Chapter 72: 30 versus 3000, the advantage is on the Tiger?
Huo Qubing also said:
"The T34 is excellent, and the Soviet Union also appears to be a great armored power."
"However, the title of the king of tanks can only belong to the Germans."
It wasn’t just the ancients who had doubts.
Many modern viewers also expressed their disagreement in the comments.
"The T34 only has 45mm armor and 76mm gun. Can it compare to the Tiger and Panther?"
"The Tiger King commands the heroes, who can compete with him if the Rat Style doesn't come out?"
"That's right, the King Tiger stood there and let the broken T34 fire three shots first, and it was fine!"
"How dare you call it the king of tanks with this data? UP host Su Chui is exaggerating!"
Canopy.
[In addition to superior firepower and armor protection capabilities. ]
[The power system of the T34 tank is also very powerful. ]
[The designer specially developed a twelve-cylinder 39-liter diesel engine with a power of up to horsepower! ]
[The maximum highway speed is 55 kilometers per hour.]
[Such a powerful engine has a compact layout, which can save a lot of space in the tank. ]
【And it is very fuel-efficient! 】
[With two external reserve fuel tanks, the T34 tank can travel up to 540 kilometers.]
[The German main battle tank of the same period had a maximum range of only 160 kilometers. ]
[The Tiger tank could only run 100 kilometers before having to refuel. ]
[The Soviet Union was originally rich in oil, while the German army had always been short of oil, so this advantage was huge.]
[In addition, the T34 tank uses a diesel engine and cannot be ignited by ordinary flames at room temperature.]
[When on the battlefield, it can effectively resist various flame threats such as Molotov cocktails, greatly enhancing battlefield reliability. ]
[The off-road performance of the T34 has also been greatly enhanced. ]
[Compared to the German tanks, the tracks were only 30 centimeters wide. ]
[The T34 tank, which is nearly centimeters wide, can run freely in the wilderness, especially on the snow! ]
[Adapt to the muddy land and the rotten land in Russia. 】
[This tank, which can adapt to the snow in Eastern Europe in winter, is also called the King of Snow! ]
[After the T34 prototype was produced, its designer drove two T34s all the way from Kharkov to Moscow! ]
[The continuous march of 2,000 kilometers without any breakdown has proved to the world an ironclad fact! ]
[That is the T34, a tank with extremely reliable performance! ]
【It will never be a logistical nightmare.】
[As soon as the T34 tank was launched, it was praised for its perfect combination of the tank's magic triangle.]
[That is, speed, armor, and weapons have all reached a very balanced level, with no obvious shortcomings but many advantages. ]
See here.
The ancients also further recognized the strength of the T34 tank.
Not only the armored artillery was second to none at the time.
Including the power system and adaptability, everything is very advanced.
Although it may not be able to defeat the Tiger King Tiger in a head-on battle, its overall performance is indeed outstanding.
I really like tanks.
I especially like German tanks and the commander Huo Qubing who fought blitzkrieg.
After reading the introduction about the T34 tank, I have to admit it.
"It seems that this T34 tank is indeed very powerful."
"Sometimes, we can't just look at the offensive and defensive strength of a tank, but also have to consider its various indicators comprehensively."
"Perhaps this is why the T34 tank is called the king of tanks?"
Ancient people such as Huo Qubing gradually understood why the T34 tank was called the king of tanks.
But what was just described on the sky screen is only a small part of the reason. [It can be seen that the various indicators of the T34 tank are very balanced, and it is a very excellent tank.
[When it first appeared, the T34 tank gave the German army a little shock as the king of tanks. ]
[Almost any field anti-tank firepower of the German army at that time could not effectively kill the T34 tank. ]
[Even the more advanced Type 34 and Type tanks were no match for the T on the Soviet-German battlefield.]
[Not to mention most of the light tanks like the Type 35, Type 38, T, and T. ]
[Not qualified to fight against T34! ]
[For a while, the German front line couldn't find any tank that could compete with the T34! ]
[This then triggered the famous T34 crisis. ]
[Even in the middle and late stages of World War II, the T34's hard power was still somewhat inferior to those tanks developed later.]
[But it can still adapt to almost any battlefield. ]
[The above content shows that the T34 is a tank with very balanced performance. ]
[But what really made the T34 the most successful tank in the history of war and the king of tanks in World War II. 】
[It is not the performance of T34. ]
The ancients were puzzled when they heard this.
The overall performance of T34 is perfect, but isn’t this superior performance the reason why it became the king of tanks?
what is that?
The sky revealed the answer.
[Its terrifying production capacity! ]
[During World War II, the total number of T34 and tanks and armored vehicles produced based on the T34 prototype was close to ! ]
[It far exceeds the powerful tanks such as the German Tiger and Panther, the total number of which is less than 10,000. ]
[Even more than all the tanks produced by the German army during the entire World War II! ]
[What about the Tiger? What about the Panther? ]
[In the face of the overwhelming numerical superiority of the T34 tanks. ]
[No match at all! ]
[Of course, some people will question that the number of T34 tanks is too large. ]
[That’s because the Soviet Union has a vast territory and abundant resources, and strong industrial production capacity. ]
【That was a reason, but not the main reason.】
[As far as tanks are concerned, the T34 requires too few hours to produce! There are too few steps to produce it! The difficulty of its construction and production is too low! ]
【It is naturally suitable for large-scale industrial production. 】
[The minimum number of man-hours required to produce a T34 tank can even be as low as man-hours. ]
[And no skilled workers are required. ]
[Women, children, the elderly, and disabled veterans in the rear can then produce efficiently. ]
[During the Battle of Stalingrad, the T34 tanks produced by the tractor factory could even provide artillery support to the front line while being produced.]
[Once completed, drive out of the factory and walk a few hundred meters forward to join the battle. ]
[In comparison, the German Tiger tank required 30 man-hours! ]
[Compared to this, it is only natural that the German army's elite and powerful tanks would be overwhelmed by the Soviet army's tank flood. ]
[The T34 tank has both firepower, defense, speed and endurance, and is easy to produce and low in cost. ]
[It also crushed all its opponents with its unparalleled superiority! ]
[This is why the T34 tank will become the king of tanks in World War II! ]
The video introducing the T34 tank on the sky screen ended.
From this video, the ancients not only understood why the T34 was the king of tanks.
It also gave me some ideas about the production ideas of the entire country.
Yang Guang had an epiphany!
So what if German tanks are powerful?
Isn't it still submerged by the T34 sea?
This is the revelation that Tianmu gives to me!
Yang Guang stood up.
Coldly but firmly said:
"Gentlemen, I like quantity!"
