What does WWII German tank 2 3 4 mean?

The so-called No. 234 tank is just a model of the tank, which is equivalent to the first generation of tanks, and the second generation of tanks ......Let's take a brief look at Tank No. 4!

The concept of tank 4 was first proposed by Guderian in the early 1930s. In 1934-1935, Hitler ordered the companies Krupp, Rheinmetall-Borsig and MAN to design a new tank. With a total weight of 18 tons and a maximum speed of 35 km/h, the main ** is a 75mm gun.

All three companies built prototypes and tested them in full range in 1935-1936. The prototype of Rheinmetall-Polsik, the VK2001(RH), uses the improved travel system of the Neubaufahrzeug tank (an early prototype tank in Germany), while the VK2001(K) from Krupp and the VK2001(MAN) from MAK use the newly designed travel system of MAN. Man also designed a cross-design suspension system, but it was not applied to it.

In VK2001 (MAN), Krupp designed the turret and MAN designed the walking system. All prototypes had similar performance, but after extensive testing, the Krupp VK2001(K) was selected for mass production.

It is the order of development and equipment of tanks.

Objectives:

To accompany the "blitzkrieg", Guderian.

It is required to develop a mechanized force and develop a fast, small crew, simple structure, easy mass production, and in accordance with the Treaty of Versailles.

Panther. Gas-powered cars.

Weight Wheel Differences:

The A type on one side of the No. 3 tank has 5 medium-sized load wheels, and the BCD type belongs to 8 small load wheels, similar to the No. 4 tank, starting from the formal finalization and mass production of the E type, the No. 3 tank began to officially use 6 medium-sized load wheels, and the load wheels of the No. 3 tank are relatively large compared to the No. 4 tank.

On one side of tank No. 4 are 8 small load-bearing wheels with a spring-loaded suspension system, divided into 4 groups of firepower differences:

The No. 3 tank was upgraded from the earliest ABCD type 37mm KWK35 36 main gun, the E F type was a 37mm main gun in the early days, and later replaced with a 50mm KWK38 L 42 main gun, and the G H J type was later upgraded to a 50mm KWK39 L 60 main gun, and some modifications used 75mm KWK37 L 24 main gun, and the N type used a 75mm KWK40 L 24 main gun.

Tank IV used a 75mm KWK37 L 24 gun from the earliest ABCDE type, a 75mm KWK40 L 24 gun for the F1 type, a 75mm KWK40 L 43 gun for the F2 G type, and a 75mm KWK40 L 48 gun for the H J model.

Tank No. 5 is the Leopard Tank, which was a German tank used in World War II and was mainly used in the European theater from mid-1943 to 1945.

The Panzer (official name: Panzerkampfwagen V Panther 171), Chinese: Panzer Tank, Panther Tank) was a medium tank used by Germany in World War II, and it was mainly used in the European theater from mid-1943 to 1945.

It was originally intended to be used against the Soviet T-34 tank, and to replace the Mark and Mark tanks, and to fight alongside them and the Tiger until the end of the war. It was also recognized as the best tank of World War II and was ranked alongside the Soviet T-34 85. Some also claim that it was the forerunner of the main battle tank.

Until 1944 it was known as the Tank Five Leopard and was numbered SD. by the War Department kfz. 171。

On February 27, 1944, Hitler ordered it to be renamed the "Leopard Tank".

Tank V The Panzerkampfwagen V Panther was a German tank used in World War II and was mainly used in Europe from mid-1943 to 1945.

Tank No. 5, during World War II, German: Panzer, which is commonly known as the Leopard tank.

Tank No. 5 is the Panther.

1. PZKPFW VI Tank VI Tiger

2. E series tanks.

E-10 type: 10 light armored combat vehicles of 15T.

Type E-25:

Tanks III and IV and their successors to the destroyer vehicles.

E-50: The successor to the Panther medium tank.

E-75: The successor to the King Tiger Heavy tank.

E-100: A 140T super-heavy tank with better performance than the Mouse.

3. E-50 standard battle tank.

This series mainly includes E3, E5, E-10, E-25, E-50, E-75, E-100 and other models. Among them, the E3 and E5 are mainly used as light auxiliary vehicles, the E10-E75 is the main vehicle, and the E100 is a new model that can replace the Mouse Super Heavy Tank.

4. E-25 destroys combat vehicles.

5. PZKPFW II tank.

The Panzer II was a World War II tank of Nazi Germany, which was used to fill the gaps in other designs and played an important role in the battles of Poland and France in World War II. By the end of 1942, the vast majority of the No. 2 tanks had left the first line units, and the production line was discontinued by 1943, although the hull continued to be modified back to other types of armored vehicles.

6. Type C tank No. 1.

7. Type D tank No. 1.

8. pzkpfw vii tank No. 8 Rat-type (not mass-produced) The heaviest tank designed by Germany in World War II, and the record holder for the heaviest tank in the world so far. The Rat tank was not only designed but also reached the stage of production, with a total of two prototypes being produced.

Although the No. 5 and No. 6 tanks are famous all over the world, in the early days of World War II, the German attack on France mainly relied on the No. 2 and No. 3 tanks, and the No. 4 tanks almost swept across Europe, and the No. 5 and No. 6 tanks were mainly developed by the Soviet Union after the attack, and as for the No. 7 and No. 8 tanks, they can be completely ignored.

To put it simply, No. 2 and No. 3 are the initial main battle tanks, and No. 5 and No. 6 are late-stage tanks, but there are not many of them No. 5 and No. 6, and most of them have been converted into self-propelled guns.
