, and the absolute numerical advantage of Soviet tanks became more and more obvious and strong.

If it was just a numerical advantage, it would be fine, but the problem was that the enemy's tanks also had an advantage in quality, at least their protection performance was definitely much better than ours.

Those Russian heavy tanks that were everywhere and rushed around like tigers and sheep were simply unstoppable.

Some German armored soldiers who reacted quickly pointed their guns at the side armor that should have been very fragile. But the result of the shot was just a loud bang that followed, and the dazzling sparks produced by the violent friction and collision between the armor-piercing projectile and the armor.

Apart from this, there was nothing else, no strong tank explosions, and no Russian tanks stopped on the spot after the armor was penetrated.

Those Russian heavy tanks that could even withstand the bombardment of the Chang 75 main gun at close range with their turrets and sides were like ferocious steel monsters and Satan's servants crawling out of horror stories. Their indestructible absolute defense made people despair!

"Damn it! It's really a ghost! Why can't they even penetrate the sides? What kind of monsters did these Russians create?!"

"Shut up and keep shooting! Shoot at the turret ring this time. The Russian tractor can't be invincible! There must be a weakness!"

The SS, who saw that they couldn't penetrate the armor, began to come up with some weird ideas, such as shooting at the junction of the IS6's turret and body, that is, the turret ring.

In 1941, when facing the seemingly invincible T34, the German army used this method to fire at the turret ring. Although it failed to completely destroy it, it paralyzed one T34 after another and made it lose its combat effectiveness. The turret steering machine was stuck by the projectile fragments or deformed by the impact, and the turret could no longer be rotated.

Although it is an old and outdated method, considering that the design and configuration principles of tanks are basically the same, shooting at the turret ring position should still be effective, at least it can make the Russian turret steering machine stuck, which is enough.

The surging IS6 still stepped on the accelerator and maneuvered at high speed towards the side and rear of the German tank. With the dual blessing of the double-stream traditional track and the electric turret steering machine, the Panther 2 can barely keep up with the enemy's speed, and the turret can basically aim at the position you want to hit.

The SS gunner who had loaded the armor-piercing shell into the chamber did not hesitate. After making sure that he had aimed at the vital part he wanted to aim at, he immediately pulled the main gun trigger on the crank handle to fire the shell.

Boom--

The muzzle of the 75mm main gun, which was as slender as a fishing rod, shook, and the scattered flames expanded and dispersed in the muzzle brake, rushing out from both sides of the chamber to offset most of the recoil of the firing.

The armor-piercing shell that came out of the chamber was not the commonly used full-caliber capped armor-piercing shell, but the sub-caliber tungsten core armor-piercing shell that was regarded as the supreme artifact by the German army and had a stronger armor-piercing power against vertical armor.

If it was to hit the small seat ring part where the turret and the body were combined, the full-caliber capped armor-piercing shell would most likely be bounced off on the spot and could not penetrate at all. The exaggerated Russian tank turret and body are irregular in shape, and the probability of ricochet is quite large and should not be underestimated.

During the armor-piercing process, the sub-caliber tungsten core armor-piercing projectiles are the kind that squeeze the tungsten core armor-piercing body out of the body wrapping state and continue to penetrate the armor. It seems that because of the small size of the tungsten core armor-piercing body, it is easier to do the delicate work of shooting the turret ring, and it is not easy to be directly bounced off like a full-caliber armor-piercing projectile.

This statement is not groundless. When dealing with T34 in 1941, this was the experience summed up by the German armored soldiers.

Anyway, the Russians can't make the turret ring into inclined armor. As long as they can accurately hit the joint and send the tungsten core armor-piercing body in, then it is no problem to penetrate the turret ring. There is no possibility that the sub-caliber tungsten core armor-piercing projectile will also bounce.

At least, in theory, it does not exist. The SS gunners are so sure in their hearts, comforting themselves and convinced.

But is the truth really like this?

That's not necessarily the case.

When the armor-piercing shells really hit the junction of the turret and the hull, the scene that shocked the SS armored soldiers was staged again.

It is hard to imagine how the Russians made such a weird steel monster. After the shells hit it and heard a sound, the SS gunners who looked closely found that the Russians' big iron turtle did not have a "neck" at all. In other words, there was no exposed and visible turret ring at all.

Because of the angle problem and the nerves in the combat state were too tense, the SS gunners who were in a hurry and sweat on their foreheads did not notice this important detail at all.

Until the sub-caliber tungsten core armor-piercing shells hit it, it was directly bounced off by the arc armor on the lower edge of the turret side armor, and then hit the tilted upper armor of the hull vertically downwards, and then bounced again.

When he was once again catapulted to an unknown place like a three-dimensional pinball, the shocked SS gunner, with his jaw opened almost as wide as a hippopotamus, finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

The turret side armor can't be penetrated, and the hull side armor can't be penetrated either. I finally thought of the old method used to deal with the T34 before and wanted to repeat the old trick, but who knew that the Russians had learned to be smart and directly improved the design. This new iron turtle can't even see the neck! The turret is directly under the hull, and there is not even a turret ring exposed!

Even if there is, it is definitely a tiny gap that can only be seen by people standing next to the car with the naked eye.

Want to shoot the shell through this finger-wide gap?

Are you crazy? This is the earth's solid armor-piercing shell, not the particle armor-piercing shell of Anton Star!

The nearly desperate SS armored soldiers tried to fire repeatedly, but they could not find the real weakness of this Russian steel monster.

The cruel battlefield gives equal opportunities to both sides of the war, and will never favor either side or deliberately give more opportunities.

This SS Panther 2 has taken advantage of the IS6's long reload time and tried several times to fire with potentially fatal aftereffects, but ultimately got nothing. In the turn-based game, it was time for the IS6's 122mm heirloom to roar.

Now is the time for the loving father!

Boom--

The thunderous roar of the 122mm main gun shocked the war-torn land and the surrounding air. The large-caliber armor-piercing projectiles that rushed out of the muzzle directly hit the rear engine compartment of the Panther 2, poured in from the side, and triggered the charge in the core part of the power compartment to detonate instantly!

After a huge bang, before I could see the little head of the Panther 2, I saw the gasoline engine that was blown crooked and sent up first, and was blown directly from the power compartment into the air, like a falling star.
