Chapter 351 Tracked Armored Fighting Vehicle

The weapon testing ground in Cattail City has been very lively these two days, because it not only undertakes the task of weapon experiments, but also opens up a special area for drivers to test their driver's licenses and crawler combat vehicle licenses.

At first, Feng Yu thought very simply, with the diesel engine, the King of Land War Tank would not be too difficult, but later he found out that he was wrong.

It wasn't because the technique was too difficult, but because he suddenly realized that it was useless to equip Cattail City with tanks.

What is the role of tanks? The most important thing is to fight against enemy tanks, or to attack local heavy armored units and bunkers.

But the problem is that among the potential enemies of Cattail City, there are no tanks, nor heavy armor units that need tank guns to penetrate, and they will not invade Gryen with bunkers.

Therefore, the mounted tank has only one function for Cattail City, and that is to scare people.

But the key point is that the enemies that appear in the plane channel don't know them at all, and enemies like one-eyed trolls or undead don't know what it means to be afraid.

The power of tank guns is excessive, and the requirements for casting technology and special ammunition are too high.

Compared to the flesh-and-blood enemies on all planes, they are light tanks on the earth, and to them they are all super-heavy armored units.

After figuring this out, Feng Yu naturally gave up the unrealistic dream of letting the [-] tank gallop the wilderness, and turned to 'pragmatic'.

What is pragmatism, pragmatism is that he has to understand that the enemies of Cattail City have no tank guns with straight ballistics, no shoulder-fired rockets, and no anti-tank mines.

That is, they have no effective means of armor piercing.

Then, the design of Cattail City's armored combat vehicles should not be based on the ideas on Earth at all, but a design concept of armored combat vehicles that conforms to Grian's characteristics.

Feng Yu believes that only one kind of mobile armor force is enough for Cattail City, and there is not much practical significance if there are too many.

As the defender of Cattail City, the bunker was originally equipped with a large number of high-explosive artillery, large-caliber mortars, and rockets.

According to the records of previous plane wars, the enemies of plane wars are mostly creatures with strong bodies and strong resistance to attack, such as undead creatures and one-eyed trolls.

For this kind of creature, artillery is not very suitable, because as long as it is not directly hit by the artillery or near the damage of the shrapnel, it is difficult to destroy the enemy on a large scale with the shock wave of the high-explosive bomb.

Especially when this kind of creature attacks on a large scale, the smoke and dust raised by the high-explosive bombs will also hinder one's own line of sight, creating favorable conditions for the enemy to approach quickly.

In other words, this kind of weapon, which is very foul in the eyes of humans, especially Moran's mercenaries, may not be effective against enemies from other planes.

Scholars who study plane warfare among the elves believe that if firepower such as demon hunting guns and heavy machine guns can be used in large quantities, they can directly destroy enemies with strong bodies or painless creatures like undead creatures.

With this idea in mind, then Feng Yu designed an armored combat vehicle suitable for plane warfare by combining the performance of the diesel engine in Cattail City, the industrial foundation, and the design concept of the chariot on the earth.

At first, he thought that wheeled infantry fighting vehicles equipped with heavy machine guns or small-caliber direct-firing guns on the earth were particularly suitable and had mobility.

But the design of the chassis, transmission, steering, shock absorption and run-flat tires of that kind of tank is really too complicated.

So Feng Yu chose a similar one, that is, a tracked infantry fighting vehicle.

However, the tracked infantry fighting vehicle in Feng Yu's vision is different from the one on earth.

The tracked infantry fighting vehicles on the earth are relatively flat in design because they have to consider many conditions such as defending against enemy attacks, reducing infrared radiation, and increasing stealth radar stealth.

However, the chariots needed by Cattail City do not have design requirements in this regard.

The infantry fighting vehicles needed by Cattail City only need to take into account the continuity of mobility and firepower, that is, to run as fast as possible, and to be able to carry more weapons and fuel.

This is because there is no road network on the Great Wasteland, so fuel cannot be replenished frequently.

Moreover, once the enemy appears, it must be a large-scale long live charge that is not afraid of death, so the ammunition load of the tank must be large.

Under such design requirements, the tracked chariot produced by Cattail City is completely different. It does not have a flat body, nor does it have a slanted front that can bounce bullets. Instead, it looks like a chubby amphibious chariot as a whole.

However, the chariots in Cattail City do not have the function of launching into the water. There is no water to launch in the arid wasteland. When it comes to the Lengshui River, it is the site of warships, and there is no need for chariots to grab business.

The co-pilot position of this tracked combat vehicle has a heavy machine gun shooting position with a guard plate, which can attack enemies in front of the tank and on the left and right sides.

On the top of the chariot are two "turrets" juxtaposed, equipped with small-caliber high-level dual-purpose anti-aircraft cannons that can be used for pitching and anti-aircraft, can rotate 180 degrees sideways, and can attack the front, rear and one side of the enemy.

Like the previous heavy machine guns, these two anti-aircraft cannons are fed by belts and can provide continuous firepower.

Moreover, whether it is an anti-aircraft gun or a machine gun position, it is a turret design with a built-in personnel to ensure the safety of soldiers to the greatest extent.

As for the rear roof, there is an openable baffle, which can be opened when necessary. Here, soul fire tracking missiles are launched to attack the opponent's long-distance air targets to make up for the lack of machine gun attack range.

Generally speaking, Cattail City's tracked chariots pay more attention to single-body attacks and do not have large-caliber firepower.

However, if necessary, large-caliber artillery can be dragged behind this tracked combat vehicle into the battlefield. Anyway, except for the fixed ones on the fort, the rest of the large-caliber artillery can be dragged with wheels.

As for why only one type of tracked armored vehicle is produced, there is actually no way around it.

The size of Cattail City is too small, and there are not many talents for the design, production, modification and upgrading of tanks. Therefore, for the convenience of improvement and maintenance, only one type of tracked armored vehicle is designed and equipped.

However, this model is enough for the time being. After all, Grynn's enemies rely on magic and flesh, and Cattail City's current firepower, except for the ordinary rifles in the hands of soldiers, has far surpassed that of magic. The attack range of mentor-level magic units.

As for the powerful masters at the level of the great magister, in the targeted combat training of the Cattail City Iron Army, as soon as such an enemy is discovered, it will be saturated with various heavy weapons such as long-range artillery, rockets, and soul fire tracking missiles.

This is the attack level designed by Feng Yu for Cattail City at this stage, and the research and development of Cattail City is still in progress, but most of those that are still being designed are unconventional super firepower.
