Chapter 539

"Your Excellency, the entry into service of the Tiger heavy tank will give the Imperial Army a greater advantage in armored forces. No matter it is the Woolly Bear Alliance or the Eagle Sauce Country, they are definitely no match for the empire!"Marshal Bromberg seemed confident.

As for the Eastern Empire, another powerful country in the world, he was not in everyone's eyes at all. Those tanks of the Eastern Empire were nothing more than a joke in the eyes of the marshals of the Third Reich..

Hess nodded:"Yes, in terms of the performance of the Tiger heavy tank, it is definitely the most powerful tank in the world. Perhaps the only tank that can defeat the Tiger heavy tank is the tank we are developing."

All the marshals of the Third Reich couldn't help but laugh.

As senior leaders of the Imperial Army, they were naturally very aware of the Imperial Army's tank research and development plans.

The Tiger heavy tanks were in service, making the Third Reich different from other countries in the world in terms of tanks. The gap has once again widened. However, the Third Reich's research and development of tanks has not stopped.

Currently, more powerful tanks are being developed. The new tank is named the King Tiger tank and has a more powerful Combat effectiveness. Just changing the caliber of the main gun from 8 mm to 105 mm shows its powerful power. Moreover, the King Tiger tank will also inherit a series of new technologies, such as new armor-piercing projectiles, namely sub-caliber tail-stabilized shelling Armor-piercing projectiles. The artillery stabilization system allows the artillery to fire while moving. The new composite armor further improves the tank's defense. And a more powerful engine gives the tank more powerful maneuverability. It can be said that in In Hess' plan, the King Tiger tank under development will be greatly improved in terms of firepower, maneuverability and defensive performance. Once it is put into service, it will become an epoch-making tank that is different from all current mainstream tanks. In other words, , will become the first-generation main battle tank.

Of course, it is not easy to make breakthroughs in these advanced technologies. Sub-caliber fin-stabilized discarding sabot armor-piercing projectiles will be the mainstream armor-piercing projectiles used by tanks in various countries in the future and are extremely powerful..With the current technological strength of the Third Reich, it will take some time for a breakthrough to be developed. At the current stage, when the tank wants to fire, it must stop and let the tank be in a stationary state. Once the artillery is installed and stabilized The system can avoid this and allow the tank to fire directly while moving. This will undoubtedly be a huge breakthrough for tanks in this era. The attack power of the tanks of the Third Reich will also be more powerful.With the current scientific and technological conditions, it is naturally impossible to develop composite armor as well-made as that of later generations. But even a simple composite armor, that is, using steel plates, adding ceramics, and then adding steel plates, is better than simply using The defensive power of the homogeneous steel plate is much stronger. Moreover, the armor weight of the tank can be further reduced.

And a more powerful engine is the direction of development. The three main components of a tank are firepower, armor and mobility. Performance is indispensable. A truly powerful tank requires three tanks that achieve perfect balance. While the King Tiger tank has powerful firepower and armor, if you want to have a more powerful tank, you must have an even more powerful one. Only with the support of the power system.

It is foreseeable that once the King Tiger tanks of the Third Reich are put into service in the future, the armored forces of all countries in the world will be beaten. In other words, countries will no longer be able to catch up with the development of tanks of the Third Reich. Road.

The Third Reich armored forces used Panther tanks as the main force, coupled with Tiger heavy tanks that acted as sharp knives. This combination of high and low is enough to defeat other countries.

But this does not mean that the Third Reich The armored forces have no rivals. The combination of the Bear Alliance's T-34 tanks and IS heavy tanks is also very powerful. Although it is still no match for the armored forces of the Third Reich, it is enough to pose a threat to the armored forces of the Third Reich. And enough has been paid.

The combination of the Eagle Country's M4 tanks and M26 heavy tanks cannot be underestimated, and it is enough to pose a huge threat to the armored forces of the Third Reich.

Although, the tank research and development progress of the Woolly Bear Alliance and the Eagle Sauce Nation is far from comparable to that of the Third Reich. However, as the war develops, it will also have a huge promotion effect on science and technology. Under the influence of war, the development of military technology will accelerate. This will most likely speed up the development of various weapons and equipment for the enemies of the Third Reich and put them into service at a faster pace.

In another time and space, the IS-1 heavy tanks and IS-2 heavy tanks of the Woolly Bear Alliance were almost all put into service at the end of the war. The M26 heavy tanks of the Eagle Country could hardly keep up with this world war.

But in this time and space, when the development progress of these tanks is accelerated, these powerful tanks are very likely to become the main force in this world war. Therefore, if the Third Reich wants to ensure its advantage in armor, it must further speed up the scientific research process.

When the IS heavy tanks of the Woolly Bear Alliance and the M26 heavy tanks of the Eagle Sauce Nation appeared on the battlefield, the King Tiger main battle tanks of the Third Reich were already in service.

By then, the armored forces of the Third Reich will still be able to defeat the armored forces of various countries on the battlefield.

"When can mass production of Tiger heavy tanks begin? asked Hess.

"Your Excellency, the tank factory is renovating its production line. Once completed, it will be able to mass-produce Tiger heavy tanks. However, the initial output will not be too large."General Guderian replied

"Try to produce 300 Tiger heavy tanks within three months. These heavy tanks are organized into five independent heavy tank battalions and are ready to go into battle. After that, a divisional heavy tank battalion will be established in each armored division." Hess said

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"General Guderian nodded.

According to the time specified by Hess, he vaguely felt that something big would happen in three months.

For the armored forces of the Third Reich, the Panther medium tank is still well-deserved The main force. Even if the Tiger heavy tank is mass-produced, it will not shut down the production line of the Panther medium tank, but will only appropriately reduce the production of the Panther medium tank.

Hess's plan is for an armored division to first equip a Tiger heavy tank tank battalion, and then replace one of the three tank battalions in the tank regiment of each armored division with a Tiger heavy tank battalion. In this way, the number of tanks owned by an armored division will increase to about 360 Tiger heavy tanks. There are 120 vehicles. The rest are Panther medium tanks._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
