The Rise of the Empire

It is foreseeable that when the 20mm machine gun cannot come out. (The treaty does not allow it.) Germany has very little choice in the future of small-caliber anti-aircraft guns. Historically, the Germans had only one small-caliber anti-aircraft gun, which was the 37mm gun. As the war continued, the performance of aircraft continued to increase. After the improvement, the 40mm gun designed and produced by Bavaria will definitely replace the 37 gun with its excellent performance, and it will be the only medium-caliber anti-aircraft gun of the German armed forces! This is the only one! Not only the army needs to use it, but also the navy and air force! If the pressure in the air on this plane increases, then every battleship will have to come to more than a dozen doors... . \u003c/p\u003e Before deciding to design and develop the 40mm gun, the prince also compared the German 50mm gun with the British 47mm gun, and considered the performance of these similar caliber guns. The latter warhead weight is generally around 3 pounds. The overall weight of the shell is generally about 3kg. The shells are much larger, and their power must have been improved. The increase in weight is not large, generally around 280 to 300kg. This is the advantage of the latter. \u003c/p\u003eBut the biggest problem with these artillery is that they cannot fire continuously! The 40mm gun was almost the limit of rapid fire before the Second World War. The contemporary 40mm gun used spring plates to feed the bombs, and could reach a theoretical rate of fire of 200 rounds per minute. Both the German 50mm gun and the British 47mm gun can only be fed with a single shot, and the theoretical rate of fire of the gun is reduced to about 10 to 20 rounds. Among other things, the air defense of this kind of artillery is definitely not as good as the 40mm gun! \u003c/p\u003eAs for the use of the army, this kind of artillery is actually not as good as the 40 cannon. Of course, the single-shot power of the 50 and 47 cannons has increased, but when facing soft targets, the projection of the 40mm cannon is much higher. For 50mm guns, when you hit infantry, carriages, and light bunkers, the power of 50mm guns and 47mm guns is superfluous. As for the reinforced heavy bunker, the 50mm cannon of this thing is also difficult to penetrate, so go directly to the Wasp assault gun, 75mm sprint and cut it off, if it still doesn't work, use a heavy mortar... \u003c/p\u003eIf you want to use anti-tank, the 40mm gun is almost enough. If everything follows the history, then there is no tank in Britain and France that can resist the 40mm gun. Using the high rate of fire of the 40mm gun, the damage efficiency will be better good. After all, the so-called first-shot hit rate of artillery in this era is very low. Basically, it can only be hit after correcting the correction. The 40 cannon pulls the trigger, and the second shot can be fired quickly, while the 50mm cannon and The reload time of the 47 gun is a flaw. \u003c/p\u003e"If this kind of artillery is installed on a tank, will it be more suitable than the 50mm gun?" On a chance occasion, Viscount Schmidt reflected that the original 50mm gun equipped with the tank was considered too tasteless, and the The very important reason is that it is not very effective against infantry and small point targets. \u003c/p\u003e"I wipe!" Did you make a mistake? The prince instantly felt a little better. Why does a tank have to suppress infantry and small targets? But looking back, what Schmidt said is indeed reasonable. The main target of your chariot on the Eastern Front is not infantry and machine gun nests, so what could it be? \u003c/p\u003e"Even with machine guns for corrective shooting, it is still difficult for 50mm artillery to hit extremely small machine gun nests or mortar positions. Relatively speaking, during our experiments, we found that using 37 guns can achieve higher Cover the target faster. The only problem is that the single-shot lethality and penetration of the 37 guns are very problematic. So the experimental team means to equip a weapon that can fire continuously, but its power is greatly improved compared to the 37 guns. " Schmidt explained. \u003c/p\u003e Then Schmidt took a wooden model of a 2-pound gun to the Iron Castle Experimental Factory. Then they sadly discovered that the volume occupied by the 2-pound gun plus the ammunition plate next to it was too large.

Although it is not impossible to force it down, but the prince strives to reduce the overall weight of the car, so the whole replacement plan is on the verge of failure. \u003c/p\u003e"Actually, you can try this. Don't let the cannon be in the center, move the cannon to the side, so the space will be free?" The layout of the artillery, since the artillery is too large compared to the turret (or the car body), let’s test it on the side, and then shorten the springboard, 14 rounds are too long, and 7 rounds are too long, so just 4 rounds Got it! \u003c/p\u003eThe small body of the Stalker can hold a 75mm tank gun and has good frontal defense and mobility. It is completely classic in terms of design. The design of the gun slightly off the center line makes this company A chariot with less than 18 tons has a strong enough hard target. Besides, even a td can mount the artillery on the side, and a tank has a turret that can rotate, so what are you afraid of? \u003c/p\u003eSo, under the full promotion of the prince, the development and equipment of the new 2-pound gun was pushed to the agenda. In the future, all armored vehicles equipped with rapid-fire guns will be equipped with this artillery, and this artillery will also It will serve as the anti-aircraft artillery of the Bavarian Army. As for the anti-aircraft artillery of the navy? This is a bit early, after all, the German central government does not believe that aircraft can pose a threat to the fleet. \u003c/p\u003eAirplanes have indeed never posed a major threat to the fleet in history, but under the influence of the traversers, the prince cannot guarantee that the British on this plane will not launch torpedo planes to attack the fleet. At the end of World War 1, torpedo planes had already come out, but there was no chance to show their skills. Although there must be many problems once it is put into battle, who knows what will happen when facing a battleship that also has no experience in emptying? A battleship with tens of millions of marks can't be easily involved in an accident! \u003c/p\u003eThis matter will come to an end soon, because whether it is equipped with an m2 machine gun or a 2-pound artillery, these things are all tactical. As a chess player at the national level, it is naturally impossible for Ruprecht to focus on these aspects. Compared to the next thing, the previous thing is not worth mentioning at all! \u003c/p\u003e "His Royal Highness, Prince Heinrich accepted our invitation and agreed to visit our new products at the Brom-Fors Shipyard." Earl Schelling said. \u003c/p\u003e"Very well, arrange the itinerary, and I will go to the shipyard myself!" the prince ordered. \u003c/p\u003e "Is our baby shark ready?" the prince thought for a while and asked. \u003c/p\u003e"As you wish, with the help of Mr. Holland, our submarine has completed 3 unmanned dives, and we will conduct manned dives tomorrow. We will conduct 3 dives before you and His Royal Highness arrive. The experiment and the surface navigation experiment have also been carried out for three days, and the current situation is very good, the only problem is that there is something wrong with the baldhead fish imported from Italy, and the fuze is not so easy to use." Earl Schelling said. \u003c/p\u003e"Well, let the technicians solve the problem faster. If the shipyard needs to deploy additional personnel, it can be transferred directly. This is the most important thing at present. Everything else can be postponed." The prince said. \u003c/p\u003eThanks to the book friends of the First Guards Tank Brigade, Slowly Touring K, Fat Niu King, Sea Boundary, South Dabeika\u003c/a\u003e~~~!
