Chapter 503: Test Shot Ranging
In the Camblay area, a battle between armored forces kicked off.
It can be said that the two sides met on a narrow road.
The British army's attack was very fast, and their tactics were still very backward. In the front of the advance, they didn't know how to deploy scouts and conduct reconnaissance in advance. This was simply a reckless march.
In this regard, Germany was because they were not attacking at all. Their tank company was just accepting unwilling escort missions. In this way, they did not send scouts.
When they found out that they had no choice but to collide in like this.
From a quantity perspective, a German tank company against an opponent's tank brigade is not like a battle that is evenly matched. However, in combat, you cannot simply compare quantity, but quality must be compared!
The diesel engine behind was rumbling, and Meyer looked at the sight with hope in his Black Panther 3 tank. Now, the biggest problem is that the distance measurement is not accurate.
How to measure distance is one of the most common technical problems for German tankers. In their sights, they can convert them based on the magnification and the length and width of the target, and then they can be clear.
But now, they don’t know the model of the other party’s tank or how wide the other party’s tank is. So now, Meyer can only calculate it by evaluating it, turn the steering wheel on the sight, and estimate the width of the other party, and first follow 4 meters.
In this case, the distance should be one thousand meters, and it's time to shoot, try it.
"Be careful, prepare for a test shot." Mayer shouted.
Hearing his words, the driver in front immediately stepped on the brakes. The huge Black Panther tank stopped suddenly, and then the 88mm tank gun made a loud noise.
"Boom!" The smoker in the turret was buzzing, and there was still a smell of gunpowder rushing through the entire turret. Meyer didn't bother to choke and stared at the other party's tank.
If you don’t hit it, before bounce it, this means that the distance you estimated is wrong.
How wide is the other party?
OK, try it according to 6 meters.
Meyer gritted his teeth and continued to issue orders to his gunman. At this distance, there is no need to worry about the opponent's counterattack. After all, looking at the small tank gun carried on the opponent's turret, you will know that it is definitely not the same as yours, and the opponent will not tear away his armor.
"Boom!" The second shot fired again. Mayer gritted his teeth and looked at his shell and shot it away again. It was not right!
Continue to expand, estimate based on 8 meters!
At this time, the other party was still moving forward. If it was estimated at 8 meters, the current distance would be only one thousand meters.
"Note, one thousand meters away from the left, turn off a secret position, and open fire!" Mayer shouted loudly.
"The German tank soldiers are all bluffing, don't be afraid!" Sitting on his turret, even though he was about to fight, George still exposed half of his body.
He looked at the opponent's armored soldiers and opened fire from a distance of 1,300 meters. He even fired two guns, but failed to hit his own side, especially the first shell, which was hundreds of meters away from his own queue!
The rumors were all scared by the Germans, saying that the Germans could shoot accurately just one thousand meters away was purely nonsense.
In fact, the Germans are not that powerful at all.
I know now, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Roar up, we fire again at a distance of five hundred meters." George shouted loudly.
What's the use of the opponent's tank gun is tall and powerful? It must be taken into account the accuracy, so a distance of 500 meters is a must. If it exceeds this distance, it will be a waste of shells!
In particular, the main gun of their tank was a 2-pound tank gun, which was the most successful anti-tank gun since 36, and then improved to a tank and became a tank gun.
If we look at firepower, it will definitely be out of date. Now, the 6-pound cannon is developing rapidly in the rear, but unfortunately it has not been finalized, so they can only carry such small cannons for the time being.
If you want to penetrate the German tank, you can only go forward and get a chance if you get close.
Moreover, from here, we can see that the German tanks only have a few Black Panther tanks, and the rest are all unseen goods. They don’t look so powerful and should be easier to deal with. As long as you knock down the previous Black Panther tanks, the tanks behind them are our appetizers.
Fast, speed up!
Now, George has completely adapted to the atmosphere of the battlefield.
"Boom!" At this moment, the other party opened fire for the third time!
This time, the 88mm shell flew accurately towards the tank in front!
I still didn't aim, but this time I tested too much, and the opponent accelerated, so the actual bounce point should be behind the tank.
If it goes well, this Covenant tank can dodge intact, and the shells will fly over it against its top, but now, on its turret, people stand!
"Bang!" It was as if a balloon was blown up. The body of the tank was hit by an 88mm tank shell at a speed of more than 800 meters per second!
If you can replay the slow motion, you can see that the first thing is the wind hood at the tip of the warhead hit the head of the car's chest. The hood is slightly deformed, but the head's body is centered on this impact point and is radiating outward. What is flying out? Of course, it is flesh and blood!
This point is first crushed, and then the other parts are crushed under pulling, turning into pieces of minced meat, flying in all directions, a small amount of minced meat is touched on the warhead, and after the warhead flies, there is a space of flesh and blood forming, just like a car tire passing by, splashing water.
It's so domineering!
Time is actually measured in milliseconds, so that the other tank hands have not yet reacted. Their vehicle captain, the upper half of their body, has lost its vitality, and the lower half of their body has fallen into the turret, and blood is gushing out.
"Ah..." The loader was a twenty-year-old young man. At this time, he suddenly shouted loudly. It was so terrible!
"It's knocked away again." Mayer felt depressed, but this time it was a little short, which means that the width of the opponent's tank was almost the same as 8 meters, about 78 meters!
"Note that the opponent's tank is 78 meters wide." Mayer shouted in the radio, the test shot was completed, confirming the opponent's width!
It's a battle now, and you don't need to know the width of the side, just know the width of the front. Below, use precise artillery fire to welcome the British!
Chapter completed!
