Kinetic energy armor-piercing projectiles, anti-tank missiles, anti-tank rifles, and all anti-tank weapons that could be found were firing.
It can even barely reach the ultimate range, but the accuracy is not guaranteed at all.
What can only be described as a "half-Tibetan style of randomness" was swarmed by the Germans with their iron fists, and various projectile missiles were "whooshing" toward Malashenko, with constant roars and explosions.
Unexpectedly, "Teacher Ma came prepared" and "doesn't talk about martial arts ethics".
Past battles made Malashenko realize a more serious problem: these idiots have suffered many losses, and they know that the rags in their hands are basically useless against the heavy tanks of the Red Army.
After just hearing the noise to create fun, I simply changed to a more disgusting routine - hitting the track at the meeting, specifically breaking the leg.
No matter how strong and sturdy the IS7's armor is, the tracks are still an unavoidable weakness and are the "Achilles' heel" of all tanks in the world.
Let alone being hit by an anti-tank gun when it comes to tracks, even if a "gadget" like the Iron Fist was hit directly, a steel behemoth like the IS7 weighing more than 60 tons would have to rest on the spot.
The nest, even in the best case scenario, becomes a fixed turret that cannot be maneuvered and has a rotatable turret.
It is obviously unacceptable to Malashenko that the IS7, which is already limited in number and precious, has been destroyed through such trouble.
Determined to solve this problem, Malashenko hired his own "General Manager", who was in charge of all field maintenance, field modification and logistics support tasks for the entire division. Karamo held the important position of commander of the comprehensive support brigade.
husband.
The requirement is very simple and only one, no unnecessary nonsense.
"I don't care what method you use, in short, you must find a way to solve the problem of my leg being broken by the Germans. There is no room for maneuver and it must be solved!"
After receiving the order to kill his comrade, Karamov thought for a while, and brought some of his most reliable core technicians to hammer around the IS7, discuss it, and finally gave a "reliable" answer.
The improvement plan must be made by the teacher and comrade before it is reliable.”
Remove the original fenders on both sides of the IS7 body and the front end of the crawler track. Only the front end piece needs to be removed, replace it with a solid reinforced armor plate, weld it on, and fix it permanently.
If we weld a layer of modular additional composite armor to the outside of this armor plate, we don't expect to remove it again, and it will be used as a permanent reinforcement of the defense. Anyway, it won't add more than a few hundred kilograms in one operation.
Weighing over 65 tons, for an IS7 carrying a torpedo boat engine, this is just a drizzle of weight gain, so why bother?
According to the test results given by Karamov, this can at least be completely immune to the Germans' iron fists and tank killer bombardments. The permanent composite armor, which uses reinforced and welded solid armor steel as the base plate, is not easily exploded and can withstand repeated attacks.
Multiple strikes can enhance the protective effect, which is the biggest advantage over ordinary external composite armor plates.
The disadvantage is not that it doesn't exist. Once it is welded to death, it will be difficult to replace it.
If it endures too many blows and the entire composite armor and the solid steel bottom plate are completely destroyed, the entire bottom plate will have to be cut off and replaced, and then welded again.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want strong enough protection, you have to make certain sacrifices. This is an inevitable trade-off.
Malashenko, who had indeed thought carefully about it, finally agreed to this plan, and asked Karamov to seize the time to urgently modify a batch of IS7s to test the effect first.
This test unit was also the heavy guard tank company of the division led by Malashenko. This battle was also the first actual combat test of this new improvement plan.
To be honest, whether this "battlefield local method transformation" which is quite "temporary" can be effective depends on today's experience.
The development of the situation was exactly as Malashenko expected.
The unscrupulous bunch of scumbags on the opposite side who came to the ancestral graves to emit black smoke really did the same thing again. As soon as all kinds of guided, unguided, kinetic or chemical anti-tank ammunition came up, they were almost all directed towards the vital points of the IS7's tracks.
Coming at you.
To be honest, Malashenko feels really stupid. To be honest, the power of those anti-tank ammunition of the Germans is not bad. It can even be said that the power is not small and very advanced. It is just that the defense power of IS7 is too strong.
It's all just trash.
But can the newly added 50mm solid armor base plate and a layer of permanently welded modular composite armor plate really be able to withstand the power of these German anti-tank ammunition?
I have to admit that Malashenko really wanted to say - hanging.
The moment when the answer is revealed will come quickly, in the blink of an eye.
Boom boom boom——
Following several loud explosions one after another, the Germans fired Panzerfaust anti-tank grenades, tank-killing rockets, and even an anti-tank missile, all of which successfully hit the front row of vehicles including Malashenko's car.
IS7 heavy tank. And at such an extremely close range, almost all of them without exception hit the track or parts close to the track.
The tank-killing rocket that hit the composite armor plate exploded with a loud bang. This 88mm anti-tank rocket that was copied from the Yankee Bazooka has good power. Not only is the T3485 with its thin skin and big stuff a dead end when it encounters it,
Even the weak spots on the front of the turret and the front of the body of the IS2 can be effectively penetrated. It is indeed a powerful infantry anti-tank weapon these days.
But this time, the "leg-breaking skill" that had been tried so many times was destined to fail.
The tank-killing rocket that exploded against the composite armor plate did work smoothly, producing a metal jet and destructive aftereffects.
The outermost layer of welded composite armor alone will definitely not be able to withstand the direct bombardment of a tank killer, but with the 50mm solid steel armor as the base plate, this is not necessarily the case.
After a loud noise and waiting until the smoke cleared, the German anti-tank soldiers who thought that the Russian steel monster on the opposite side had been paralyzed and unable to move were shocked to find it.
The successful hit of his just now not only failed to break the track and prevent the Russian steel monster from moving forward, it even failed to defeat the front fender of the track, which is stereotyped as "too weak to resist the wind and fly away as soon as it explodes".
Get rid of it.
The Russian steel monster with a terrifying size and great visual impact was still racing forward like crazy. It seemed that it was not affected by the blow just now at full power, as if it made a sound when it was hit.
.
But the most shocking thing is not the scene in front of me. The state of another IS7 that swallowed an anti-tank missile alive is even more shocking.
