Chapter 1148: The cannonball problem

Berokov knew very well that when loading shells and rotating the turret, of course, the turret must be rotated first. Only in this way can the strongest main armor in front of the turret face the most dangerous place.
After turning over, it’s not too late to reload the shells. If he doesn’t turn over first, then maybe he will never have the opportunity to reload the shells and fire.
However, he still didn't expect it, and the accident happened again.
When the pain came from his foot again, he waved his fist and slammed it on the bridge of the loader's nose: "Cordia, when this battle is over, you will roll back to Central Asia. !"
Anyway, it's smashing. I don't mind doing it again. After I go back, I'm afraid this foot is useless.
After such a delay, the rotation of his tank turret slowed down.
At this time, the bell-shaped formations of German tanks that passed him by, the turrets were turning neatly and uniformly. If viewed from the sky, it was quite pleasing to the eye.
The tanks on both sides turned their turrets to each side, and the tanks were still advancing at high speed, and the turrets had already swept back.
Hit the back of the opponent's head!
In the era of World War II, because there was no advanced fire control system, the tank could not shoot while it was moving. However, afterwards, it became impossible to turn the turret while it was moving due to misrepresentation.
If you can't turn the turret on the move, what use is the tank?
However, on the other hand, the turret of the Tiger tank does not rotate very fast.
In fact, this has something to do with the weight of the turret. In the early douding small tanks, the turret was not too heavy in total. It was enough to rely on hand cranking. However, when the turret was more than ten tons, it was very slow by hand cranking, and the gunner consumed Too much physical strength is not suitable for combat. At this time, other methods are needed.
The West generally prefers electric, while Germany prefers hydraulic.
Historically, even with hydraulically driven turrets, the Tiger’s turret’s rotation speed is still not fast, it takes one minute a week, and it’s still 45 seconds to improve to the Tiger King. In contrast, the fastest Sherman is said to only take ten seconds.
Because the turret rotates slowly, the German tank soldiers have to create other tactics, such as center rotation. While the turret rotates, the car body also rotates, so that the muzzle can be pointed to the target faster.
This is the historical situation, and now, the German equipment is different from the historical one.
For example, when the Panther tank was developed for more than ten years, the German tank turret began to use hydraulic drive. After more than ten years, the hydraulic drive of the turret has been used by German tank designers. The power of the hydraulic drive system of the turret has been increased on the turret, and it only takes 25 seconds to rotate the turret once.
At the same time, turning the turret by hand is also the operation method to be retained. After all, the hydraulic drive only rotates the turret to a rough position, and fine adjustment still needs to be driven by hand.
The commander of the gun and the commander of the car have cranks around them, and in extreme cases, if the two shake them together, it will be faster.
For example, now, while driving hydraulically, the two of them are shaking the crank together by hand. With the driving of the two, the turret rotates at the fastest speed, and it can make a full circle in 20 seconds. Now, it only needs half a circle. Ten seconds.
When they turned around, the Soviet tank and turret had just begun to turn.
Just the opportunity!
The armor-piercing projectile was loaded long ago. At this moment, Modlin shouted loudly: "Fire!"
The four tanks on the side of the formation all fired at this Stalin tank, while the tank on the other side of the formation aimed at another Stalin tank nearby. The rounded skull, waiting to bear the anger from the German armored soldiers!
"Boom!" With a roar of the muzzle, the tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile, throw away the back of the cartridge, and continue to fly forward!
At this time, the distance between the two sides was only 200 meters, and there was almost no need to wait, and the armor-piercing projectile accurately hit the back of the opponent's turret.
There is no breakdown on the front, is it still not possible at the back?
The thickness of the armor at the back must be much less than that at the front! This opportunity is fleeting, because the opponent is also turning the turret!
With the hope of the German armored soldiers, the armor-piercing projectile had close contact with the turret. Then, it only left a shallow pit on the turret and was bounced again!
One, two, three, four, these four armor-piercing bullets all hit, but all were shot.
At this moment, Modlin's mind did not collapse. He was thinking quickly, and then he continued to give orders: "Blunt armor-piercing bullets, reload! Quick!"
Your own armor-piercing projectile can’t penetrate the opponent’s turret. It’s definitely not because the penetration of the armor-piercing projectile is not enough. If there is a problem, maybe it is the shelling armor-piercing projectile, so try using your own ordinary armor-piercing projectile!
"Understood~EbookFREE.me~ blunt-headed armor-piercing projectile, load it!" the loader shouted loudly, took out a new projectile from the back of the turret, and stuffed it in.
Well-trained, and German tanks have ample internal space, so tankers don’t have to deliberately choose small men. The loader is one of the strong men. In normal training, he raises a hundred shells without breathing. .
On both arms, blue veins burst, and a blunt-headed armor-piercing bullet was stuffed in, and the gun door was closed. The whole process took less than ten seconds.
A small man of 1.5 meters and a big man of 1.8 meters?
Blunt-headed armor-piercing bullet, shoot!
"Boom!" In less than fifteen seconds, the Tiger tank opened fire again.
At this time, the turret of the target Stalin tank had already turned ninety degrees. The side of their turret faced the muzzle of the German tank.
In an instant, the blunt-headed armor-piercing projectile screamed fiercely and hit the side of the turret of the Stalin tank.
The outside of this turret, viewed from four directions, has almost the same smooth shape of avoidance. After the blunt-headed armor-piercing projectile hits the side, the angle was originally very large, but it was not shot off, but turned instantly. An angle is perpendicular to the side of the turret.
Relying on the huge kinetic energy, it began to drill vigorously inward.
Inclined armor does not need to be particularly thick. As long as the angle is appropriate, the opponent is an inclined surface during armor penetration, which can greatly increase the penetration distance of the armor-piercing projectile, that is, increase the effective thickness.
But now, the blunt-headed armor-piercing projectile has turned right, that is, it is shot vertically. The side armor of the turret, the vertical thickness, does not exceed fifty millimeters.
The armor-piercing projectile fired by the 88mm gun has a penetration depth of hundreds of millimeters, and the projectile pierced in with almost no effort.
"boom!"
