Although they were full of confidence, they still made various preparations. Since they were competing, they had to completely defeat each other during the competition.
Therefore, they simply compared the long-range armor-piercing ability, because they knew that, inheriting the Soviet system, the various equipment of the Eastern powers were all in the style of five major and three thick, and did not have the ability to accurately attack at long distances.
Although the Soviet series of tanks are also marked with a lethality capability of two thousand meters, in fact, in real actual combat, the battles of Soviet tanks are basically completed within one thousand meters. This kind of tank comes from the T-54 tank
The improved model, how much better can its performance be?
Therefore, at a distance of 2,500 meters, needless to say how deep the armor is penetrated, it might not even be able to hit the target!
In this way, you can make the other party completely embarrassed.
And this is precisely their own strength. They rely on their advanced industrial base to achieve very high accuracy of tank guns. The L11 tank gun has high enough accuracy at a distance of three thousand meters, while the L7 tank gun has high enough accuracy.
, at a distance of 2,500 meters, the accuracy and lethality are still good.
The farther the range, the longer the cannonball moves in the air. At this time, there will be a very important indicator called the cannonball storage speed, or it can be understood as the impact of air resistance on the cannonball during this flight time.
How much will the consumption be?
If the cannonball is thicker and the air resistance is large, it will leave the muzzle at a speed of 1,400 meters per second, fly a thousand meters, and hit the target, but it may still have a speed of 1,300 meters per second. However, by two
At a distance of one thousand meters, the speed may only be one thousand meters per second. At this time, the armor-piercing ability will drop significantly.
Let’s compare the armor-piercing capabilities at a distance of 2,500 meters!
On the one hand, your tank gun is not accurate enough and may not be able to fire at all. On the other hand, your tank gun's shell storage speed indicator is too poor. After passing it, the power drops rapidly! In short, I only propose this indicator.
It can cause a lot of trouble to the other party and completely suppress them.
Fight against each other in the areas you are good at!
After talking about the standards of this competition, Robert glanced at Qin Zhenhua, hoping to see a trace of panic in the opponent's eyes. Even if the opponent said that his armor-piercing ability was not inferior, at a distance of 2,500 meters,
Is there still an advantage?
However, he was disappointed, there was nothing in Qin Zhenhua's eyes.
"So, are we settled like this?" Robert asked the others, especially Commander Huang who was accompanying him. He was the top commander of the tank unit. It is very likely that the young man in front of him knew nothing.
They will brag, so it’s better to wait for the other party’s leader to agree.
Commander Huang nodded: "It is a trend to attack the enemy from a long distance. We very much agree with this suggestion."
The Soviet Union is already outdated. Several wars in the Middle East have confirmed this. Before they could rush over, they were wiped out by the opponent from a long distance. They hit them far and hard. This is the future trend.
"Start! Prepare us a 300 mm thick homogeneous steel target." Robert shouted.
This tank was modified by them, and it also had disturbance-type aiming equipment installed on it. Only they themselves could skillfully operate these.
Therefore, the person responsible for the operation could only be the British. Joyce personally climbed onto the tank that had stopped at the test firing position. Then, a British man behind carried an armor-piercing projectile and handed it over.
Go in.
Robert had a calm smile on his face. This tank gun was a standard NATO tank gun. At the same time, the shells it carried were also NATO standard tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles. He believed that the performance of this armor-piercing projectile was enough to make the people in front of him
These people were shocked.
Even at a distance of 2,500 meters, the armor-piercing ability of this armor-piercing projectile can exceed 300 millimeters! Prepare a 300-millimeter target and it can pass through it properly.
What about the T-54? Even if this kind of tank gun can hit a distance of 2,500 meters, its armor-piercing capability is just over 100 millimeters. As for their own smoothbore gun, they boast it is very powerful. In fact,
It's an improved version of the T-54 barrel, but there's no rifling inside. That's it. You still want to compare with your own side?
Let you see the power of British tank guns!
Joyce loaded the ammunition steadily and took aim. Now, the tank is fixed and he only fires one shot, so there is no need for a loader or a commander. He can complete all operations by himself, as a radio
After hearing the sound of preparation from the other side, he took aim easily and pressed the switch. Then, the tank gun roared violently.
"Boom!" A ball of fire emerged from the muzzle, and two bullet holders fell apart about one meter away from the muzzle. The warhead was already spinning and flying towards the target in the distance. The black color at the muzzle
Smoke rose upwards, but inside the turret, the air was still fresh.
"This cannon is pretty good," Qin Zhenhua said with a sigh.
Robert was certainly very proud to hear the other party praising his cannon. However, he felt something was wrong later. The other party should have praised him after hearing the sound of the target announcement over there, right? Looking at Qin Zhenhua's eyes again, he found that he
He was boasting about the tank turret here.
Only then did I realize that the other party was praising the efficiency of the tank gun's smoking device, right? The thinking of these Easterners is really weird. Shouldn't they pay attention to the armor-piercing ability? Don't they care the least about the combat environment of the soldiers?
"The target has been hit. The target has been penetrated." The target reporter's voice came over the radio.
Robert had a proud smile on his face, and just as expected, he accurately hit and penetrated! Look, do you have this kind of technology? Your tank cannon is just a useless fire stick, right?
"Okay, it's our turn." Qin Zhenhua said: "The distance is two thousand five hundred and the target thickness is three hundred and fifty millimeters!"
What? A distance of 2,500 meters, preparing to penetrate a target 350 mm thick? This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!
Their most advanced artillery shells are the ones used on that captured T-62 tank, right? Those backward armor-piercing shells were already at the end of the 1960s. If the caliber is reduced to 100 millimeters, the power will be further reduced.
Small, so what comes to Robert's mind right now is, firstly, it's impossible, and secondly, it's still impossible!
In his surprise, he looked at another tank next to a tanker holding a shell and preparing to send it to the turret. When he saw the shell, he shouted: "Wait a minute."
