The model of the No. 4 tank was only 18 tons, and the front armor thickness was only 30mm. It was a straight plate, and with a 75mml24 cannon, the combat power was definitely problematic. The problem of insufficient power of the artillery existed when dealing with the French. After arriving at the Eastern Front, facing the T34 tank, the combat power of the No. 4 tank was decisive and unreasonable, so various improvements were started, increasing the body of the vehicle, increasing the armor and firepower. Finally, the G-type of the No. 4 finally increased the weight to the 25-ton level. Relying on the performance of the 75mml48 cannon, it can suppress t34-76. But it is not as good as t34-85.

But at this point, the chassis potential of the No. 4 tank has been exhausted! The chassis of the t34 is relatively good, so it can build tanks like t34-85. The American Sherman chassis is also good, and the improvement is more thorough. For example, the Sherman tank at the beginning used a 75mm short-barrel cannon, which was used in Africa. After arriving at Normandy, the Americans found that the firepower was insufficient and directly used it on the long-barrel 76 cannon. The British Sherman was called a firefly after being equipped with a 17-pound cannon. The latter's firepower was even stronger than the leopard's 75mml70 cannon.

Moreover, Sherman's defense is also very good. In terms of the front defense of the vehicle body, this tank started with 51mm inclined 56 degrees, and then in the later stage, the front armor of the Dumbo tank became 101mm inclined 47 degrees. It also has a 152mm turret and 178mm cannon shield. This defense is already very abnormal. The total combat weight of the Sherman tank has also increased to 38 tons!

It can be said that compared with German tanks, the United States and Russia have better choices for medium tank chassis, allowing T34 and Sherman tanks to have better room for improvement. At the same time, this tonnage is also convenient for two games. Overall, if the conditions for the second battle are the best, the 30-ton chassis is the best, while the chassis of No. 4 is a little smaller. As for the level of tigers and leopards? This is OK to make a heavy tank, but if it is used as a medium tank, there will definitely be a problem with the output!

When choosing the right chassis, with the production capacity of the United States and the Soviet Union and the poor mobilization ability of Germany, the rest is A. The huge gap in industrial capacity makes the Americans and the Soviets die even with medium tanks. The number of heavy tanks and tank destroyers of the Germans is too small. Think about it, how many times did the IS series heavy tanks and German beasts fight with the German beasts in history? The 122mm cannon used later used to deal with bunkers is still more than when dealing with German heavy tanks!

If you analyze and compare the tonnage composition of Russian armored units, 2m and is3 are actually a bit small. Although there are good paper data, the human-machine effect is too scammed. For example, the turret space, the turret space of IS3 is 2.4 cubic meters. It is even smaller than the 2.5 cubic meters of t34/85. Don’t forget that is3 has to be loaded with 122mm in such a small space! In such an operating environment, it would be strange if the fire speed is fast! Although it is definitely not like the Tiger King who can directly create a 4.5 cubic meters of turret space. But it must be moderate!

What? You said that the Black Panther's turret space is not large but only 2.1 cubic meters. But the car body space is large, the Black Panther body space is 15 cubic meters. And the t34-85 is only 10.4 cubic meters...

As for various self-propelled artillery, the Su100 is actually the most suitable anti-armor weapon in Russia. Moderate defense, lighter weight and better versatility are Russia's last self-propelled anti-tank gun in history. But for Germany, it is still a little worse. The 75mm tilt of 45 degrees is still not reliable. The 32 rounds of ammunition reserves are a little smaller for Germany. According to Germany's industrial capacity in this plane, even if it is amplified to 38 tons, it can be mass-produced, but the defense and ammunition harvested are huge. As for Su152, these heavy howitzers with slow firing speed are better to hit bunkers!

How did Ruprecht comment on the armored forces of the Americans in history? It can almost be understood as the m4 tank conquers the world. At the same time, in order to deal with the later tigers and leopards, a group of thin-skinned, convertible, and tracked tank destroyers such as m10, m18, and m36 were temporarily modified. Thanks to the performance of the long-barrel 76mm guns and 90 guns, their firepower is still good and their mobility is also good, but the body is too fragile. But it doesn’t matter. The United States has a large output and the German tanks are small. With the huge national strength advantage, it doesn’t matter!

However, in this plane, Germany and Austria's comprehensive national strength have increased greatly, and the government's execution efficiency will also be greatly improved. In addition, with the plug-in of Ruprecht, the design, production capacity and performance of the armored units will undoubtedly be much stronger than in history. In history, the crushing national strength advantages of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union no longer exist. Then the rest depends on which side's design is better and the arrangement is more reasonable.

From the Russian perspective, they had done a very good job in wartime. The Russians could not choose super long-barreled artillery like the Germans. The 34 tank was equipped with 57mm gun armor pierced, but the production was difficult and the lifespan was short. Why did the Russians snatch space in the I-tank series? The reason is very simple. Russia's industrial system is not suitable for producing heavier tanks.

The 46-ton level is almost overwhelming. If you improve it, there will be problems in terms of performance, stability and production capacity. This is a limitation of national strength, and there is no way. Moreover, considering that Russia's overseas supply in this plane will not be so smooth, Russia's idea of ​​relying on foreign aid should be forgotten. This is unstable!

As for Americans? Americans do not lack technology and industry. But compared with Germany in this plane, what they lack most is brainstorm! In other words, the United States has not yet considered how to face Germany in the future! and how to deal with the German Army! The current plan for the establishment of the US Army is entirely focused on dealing with the Japanese Army, and from the current state, this plan will continue until the outbreak of the next war......

What? You ask the reason? The reason is very simple. This time the United States will definitely not drive Japan out of the Dutch East India region. The reason is very simple, because all other powerful countries except the United States do not want to see this... On this issue, the United States is unable to get along with the world!

So, what will happen in the future? On some relatively large islands, such as Kalimantan and Guinea, the front teeth will be intertwined in the United States and Japan! Therefore, in the future, one of the important tasks of the US Army is how to confront the Dutch East India and the Japanese Army thousands of miles away!
