Belokov knew very well that the turret must be rotated first when loading shells and rotating turret. Only in this way can the strongest main armor in front of the turret face the most dangerous place.

It's not too late to load shells after turning around. If he doesn't turn around first, he may never have a chance to load shells and fire.

However, he did not expect that the accident happened again.

When the pain came from his feet again, he waved his fist and hit the bridge of the loader's nose: "kodia, when the battle is over, you get back to Central Asia!"

Anyway, it's crushing. I don't mind doing it again. I'm afraid this foot is useless after I go back.

With such a delay, the rotation of his tank turret slowed down.

At this time, the bell formation of German tanks passing by him, the turret is turning neatly and uniformly, which is quite pleasant to see from the sky.

The tanks on both sides turned the turrets on both sides in every direction. The tanks were still moving forward at high speed, and the turrets were already moving backward.

Hit the back of the head!

In the era of World War II, because there was no advanced fire control system, the tank could not shoot while moving. However, later, it became impossible to turn the turret while moving.

What's the use of tanks if they can't turn the turret on the move?

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 tank, the turret was not heavy in total, and it was OK to rely on hand shaking. However, when the turret was more than ten tons, it was very slow to rely on hand shaking, and the gunner consumed too much physical strength, which was not suitable for combat. At this time, it needed to rely on other methods.

The West generally likes electric, while Germany likes hydraulic.

In history, even if the hydraulic turret is used, the rotation speed of the tiger turret is still not fast. It takes one minute a week. When it is improved to the tiger king, it is still 45 seconds. In contrast, Sherman, who turns fastest, is said to take only ten seconds.

Because the turret rotates slowly, the German tank soldiers have to create other tactics, such as center rotation. When the turret rotates, the body also rotates, so that the muzzle can point to the target faster.

This is the situation in history, and now, the equipment of Germany is different from that in history.

For example, when the Panther tank was developed for more than ten years, the German tank turret began to adopt the way of hydraulic drive. After more than ten years, the German tank designers have long been familiar with the hydraulic drive of the turret. On the Tiger tank, the power of the hydraulic drive system of the turret has been increased, and it takes only 25 seconds for the turret to rotate for one week.

At the same time, the manual rotation of the turret is also the operation mode to be retained. After all, the hydraulic drive only rotates the turret to the approximate orientation. Fine mediation still needs to be driven by manual rotation.

The artillery commander and the vehicle commander have rocking handles around them. In extreme cases, if they shake together, it will be faster.

For example, at the same time of hydraulic drive, the two people are still shaking the handle together. With the drive of the two people, the turret rotates at the fastest speed. It can rotate for one week in 20 seconds, but now it only takes more than ten seconds to rotate for half a week.

When they turned around, the Soviet tanks and turrets had just begun to turn.

It's an opportunity!

Armour piercing bullets had already been loaded. At this moment, modlin shouted, "fire!"

All the four tanks on this side of the formation opened fire on this Stalin tank, while the tanks on the other side of the formation aimed at another Stalin tank nearby, the round skull, waiting to bear the anger from the German armored forces!

"Boom!" With a roar from the muzzle, the tungsten alloy armor piercing projectile threw away the rear sabot and continued to fly forward!

At this time, the distance between the two sides was only 200 meters. There was almost no need to wait. The armor piercing bullet hit the back of the other party's turret accurately.

There is no breakdown on the front, can't it be behind?

The armor thickness at the back must be much less than that at the front! This opportunity is fleeting, because the other party is also turning the turret!

With the hope of the German armored forces, the armor piercing bullet had a close contact with the turret. Then, it left only a shallow pit on the turret and was bounced away again!

One, two, three, four, all the four armor piercing bullets hit, but all of them were shot away.

At this moment, modlin's mind did not collapse. He was thinking quickly. Then he continued to give the order: "blunt head armor piercing bullet, load! Come on! "

Your armor piercing bullet can't penetrate the other party's turret. It's definitely not because the armor piercing bullet can't penetrate deeply enough. If you can't penetrate the front, others say that you can't penetrate the side now. There must be a problem. If you don't do well, it's on the shelled armor piercing bullet. Therefore, try using your ordinary armor piercing bullet!

"Understand, blunt headed armor piercing bullet, load!" The loader shouted, took out new shells from behind the turret and stuffed them in.

Well trained. Moreover, the internal space of German tanks is sufficient, so the tankers don't have to deliberately choose small men. The loader is one of the Hercules. In normal training, he lifts 100 shells without breathing.

On both arms, the veins burst, and a blunt armor piercing bullet was stuffed in and closed the gun door. The whole process took less than ten seconds.

A small man of 1.5 meters and a big man of 1.8 meters?

Blunt armour piercing bullet, shoot!

"Boom!" In less than fifteen seconds, the Tiger Tank fired again.

At this time, the target Stalin tank and turret had turned 90 degrees. The side of their turret was facing the muzzle of the German tank.

In an instant, the blunt armour piercing bullet with a fierce roar hit the side of the turret of Stalin's tank.

The outside of the turret, viewed from four directions, is almost the same smooth bullet avoidance shape. After the blunt armor piercing bullet hit the side, the angle was also very large, but it was not bounced off, but turned an angle in an instant, perpendicular to the side of the turret.

With great kinetic energy, it began to drill hard into it.

Inclined armor does not need to be particularly thick. As long as the angle is appropriate and the other party is an inclined plane in the process of armor piercing, the armor piercing distance of armor piercing projectile can be greatly increased, that is, the effective thickness can be increased.

Now, the blunt armour piercing projectile has turned to the right, that is, the vertical penetration, the side armor of the turret, the vertical thickness, no more than 50 mm.

The armor piercing projectile fired by the 88 mm gun has a penetration depth of hundreds of mm, and the shell drilled in with little effort.

"Boom!"
