Super Weapon Swap System

"In order to adapt to your bridge and other restrictions, the design total weight of this tank is 48 tons, and a good balance is achieved in firepower, mobility and protection." Qin Guan began to introduce.

The first indicator of a tank is its self weight. Everything starts on this premise.

For example, Western tanks are often 60 or 70 tons. The weight of this kind of tank has a very good protective ability, and the space is large enough. However, this kind of tank has high requirements for roads. If some bridges are limited to 50 tons, it can't pass. It needs engineers to reinforce, which will waste time.

From a global perspective, the weight of tanks is increasing. After all, the stronger the steel box is, the better. However, for tank designers, it must be balanced.

For the holy state, no more than 50 tons is the best. The current design is 48 tons. That's in case of future improvement, leaving a margin of 2 tons. Qin Guan took these into account.

With this index, we can continue. For example, if the self weight is no more than 50 tons, six pairs of load wheels are required. Many Western tanks are seven pairs of load wheels, because the self weight is too large, there are few load wheels, which is not enough, and the torque borne by the torsion bar is too large.

"Let's talk about its firepower. This 125mm tank gun can be the same model as the Azra tank just mentioned, so that when you operate, you can greatly reduce the difficulty of logistics supply." Qin Guan said that even Qin Guan just thought of this advantage. Originally, he planned to put 105mm guns on tank 59, so there are many kinds of logistics shells, As like as two peas, the tank guns are exactly the same, so that they can reduce the logistics supply, which is a real advantage. 125.

Balajie nodded: "yes, in the future, our tanks will have a unified caliber of 125 mm, and the logistics supply will be much less difficult."

"Of course, this tank gun can also use the same semi-automatic loader as the Azra tank just mentioned. At the same time, it also has the option of automatic loading. It depends on the needs of norms. The test results of our domestic tanks are very stable, but it still needs to be retested in the high temperature environment here."

Qin Guan said, pointing to the shells around the turret. In fact, the Khalid tank originally used an automatic loader, which was copied from the automatic loader of T-72 tank. However, due to the more advanced domestic electronic technology and high processing accuracy, it can be said that the reliability of the prototype automatic loader has been solved, This automatic loader is very mature.

As for how to choose, it's their business. Our own side just provides these equipment.

"Then let's talk about its power system. For a 48 ton tank, 1200 HP engine is enough. We have such a suitable engine in China. At the same time, you can also find Western engines to test through procurement bidding, and we will finally choose the most suitable one," Qin Guan said.

Domestic tank engines are already very good. At least on the 80 tanks ordered by the date country, they also use domestic engines. However, Qin Guan is very generous to the brothers of the holy country and let them choose by themselves. Anyway, they can choose a lot of schemes.

At the beginning, when ordering warships, people could get lm2500 gas turbines from Eagle country at no cost and complete military assistance. Of course, it would be better if they could get free engines from abroad. Their own side was only responsible for integration.

When Qin Guan said this, balajie asked his own question: "now, bear country and Eagle country have begun to build gas turbine tanks. Is this kind of engine better?"

Xiongguo's T-80 uses gtd-1250 gas turbine with rated speed of 3300 per minute and maximum power of 920kw. The agt-1500 gas turbine used by Yingguo on the M-1 tank has a rated speed of 3000 per minute and a maximum power of 1119kw.

Both are gas turbines with three-axis structure, which are very similar, but agt-1500 is equipped with intercooling and regenerative devices in order to pursue higher energy utilization.

Since eagle and bear are the most advanced in technology, their choice represents one direction. Now that we want to build new tanks, even general balajie has this idea. Can we get on the gas turbine?

Facing each other's questions, Qin Guan said, "well, we can also try. I think we can get T-80 gas turbines from some channels. Moreover, the power is just enough and the volume is good."

If it had been before, Qin Guan would have made a decision immediately. Gas turbine? Can you afford it? That's a must for local tyrants. They don't have an oil field at home. Dare you use that thing?

But now, Qin Guan's idea has changed. After all, this thing still has some advantages. Compared with the diesel engine, its biggest feature is that it won't shut down. If you operate it casually, it won't shut down the engine. At the same time, it also means that its torque is extremely strong and its acceleration is quite good.

As for the others, don't say anything about fast startup and high power density.

In the past, Qin Guan didn't do it because he knew that this kind of thing burned too much oil and was certainly inappropriate in China. Therefore, when it developed in China, it was directly rejected by him. However, it's different now. Now it's developed for the holy country. Since they want to use it, they should do it for testing. Anyway, they already have time and energy, If there is such a research atmosphere, it should be regarded as a scientific research project, and let the domestic tank experts see whether the gas turbine is reliable or not.

After the test, the holy nation is estimated not to purchase. After all, their funds are limited. After several tests, it is found that drinking oil is the same as drinking water, which will definitely be put on the shelf.

In fact, this is mainly because this thing is very wonderful. There is no difference in fuel consumption between idle speed and high speed.

Ordinary diesel engines have low idle fuel consumption, so some drivers are reluctant to burn oil. Almost all of them are idle during the whole process. They think they have saved a lot. A 150 horsepower machine has only used 30 horsepower. In fact, carbon deposits and the like will make the engine scrapped earlier. However, fuel saving is indeed fuel saving.

But the gas turbine is different. The fuel consumption rate is the same when idling and running at high speed. Especially when it is on standby, it idles all the time and consumes all the fuel. When it is needed, it can't go up. This is the saddest scene of the T-80 in the bear country's civil war.

Of course, the solution is to add an auxiliary power unit without starting the gas turbine. Now that we have enough time and money, we can also carry out these tests and pre research.

Fire, mobility, that's all. What's left is protection.
