Chapter 51 Summary Meeting (2)
"To be honest, don't look at the tank I've driven for nine years, and there are not less than seven or eight types of tank models, but this is the first time I have found the fun of driving a tank on the 59R Armor modification."
Li Wenbo's words caused a low laugh in the conference room.
"Although I am already an old driver with extensive driving experience, when driving other familiar tank models, my concentration is far greater than that of the 59R Arc, who I am not familiar with."
"For example, the random simulated battlefield confrontation that the base had conducted last week was just a small and simple confrontation of three to three, and our victory also contained some luck, but the change in the power system would bring completely different detailed experiences to the tank soldiers."
"At that time, you dug all kinds of obstacles and shell craters on the simulated battlefield. Our participants were all blinded by the venue. After actually entering the venue, I didn't have to drive other tanks at all. I had to always stare at the road or the direction of the way, and climb over some unavoidable craters, puddles, and steep slopes to concentrate on controlling the tank carefully to avoid causing the engine on the battlefield to stall."
"When driving the 59 R-A, I only need to pay attention to the insurmountable boulders or trees. If a certain slope or crater fails to rush up, it will be enough to replenish oil. The large torque from the gas turbine does not need to worry about the problem of shutting down the engine. The extra energy can help the driver or gunner to observe the surrounding environment as a whole, and can also focus on finding suitable hidden places."
"If we look at it vividly, our team actually has six eyes to seek enemies or hide, while there are only four opponents on the other side. To borrow a fashionable military concept, we have an electromagnetic advantage, so victory is only natural."
The three-on-three confrontation that Li Wenbo mentioned began half a month ago. Three old-fashioned 591 groups and three 59r A, B and C were hunting confrontations on the random airfield ground with a limited range. For this reason, the base also specially set up several laser simulators from a synthetic tactical training center in the south and installed them on six confrontation tanks.
In Liang Yuan's view, the rules of confrontation are very interesting. Not only does it draw on the dogfight between Air Force fighters, but it also pioneered the establishment of a data judgment similar to the roll equipment of future online games, which is used to simulate the hit rate and armor rebound rate of artillery.
Similar to the aircraft locking target, the gunner locks the target with the installed laser scope for more than five seconds and will trigger the data determination of the laser simulator. After the start-up program has set the random number of intervals, either the target is judged to be destroyed and smoked, or the opponent's internal alarm bell is made, indicating that it is hit by the enemy, and quickly find the target or choose objects to hide.
As Li Wenbo said, the 50% higher torque and the characteristics of gas turbines with equivalent power and the difficulty of shutting down are determined by the driver to complete the work in a more relaxed state or focus their energy on other directions.
Battlefield advantages have always been composed of small details or strong luck advantages. After the new century, the human-machine environment has been increasingly valued. The relaxed and friendly driving environment will definitely help soldiers realize the maximum potential of their equipment. The reason why the US Army regards diesel engines as nothing in the main battle tanks can be said that in addition to the large fuel consumption, the advantages of gas turbines in terms of performance are too great.
Liang Yuan has seen many reviews on various vehicles and mobile phones, but he has never heard of anyone commenting on the direction of driving a tank, so he naturally listened with relish and focused attention.
Although the tank looks invincible and fearless, it just looks like it. In actual use, tanks are a very fragile mechanical equipment. To some extent, it is even more difficult than a trailer with a certificate. If you accidentally start a steep slope like a novice, it is easy to turn off the tank's diesel engine.
For example, when Russia held a tank competition in later generations, tanks were shut down halfway through the road, and the life and reliability of high-power tank diesel engines were not very good.
For example, if a tank brigade is equipped with 120 tanks. When the tank itself is maneuvering, if a day and night assault can advance more than 100 kilometers, and at the same time, it can also ensure that the equipment integrity rate is 60 to 70%, it is already the world's first-class army level.
In other words, after a tank brigade conducts a 24-hour day-night battlefield rush, even if there are fewer than 48 tanks that fall behind due to various failures, it is excellent.
In the Gulf War not long after, the 3rd Armored Division of the US Army proudly announced after the Gulf War that after the entire division carried out a battlefield assault maneuver of 300 kilometers, its equipment integrity rate reached 90%.
The US Army's Third Armored Division's achievements are already awesome in the world and are dissatisfied with everything.
In the new century, after the Republic's Type 99 tank equipment troops were equipped, it conducted a nine-day and night synthetic armored brigade full-equipped confrontation exercise. At that time, the Republic's Type 99 tank cluster set a record of 237 kilometers of breakthroughs in two days and nights, which was only 3 kilometers away from the two-day and nights founded by the Soviet Red Army at its peak. After the 237 kilometers of breakthrough, the equipment integrity rate of the Type 99 tank was 80%.
The reason why the Republic's Army is 10% different from the US military in the Gulf War era is that the difference in the choice of the core power of the main battle tank is the most critical factor in the difference.
Compared with high-power tank diesel engines, gas turbine units have almost overwhelming advantages in handling and maintainability.
The gas turbine unit is simple and easy to operate, making it easy to maintain. In the 1990s, Sweden had extremely detailed test records when bidding for its army's main battle tank. After the new century, the Swedish Ministry of Defense decrypted a batch of documents as it moved, and finally circulated publicly on the Internet.
Even the top diesel tank engines overseas have to undergo regular maintenance within a maximum of ten motorcycle hours. If the gas turbine does not encounter a pitiful environment like a tropical desert, let alone running ten motorcycle hours, it doesn’t matter if you go there for ten more.
At that time, the three world-renowned tanks of the Swedish Army bidding project were three world-renowned tanks, namely the US m1a2, the German Leopard 2 and the French Leclerc. Although the Swedish Army finally purchased the German Leopard 2, the huge advantage of m1a2 received the highest score in terms of handling and maintainable performance.
In the test of the Swedish Ministry of Defense, the fuel consumption of 2a5 for 100 kilometers was only 71 liters, while the m1a2 was as high as 148 liters. In terms of Sweden's land area and international status, the long-distance large assault that m1a2 is good at is almost useless, and it is natural to lose the election.
