.

Our commander determines a new tactic. If the Chinese army sends us, we will send 8 Sherman tanks to fight it, and we think that losing seven of them will eliminate the tiger."

"Optimism" in the British in 1916

"Our new Stalin tank seems to be better than the German Tiger tank. If the Germans dispatched the Tiger tank, I cannot send my T-34 grams into the battlefield anyway, unless there are at least two Stalin tanks..." A commander officer of the Russian Guards in 1944 was later shot dead because of cowardice!

"I led my Sherman tank formation toward a tiger hidden near Beauville. The tiger tanks destroyed seven tanks in our company before retreating. We kept firing the tiger's frontal armor with armor-piercing and anti-tank high-explosion bombs at a distance of less than 100. But no shell could penetrate its thick armor..."

Report of the British Cromwell Tank Unit in 1916

"Our scouts reported a team of German tanks, including a Tiger tank, and the No. 24 tank was heading northwest. Our commander decided to back down to discuss ways to deal with the tiger. He agreed that the Air Force should be called for support against this threat, which was better than risking the loss of our own tanks to face the enemy..."

1916

"At a distance of 600 we saw the das|4 all rebound, and the tiger then turned its front towards us. After losing 6 Sherman tanks we started to retreat, and a firefly tank hit the left side of a tiger tank directly. Before we retreated, I saw the German tiger tank crew escape from the broken tank and climb onto friendly vehicles. The tanks destroyed by our army were flaming flames soaring into the sky without survivors.

Report on the 1916 Normandy Canadian M4G car crew

"We fought with the 3 Tiger tanks that were advancing to the right wing of our army. We fired 12 armor-piercing bombs at the side armor of the Tiger tank at a distance of 600, causing no impact on the enemy tanks except to make the surface of the armor fall off. Before the Tiger tank exited the battle, we lost 4 Sherman tanks and many semi-track vehicles. I identified one of the tigers as liebestandarte armored division, and the number was 331..."

Report of the British Sherman tank crew at the end of 1916

"We saw a team of enemy armored troops including 2 Tiger tanks, a Black Panther and a No. 4 tank. We called for support from friendly armored forces, and about 20 Firefly tanks arrived. Before the two Tiger tanks wiped them out one by one, they destroyed the Black Panther and a No. 4. Within a few minutes we lost 6 Fireflies, and the two Tigers evacuated the battlefield after the results were achieved. We provided fire support with heavy machine guns, mortars and anti-tank guns, all of which were ineffective against Tiger tanks..."

1916 Normandy British Infantry Commander's Report

"I've got the armor bomb hit their right side. But the shells were all bounced..."

Report of the British Sherman Tank Commander in 1916

There are many similar reports to the above. Of course, Tiger tanks are not invincible, and there are also reports of Allied destroying Tiger tanks. However, this type of Tiger only accounts for a small proportion of the losses in combat. Most of the lost tigers are directly destroyed by air strikes rather than the armored forces of the Allied forces on the ground.

Zhan Tianyoudi's explanation seemed more like a defense in Zhao Gang's opinion. In Zhao Gang's opinion, the Tiger tanks were equipped with the Chinese army, which was the turning point in the decline of the Nazi Chinese tank war. After the Chinese army equipped with the Tiger tanks, they did not win a decisive major battle. Moreover, the complex production process of Tiger tanks and the quality and technical requirements for continuous excellence were consumed in vain.

You should know that even Germany's so powerful precision industry is complaining about Tiger. China has a huge number of industries with a slightly poor finishing capability. It is undoubtedly a misunderstanding of the equipment that is crazy and morbid equipment, with a cumulative number of less than 2,000 vehicles, almost without any impact on the course of the war. Equipment! New tanks must be designed immediately.

"But as far as I know, there are still many problems with the Tiger. One is the maintenance problem. I heard that all tank players must be proficient in repairing the Tiger. Otherwise, they cannot become tank players. Is this the real situation?

"The maintenance of the Tiger tank of His Majesty the Emperor is not as thought before

The Tiger 1 tanks produced now have stable battlefield performance and low failure rate. The Black Panther and Tiger King tanks of the Chinese army are also stronger than the Russian T34

The Russians produced a large number of problems were covered up by the rapid advancement of the battlefield. In addition, the battlefield maintenance capabilities of our army were first-class in World War II, but the battlefield situation of the Chinese army, which was retreating step by step, led to the inability to recover many faulty Tiger 1 tanks.

Zhan Tianyou paused and began to explain

"The 56-ton Tiger tank uses alloy steel armor, which is World War II quality steel. Tiger's armor production adopts cold-rolled forging technology rather than casting. Compared with cast steel, the strength characteristics of cold-rolled forging steel are much higher! The density is about 6%. Although the manufacturer of Tiger tanks suggested to the army in 2016 that in order to save working hours and speed up tank production, it must be changed to cast steel technology. After careful consideration, the Army rejected this suggestion on the grounds that it must ensure the quality of the armor.

The Russian T-14-15 arc armor-piercing bomb can penetrate the tiger with a front armor of 110 mm at a distance of 1000 meters at a distance of 1000 meters. However, the Russians used the Tiger King to attack their tanks and found that the armor had a vertical armor-piercing force at the same thickness than Russia. The Chinese tank manual records that the average vertical armor-piercing thickness of the "Tiger King" at a distance of 1000 meters is 175 meters. However, the Russians used the "Tiger King" to attack their tanks and found that the vertical armor-piercing can be achieved at a distance of 1000 meters.

Russia's t-34-85 uses the "Russian armor" to penetrate 120 meters and replaces it with "Chinese armor", so t-34-85-34-85 does not wear tigers 1. This judgment is that t-34-85 can destroy tigers at a distance of 700 meters.

The reason why Russian armor was not worthy of its name was the sudden outbreak of the war and the rapid advancement of the Chinese army forced Russia to start relying on quantity rather than quality. Russian tanks using chrome alloy steel have significantly reduced the quality of protection. In addition, the urgent production plan has led to a large number of streamlining processes, defects in casting technology of armored steel, and residual bubbles have caused the armor to become brittle.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Gang raised his head and looked at the partner who made his fortune with him.

"The Russians are using their blood and life to attack us. Although we have lost a lot, the main force has not suffered any losses. Compared with the Russian tanks, we have better weapons to restrain him."

"What weapon?"

"The cone cannon also has hollow rechargeable bullets

The principle of a cone-bore gun is very simple, but it is very complicated to manufacture. It can only be finally realized after long-term careful research and repeated trials. In essence, it is a cone-shaped smooth-bore short gun barrel rotating at the mouth of an ordinary gun. Its function is very similar to the function of the German Gresch cone-bore gun. The projectile it fires is a special projectile, and the core of this projectile is a slender tungsten carbide cylinder, with the inner part surrounding the "elastic belt" or "elastic skirt" made of soft metal. The projectile moves forward along the body tube in the usual way, and the belt seals the gunpowder gas and is tightly embedded in the rifle. Therefore, when the projectile reaches the mouth of the original tube, it will have

The initial velocity and rotation speed are like ordinary projectiles, and the projectile enters the subsequently added conical barrel. This additional conical barrel is sometimes called "Little John". The projectile continues to move forward, and its metal belt continues to compress under the gradually shrinking barrel. When the projectile flies out of "Little John", the belt has become a thin shell, and most of its mass has been smoothed and gathered into a ball, attached to the back of the tungsten carbide core. The speed of the projectile when it leaves "Little John" is much higher than the speed when it leaves the original muzzle. Due to the high initial velocity and the large mass of tungsten carbide, this projectile has a strong penetration ability and can form a relatively low-extended ballistic.

Hollow charge bullets can concentrate all explosive energy in one direction, producing a high-temperature, high-speed, and high-density airflow with great invasion. The armor-breaking effect is amazing. A hole is made in an armor plate equipped with 0.228.4mm."

"With these two weapons, we can now produce small artillery sharp enough to resist Russian attacks."
