122 The power of the heirloom is already very powerful. As long as it is not as hard as the super turtle shell like Tiger King's, if it is hit with a cannon, it will definitely be a miserable end for the German stick to be blown up and the bones will fly.
What if this power is further improved and replaced with a 130mm main gun on a destroyer?
Although the caliber seems to have only increased a little, the power of this large-caliber artillery over 100 mm will increase exponentially, even if the caliber is only slightly increased by a few millimeters, and the power will skyrocket.
According to Malashenko's guess, a single shot of this thing, not to mention an armor-piercing projectile, or a direct high-explosive grenade, would probably blow up most of the German turtle's shells to the point of paralysis and put him to death on the spot. Previously, 122 high-explosive grenades were used.
It's almost fun to use explosive grenades to bomb King Tiger. Although it can destroy it, it usually takes multiple rounds of shells to hit it continuously.
This time I changed to a 130mm naval gun, and used a semi-automatic loader with an increased rate of fire. I guess the Germans will now have a more "smooth and exciting" experience. Malashenko can't wait even now
I'm going to drive this thing and crush the Germans.
"Very good, I can already imagine the German guy trembling under this main gun. The loading speed is also good. I estimate that if both loaders are skilled, the ammunition set process just now should be compressed to ten seconds.
The key depends on how well the two people cooperate, which is a big test."
The is7 is equipped with two loaders, which has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that even if one loader falls during the battle, the is7 can still maintain a good loading speed and continue fighting. The blessing of a semi-automatic loader means that
Some tasks that should be done by two people can be completed by one person, but the time will be a little slower, but it is still acceptable.
As for this shortcoming, it is actually quite simple. It is the task distribution and tacit cooperation between the two loaders during the entire loading process.
After all, this semi-automatic loader is not something you can just press a button and get it done. The entire loading process still requires the precise operation of the loader. If you are in a hurry during the loading process and get the order wrong, for example, let the warheads line up.
If it's behind the propellant barrel, then this ingenious design that saves time will have the opposite effect.
This kind of thing is not impossible. As long as the coordination between the two loaders is insufficient and the sequence or the tasks assigned by individuals are mistaken, it is entirely possible.
Thinking of this, Malashenko also thought of his command vehicle. According to the current configuration of the vehicle crew, there is only one loader, Artem, who is a former shipyard worker.
If we really want to install the is7 as the latest command vehicle, we will have to find a good loader to cooperate with Artyom.
As for who is the suitable candidate, Malashenko is not sure yet. He does not have a suitable candidate in mind. He can only resolve this matter in detail after returning to the front line.
"It seems that I have to consider equipping my command vehicle with a loader. One person cannot handle this machine."
Shashmulin, who is also good at observing words and expressions, saw that Malashenko was very satisfied with his current state, whether it was his eyes, tone, or expression.
After learning about this situation, Shashmulin finally breathed a sigh of relief. This semi-automatic loader can be said to be the latest trendy gadget on the entire Project 260 prototype vehicle.
And often the newer things are, the more likely they are to malfunction. The immature design leads to a lot of problems. The actual combat effectiveness is greatly reduced compared to the paper performance, or even seriously inferior to expectations.
There are examples of this, don’t think too much, the German guy opposite is the best example.
The Germans always like to pile all kinds of fancy new gadgets on their new cars. Regardless of whether the design is appropriate or the technology is immature, they will pile them on as long as they are available. It seems that this kind of piling up with new technology
The better the monsters appear on paper, the more powerful they are in real combat. Obviously, the truth is not on the side of the Germans.
Shashmulin tried his best to avoid such a situation when he was developing the is7's semi-automatic loader. Although this was the first time he tried it on a heavy tank, Shashmulin still had a clear and confident design idea.
Wherever possible, we should do our best to make things simple and try every means to avoid complicated designs. This is the core design spirit that has been implemented from beginning to end.
Therefore, even though the semi-automatic loader of the 260 Project Prototype vehicle looks "full of earthiness" and is such a high-end loader, it is still operated using the earth hammer method of a hand crank, which is not the same as that of later generations.
Those autoloaders that push a button and do it all are a far cry from that.
But there is no doubt that this thing is simple. The simpler the structure, the less likely it is to break. This is the same reason that the early Nokia mobile phones were much more durable than various later smartphones.
Simple, reliable, and sufficient, it maximizes the actual combat effectiveness under limited conditions and tight time. This is the greatest significance of this semi-automatic loader that looks "full of earthy flavor." Blind pursuit of elegance and elegance
Stacking up new technologies actually doesn't make much sense, especially now that the fault tolerance rate is still very low and the opportunity will not give you too many war years.
So if Malashenko is asked to give an evaluation, then "I am very satisfied" must be the most appropriate word that Malashenko can think of to express his true emotions at the moment.
After introducing the semi-automatic loader, which is relatively the most complicated part of the whole vehicle and is certainly the latest design, Shashmulin also has a very proud design to show Malashenko. The most important key point is the gunner.
on the position.
"We have fully absorbed some design deficiencies mentioned in the frontline feedback report and made improvements and innovations in Project 260. For example, the main gun firing device is a good example."
"The Germans have done a very good job in this regard. Their entire fire control system has achieved a very high comprehensive level, and the human-machine efficiency is better than ours. This must be admitted. The German gunners can often succeed in actual combat.
, it has nothing to do with this advantage.”
"So while we are innovating, we also draw on and absorb some of the German design successes."
"We have integrated the three functions of main gun pitching, turret rotation, and main gun firing into one device. This way the gunner can concentrate on searching for the enemy and aiming in actual combat, without having to do it at the same time.
Manipulating multiple different devices causes distraction and reduces combat performance."
"At least during the loading test, it did not have any problems. We think this new design is reliable because it is not complicated and just integrates the functions of multiple mature devices."
