At first, the old electronic tube radio was used in Germany. It consumed a lot of power, was large in size and complicated in operation. Frequency switching was required for each level of communication, so a special radio operator was needed. The five person tank squad in Germany was the most fully equipped.

Now, with the progress of electronic technology in Germany, the volume of transistor radio stations has been greatly reduced and the operation is simple. Although there are still radio operators, the main task of radio operators is to operate machine guns.

At the same time, the conductor does not need a radio operator to communicate with the superior. The conductor can call the superior directly in the radio.

The sub caliber armor piercing projectile is a special armor piercing projectile with the latest technology, which is proposed by chirek and gradually turned into reality by German technicians. Its most appropriate name should be called the tail stable shelling armor piercing projectile. However, this statement is too tongue twisty. It is also the most convenient to call it the shelling armor piercing projectile.

This kind of armor piercing bullet is specially used for the most terrible targets. Ordinary armor piercing bullets are more than enough to deal with goods such as T-34.

"Sub caliber armor piercing bullet, load!" Cried Bowman.

The loader bent down, skillfully stuffed a red armor piercing bullet into the tank gun, closed the gun door and shouted, "loading is over!"

"Right ahead, a kv-2, 1500 meters away, ready!" Carl Bowman continued.

Next to him, the gunner steadily stepped on the pedal, the heavy turret began to rotate, and finally put the other party firmly in the center of his optical sight.

"The distance is 1300 meters."

In this era, there is no such advanced thing as laser rangefinder. The judgment of target distance is completely calculated according to the most basic optical law and through the scale in the optical lens of the sight.

Bowman is a young man, his brain is extremely flexible, and his hard calculation is so easy.

Hensley, the driver in front, is concentrating on driving his tank. In this kind of battle, it is very important to quickly meet the enemy, and it is more important to stop at any time.

"1100 meters, stop and fire!" Bowman shouted.

After getting the order to stop, Hensley stepped on the brake, and the harsh metal sound of brake friction came from the tail. The heavy Tiger Tank stopped abruptly.

The sudden inertia made the tank barrel move down a little. Then, at the moment of restoring stability, the gunner's foot stepped on the launcher.

"Boom!"

The whole tank trembled with the loud gunfire.

The propellant was burning violently. In less than a second, it pushed the shell to the initial speed of 1100 meters per second!

The speed that the shell can reach is related to the weight of the warhead. When the kinetic energy is the same, the smaller the mass, the higher the speed.

Tungsten alloy warhead flies out of the muzzle. When it comes out of the bore, it falls from its tail and two halves of the sabot.

This small sabot is the most critical device in the whole sub caliber armor piercing projectile. Reducing the diameter of the warhead and increasing the aspect ratio is the most effective way to increase the penetration depth.

The tail of the armor piercing bullet extends its dexterous wings and flies opposite.

Such a distance is only one second.

Inside the kv-2 tank, battalion commander kurilenko looked at the German tanks running across from him. He was a little nervous.

Those tanks are the latest tanks used by Germany in the last Brest conflict. They are said to be more advanced than Panther 3 tanks. Can their 152 mm tank guns effectively pose a threat to them?

"Load the grenade." He shouted to his loader.

The 152 mm gun of kv-2 tank was originally emergency. It was the Navy's shortened M-10 howitzer.

This kind of gun has only one kind of ammunition, that is, 52kg high explosive ammunition. Although the Navy's 1915 / 28 semi armor piercing projectile kv-2 can also be fired, this kind of projectile is generally only used by the Soviet Navy, and the inventory is very small. Due to the huge shells, kv-2 tank only carries 36 shells.

This is a pit father. Deal with the enemy's armor and use grenades?

The answer is completely feasible. The grenade mainly depends on the explosives in the warhead. As long as the amount of explosives is enough, any armor can be exploded. Explosive explosion of armor is also a way.

After receiving the order, the loader began to move the shells, first insert the warhead, and then insert the propellant. Of course, this 52kg shell was sub loaded, otherwise, how could the loader carry all such shells?

This slow movement took about 30 seconds, which is the fastest speed.

At this time, the distance between the two sides is approaching rapidly, and we can clearly see each other's tanks. In the sight, we can even see the bolts fixing additional armor on each other's tanks.

The distance of exchange of fire will soon be close to 1000 meters. When dealing with armored targets, their best distance is no more than 500 meters. If they are 1000 meters away, they will definitely fly.

However, kurilenko was surprised to see that the most leading tank opposite stopped instantly. Within two seconds of stopping, a black smoke came out of the muzzle and the other party fired!

Germany's most elite tank force is said to be able to start and hit 1000 meters away. Originally, kurilenko thought it was a legend. Unexpectedly, the Germans actually did so.

"Brake!" Kurilenko shouted loudly. With his cry, he felt his body began to rush forward involuntarily and hit the armor in front. Although he was wearing a thick tank cap, he still felt pain.

When the opponent shoots, he can get rid of it through various maneuvers. After all, the tank is not as flexible as the aircraft, and the braking is the best choice when the power is limited.

If it is a low-profile T-34 tank, this move may really work. Unfortunately, they drive a toilet head kv-2 tank!

The main purpose of braking is to make the other party's shells hit the open space in front of his own side. After all, the other party should arrange the advance according to the speed of both sides. However, because the head of kv-2 is too big, the other party aims at its big head. Now he brakes suddenly, which only makes the other party's trajectory deviate a little.

It should have hit the middle of the toilet head and the position of the gun shield. Now, this armor piercing bullet hit the lowest part of the toilet head!

This is a flat piece with a full thickness of 110mm. Now the armor piercing bullet comes with an angle. It has to pass through 120mm thick.

For a tungsten alloy warhead with a thin rod, such a thickness is an ox knife for killing chickens.
