Steel Soviet Union

The heavy projectile hit the armor plate on the front of the car, making a roaring sound and splashing out dazzling metal sparks. The expected scene of piercing the armor plate on the spot and pouring into it did not happen. 6⃞ 9⃞ s⃞ h⃞ u⃞ x⃞ .⃞ c⃞ o⃞ m⃞

One after another, the 122 mm full-caliber armor-piercing projectiles were directly bounced away and pointed towards the sky, or they plunged into the armor plate on the front of the Panther's body and turned into non-penetrating artillery shells, or they were exhausted. After piercing the kinetic energy, he fell directly to the ground.

All in all, after the smoke, flames, and scattered snowflakes caused by the brief explosion disappeared, the Panthers one after another continued to fight their way out with the scarred armor on the front of the car body. Whether it's the crater that hasn't penetrated or the scratches left by the shell after it bounced off, they almost all silently illustrate one point.

The Red Army 122 family heirloom, which had been invincible in the past, seems to have become a useless and malfunctioning waste this time.

"Malashenko, the shooting is ineffective! Those German Panthers are still moving forward!"

Before Malashenko could make any practical response, Lavrinenko's obviously uncomfortable and even slightly panicked voice came from the radio transmitter hanging on the shelf at hand. Get familiar with the voice.

It’s no wonder that Lavrinenko suddenly acted so uncalmly, everyone had almost the same reaction for the first time when this happened to him.

It's like there used to be a harmless little tabby cat next door to your house. You were ready to tease it every day when you passed by it, and every time you were successful and had a great time playing with it.

But on a seemingly ordinary morning, you pass by the door of your neighbor's house and are about to tease the cat again, but suddenly you find that the cat is gone, and in its place is a ferocious saber-toothed tiger waiting for you without a chain. Rushing towards you.

Are you still petting the cat now? Fuck his mother's ass! I was so scared to death that I still rolled my hair!

The Black Panther, which could be manipulated at will, turned out to be a "precious thing" with a 122-gun cannon that could not penetrate the armor on the front of the vehicle. The level of surprise and shock in the hearts of Malashenko and Lavrinenko was undoubtedly beyond words.

Lavrinenko was in a state of confusion, his brain was disconnected, and he couldn't figure out what was going on with this extremely weird scene in front of him.

On the contrary, Malashenko, after being slightly surprised at first, gradually came to his senses and gradually guessed what was going on.

The group of German rags across the street who look almost the same as black panthers are probably pretending to be pigs and eating tigers!

Reminiscent of what the commander of the 4th Guards Tank Brigade had personally reported to him before, about those strange enemy tanks that looked like black panthers but could not be penetrated by 122 cannons. It was only then that Malashenko, who had just woken up from a dream, came up with the accurate answer: It turned out that it was not a Porsche King Tiger at all! It is a genuine, brand new Black Panther 2 medium tank that has been upgraded with armor!

In the vast outer space, there are two mysterious planets, one named Anton Star and the other named Sergei Star.

It is said that there is a kind of local indigenous creature called "Black Panther 2" living on these two planets. Not only does it have a strong front armor that can carry 122, and the turret carries the Long 88 of the same model as the Tiger King, it even has It has an efficient engine with greater horsepower and is comparable to the first-generation main battle tank in the early Cold War. It has the three major advantages of firepower, protection, and maneuverability. It can be called a hero among medium tanks.

But the earth is not one of those mysterious outer space planets. Malashenko really didn’t expect that Black Panther 2, which only existed in the legend, would appear in front of him in such an outrageous way.

The armor protection does seem to meet the rumored design specifications, and there is no problem in carrying the 122 Heirloom on the front of the car body. The mobility performance does not seem to be a big problem. At least in the current short-distance cross-country performance, there is almost no obvious difference from the original ordinary Panther. In terms of speed, it can still maintain lightning-like efficient maneuvering speed.

What about firepower? What is the most critical firepower output?

Malashenko, who widened his eyes again and glanced at the commander's periscope in front of him, discovered that the group of Black Panthers rushing towards him on the opposite side did not seem to use the semi-curved mantlet turret that was the iconic feature of the past.

Instead, uh, how should I put it? Instead, a turret that is more similar to a polygonal trapezoid is used, which is placed directly on the body of the car and surges forward. It looks like a pyramid or something like that is placed on a base.

If Malashenko guessed correctly, it can be determined based on this iconic appearance alone that these Black Panthers use the F-type turret of the last Black Panther 1, which is also the same type used on Anton and Sergei stars. That thing with a length of 88.

But being on an alien planet does not mean that it is on the earth. Malashenko knows that for the extremely narrow internal space of the Panther F-type turret, trying to stuff an over-long and over-sized Long 88 into it is no different. So idiots talk about dreams.

Let’s not talk about whether it can be installed. Even if it can be installed, the retreat distance of the breech block when the main gun fires is definitely not enough. There was a loud bang directly hitting the rear bulkhead of the turret and the breech block was destroyed. Definitely a foreseeable result.

The F-type turret can only carry 75 guns. Unless the Germans design a new type of turret, it is absolutely impossible for the Panther to carry the 88 gun!

Malashenko had this suspicion in his mind and firmed up his judgment, and immediately blurted out the contingency order that followed.

"Attention everyone! The Germans on the opposite side have invested in a new medium tank that is an improved variant of the Panther. The front of the tank can no longer be directly penetrated by the 122 gun. Don't make any more useless attempts! Focus on shooting the turrets of those Panthers. It’s still not strong enough to withstand our main artillery fire, keep firing!”

To be honest, it is not an easy task to hit the high-speed maneuvering Panther F-type turret at a regular combat distance.

The Black Panther itself is known as a "small-headed son". The huge body and the small turret are simply out of proportion and dwarfed by them. This point became even more serious after the F-type turret. The front projection area of ​​the F-type turret was further reduced, once again reducing the probability of being hit in actual combat.

The vast majority of Panthers who died under the muzzle of the Red Army's 122 gun were shot through the head. There is a reason for this. No gunner is willing to aim at a turret with a higher chance of missing, knowing that it can penetrate the hull of the vehicle.

But it was this inertial thinking and previous combat experience that led to the shooting of the car body, which caused the failure just now and gave Malashenko a complete epiphany.

After the update order from the division commander resounded throughout the radio channel, the Red Army heavy tanks, relying on the explosive reloading speed of the first few rounds of ammunition and quickly loading again, once again moved towards the enemy who was getting closer. The tank turret opened fire.
