What is the most important thing for armor-piercing bullets? Of course it is speed! Only with speed can there be energy. In the process of penetrating the armor, the kinetic energy is continuously reduced. The storage speed of the shell is very important. 35xs

At the same time, another aspect is also very important, that is the diameter of the warhead.

Under the same energy, it is definitely easier to tear a small hole than a large hole. Therefore, with this idea, Krupp engineers began to study how to make tank shells thinner.

This result is a sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile.

As the name suggests, the secondary caliber means that the caliber is smaller. This shell is equivalent to a sandwich structure.

The outer warhead is a traditional caliber warhead, which accounts for about 60% of the entire armor-piercing projectile. It has a sharper inner warhead inside. This diameter is much smaller than the diameter of the shell, called a sub-caliber warhead.

When firing, the shells were fired just like ordinary shells. After hitting the tank armor, the warhead was shaken, and the back of the sub-diameter warhead was filled with inert gunpowder, and the warhead inside was fired.

In this way, the outer steel warhead only penetrates armor, and the inner tungsten alloy sub-caliber warhead is also piercing armor. Even if the outer warhead cannot penetrate, the inner warhead has a smaller diameter and is easier to penetrate. This penetration depth , A new improvement. 35xs

"We have now completed the development of the 75mm sub-caliber artillery shell, which is more than 30% better than the existing ordinary armor-piercing shells." Alfred said.

The 88mm gun was not developed at the initial stage, because the performance of this gun is sufficient, and the main armor of any opponent's tank will be penetrated.

In the German equipment, there are also a large number of 75mm towed anti-tank guns, which will be the main German infantry anti-tank weapon in recent years. Therefore, the first thing to do now is to improve the performance of this anti-tank gun. , After all, the barrel of this gun is not long, and it is not as powerful as the 88 mm gun.

The performance increase of 30% is definitely a figure against the sky. Alfred is very confident.

In later generations, in the latter part of World War II, the technology of German sub-caliber armor-piercing projectiles has been developed and extended to all aspects. Compared with all the projectiles made of tungsten alloy, it is much cheaper and has better armor-piercing capabilities.

but…

Cyric frowned and said faintly: "I think this kind of shell has a lot of room for improvement. In other words, our armor-piercing projectile mainly relies on the sub-caliber core inside to penetrate the opponent. Armored, then, the heavy warhead outside is a burden."

Relying on the inner core to penetrate, the outer part occupies 60% of the weight. Isn't this a burden?

Hearing Cyric’s proposal, the Krupp experts present couldn’t help being shocked. How could they explain to the head of state?

The reason is very simple. The muzzle is so thick that it doesn't go up to the outside. How can it be kept tightly closed with the barrel? Is it possible for an anti-tank gun with a caliber of 75 mm to fire a core with a diameter of ten centimeters?

Cyric continued to state his point of view: "I think that all the outer parts can be removed, so that the warhead is thinner, the air resistance received is less, and the storage velocity in the air is high. At the same time, the same barrel With the energy of a lighter mass, a higher initial velocity can be obtained with a lighter warhead. For anti-tank guns, the higher the velocity of the shell, the better.

"So, how do we solve the problem of airtightness?" Alfred asked, because he knew that since Cyric mentioned that, there must be a way!

"It's simple. We add a stock with the same diameter as the muzzle at the back. Doesn't it solve the problem?" Cyric said: "When it flies away from the muzzle, let the stock fall off and only let the front Isn't it better to fly thin armor-piercing bullets?"

Suddenly, everyone opened their mouths, not bad! This is indeed a good idea, why didn't I think of it?

Head Cyric is really a genius!

"At the same time, I think that the slender projectile may roll during flight, so we can install a tail fin on the tail of the projectile for stability." Cyric continued.

These, of course, were not invented by Cyric, this was originally a stable armor-piercing projectile for the tail wing that is common in later generations!

The armor-piercing projectile body is sandwiched by a light-weight bullet carrier. The caliber of the bullet carrier is the same as that of the cannon. The armor-piercing bullet is made into a slender rod shape. The tube points to continue flying, which is the origin of the term "unpacking".

At the same time, in order to ensure the stability and accuracy of the slender projectile during flight, when the armor-piercing projectile is manufactured, four tail fins are installed on the tail, arranged in a cross shape, so it is called "tail wing stability".

The only difference is that smoothbore guns are common in later generations, and the tail is used to maintain stability, because this type of shell does not rotate when flying out, but now it is common to use rifled guns, and the tail is still required. This is British experience.

Because this kind of thing was actually invented by the British. In the late World War II, the British developed this new type of ammunition and successfully used it on the 17-pound anti-tank gun.

Ordinary hollow charge capped armor-piercing projectiles can penetrate 130 mm of armor at 500 meters, but after using the shelling armor-piercing projectile, the penetration depth under the same circumstances reached an astonishing 204 mm! It is definitely an existence against the sky!

Now that the United Kingdom has been conquered, there is no need to worry about this kind of anti-sky-level armor-piercing ammunition. Germany's research on this new ammunition is still used as a technical reserve, and new technologies have many unknown risks.

For example, although the British in history had this type of shelling armor-piercing projectile, it had low accuracy, large spread, and a small number, so there were not many practical applications. However, Germany will certainly encounter many problems if it wants to study.

This sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile has matured, and the next step is to develop more excellent shelling armor-piercing projectiles!

"In addition to armor-piercing bullets, we are still studying armor protection." Alfred continued: "Now, we are studying ceramic materials, sandwiched between two layers of armor, hoping to improve armor protection."

Germany has the best armored steel, and has developed a mouse tank weighing nearly 200 tons. However, the final orthodoxy is still the king of composite armor, and this thing depends on industrial accumulation and some luck.

German scientific researchers are actively researching new technologies. At the same time, in the factory, Tiger tanks have finally begun to enter the production stage in large quantities according to the finalized plan.

On the battlefields of North Africa, fierce fighting remains.
