"Gentlemen, welcome here!" said the engineer in a white coat, standing proudly in front of a row of garages with the doors closed.

Surrounding him was a group of officers and soldiers from afar. Carlyus stood in front, looking at the engineers and officers who welcomed them.

Although there was no champagne or bread, everyone's faces were filled with smiles - being able to get the most advanced tank is the happiest thing for the tank crew members.

"The brand new tank can aim during marching, and then fire and fire after a short stop!" The engineer smiled and spread his hands.

Behind him, the guards carrying rifles pushed open the garage door, and brand new tiger tanks were presented to everyone.

History should remember this moment because in the history of human war, the first real main battle tank was launched into the German army in 1941.

The troops equipped with this kind of tank are the 505th Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion of Germany, which was found in the battle of Red Khach.

The Tiger tank also became one of the most successful tanks of this era because it was equipped with this battalion. It then became the totem of the German armored forces and the nightmare for all enemies.

As the German armored forces renewed and replaced the equipment of the Leopard tank, the Tiger tank has all the characteristics of future tanks.

First, the most advanced smelting technology was used to improve the armor protection performance of this tank. In the era when Tiger tanks were equipped with the German army, almost no enemy tanks could destroy Tiger tanks at normal combat distances.

In order to make the protection of this tank more outstanding, Germany first proposed the concept of composite armor. Although it is reserved for practical use, it is unquestionable that the Tiger tank uses technical principles similar to composite armor.

Secondly, the powerful artillery system and aiming system allow this tank to open fire to attack its enemies 1,000 meters away, and can easily destroy these enemies!

The 105mm caliber artillery has seriously overflowed its power in this era, and it can easily penetrate the armor of opponents such as T-34. This is thanks to the 105mm caliber tank gun that brings together cutting-edge technology from Britain and Germany, and its power is naturally extremely powerful.

Finally, the diesel engine built with advanced British and German technologies gives this tank a powerful power. The off-road maneuver performance is even better than the Leopard tank that is much lighter than it.

Such powerful maneuverability allows German tanks to quickly transfer their positions during combat, making it more difficult for opponents to narrow the distance between them. In this way, the German crew can fully utilize their shooting advantages at long distances and achieve tactical victory.

The three basic elements of the tank, the Tiger tank, all have perfect performance, which proves the superiority and advancement of German tanks in design.

On the other hand, the concept of German tanks is even more advanced in terms of invisible data. While Soviet tank designers were striving to catch up on paper data performance, German tank designers had already started to build high-tech equipment for tanks.

The Tiger tank has a simple ballistic computer, which is a mechanical computing device that can accurately and quickly calculate the shooting elements based on parameters such as the wind speed of the day.

German engineers are also equipping Tiger tanks with complex night vision instruments in order to give Tiger tanks the ability to fight at night.

Compared with these invisible performance innovations, the Soviet Union's Stalin Type 2 tank that had just begun mass production seems a bit invisible.

"In the battle with the Soviet army, the 502nd Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion encountered an unprecedented new type of Soviet tank." A senior intelligence officer present stood beside Karyus, looked at the tiger tank in the distance and spoke.

He seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him. After pausing, he continued to say: "It's not a kv-2 tank, it's a brand new tank with very powerful firepower and very heavy armor."

"A leopard tank from the 502 Tank Battalion fired two guns at it at a distance of 1,000 meters, and neither of them penetrated the armor of this tank..." When talking about this, the intelligence official's tone was full of solemnity.

You should know that before the emergence of this new enemy tank, there was no enemy tank on the battlefield. At normal combat distance, it could resist the bombardment of 88mm caliber tank guns equipped by Leopard tanks.

But now, this kind of tank has appeared. The other side is likely to accelerate the production of this new tank, and Germany must also take measures to deal with it!

If the response measures are not timely, it may affect the morale of the members of the German armored forces.

In addition, if Germany's new tanks cannot continue to crush the Soviets' new tanks, the losses of the German armored forces will increase tenfold or even more next spring.

"People from the test department are studying the wreckage of the tank. It is equipped with a 122mm caliber tank gun. It is obvious that this tank gun was designed and developed for the Panther tank." At this point, the intelligence officer looked at Carlyus.

Carlyus also looked at him, as if waiting for what he wanted to say next. The officer didn't keep it silent and said directly: "This is why the superiors are so anxious to install the Tiger tanks to the frontline troops."

When he heard the caliber of 122mm, Carlyus' heart also tightened - this caliber is really not small, and it is indeed very deterrent to install it on a tank.

You should know that before the 122mm caliber tank gun was put into service, the German 88mm caliber tank gun could be said to be the largest tank gun in terms of caliber.

Although the 152mm caliber howitzer equipped with kv-2 is larger in caliber, the function of the kv-2 is obviously closer to the self-propelled artillery and is not considered a qualified tank.

Previously, the Soviet T-34 were equipped with 76.2 mm caliber artillery, which was smaller than the German 88 guns.

But this time, the Soviets completed a caliber overtake: they were the first to equip the 122mm caliber tank gun, which was one lap bigger than the 105mm caliber tank gun equipped by the German Tiger tank!

"There is no more detailed data?" Karyus asked after thinking about the new Soviet tank.

The intelligence official's answer was a bit regrettable: "We only found one tank wreckage, which was left after the explosion... The damage inside was very serious, and basically nothing was left... So, so we can't grasp too much information."
