The 'Mighty Tiger' tank weighs 48 tons, is 8.45 meters long, 3.4 meters wide (width is 3.56 meters when using combat tracks), and 2.66 meters high. It uses a 1,200-horsepower Maybach gasoline engine with a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour. The weapons are an 88mm 56x caliber Tank Cannon and two 7.92mm machine guns. In terms of armor, the front armor of the turret is 120 mm with a bevel angle of 30 degrees, and the front armor of the turret is 100 mm with a bevel angle of 35 degrees. The side and rear armor is 85 mm with a 60 degree bevel. In addition, the thickness of the gun mantlet is 150 mm.
The 'Mighty Tiger' tank is much more powerful than the 'Panther tank' tank in terms of firepower and armor. Except for being a little slower due to its heavier weight, the other performances are very strong. Compared with the 'Tiger Series' tank from another time and space, the armor performance of the 'Mighty Tiger' tank is also better. In addition, the armor adopts oblique armor across the board. With the same armor thickness, the bulletproof capability is ahead of that of vertical armor.
Oscar stood in front of a 'Mighty Tiger' tank that had just left the factory and had not been painted yet with a smile on his face. The pitch-black tank shines with cold metallic light, looking so majestic that people can't help but feel awe of it.
Thanks to his efforts, the production and R&D capabilities of German military industry in this time and space are much ahead of those in other time and space. This enabled German military to begin equipping these advanced weapons in 1936. Once a war breaks out, German military will definitely be able to catch the enemy by surprise with these advanced weapons. This will give Germany a great advantage in the war.
"Your Majesty, the performance of the 'Mighty Tiger' tank is much more advanced than that of the 'Panther tank' tank. However, the cost is also much more expensive. For now, we will produce a small amount and equip the sharp knife troops. I agree. To At that time, we can use these 'Mighty Tiger' tanks to defeat the most powerful enemies and directly destroy their fighting will. The other enemies can be dealt with by the 'Panther tank' tanks!" General Guderian said.
"Even the 'Panther tank' tanks are currently unable to be dealt with by the enemies. Compared with the Empire's Armored Forces, they are far behind!" General Rommel looked proud. He is proud that Empire can have the most advanced tanks and the most powerful armored forces in the world.
Oscar smiled and said to his two favorite generals, "War is the best catalyst. After the war breaks out, the science and technology of various countries, especially military technology, will develop rapidly. By then, our opponents will become more and more powerful. The 'Panther tank' tank will undoubtedly steal the show in the early stages of the war. They beat the crap out of those enemies. However, when their more advanced tanks enter service, the 'Panther tank' tank will become very difficult. Therefore, the 'Mighty Tiger' tank is just our first mass-produced heavy tank and there will be more advanced tanks in the future."
Generals General Guderian and Rommel and others nodded repeatedly. In terms of weapons and equipment, Germany has always been at the forefront of the world. In this aspect, these generals are impeccable.
"Generals, I am responsible for providing you with the most advanced and powerful weapons in the world. And you are responsible for using your ingenuity to win the war for me and Empire! I have done everything I can do, and I hope that you can also do everything you should do!" Oscar said with a smile. All of his efforts have only one goal, and that is to win the war. If you fail, all your efforts will be in vain.
"Yes, Your Majesty. We guarantee that we will definitely win!" General Guderian looked determined.
General Rommel also nodded solemnly. He also firmly believed that the future victory would definitely belong to them.
The next day, Oscar went to General Staff Headquarters to attend a seminar on new tactics. Attending this meeting were not only army generals, but also air force generals. Because, the strategy to be studied this time is exactly Blitzkrieg proposed by Oscar.
"Everyone, Empire now has the most powerful Armored Forces, the most powerful army and air force in the world. The advanced weapons and equipment have brought about huge changes. At the same time, our tactics have also undergone huge changes. The tactics used by World War in the last game will be different twenty years later today. God, it is obviously unrealistic and outdated. Therefore, I hope that our army can be at the forefront of the world not only in terms of weapons and equipment, but also in terms of tactics. Only in this way can we have greater confidence in defeating powerful enemies and winning the war!" Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the generals replied.
"The focus of today's discussion is how to use armored forces and air force. I call this tactic blitzkrieg. That is, in the early days of the war, the air force is dispatched on a large scale to bomb the enemy's frontline airports and destroy all the enemy's fighter planes on the airports, thereby completely ensuring the security of many front lines. After that, the Army launched an attack. As the forward force of the Army, the armored forces used their powerful assault capabilities to tear apart the enemy's defense line, and then continuously penetrated and encircled the enemy's defense in depth, dividing the enemy's effective forces into encirclements one after another. The infantry follows the armored forces and takes over after the armored forces complete the encirclement, destroying the enemies in the encirclement. In this way, we can not only destroy the enemy's frontal defense, but also prevent the enemy from forming at all. Weaving a strong defense. Before the enemy's defense force was organized, we were bombarded by the imperial air force and attacked by armored forces. In this way, it would be easier for us to win the battle. "Qin Tian said.
The air force seizes air supremacy, Armored Forces quickly assaults, divides and encircles, this is undoubtedly the essence of Blitzkrieg. Although Oscar doesn't know much about specific tactics, he can put forward the things he knows and let professionals improve and deduce them, and finally form tactics that can be truly applied in actual combat.
According to the ideas proposed by Oscar, the generals began to brainstorm ideas. At the same time, the deduction began on the sand table. With the help of a large number of combat staff, Blitzkrieg's tactics will soon take shape. It only needs to be tested on the battlefield after the war breaks out.
