Chapter 892 The Tiger Roars at Dawn (4)

"Well done! Iushkin, first!"

The huge and heavy body of steel sprayed out the flames of death and charred black smoke. The first Tiger tank was killed, announcing that the turning point of this cruel battle had finally arrived. He had always mistaken his opponent for the original one. The German armored soldiers of that batch of KV1 heavy tanks finally woke up from a dream.

"Damn it! That's not KV1, it looks similar but not! That's the Russian's new car!"

"Five hundred meters! The Russian tractors can penetrate our frontal armor at a distance of five hundred meters. The drivers of each vehicle crew adjust their directions! Immediately!"

The tigers lying on the snow slope to face the enemy are only in the most basic defensive state. The shooting posture from a high and low angle does bring a certain equivalent defense bonus to these tigers. But for the German armored soldiers at this moment, their real special skills are just now revealed.

Following the order from the commander of the tiger group, the remaining eight tiger tanks all moved at the wind and began to shift their heavy tiger bodies.

The Malite double differential steering system, which is famous for being one of the special skills of tigers, is in full operation. The heavy tiger body, weighing 57 tons, throws the car body straight towards the car with incredible flexibility. aside.

The in-situ steering method of one track turning forward and one track turning reverse gives the seemingly clumsy Tiger an extremely excellent turning ability that surpasses all heavy tanks of the same era. The front armor of the body with a physical thickness of 102 mm can be driven by a group of elites. With the precise operation of the crew members, they quickly aimed at the incoming enemy at a seemingly weird angle.

"What are those Germans doing? Do they want to expose their bellies and beat us?"

Iushkin, who saw this kind of combat method for the first time, was confused and confused, but this did not mean that Malashenko, who was filled with all the decryption of Tiger tanks in later generations, was so familiar with this scene. Can't see why.

"An excellent Tiger tank driver will accurately grasp the battlefield situation, use the thick armor of the tank to put the correct angle and correct posture to meet the enemy, and then be invincible, invincible and unstoppable in the battle."

With this sentence, one of the most classic comments about the Tiger tank, echoing in his mind, Malashenko gritted his teeth.

These Tiger tanks, which look like square shoeboxes and are covered with vertical armor, are almost rotten. But in the hands of skilled drivers, they can make accurate judgments based on real-time changes in the battlefield situation and perform sharp operations. Then let the twisted car body always face the incoming enemy at an angle.

If you take into account the unfavorable terrain of fighting low and high, Malashenko estimates that the armor on the front of these Tigers with the body angle is at least more than 140 mm equivalent thickness, and also has a large Angle protection for probabilistic ricochet.

The half-skewed side armor of the car seems to be the Tiger's weakness in this state, but the crazy Germans even piled up the Tiger's side armor to a physical thickness of 82 mm, including the deliberate manufacturing. If the vehicle body meets the enemy at an angle, it must face at least an incident angle of about 70 degrees when fired with one shot.

Unless Malashenko has the ability to move the long-rod tail-stabilized sabot armor-piercing projectile from the future world, the 81-degree absolute ricochet angle of that thing can cope with enemy armor at a 70-degree incident angle, but this purely **That's nonsense. Just thinking about it makes me feel like I've been kicked by a donkey!

"All crews, aim at those German turrets! Don't shoot at the hull! It's useless! I repeat, aim at the turret and fire, don't hit the hull!"

Malashenko put down the radio transmitter in his hand with a very complicated look in his eyes.

If possible, Malashenko would not want to issue an order to shoot at the Tiger turret at all. The 11-ton Tiger head of the entire turret has a physical armor thickness that is far more abnormal than the body of the vehicle.

Not to mention the 135 mm thick gun mantlet armor, even the physical thickness of the armor on the left and right sides of Tiger's square and square face is extremely irregular.

The 120 mm thick armor near the gun mantlet is just an appetizer. It is used to carry the armor at the beam support of the homogeneous steel armor block on the entire turret front, and its thickness is an astonishing 200 mm.

Although the front projection area exposed by these two sections of support beam armor is not much, according to the size of the tiger, Malashenko estimates that at most the left and right areas are the size of an ordinary person's head.

But in such a tense and complex battlefield situation, no one knew where a shot would hit the tiger's head. The derivative result of the uneven thickness of the turret's frontal armor may be that it is useless to fire one shot just to hear the sound, but at this point, when the situation is forced to a dead end, there is no more effective way.

No matter how the Tiger's body is angled, the turret will always point frontally at the enemy and fire at the enemy. In other words, the relative angle of the Tiger's turret will always be the best angle of incidence for one's own side. No matter how difficult it is to deal with the Tiger's turret frontal armor, it is at least vertical armor. As long as it penetrates deep enough, it will be able to penetrate the armor without causing ricochet.

Following Malashenko's vehicle, the IS1 heavy tanks that rushed into the firing range began to turn their turrets, and their black spiral rifled muzzles were pointed directly at their respective targets, firing brightly. Amidst the roaring fire and flames, one after another 85mm full-caliber hooded armor-piercing bullets were seen rushing towards the target that was very close at hand.

Ding-ding——

when--

call out--

The loud sound caused by the impact of armor-piercing projectiles on the solid frontal armor is obviously more than one.

Not all the armor-piercing projectiles whizzing towards the enemy's turret hit the most ideal position, because the tiger hiding behind the snow slope only exposed half of the frontal projection area, and nearly half of the first armor-piercing projectiles hit the enemy's turret. The armor on the front of the car body, which had an extremely steep angle, did useless work, and a small part hit the side armor of the car body and then bounced straight away without any suspense.

The effect of armor-piercing projectiles hitting the front armor of the turret is still unsatisfactory.

Almost ten IS1 heavy tanks opened fire almost at once. The final result was just to penetrate the front armor of a Tiger tank on the spot. The penetration position below the front armor of the turret directly detonated the armor on the left and right sides of the vehicle body. The ammunition rack was ready to be fired, and the huge fire and flames sent the Tiger to hell and tore it into pieces in the blink of an eye.

But after a violent explosion of ammunition, the remaining seven Tiger tanks were still turning their dark muzzles to aim at the target. Now it was the Tigers' turn to roar.
