Chapter 1145: Stalin tank

Historically, the Stalin tank did not appear until 43 years, and this tank has undergone many deformations.
After all, in the real history, Germany is only skilled in the tactical use of tanks, and the quality of German tanks is not higher than that of the Soviet Union.
When Operation Barbarossa began, the number of tanks No. 3 and No. 4 in the German tank force was still very small.
The Soviet army on the opposite side has already begun to equip the T-34 with such a powerful tank, not to mention the KV-2 tank that appeared later. Germany has almost no weapons that can penetrate it, making the German armored soldiers quite helpless.
Therefore, Germany is also stepping up research and development. Finally, at the end of 1942, the Tiger tank appeared on the soil of the Soviet Union, and the Panther tank appeared in Kursk in 43 years. The appearance of these two tanks broke the quality advantage of the Red Empire. The Soviet Union needed a tank that could go head-on with the new Nazi tanks.
In this case, the Soviet Union began to develop a new tank that can counter the Tiger tank. The design bureau of the Cherinbinsk-Kirovski factory in Kotin took over this task, and their result was the Stalin tank.
But it is different now. At the time of the invasion of the Soviet Union, Germany was already in groups of tigers and leopards, and of course the Soviet Union was not only beaten but not fight back.
Especially the mass production of T-34 tanks made Kotin feel dull on his face. He always believed that relying on the tactics of the tank sea to counter Germany’s quality advantages was not appropriate, so he was still developing new heavy tanks Of course, in the research and development, he absorbed a lot of T-34 experience, and finally came up with the current Stalin tank.
Among them, the choice of weapons is an important point. The 76mm gun has been proved to be inadequate. They tried the 85mm gun and the 100mm gun. They all felt the power was insufficient, and finally chose the current 122mm gun.
This gun is also the latest 122mm cannon. The lethality of this gun is quite powerful. For example, when using a 25.1 kg cap-piercing projectile, it can penetrate 160 mm thick uniform steel armor at a distance of 1000 meters. The plate can penetrate 120 mm thick uniform steel armor plate at a distance of 2000 meters.
Although they have not inspected it, the armor of the German tank is absolutely impossible to exceed 160 mm thick, right? Therefore, the Stalin tank can be guaranteed to be destroyed on hit, and there will never be a situation where the tank soldiers shouted and failed to penetrate!
At the same time, in order to increase protection, they made the turret into a smooth bulletproof shape, which is much more perfect than the T-34 design.
Unfortunately, although the diameter of the seat ring was increased, the space inside the turret was not sufficient, which caused the turret to be quite crowded. The ammunition base was only 28 rounds and only 10 armor-piercing rounds.
However, the price is worth it. The Stalin tank has the strongest protection of Soviet tanks. The inclined armor of its hull and turret comprehensively improves the protection of the tank. In terms of specific data, the thickness of the armor in front of the turret has reached the terrible data of 240 mm effective thickness!
It is impossible for a German tank to penetrate a Stalin tank!
Now, in this Stalin tank, the commander Berokov shouted to his gunner: "Target, the first Panther 3 tank on the right wing of the opponent, fire!"
"Boom!" The 122mm tank gun made a huge roar.
At the muzzle, the brakes spewed gun smoke backwards. Even so, huge recoil was transmitted to the turret, and the entire car seemed to tremble.
"Quick, reload!" Berokov shouted loudly. The split tank gun is very difficult to reload. He must fire another shot when the opponent's tank moves in front of his side!
As he shouted, he looked at the target tank in his vision, so clear.
In fact, the accuracy of Soviet tanks has never been good, even his current 122mm tank gun. Although it has strong armor penetration performance, it does not have enough accuracy. It is about the same within 500 meters, but if it is really 500 meters. When Mishang fired, they could only shoot once. The German tanks rushed too hard.
not good!
When he was shooting, he aimed at the opportunity. He ordered the shooting when the opponent stopped to fire. Who knows, the Germans fired it in less than a second, and then they started again!
It takes more than a second for his shell to fly over. During this time, how far can the opponent go? May leave his impact point!
"Boom!" The gunner moved the shell, causing the tank's body to sway, and his vision suddenly expanded.
Berokov's face was happy, his shells did not hit the target tank, but hit the tank behind the opponent!
The blunt-headed armor-piercing projectile ~EbookFREE.me~ hit the Panther 3 tank, directly on the nickel alloy armor.
In fact, the front of this tank is hung with composite armor. If there is composite armor to block it again, the Panther 3 tank can still be hard supported, but this piece of armor has already been in the first impact. After being hit by two shells, the ceramic armor inside was almost scrapped and didn't work.
The nickel alloy armor is trying to block the attack of the opponent's shells. The thickness of this side is 130 mm. It is the position of its most critical gun shield. When converted into Soviet armor, the thickness is almost 160 mm.
Just at the thickness of a 122 mm shell penetrated!
The cannonball burrowed in, and when the kinetic energy of the cannonball was almost completely exhausted, it finally got in!
"Boom!" As soon as the shell penetrated, the molten iron flow around the shell entered the interior of the tank. Together with the impact of the shell itself, the Panther 3 tank exploded violently.
No one came out alive. When the tank is penetrated, the tank is our best home. This is the battle song of the German armored soldiers!
Twenty Stalin tanks started the first round of shooting at the German tanks at a distance of one kilometer, but only this one was destroyed.
The others are all flying. At this distance, they simply don't have enough accuracy at all.
However, the Soviets are still rejoicing.
Wrecked, finally destroyed the German tank!
For a long time, German tanks have carried a sacred aura. It seems that there has never been a kind of artillery that can penetrate the German tanks. It is simply an invincible presence on the battlefield. Now, this invincible aura has been captured. !
If your firepower is not strong enough, then you will be thicker! Soviet tanks are just caliber!
