Steel Soviet Union

Being able to get your hands on such a large batch of Black Panther 2 is undoubtedly a good thing. It is exciting enough for any commander and fighter in the Red Army's front-line troops, even a "rich man" like Malashenko.

There is no other reason, it’s just because Black Panther 2 is really good enough that people can’t help but say: This stuff is such a sweet treasure.

Unlike other new German equipment in this timeline that was tampered with and changed beyond recognition, although Black Panther 2 has changed a lot, it can be said to be "unrecognizable" compared to previous generations of Black Panther. Not only has the armor been thickened and the protection enhanced, the body chassis has also been elongated to increase the volume of the power compartment to accommodate a new engine that is larger in size and more powerful, with an output of up to 800 horsepower.

But in essence, Black Panther 2 still does not break out of the "Panther" car group. Although the overall changes are large, they are not out of the circle. It can still be regarded as a model based on the improvement and enhancement of the old design.

At the same time, this also determines that most of the technologies, materials, and accessories used in Black Panther 2 are existing mature shelf products that have been tested in actual combat and have been improved by the Black Panther car owners until now, becoming more and more perfect. .

Another benefit brought by this is that except for the unstable engine of the initial production model, which often breaks down and breaks down, all other parts of the body of the Black Panther 2 can be said to be stable. After all, other than the thickening of the armor, there are no major changes elsewhere. At most, it is replaced with a new inter-vehicle communication radio station to support longer-distance field calls.

The extra weight brought by the added armor will not overwhelm the Black Panther 2. Although the extra horsepower units from replacing the new engine are not many, it can carry these extra tons of armor and keep the Black Panther 2's maneuverability as usual. Easy and no big problem.

In general, compared to the seemingly awesome but actually useless gadgets created by the Germans who used all kinds of new technologies and inventions, regardless of the objective reality, and just tried to get things done, Black Panther 2 is really good. It is a model product that combines new technology with old shelf products to maximize combat effectiveness without losing reliability. It is fully qualified to keep pace with the Grizzly Bear, which Malashenko also praised before.

The only slight regret is that the main gun of Black Panther 2 is still the 75mm long fishing rod, and there is no new gun to replace it.

This would be more troublesome to elaborate on, as it involves some future issues that were not fully considered during the original design of the Panther, such as the too narrow turret seat, which limited the Panther's body replacement with a larger seat diameter and the ability to The new turret can accommodate the larger main gun, while the old Black Panther's small head can accommodate a 75-meter-long fishing rod at its limit.

Further up, for example, if the length is changed to 88, the internal braking distance of the armor-enhanced F-type turret used in Black Panther 2 is not enough.

If it were to be replaced by a 88mm long one, when the main gun fired, the breech would hit the armored bulkhead at the rear of the turret, and the whole gun would be scrapped in an instant, and the shell casings might not even be spit out. It came out and got stuck in the rear of the gun. Without a new turret, unless the Germans hollowed out the back of the Black Panther 2's head and changed it into a convertible without armor, this would be able to accommodate a lower length of 88cm, but this is also an impossible "idiot change".

However, the fact that the firepower has not been enhanced is actually not a big problem. It is just that the lethality against non-armored targets, fortification bunkers and soft targets is a little weaker, and the amount of high-explosive ammunition under the caliber limit is indeed far from enough.

But if you want to talk about armor-piercing power, a 75mm long fishing rod is better than a nurse! The tiger-style short 88 is even more powerful, and there is no problem at all when the short 88 is pressed down by the deep penetration force.

Going one step further, if Black Panther 2 is in the hands of the Red Army, the lack of high-explosive bomb damage power will not actually be a problem.

Does the Red Army lack the lethality of your high-explosive bombs against unarmored targets?

Haha, don't take your German stick's lack of firepower as the same problem as the Red Army.

Let’s not talk about the various large and thick pipes above 100 mm that can open the mouth, but also the pipes below 100 mm. Small cars such as SU76 and SU85 are also everywhere. They are far richer than the assault guns that you don’t have enough. Much.

The stronger the armor-piercing capability of the Black Panther 2 is, the more it can actually make up for the shortcomings of the Red Army's tank units.

The 85 gun does have enough penetration, but it is far from excellent. At present, it can only effectively deal with the German No. 4 and the long-discontinued and rare Tiger. When encountering Black Panther, Black Panther 2 or King Tiger, there is a dilemma that most of the area of ​​the front projection cannot be effectively penetrated within the normal combat distance. On the contrary, there is a high probability that the opponent will be stunned by one shot.

The T34 series, which is still used by most of the Red Army tank units, is useless against these zoo monsters.

If there is Black Panther 2, it can at least defend against the opponent's attack with a high probability, and can also directly penetrate any car model below the King Tiger within a regular combat distance.

To put it bluntly, even for a division-level tank unit of the Red Army, this can definitely be regarded as a huge increase in combat effectiveness. Even for a special large-scale unit like the Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division, this is a rare and valuable combat force that can play a big role at critical times.

Malashenko kept wandering around these treasures. The more he thought about them, the more he felt that these "beauties" in front of him were so damn delicious, and he really wanted to take them for himself. He completely forgot about his current wife and parked the IS4 not far from the platform goods yard. He was really a scumbag and couldn't run away.

If weapons can really transform into women and come to life, that is if, if.

I'm afraid that the normally majestic comrade of the division commander has now been knocked unconscious by the IS4's 122-gun breech blow from the rampaging IS4. This is no joke.

That is to say, when we, Comrade Ma, were thinking about how to take all these beauties as our own, I want them all, when I walked around to the Black Panther 2, the last car in the third row, and just stopped, Malashen But Ke saw a familiar figure squatting on the power compartment at the rear of the car, tinkering with something.

"Iushkin!? What are you doing here? When did you come here???"

"Huh? Well, not long after I came here, probably less than five minutes, I heard that a bunch of German junk was found here, so I came over to take a look. Well, it should have been five minutes."

""

Malashenko didn't care when Iushkin arrived, but he was curious about the iron rod Iushkin was holding and the power cabin roof that had been opened under his feet. The question came out immediately.
