The weight of the 'King Tiger tank' tank is not much different from that of the 'Mighty Tiger' tank. However, due to the use of new armor steel, the defensive power of the 'King Tiger tank' tank is more powerful than that of the 'Mighty Tiger' tank. Among the tanks currently in service around the world, except for abnormal tanks like the KV-2, it is estimated that no tank can penetrate the armor of the 'Mighty Tiger' tank. After all, the 152mm Tank Cannon of the KV-2 tank is extremely abnormal. It's just that the KV-2 tank is too heavy, very slow, and very clumsy. Unless there are multiple such tanks setting up ambushes, otherwise, it is impossible to threaten the advanced tanks of German military.
The new 105mm Tank Cannon of the 'King Tiger tank' tank can penetrate the armor of any tank. Even at longer distances, it is still very powerful. Coupled with the advanced aiming device, this allows the 'King Tiger tank' tank to penetrate the armor of most tanks and penetrate it even at a distance of 1,500 meters.
In addition, the 'King Tiger tank' tank is also equipped with a gun stabilizer, which allows the 'King Tiger tank' tank to fire even while it is moving. Unlike other tanks, if you want to fire, you must stop first. In that case, it not only increases the difficulty of hitting, but also increases the danger. After all, the tank is much more likely to be hit when it is disabled.
Oscar attaches great importance to the 'King Tiger tank' tank. He even regards this tank as one of the main weapons for Germany to win this war. It can be seen that Oscar has high expectations for this tank.
"Your Majesty, the development work of the 'King Tiger tank' tank is very smooth. It will be ready for mass production in up to three months!" Field Marshal Manstein said.
Oscar nodded, three months is not a long time. Even if a war breaks out between Germany and United States, it will be impossible to determine the winner within three months. Even German Navy performed very well and defeated American Navy in three months. But if you want to log in to United States, you still have to wait a long time. Therefore, German Army still has enough time to wait for new tanks to enter the lineup.
"All production of the 'Panther tank' tank has been shut down, and the main production is the 'Mighty Tiger' tank. After the mass production of the 'King Tiger tank' tank, we will find a way to prioritize the production of 12 battalions to form 12 heavy tank battalions!" Oscar said.
Although the performance of the 'Panther tank' tank is still very strong, when the 'Mighty Tiger' tank has begun to serve in large quantities, and even the 'King Tiger tank' tank is about to enter service, there is really no need to invest more resources in production. Although the 'Mighty Tiger' tank costs more, it also has better performance. Once German Navy defeats American Navy and lands on United States's homeland, more and more powerful armor will need to be invested. After all, United States's homeland is too vast. Very suitable for Armored Forces combat. Even if the 'Panther tank' tank is eliminated, it can still be equipped with Puppet Troops. Once Germany attacks United States's homeland, not only will they dispatch elite German military, but they will also dispatch a large number of Puppet Troops. After passing the test of Russian front, Germany and many Puppet Troops can still be reused once they have passed the test of blood and fire.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Field Marshal Manstein nodded.
"Your Majesty, in addition to tanks, German Army Air Corps has also developed newer aircraft. They are using P-47 fighter jets and P-51 fighter jets to replace the old P-40 fighter jets. These two fighter jets may pose a great threat to the aircraft equipped by our air force." Field Marshal Manstein continued.
"Field Marshal Kesselring? Is the Air Force prepared for this?" Oscar asked.
United States The Air Force has not yet been established. Army Air Corps and Naval Air Corps are responsible for the flying forces of the Army and Navy respectively.
"Your Majesty, the Air Force is ready. Except for the P-47 fighter jets and P-51 fighter jets whose range is not as good as Americans, our BF-109 fighter jets are not weaker than them in other performances. As for the FW-190 fighter jets, in combat In terms of performance, it is even stronger than the two fighters of Americans. In addition, our TA-152 fighter is about to enter mass production. Once this fighter is put into service, our air force will have even greater advantages!" Albert Field Marshal Kesselring answered confidently.
Indeed, Americans's P-47 fighter jets and P-51 fighter jets can be regarded as fighter jets with advanced performance. But German Air Force The BF-109 fighter jets and FW-190 fighter jets currently in service are also classic fighter jets. As for the TA-152 fighter, it is the pinnacle of propeller fighters. In addition, German Air Force is also at the forefront of the world in the development of jet fighters. Although German Air Force has not yet begun to equip jet fighters, that is because Oscar requires German Air Force to further develop it. He hopes that the jet fighter equipped by German Air Force will not be the ME-262 aircraft of Führer, but a fighter aircraft with an appearance closer to that of later generations. Therefore, the scientists of Germany are still working hard to meet the requirements of Oscar.
Oscar nodded, German Air Force still has a leading advantage in fighter jets. However, in terms of Bomber, the gap between the two sides is not big. The performance of the B-17 Bomber equipped by US Army Air Corps is almost the same as that of the H-21 Bomber of German Air Force. The overall performance of US Army Air Corps's B-24 Bomber is close to the H-31 Bomber that German Air Force is currently mass-producing. However, US Army Air Corps's B-24 Bomber is still under development. As for the more advanced B-29 Bomber, there is no shadow yet. The H-41 Bomber of German Air Force is already under development.
"The scale of strategic Bomber needs to be further expanded. We need more and more advanced strategic Bomber. United States has strong industrial strength. If we want to defeat United States, we We have to dispatch a large number of strategic Bomber to bomb United States's industrial base. Only after destroying United States's industrial base can we defeat them!" Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Albert Field Marshal Kesselring replied.
"Marshal Raeder? What about the navy? American Navy is the enemy of Imperial Navy." Oscar said.
Once a war breaks out between United States and Germany, the navy will undoubtedly be the main force in the first duel between the two sides. If United States wants to attack Europe and threaten German homeland, it needs to kill German Navy. Otherwise, even if United States has a powerful army, it will not be able to defeat Europe. Atlantic Ocean's obstruction made Americans unable to do anything but sigh.
Similarly, if Germany wants to kill United States, it first needs the navy to defeat American Navy. In this case, the powerful German Army can land on United States's homeland under the protection of the navy.
