After knowing the weaknesses and penetration range of the German tanks, the T3485s did not stand still and started a shooting game with the Germans.
Even if it is basically equal in terms of firepower output, the T3485 is at an irrefutable absolute armor disadvantage compared to the German Panther or King Tiger. On the contrary, it has a greater mobility.
The advantages are worth taking advantage of.
Brother Dali once said: "Then if I remain motionless, wouldn't I be a bastard?"
No one wants to be a bastard, no one with a little bit of brain, ability to think, and sense of reason wants to be, and naturally that includes the Red Army medium tank soldiers who drive these T3485s.
Compared to Black Panther 2 and Tiger King, the T3485s were particularly good at maneuvering. Although they could not be said to be as fast as the wind in the muddy wilderness, the sight of large swaths of mud rising into the sky with their speeding tracks alone.
, you can see how fast it is. This is basically what tank racing is all about these days.
After one round of shooting, the T3485s entered a high-speed maneuvering state. They continued to fire even while moving, trying their best to continuously aim at the German turret while moving at high speed.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult to accurately hit, penetrate the armor, and defeat the German Black Panther 2. There is no doubt about this.
But the Russian armor-piercing projectiles kept passing by the turret with sharp wind-piercing screams, or ricocheting near the penetration position, making a ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-metal-colliding sound.
The already nervous SS armored soldiers were put under unimaginable psychological pressure.
On the one hand, one must maintain a high level of mental concentration and maintain precise operations to continue fighting without losing concentration. On the other hand, one must also be on tenterhooks for fear that the next armor-piercing bullet flying from nowhere will tear the turret apart with a "bang" sound of metal collision.
The armor poured into the tank, blasting everyone on and off the vehicle to pieces, turning them into a mass of flesh and blood.
It is impossible to say that there is no psychological pressure. At best, it is just a matter of different people's will and mentality, and the impact will be different.
Of course, there is another situation derived from this, that is, the SS armored personnel in combat status were a little confused, and even directly made operational errors. This inevitably delayed time and delayed the fighter opportunity.
A fleeting moment of precious opportunity will not stop waiting for you.
On the German side, the main gun missed the target at close range, and the probability of the artillery shells missing the target began to skyrocket. They seized the opportunity and rushed to the last hundred meters, and so far they have not implemented any unnecessary tactics.
This is no longer necessary.
Having cut into the shortest straight line, the T3485s began to rush straight towards their nearest targets, with no other purpose than to attack the side armor of the Germans, specifically targeting the soft underbelly position that was the easiest to penetrate.
The German tanks, which had already sensed the opponent's purpose, responded quickly. The two tracks supported by the dual-stream transmission began to drive the heavy vehicle body at a speed visible to the naked eye, and changed the course. They tried their best to move as fast as possible.
Try to keep the strongest main armor belt on the front of the car body facing the enemy, and the turret will also accelerate and point towards the enemy while rotating together to ensure that it can fire at any time.
This scene seemed familiar, but last time the Germans took the initiative, almost forcing Malashenko, who did not have a dual-stream transmission system and could only slowly and lamely turn the car's course, to a dead end.
Feng Shui is turning, and I'm coming to your home today.
The Viking division, which has always been domineering and cruel, probably never thought that one day it would happen that the Russians would take advantage of them and make them confused.
With the support of dual-stream transmission, the speed of turning the car body on the spot is very fast, but the speed of T3485 running at full speed and charging at close range is even faster than this!
Even after destroying several T3485s at this face-to-face distance, the scene that the SS armorers least wanted to see being surrounded by the enemy finally happened as promised.
"Aim for the Kraut's belly! Hit me!"
"Fire!"
boom--
The biggest problem on the previous generation of Black Panther 1 is that the defense of the side and rear armor is too weak. It is so weak that even the Red Army's light tanks can easily penetrate it if they reach a sufficient distance. This is impossible for everyone.
It is too fragile for the main medium tank that is facing the enemy, so fragile that it is almost unacceptable.
According to the improvement requirements put forward by the National Defense Force, the Panther 2's body has indeed been strengthened to a certain extent on the side and rear armor. At least it will no longer be easily shot by some BT fast tanks like before.
But in front of the T34's newly installed 85mm gun, the enhanced defensive armor is still the same as the original. There is no difference. Even if it is described as useless, it is not an exaggeration to describe it.
The 85mm hood-piercing projectile easily tore through the side armor of the Black Panther 2, shattered the hood and then poured into the interior of the vehicle.
Similar to the layout of the ammunition racks of the previous generation Panther 1, the ammunition racks of the Panther 2 are still concentrated on both sides of the vehicle body. The 75mm fixed-loading ammunition is neatly stacked on the left and right sides of the centrally placed loading hand.
.
Loading is indeed convenient, but when the ammunition explodes and flies, the force is also uniform, which is a lot more convenient.
The moment it penetrated the armor on the side of the car body, it hit the 85mm armor-piercing projectile on the rear ammunition rack and exploded the ammunition in an instant.
The raging torrent generated by the explosion of ammunition rushed through the interior of the tank like a fire dragon, igniting the fuel tank in the vehicle body, triggering a powerful fuel explosion, and also killed all five SS armored personnel in the vehicle in the blink of an eye.
Torn to pieces.
From the moment they were successfully bypassed by T3485, it would be extremely difficult for the SS armored personnel to regain their disadvantage if they wanted to keep facing the enemy.
Even if the dual-flow transmission turns the car body faster, it will never be faster than the racing speed of the T3485.
One after another, the T3485s circled around the extremely clumsy-looking German tanks. The German Panther 2 and King Tiger, who were tired of coping, simply gave up on the targets closest to them and began to attack those that could be reached in the shortest time.
T3485 completed its aim and rescued his comrades. At the same time, he also hoped that others would do the same to him to help each other.
At least, this won't be a useless waste of time, and it's better than being led around in circles by a Russian on a leash like a dog.
When the war situation reaches this point, it cannot be said that the German army has no hope of winning. If it can maintain the status quo and continue to persevere without collapsing, it can even be said that the German army has a good chance of winning, and the chance of winning is quite large.
However, the premise of all this is that no other Red Army troops arrive urgently and enter the battlefield. This is what the German army has always been afraid of.
But sometimes, what you fear most will come true. The reality is so joking and extremely cruel.
The roar of diesel engines coming from the rear, like the mechanical sound of thousands of horses galloping, became the last funeral bell heard by the German soldiers before they died.
