1942: C1942 Test Decision

C1942 Test Decision

"In order to adapt to your bridge and other limitations, this tank is designed to weigh 48 tons, and has a good balance in firepower, mobility and defense" Qin Guan began his introduction.2

The first indicator of a tank was self-importance. Everything started under this premise.

For example, tanks in the west could easily reach sixty to seventy tons. This kind of weight had quite a good defensive ability. At the same time, the space was also large enough, but this type of tank had very high requirements for the road. If some bridges are limited to 50 tons, then it can't be crossed. It would be a waste of time to need engineering soldiers to reinforce it.

From a global perspective, the weight of tanks was constantly increasing. After all, to Tankers, the sturdier the steel box was, the better. However, for tank designers, they had to maintain a balance.

To Sanctity Country, no more than 50 tons was the best. The current design was 48 tons, which was in case it was improved in the future and left behind 2 tons of excess. Qin Guan had considered all of this.

With this indicator, they could continue. For example, if the weight did not exceed 50 tons, then it would require six pairs of Load Wheel. Many western tanks had seven pairs of Load Wheel because they were too heavy. If the Load Wheel was not enough, then it would not be enough for the twisting rod to withstand too much force.

"Let's talk about its firepower first. This kind of 125mm tank gun... It can be the same model as the Azsharite Tank that I just mentioned. When you operate it, it can greatly reduce the difficulty of logistics supplies. " Qin Guan said. Even Qin Guan had just thought of this advantage. Originally, he planned to give the Type 59 Tank 105 mm cannon. This way, there would be more types of artillery shells. Now, they were all 125 mm cannons. The tank gun was exactly the same. This way, they could reduce logistical supplies. This was really an unexpected benefit.

Balajie nodded. "That's right. In the future, when our tanks reach 125 millimeters in diameter, the difficulty of logistics supplies will be much lower."

"Of course, this tank gun can also be used to use a semi-automatic Loader like the Azla tank we just talked about. At the same time, there were also the choice of automatic loading. It completely depended on the standard requirements. Our domestic tank's test results are very stable. However, in this high-temperature environment, it still needs to be re-tested. "

Qin Guan said and pointed at the round of cannonballs in the turret. Actually, this Khaled Tank originally used an automatic Loader. This was an imitation from the automatic Loader of the T-72 tank. However... Due to the advanced electronic technology in the country, the processing precision was also high. Therefore, the reliability of the prototype automatic Loader was solved. It could be said that... This kind of automatic Loader was already very mature.

As for how to choose, it was their problem. They were just providing these equipment.

"Let's talk about its power system. For a 48-ton tank, 1200 horsepower engine is enough. We have this kind of suitable engine in our country. At the same time, you can also use the method of buying the bidding. Find western engines to test, and we'll finally choose the most suitable one. " Qin Guan said.

The domestic tank engine was already very good. At least on the 80 tanks ordered in Coconut Jujube Country. It also used the domestic engine. However, to the brothers in Sanctity Country, Qin Guan was very generous and let them choose. In any case, they had a lot of options.

When they had ordered the warships, they had been able to get the LM2500 gas turbines from Y Country. Furthermore, they did not need to spend money. It was a complete military support. If they could get an engine from overseas that did not cost money, of course, it would be even better. They were only responsible for the integration.

When he heard Qin Guan say this, Balajie raised his own question. "Now, Bear Country and Y Country have started to manufacture gas turbines tanks. Is this engine better?"

The T-80 in Bear Country used the GTD-1250 gas turbine. The turbine was fixed at 3,300 per minute, with a maximum power of 9,20kW. The AGT-1,500 gas turbine used on the M1 tank in Y Country, with a turbine speed of 3000 per minute, maximum power of 119kW.

Both were three-axis gas turbines, which were very similar. However, the AGT-1500 had a medium cooling and heatback system in order to achieve higher energy utilization rate.

Since the technology in Y Country and Bear Country was the most advanced, their choice represented one direction. So, since they were going to start a new tank, even General Balajie had the same idea. Could we get on the gas turbine?

Facing the other party's question, Qin Guan said, "Well, we can try it too. I think... We can get the T-80 gas turbine through some channels. Moreover, the power is just right, and the volume is not bad either. "

If it was in the past, Qin Guan would have immediately decided. A gas turbine? Can it be used? That was a must-have for wealthy people. They did not have an oil field at home, so they dared to use that thing?

But now, Qin Guan's thoughts had changed a little. After all, this thing still had some benefits. Compared to a diesel engine, its biggest feature was that it wouldn't turn off the engine. You can operate it however you want. No matter how much it suppresses the engine, it won't turn off the engine. At the same time, ， this also meant that its torque was extremely strong, and its acceleration was quite good.

As for the other things, what do you mean by 'start fast'? Don't say anything about high power density.

In the past, Qin Guan did not do it because he knew... This kind of thing burned too much oil. It was definitely not suitable in the country. Therefore, when the country developed, it was directly rejected by him. However, it was different now. It was being developed for the Sanctity Country. Since they wanted to use it, they would bring it over for testing. Anyway, they already had the time and energy to do this kind of research. They would just treat it as a research project and let the domestic tank experts see if this gas turbine was reliable or not.

After the test, Sanctity Country probably wouldn't buy it. After all, their funds were limited. After a few tests, they found that drinking oil was like drinking water. It would definitely be banned.

Actually, this was mainly because this thing was very strange. There was no difference between slacking and speeding.

Ordinary diesel generators used very little oil when slacking, so some drivers couldn't bear to burn oil. After driving the whole thing, they were almost always slacking, thinking that they had saved a lot. A 150-horsepower machine only used 30 horsepower, that's all. In fact, the accumulation of carbon would cause the engine to be scrapped earlier. However, being easy to deal with was indeed easy to deal with.

However, the gas turbine was different. Its slow and high-speed operation had the same fuel consumption rate. Especially when it was on standby, it kept slacking and used up all its fuel. When it was necessary, but he couldn't. This was the most tragic scene of the T-80 war in Bear Country.

Of course, there was also a solution, which was to add an auxiliary power unit and not start the gas turbine. Now that we're talking about it, we have plenty of time and funds, and we can conduct these tests and preliminary research.

Fire, mobility, everything was said, and the only thing left was defense.
