Tanks of World War II, the largest tank in the world of World War II

...First, World War II tanks were not air-conditioned, and they were very hot, and noisy, and if they were not combat, armored corps generally opened the hatches to breathe.

Second, the inside of the tank has a narrow view from the outside, and if it is not a combat vehicle, the commander usually opens the hatch.

And if you're ambushed, you're just unlucky, and even if you stay in the tank and don't open the hatch, you're ambushed.

And if a World War II tank is hit in the side by a single shot, it's not just the commander who is supposed to die, it's estimated that the entire crew is hanging.

German commanders generally don't wear big-brimmed hats, only officers are issued big-brimmed hats, and they are issued field big-brimmed hats, which are kind of soft, not the hard, big-brimmed hats that you usually wear.

The field hat with a large brim makes it easy to wear headphones and the like.

Most of the time, German panzers wore field caps or boat-shaped caps.

The view from the outside of the car is far greater than the view from the inside... And at that time there was no such thing as a roadside tank rushing out... In those days, tanks 2 km away could be heard.

Brother, you said that "suddenly the tank rushed out of the roadside", this eighty percent is an ambush.

Tank combat. The first is the joint operation of infantry and tanks, with infantry covering tanks and tanks supporting infantry firepower. The second is tank cluster operations, that is, armored forces are concentrated in a big assault. Third, some tank detachments are engaged in combat, such as reconnaissance of the enemy's situation, delaying the enemy's march, ambushing and attacking, and so on.

Is it a hassle to bring a hat? You see that the Brothers have been in the Brothers for so long, what do you think of the Allied gang? There were a few of those who took off their hats in command.

First of all, the view inside the tank is extremely limited, and the commander will only retreat into the car and close the hatch when he is in close proximity. Secondly, the commander is the soul of a tank, he is responsible for directing the battle of the whole vehicle, determining the route of travel, tactical reconnaissance, target designation, etc., so a good vision and practical observation tools are essential. The commander needs to constantly observe and update his understanding of the changes in his surroundings.

In this way, not only telescopes, but also in special cases, artillery mirrors are used for observation. Of course, this is done with the assurance of safety.

The military cap is a symbol of rank, of course, the German army also widely distributed armored boat-shaped caps, and some assault artillery groups even wore steel helmets to fight in armored vehicles.

TankAs the king of land warfare, do you know anything about tanks, let me introduce you to the tanks of World War II.

The heaviest tank

The "Rat" tank is a heavy tank made in Germany during World War II, which is the heaviest tank in the world, with a total weight of 188 tons, a length, a width and a height. However, the Rat and other planned tanks were not put into service on the battlefield before the end of World War II.

The "Rat" is an interesting design product, but due to its poor maneuverability and huge weight, it is destined to lack combat value, and it is better to use it as a mobile pillbox than as a super tank. A fully assembled "Mouse" was brought back to the country by the Soviet army and tested in Kubinka in 1951 52, which was made up of a combination of the turret of the V2 car and the hull of the V1 car. It is still on display in the Museum of Armored Forces in Kubinka, near Moscow, the capital of Russia.

WWII other tanks

TOP1: Model PZKPFWV Tiger E (also known as No. 6, the famous "Tiger" tank), built in Germany.

The tanks made by the Germans are very beautiful in shape, the craftsmanship is very sophisticated, and the Soviet tanks are shoddy and difficult to surpass the German tanks in the production process. The Tiger tank is one of the most representative works of German tanks of World War II. It has a crew of 5 people, weighs 57 tons, and belongs to heavy tanks (generally more than 40 tons are called heavy tanks).

TOP2: Model IS-2 (1944) or IS-2M (also known as Stalin 2), built in: Soviet Union.

A heavy tank specially developed by the USSR to combat the Tiger tank. It embodies the style of Soviet tank design, simple and practical, its weight tons.

TOP3: Model T-34-85 (1944), built in: Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union won World War II thanks to the "T-34". So which model of "T-34" is it? The T-34-85 (1944), which began production in March 1944, was in third place.

Its weight reached 32 tons, this was a medium tank, a total of 17680 units were produced.

TOP4: Model PZKPFWV G Type Panther (also known as No. 5 or Jaguar), built in Germany. The finest medium tank (heavy tonnage, which can actually be called a heavy tank) designed and manufactured by Germany in the Second World War produced a total of 3126 units.

TOP5: M26 (also known as "Pershing Tank" or "T26E3") Country: United States.

It was the last heavy tank to appear in World War II, and a total of 1,436 units were produced, and it has an important place in the history of tank development in the United States. In World War II, the American and British tanks could not compete with the superior tanks of Germany and the Soviet Union, and the allies relied more on aerial bombardment to make up for the lack of tank performance. Therefore, the United States designed and produced the Pershing heavy tank.

It weighed up to tons and had a crew of 5 people.

The absolute first is the Tiger tank and its Tiger King and Black Panther are very powerful World War II tanks were dominated by Germany and the Soviet Union at that time German Tiger tanks appeared on the Soviet-German battlefield The most famous Battle of Kursk With the most famous T34 and Stalin KV1 tanks of the Soviet Union, it had no chance to beat it He was armed with an 88 mm long-barreled gun, and his armor-piercing ability was that none of the Allied and Soviet guns at that time were more deadly than its front armor, which you can't imagine, was simply deadly, reaching 100 mm At that time, the Allies and the Soviets did not have a single tank gun that could penetrate it.

The King Tiger is a tiger, yes, it's a change of armor, it's even more terrifying, it's 120 mm, it's a double-tubed cannon, it's a surprisingly high shell velocity, it's a battlefield monster, and it's said that you can scare the Allied soldiers away if you draw a King Tiger tank on the wall in the right environment.

You can imagine how much psychological blow it was, and it is said that 2 Tiger Kings wiped out more than 50 T34s Think about what the concept is.

In the case of the Leopard tank, its most lethal model is the Black Cheetah, referred to as the Black Panther G, with 94 mm front armor, a 79 mm gun that is enough to tear the M4 T34 to shreds, and good maneuverability makes it more terrifying than the Tiger in some environments.

The performance of these 3 tanks is the best that the Soviets and the Allies can't match.

And then there is the World War II German tanks are good, but you want to fight the chivalry of the single car is impossible, the Allies and the Soviet army just don't fight with you, they just want to overwhelm you with the number you can't think of, it's to fight with you, the best example is the M4 and T34, the number of them can't be said, which verifies 1 statement, quantity itself is a quality, I will crush you with n more tanks.

The tank with the best overall performance was the German Panther G, while the most cost-effective tank was the Soviet T34-85 tank. These two tanks have good mobility, high versatility of parts, and strong firepower, and are the absolute main tanks of both sides. The strongest tanks are the German Mouse and E100 tanks, both of which have extremely thick armor and extremely strong firepower, but they are extremely poor in terms of mobility and passability, and can hardly maneuver in combat, so they have little value.

On the contrary, the Soviet Stalin's series tanks are all tanks with excellent mobility and firepower, and their numbers are far better than those of German tanks of the same level, so they have played a relatively large value. World War II Germany and the Soviet Union are the two countries with the best development of tanks, among which Germany's Tiger tank is a legend, the armor of the Tiger tank is the best metal manufacturing in Germany, although the front is only 100 to 110 mm, but it is actually equivalent to about 150 mm of the Soviet standard, so although Stalin 1 and 2 can theoretically penetrate the front of the Tiger tank, they often cannot penetrate it. In addition, the task of the Tiger tank is mainly fire support rather than first-line tanks, so the loss rate is small and the results are excellent.

At the end of the war, the Soviet Union developed a new type of main tank represented by the Stalin 3 tank and the T54 tank, which was no match at that time, so it was invincible in the world.

It was definitely the Tiger type, and the Germans lost because of a numerical inferiority. Then there is the Black Panther Black Panther II. The Soviet Stalin's tank, equipped with a 122mm gun, was Germany's nemesis.

The strongest is the German Tiger tank, but what's the use of that. Germany still failed.
