#1139 Positive Effect (Plus 1)
How long does it take to stop, aim, shoot, and restart? For an experienced tank crew, it can be completely controlled within ten seconds. For a tank crew like Modlin, five seconds is enough.
When they just started, they have been aiming, just waiting for the opportunity, both sides are facing forward. At this time, it is only necessary to fine-tune the angle of the tank turret. As for the pitch of the gun body, as long as it is determined The distance and the elevation angle are also determined.
As early as the start of the dispatch, the loader has already stuffed the shells into the gun chambers. To deal with the T-34 tank, the 88mm ordinary .PzG.39 quilted armor-piercing projectile is more than enough.
"Boom!" Modlin's tank gun fired first! A black smoke came out from the muzzle, and in the hot gas, the warhead flew towards the opposite Soviet tank.
One second after his tank gun fired, the Tiger tank next to him also fired, and two seconds later, the eight Panther 3 tanks on both sides fired almost simultaneously.
The black smoke from the muzzle spread rapidly, covering the entire formation, and Modlin's order came from the radio again: "Go on!"
An armor-piercing projectile accurately hit the turret of a T-34. The turret with a large inclination can make the projectile be bounced like a drift.
However, the armor-piercing projectile was not thrown away. The hood in front of it was smashed almost at once. When it was smashed, it bounced slightly, but the hood was smashed off later.
The blunt head quilt at the back was exposed, and hit the top of the T-34 abruptly. At this time, the blunt head had a strange effect. When the flying shells came into contact with the turret of the T-34, It was a large angle that was easy to jump, but after hitting the blunt tip, the cannonball was twisted abruptly.
This is the prominent role of blunt armor-piercing bullets, which can provide a good positive effect, allowing the bullet to shoot directly, so that all its energy can be applied and the loss is smaller!
In World War II, due to the existence of the positive effect, blunt armor-piercing bullets were widely used. At the same time, because the blunt head would bring greater flight resistance, a sharp hood was put on the front. This is the most common. Cap (hood) armor-piercing projectile.
The armor-piercing projectile on the German 88mm tank gun also has a penetration depth of 99mm at a distance of 1,000 meters. The 90mm armor at a 60-degree angle on the front of the T-34 tank cannot stop the German armor-piercing projectile at all. !
After all, this is Soviet armor. If it is converted into German armor, the thickness is not even 80 mm.
The front hood and quilt are relatively soft materials. Under the impact, they will deform, even melt or bounce. The real armor-piercing effect is the rear armor-piercing projectile.
The warhead of the steel-core armor-piercing projectile behind it, like a relay race, started its own mission. It drilled towards the turret of the T-34 at a speed of more than 700 meters per second.
The material of this kind of turret is not hard at all, and at the same time, when it was halfway through, it felt that the front suddenly loosened, and it hit a big bubble!
As long as it is a cast turret, bubbles cannot be avoided. This is determined by the basic metallurgical principle. However, the Soviet tanks use cast turrets without exception, because this turret is more convenient and easy to form the best Bulletproof shape.
At the same time, it is also because of the welding technology.
It is not so easy to weld thick steel plates, especially to keep the mechanical strength of the welds from being reduced. During World War II, Germany did the best.
A large bubble of a few millimeters made it relieved, and then it continued to drill forward with all its strength, and finally, this time, it drilled completely.
"Boom!" When the cannonball got in, there was a pile of ammunition facing the back of the turret. It hit the ammunition accurately, and then, in the violent explosion, the T-34 tank exploded. .
From the seat ring, a black smoke came out, and then the turret jumped half a meter from the body and fell heavily. No one could escape from it, and they all disappeared with the tank.
The fierce battle has begun!
Go ahead, keep going!
Soviet tank soldiers know that their 76mm tank guns must be within 500 meters to have a sufficient hit rate, especially now that the Germans are lined up in dense formations, which is simply increasing the hit rate for their own side. It is necessary to recklessly shorten the distance between the two sides to five hundred meters!
No sacrifice!
There are constantly T-34 tanks that are shot and set on fire, and the tanks behind it move up in obscurity to fill the vacancy. This kind of frontal steel collision is comparing who is stronger!
Soviet tank soldiers, do not fear death!
When the bell-shaped tank formation rushed to a distance of 500 meters, it had fired five or six salvos. Each time even if only two tanks were hit, they had already killed about ten tanks on the opposite side!
This number is terrifying, because there are fifteen in all such bell formations!
This means that at a distance of 500 meters from 1,000 meters, the number of tanks lost by the Soviet Union exceeded 100. This is only a conservative figure. In fact, only Modlin's own tanks killed three tanks. The opposing Soviet tanks, Modlin's formation, killed sixteen opposing tanks!
During the attack, the Soviet tank troops were already sparse. At this time, the commander of the Soviet 35th Tank Division had realized that it was not good.
If this goes on, his troops will soon be gone!
As the distance approached, the hit rate of the shells also increased, and finally, the remaining T-34 tanks began to fight back.
Fire!
The gunner stepped on the trigger fiercely, and the 76mm shells flew towards the opposite side!
The Germans, actually lined up in such a dense formation, are simply looking for a fight!
The Soviet tank soldiers roared, and their shells flew towards the opposite side one by one.
"Boom!" A 76mm blunt armor-piercing bullet slammed into the armor of the Tiger tank. In the battle just now, it had been beaten all the time. Now, it is finally going to fight back!
The blunt head also easily straightened the shell and began to drill hard, but then, it found out why the armor in front was so hard?
The hardness of ceramic armor is, of course, harder than Germany's densest armor steel! The 76mm armor-piercing projectile drilled hard, and a lot of energy was consumed.
When its head finally loosened, it felt that it almost took all the strength of the whole body. It was relieved at first, thinking that it had drilled through, and then the head was pressed against something hard.
The composite armor has just been drilled, and now it is the official turret armor!
