Of course, the French FT10, Renault tank, and British MK series tanks also brought this pressure to the Germans. Fortunately, Germany was well prepared. After being beaten by Bavarian tanks in the first exercise, the Prussian military had already faced the anti-armor problem. Because the starting point of Bavarian tanks was relatively high, the Prussian military also had a higher anti-tank starting point. They directly took the navy's 50mm cannon and changed it. This thing is powerful enough to face British and French tanks, it is light in weight, and it is also cost-effective. Anyway, at least until now, British and French tanks have not exceeded the upper limit that this weapon can cope with.

"Everyone, let's get to know your new companions. I believe that in future battles, you will definitely fall in love with this tank. In fact, I think it should not be called a wolf. He should be a brown bear and an invincible existence on the ground." A technician from the manufacturer began to introduce this tank.

"Maybe it's because this thing is as bulky as a bear." A German soldier below whispered.

"Then, it's great. There are about a dozen cricket tanks on the Western Front every day. I hope that one day, you won't be a part of them. At the same time, there were only less than three hornet assault guns with damage. How to choose, as long as you have learned elementary school mathematics, you should be very clear." The technician said indifferently. "Anyway, we don't have to go to the battlefield."

Dongdong, the technician picked up a wrench and knocked on the heavy head tilted armor of the wolf tank. "The thickness of the armor on the front of this tank is 60mm and tilted 45 degrees. What does this mean? I can say that no matter whether it is the French 75mm rapid-fire gun or the British 18-pound gun, it cannot be imagined to penetrate the front armor of the tank 100 meters away."

"Although the lower armor has been weakened a little, it also has a 45mm tilt of 45 degrees. Although it cannot be completely immune to the 75mm artillery, considering the ground covering and the smaller projection area, the defense of this area is also reliable."

"Although the front of the turret is used this time, the thickness of the front is 75mm and has a certain inclination angle, which is enough to face the medium caliber rapid-fire gun. Therefore, the front of this tank can almost resist more than 80% of the anti-tank weapons you can encounter at present."

"Then the side, well, the side defense may still be penetrated by British and French rapid-fire cannons, but we have tried our best to optimize the defense structure. We have strengthened the side armor on the front of the body that is most vulnerable to attack, with a thickness of 45mm. The cross-section of the body is also a trapezoid. The angle can be used to better protect against bullets. According to our research, under normal combat conditions, the side defense may be better than the first down defense."

"Of course, as for the side and rear part of the car body and the rear part of the car body, the thickness is very limited, only 20mm to 30mm, which can shoot low-end shrapnel and small-caliber weapons. There is no way, if you want full protection, the weight is too expensive." said the technician.

"Although this tank weighs as high as 24 tons, it has no improvement compared to crickets in terms of maximum road and off-road speed, I can say with the responsibility that the output of the new Maybach V8 HL80 diesel engine up to 160 horsepower can completely give this tank a maneuverability no less than that of crickets. And its stability is one level higher! The interval between road overhauls has increased by at least 50%, and the interval between off-road overhauls has also increased by more than 30%. So, congratulations to you armored soldiers, your maintenance burden has finally been reduced a little."

"By the way, the comfort of this tank has also been improved, because it uses a brand new torsion bar suspension, and the tank will be relatively stable during off-road, so as to compensate for the compact space." The space of the new tank is definitely not spacious, and where is the weight? Armor, newly replaced engines and transmissions account for a large part. There is also a 75mml35 rapid-fire gun, plus a normal ammunition volume of about 40 rounds, which squeezes the entire tank a bit too much. Therefore, when choosing to change troops, the average height is also one of the reference factors...

By the way, there is also the internal layout of the tank. It is still the rear of the engine and gearbox in later generations. The ammunition is stacked separately in three places, the front of the car body, the floor of the car body, and the pod at the rear of the huge turret. The biggest feature of this layout is to minimize the possibility of shells slaughtering. Although the front of the car body is the place with the highest probability of being shot, it is also the place with the best defense. If you want to say whether the French cannon can penetrate the 105m-yard cannon? Of course, it is OK, but if it is really penetrated, I am afraid that whether there are shells will be the result of the chariot going to the sky... For example, if the t34 was hit by the 88 anti-aircraft cannon, is it important to ignite the ammunition? Of course it doesn't matter! Anyway, hitting it means death...

If you put the shells in the back, then, is it really trustworthy to the 20mm to 30mm iron sheet on the side? So, when the front armor is reliable enough, the front is the king. As for putting the shells on the floor, it is a bit difficult to get it, but here is the lowest probability of being shot. As for the pod at the tail of the artillery, the shot rate is not high. In addition, because the size is small, additional protection can be added, such as hanging two layers of track plates...

Therefore, these designs are the test of skills. The tank space is so large, how do you arrange it? Thinking of this, the prince mercilessly despised the tiger of history in his heart, because the shells of this guy were placed next to the body of the car. Although the 80mm side armor was strong enough when it was in service at that time, it soon stopped working. Moreover, because the placement of shells on the side directly affected the size of the gun ring, it was difficult to get on a larger turret. Otherwise, to be honest, a tank of more than 50 tons would be 88l56, which really felt like a big car resisting small cannons. Look at the later Pan Datou (m26) and the Russian Is-2. In the eyes of the prince, a super amateur army party, it is just that the tank's turret is bigger, such as Pan Datou, such as Big Head T34, etc.

By the way, the last thing I want to say is the 75mml35 gun. If it is the Prussian version, it is the 77mml35 gun. This gun is really nothing to say. It is a cannon that can be made by all countries. However, it is also the largest caliber cannon that can be placed on tanks. It is very powerful. At least in the prince's opinion, as long as Britain and France are rational, it is unlikely to build a tank that can block this gun. After all, designing this thing is really important, and there is no reason to suck it. For example, the British Navy gave up Nelson's tilted armor and used vertical armor when building Joe Wu.
