Chapter 2527 "How Exaggerated that Expression Must Be"

Can it also improve protection? So cool? ? ?

The left and right sides of the launch box are equipped with a whole piece of composite armor plate, replacing the original trial version of the rolled homogeneous steel armor plate, which was already exciting enough for Malashenko.

This at least means that the Germans' small iron fists and the wrong angle of incidence, or the tank killer rockets that can penetrate armor, can't bite the launch box of TOS-1. Compared with traditional homogeneous steel armor, the composite armor has a huge improvement in anti-armor penetration effect at the same weight, which is calculated by multiples. It is so refreshing.

But now, when Kotin told Malashenko that this improvement in protection performance is only part of it, and I have other protection improvements that I haven't told you, Malashenko's current state can only be described as "ecstasy", and he can't wait to know what Kotin is selling in this gourd.

"You mentioned in your letter that the Germans are still upgrading the power of their infantry anti-tank weapons. The latest Panzerfaust 100 can already be seen on the battlefield in large numbers. And according to the information given by the prisoners and the captured documents, the enemy has more powerful infantry anti-tank weapons under development and testing. I have written them down."

"We got the Panzerfaust 100 samples captured on the front line and sent back to the rear for research, and after conducting target shooting tests, we found that even if the TOS-1 box is equipped with composite armor, the thickness of the armor itself is not strong enough. When using the Panzerfaust 100 to bombard the armored target plate, there is still a relatively high penetration expectation, which is obviously unacceptable."

"We can't pin our hopes for effective defense on bombarding TOS-1 with a handheld Panzerfaust. The Nazi soldiers in the launch box are holding Panzerfaust 30 and Panzerfaust 60, not Panzerfaust 100. This unrealistic expectation of the enemy is irresponsible to our own soldiers. "

"As you said, this is not only a taboo for your front-line commanders, but I think it is also a taboo for those in charge of military research and development in the rear. As a team leader, you must not make such a serious mistake. "

"So I advocated reserving a protection upgrade design, and laying out a complete set of external additional armor installation buckles on the left and right armor plates of the mass-produced TOS-1 launch box. Although it looks like there are only some inconspicuous metal structural parts, they are all a bit unprepossessing, but believe me, when you need it, you will definitely be grateful for this upgrade reserve. "

"Another problem is that more The protective armor will inevitably affect mobility. This is an objective law that cannot be changed. There are gains and losses. "

"But thanks to the IS6's power system, which is far stronger than the IS2 chassis, it can output much more horsepower than the IS2 chassis prototype TOS-1. So even if the added weight of the entire set of external additional armor is calculated, we believe that the mass-produced TOS-1 still has stronger mobility than the prototype, and the speed will only be improved instead of slower than the prototype."

"If you want to thank, thank us for the design efforts we made together on the IS6 project. This is the unexpected additional benefit brought to us by the sapling we planted before and the towering tree. Who could have thought that one day we would face the current situation? Fortunately, you and I have many "With more comrades, we can design the IS6 well enough."

"As for how to use it reasonably on the battlefield, this is the problem you need to consider and decide. In a combat environment far away from the enemy, you can carry no additional armor and fight with higher mobility. If you want to fight the enemy in close combat and engage in street fighting, the protection gain brought by installing a full set of additional armor is definitely very cost-effective compared to the slightly reduced mobility. "

"Anyway, you don't need to drive at high speed in street fighting, am I right? Comrade division commander."

Facing Kotin's smiling question, Malashenko took the initiative to step forward and reached out to touch the cold but powerful side armor of the TOS-1 launch box. He felt that Kotin had put a lot of effort in this project and answered with gratitude.

"It's hard to imagine how exaggerated the Germans' expressions would be when they risked their lives to go around to the side with their iron fists and hit the launch box, leaving only a black mark."

"I can't think of any better design than this. You have almost improved all the problems we found in the prototype, and the two most troublesome weaknesses have been targeted and strengthened. Now, it's the turn of those Nazi scum to have a headache in the sound of destruction, provided that they really have time and can feel the headache at that time."

According to Kokin's introduction, the defense system of the TOS-1 launch box side armor in full protection state is "outer homogeneous steel + rubber interlayer + inner homogeneous steel of modular additional armor plate + outer homogeneous steel + rubber interlayer + inner homogeneous steel of the basic side armor of the box", a total of 6 composite defenses.

Oh, no, if we count the air gap layer between the external module additional armor and the basic armor, which is not deliberately designed but does exist, and can also slightly disperse the metal jet to a certain extent and improve the anti-armor ability, then the total is 7 layers of composite defense.

To be honest, a very scary fact for the Germans is that.

Not to mention that the Panzerfaust and the tank killer can hardly shake this level of composite defense, even if you pull out a barreled artillery and aim at the armor-piercing shells and directly shoot, it may not be able to break the side defense of the launch box of the TOS-1 when it is fully loaded.

After all, the armor penetration depth of artillery-fired armor-piercing shells depends on the amount of charge, and the amount of charge in the warhead of the projectile is directly related to the caliber of the shell, that is, the caliber of the artillery. It is well known that you Germans like high-magnification, small-caliber, small-pipe direct-aiming artillery. In the project of firing artillery-fired armor-piercing shells, it is a natural shortcoming that is restrained, and there is really no advantage in power attributes.

So you want to break the side armor of the TOS-1 launch box in a fully loaded state?

Move the armor-piercing weapon to the side and find a powerful enough barreled artillery to penetrate the armor before talking.

What? The front of the launch box is unprotected, and it is still a weakness?

Count how many Germans dare to face the front of the TOS-1 launch box, and the 16 rocket nests that are densely packed like a hornet's nest, and don't run away. Being faced with this thing, you don't even have time to run, and you dare to fight with the small water pipe, mop stick and 310mm giant shells in your hand? There is no other way to find death.

"Very good, very perfect! To be honest, I can't wait to see her conquer Nazi Germany. Those Germans in Berlin will definitely like her. I guarantee that those who don't like her will never have a chance to speak."
