Chapter 740 Are you going to spend half a century too?

The thing placed in the center of the container was beyond everyone's expectations, because it was neither equipment nor ammunition, nor even a prop.

"Can you still drive the tank directly!"

Looking at the khaki-colored tank in front of him, Otowa couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"It's amazing, it is indeed an ultra-rare container."

After Otowa, Qianhe also spoke with some emotion.

"Where's the child I've never seen before..." Mei Xiang tilted her head.

This tank has a two-stage upper body similar to the M60, but the body looks much tougher, and there is almost no arc.

"As a prototype, this tank is indeed very rare." Qianzuru paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "But this does not affect its status, it has been a mass-produced model for more than half a century. "

"Hey, is this..."

"Abrams' prototype vehicle, numbered XM1, was developed by Chrysler's military product department. It defeated the Leopard 1976AV in the evaluation test in 2, and then became the standard tank of the US military." Qianhe said unhurriedly. Said.

"I always feel that the gap is a bit big..." Otoyu said with some doubts.

Although the front of the turret of this prototype vehicle also adopts a V-shaped armor layout, the gun mantlet protrudes for a long distance, and it does not have the integrated compactness of the mass-produced model.

In addition to the front of the turret, the front armor layout of the XM1 is also different from the M1. The XM1 does not use the design of the M1's head-down bomb response. The area of ​​the head-up and the head-down looks about the same size, and both have a huge inclination angle.

If you insist on giving an example, it is probably China's Type 96 main battle tank.

"Is this thing reliable?"

"It's unreliable." Qianhe shook his head, and then continued: "The 1mm M105 of the XM68 is a copy of the British L7, and the armor is not the famous depleted uranium composite, but the British Chobham."

Don't think that the M1 is very tall. The initial mass production of this thing is also very touching. The real god has to wait for the M120A1HA equipped with depleted uranium composite armor and a 1mm smoothbore gun to appear.

If the U.S. military used 105mm guns and Chobham’s initial production M1 during the Gulf War, they might not have been able to beat the stupid T-72.

"Then what's the use of this thing..."

After hearing Otowa's question, Chizuru explained again.

"It is still stronger than other 9.0 vehicles. It should have powerful shells inside. And in the final battle... it is better to use the main battle. Now is the opportunity to change the vehicle."

Although the mobility of the Fox armored vehicle is very high, which one in this game doesn't mean where to fight?The final battle can only be head-to-head, and the armor advantage in the main battle is still obvious.

……

"It's really spacious..."

Compared with the Fox armored vehicle, the space in the XM1 vehicle body is many times larger, which even made Otowa feel a little uncomfortable all of a sudden.

Although such a large space is a bit of a waste of tonnage, it is actually because of these reserved spaces that the M1 can be upgraded all the way without hindrance, and even last for half a century.

"Meixiang, check the ammunition model."

At this moment, Chizuru's voice suddenly came from the front of the chariot.

"Ah, okay." Meixiang hurriedly turned to the ammunition rack behind her, and after a while she continued, "That...M393A2, M456A1, and M774."

Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of these numbers, Mei Xiang read them all.

"M774! I found a treasure." Qianzuru raised the corner of her mouth, and then said with a smile on her face, "Although the caliber is still 105mm, this is a depleted uranium armor-piercing bomb."

Depleted uranium is a heavy metal like lead and other metals. It has the characteristics of high density, explosiveness, high strength and high hardness of depleted uranium metal, and spontaneous sharpness when depleted uranium penetrates.Its density is 19.1 grams per cubic centimeter, which is 2.4 times that of steel, close to that of tungsten, and almost twice that of lead.

The depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile refers to the armor-piercing projectile made of depleted uranium as the main raw material.Due to the high density of depleted uranium, the mass of the projectile with the same volume is also greater, which is also the main reason for the strong armor-piercing performance of depleted uranium armor-piercing projectiles.

In addition, the warhead of the depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile is constantly self-sharpening during the armor-piercing process, while the tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile is self-blunting, which also increases the penetration ability of the depleted uranium projectile to a certain extent.

In addition, because uranium is easy to oxidize, it will generate heat and burn when piercing armor, which will form a large after-destructive effect, which can kill the crew and destroy the internal equipment of the tank. Simply put, the after-effect is very good.

"This thing won't have radiation or something?"

Otowa still remembers the meme about the high probability of testicular cancer in A10 pilots. Although it was all a joke, it also proved everyone's concerns about the side effects of depleted uranium bombs.

"Don't worry, the War Game Alliance packaged the shells very well. After all, if something happened, it would be an epic operational accident." Qianhe said with a smile.

"It's good to be safe."

After hearing Qianzuru's words, Mika beside Otowa also heaved a sigh of relief.

"Qianhe, have you figured out how this thing works?" Otowa yelled from inside the vehicle while debugging the fire control of the tank: "Our time is running out, a team is approaching at high speed."

"It's been a long time ago. The operation method of this thing is still similar to that of XM1A3."

woo-

As soon as Qianhe's voice fell, there was the unique turbine sound when the gas turbine started from the rear of the car.

In half a century, M1 has undergone several upgrades of artillery armor electronic equipment, but the engine has always been AGT1500, which has hardly changed.

Do you want to use half a century.jpg
21世纪不少坦克都装备了1500马力的发动机，不过在20世纪70年代，1500马力的燃气轮机简直就是天顶星科技一般的存在。

As Qianhe continued to operate, the sound of the turbo became louder and louder, and a large amount of exhaust gas rushed out of the exhaust port in the process.

"At 5 o'clock, prepare to fight!"

"Follow your orders~"

Amidst the creaking sound of bearing shaft friction, the tank where Otowa was located spun on the spot, and it didn't take long before the vehicle body pointed in the direction Otowa said.

"Sure enough, the main battle is interesting."

Otowa likes the flamboyant and cheap style of armored vehicles very much, but the heaviness of the main battle is also irreplaceable.

buzzing-

Driven by the motor, the steering gear and the height gear of the tank turret started to work slowly, aiming the muzzle at the enemy's incoming position.

"Loading AP shells!"

"Oh!"

Mei Xiang quickly took out an M774 from the ammunition rack behind her, then pushed it into the cannon in a panic, and closed the breech block at the same time.

"Don't be so nervous."

After seeing Mika's performance, a smile appeared on Otowa's face.
