Akado was in a very good mood when he woke up the next morning. After all, the beauty of the country and the two beauties of Mercedes and Anna fell through the clouds last night, and there were not many opportunities to enjoy the blessings of the people. Refreshing and refreshing, he was very proud to change the clothes to go out under the service of two beauties and went to meet with the officer of the Arms Design Bureau.
He would like to hear reports on the progress of the Army ’s latest weapons. The person who came was the famous Colonel Demon, who is now the project leader of the Tiger King tank. After all, Stalin tanks have caused casualties to German soldiers on the front line. According to Akado, the progress of the development of German weapons must be tightened.
Because of the large number of new technologies used in the design of the Tiger King tank, Akado also stipulates that the design department must pursue the reliability and practicality of weapons, as well as the simplicity of production. This increases the design cycle of the Tiger King tank.
In fact, most of the headaches for German tank experts are concentrated on the turret. Among them, the 105mm caliber gun on the King Tiger tank and the fire stabilization system between the travels are the most headaches, or the weight of the entire artillery system is excessive. , Or the reliability is too low, causing system problems frequently.
Akado knows this because there is a certain relationship with the turret design of the German tank. Considering the level of protection, the front of the turret of the German tank uses a heavy artillery shield, and it is a huge shield with a terrible thickness. It is very difficult in itself to adjust the tank gun with a huge artillery shield using the shooting stabilization system.
Another time and space American Sherman m4 tank also has an artillery stabilization system, but the thickness of the artillery shield of the Sherman tank is not at the same level as the German tank, and the weight of the stabilization device is arbitrarily compared. Even so, there are still some problems with the reliability of this artillery stabilization system.
"My head." Like most German middle-ranking officers, Demon has a fanatical admiration for Akado. As a famous engine expert in Germany, he also has his own unique research on artillery and many weapon systems. In the office, Bi Gong stood respectfully and greeted Akado with a German ritual.
"Ah, Colonel Demon, I'm really happy to see you." For the truly capable personnel, Akado is willing to give enough respect. He is willing to forgive the betrayed Einstein and is willing to give pictures with special hobbies. Ling pimp is actually enough to explain all the problems.
"My head of state, let you take time out of your busy schedule to urge the research progress of the Tiger King tank, it really makes me as the general manager in shame, please be sure to believe me, I use your life to guarantee you, I will be in a month The internal production of the King Tiger tank began. "Demon stood in front of Akado and began to report the design progress of the King Tiger tank. He is a technical person with outstanding capabilities, so he is very fluent in the introduction.
The chassis design work of the entire Tiger King tank was completed very smoothly. After all, Germany has a very rich tank design experience, and Akado has the vision of the past life to check and suggest new tanks. The lower body of the entire Tiger King tank can be said to be A model of a classic main battle tank of later generations.
However, due to the limitations of the times, the method of reducing the weight of the tank by relying on composite armor cannot be achieved in the short term, so the front armor of this tank is still made of steel armor. The chassis weight of the tank is more than the design requirements. Slightly exceeded.
Another issue focused on the tank ’s diesel engine. This type of engine using new materials is satisfactory in terms of reliability and output power. It is also simple and convenient to manufacture, making up for the weight increase of the Tiger King tank. It is definitely more than enough. The only thing that makes people somewhat depressed is that the fuel consumption has increased slightly, resulting in this new King Tiger tank only having a maximum travel of 210 kilometers, which is 150 kilometers less than the maximum road travel of the Panther tank of 360 kilometers.
German tanks generally do not use the design of the auxiliary fuel tank outside the tank, so it seems that the stroke is relatively short, but in fact the common stroke in this period is this value. It cannot be said that the tiger tank and the leopard tank are short legs.
"The key problem is still with the turret." Demon was frustrated when he said this. His technical department had been studying the turret all day, and he was not able to research a reason. More desperate is that 105 The millimeter caliber artillery is not compatible with the current shooting stabilization system. With frequent failures and low efficiency, there is no way to meet the stringent standards for equipment used by the head of state.
"The night sighting system is fairly stable, but you can also put it into actual combat. You can also cancel this design if you can't. After all, it is not the main sighting system." Demon said of the turret and complained about the 105mm caliber tank gun. , And mentioned infrared night vision.
"Is there really so many problems in the development of a 105mm caliber tank gun?" Akado originally thought that Germany, who could develop a classic 120mm caliber tank gun in later generations, would be a piece of cake to study the 105mm caliber tank gun. It turned out that Akado was caught off guard. The problem was with this artillery.
"My head, this artillery is a joint project between the Rhine Heavy Metal Company and Krupp, a subsidiary of the Bailanhua Group. As a result, the penetrating performance and destructive power are amazing, but the recoil and weight cannot be allowed. Satisfied. "Demon said helplessly:" Especially the weight, if the artillery itself is acceptable, but the shield of the King Tiger tank ... "
Akado thought about the solution of future tanks, and suddenly came out a sentence that made Demon cry and laugh: "So, Colonel Demon, if the German tank cancels the artillery shield, can it reduce the weight of the artillery, Then you can install the shooting stabilization system? "
"My head." Demon continued to explain why this idea was too advanced or simply an idiot. "If the shield is cancelled, then the frontal protection performance of the tank turret will inevitably decline, even if you want to The solution has been resolved, and the structure has to be redesigned, and there will be no results for a while. "
"Then, if we say that the 88mm cannon is the same as the Tiger tank?" Akado finally decided not to continue the adventure on the Tiger King tank, but to adopt a more conservative design idea: to put it plainly is to use the current comparison Mature artillery system to accommodate more advanced new turret designs.
"To be honest, my head of state. It is not impossible to use an 88mm cannon, but we have also studied this program in private, and we have to admit that this way we can solve many technical problems and make our Tiger King tank more reliable and more reliable. Serve soon. "
He turned his head and continued: "However, the Soviet Union is currently expanding the production of advanced Stalin-type tanks on the Eastern Front. The protection level of this tank has leapfrogged compared to our enemies in the past, and this tank is equipped with newer equipment. The 122mm caliber artillery is comparable to our tank gun ... "
"It doesn't matter, the 105mm caliber artillery continues to intensify research. The first batch of the King Tiger tank uses the 88mm caliber artillery first, and accelerates its service as soon as possible." Akado waved his hand and said: "There is no evidence that the German tank artillery Unable to deal with the upcoming threat. Even a 75mm tank gun is not impossible to penetrate Stalin tank! "
In fact, in the most conventional tank exchange distance, German tanks can almost penetrate the armor of Stalin tanks, and the Germans now have a new weapon such as a gunship to deal with tanks. The demand for new tank guns is not as urgent as expected. . In fact, the 75mm caliber artillery that German tanks are generally equipped with has had a record of destroying Stalin tanks, so Akado is not worried that Stalin tanks can suppress German armored forces.
"But this is a pity after all, the Tiger King tank is a work that I put a lot of effort into, and such a proper association makes me absolutely imperfect." The German stubborn temper appeared again, and the pursuit of perfection in everything The obsessive-compulsive disorder made Demon feel uncomfortable again and quickly stood up and said to Akado: "Why not, let's try again ..."
"The perfect weapon is only available to God. We only have to do our best to be as good as possible. If our soldiers wo n’t fight without holding weapons better than their opponents, that ’s really desperate. "Akkado said with a smile:" And, we can improve the weapon in our own hands, until this weapon becomes perfect! "
"I hope so. After all, I really want to present a perfect weapon to our soldiers. They are willing to die for this country, and we have to do everything we can to make these warriors survive!" Demon said with some depression. . After all, his last work, the Tiger Tank, is definitely a classic of tank design in the whole world. It successfully combines the various performances of the tank in a balanced manner, so that the Germans have a full lead over the opponent on the tank.
"Your idea is right, but everything should not be rushed!" Akado stood up and was very satisfied with his men's performance. He patted the engine expert on the shoulder: "Trust me, afternoon When we go to the production workshop of the Tiger King tank, when mass production begins, I still hope I can take a look at it myself. "
He took the lead to the door of the conference room and turned to Demon with a smile: "Sometimes it is not shameful to compromise. It can save more soldiers' lives. Even if we bear some such shame, it is not bad for us people ,Right?"
De Meng was stunned, and then he laughed: "You are right, my head!"
