The correct way to open the sprite

.

The weapons testing ground in Cattail City has been very lively these two days, because it not only undertakes the task of weapons testing, but also opens up a special area to test drivers' licenses and tracked combat vehicle driving licenses.

At first, Feng Yu thought very simply. With a diesel engine, the King of Land War tank would not be difficult. Later, he found that he had thought wrong.

It was not because the technology was too difficult, but because he suddenly realized that the tanks equipped in Cattail City were useless.

What is the role of tanks? The most important thing is to fight against enemy tanks, or to attack local heavy armor units and bunkers.

But the problem is that among the potential enemies of Cattail City, there are no tanks, nor are there any heavy armored units that require tank guns to penetrate, let alone invade Gerien with bunkers.

Therefore, the purpose of mounting a tank is only one for Cattail City, and that is to scare people.

But the key is that the enemies appearing in the plane passage don't know them at all, and enemies like the one-eyed troll or the undead don't know what it means to be afraid.

The tank gun was overly powerful, and the requirements for casting technology and specialized ammunition were too high.

Compared to the flesh-and-blood enemies in various planes, the light tanks on the earth are all overweight armored units for them.

After figuring this out, Feng Yu naturally gave up the unrealistic dream of letting the [-] tank gallop across the wilderness and became pragmatic.

What is pragmatism? Pragmatism means that he must understand that the enemies in Cattail City do not have tank guns with straight trajectories, no shoulder-fired rockets, and no anti-tank mines.

In other words, they have no effective armor-piercing means.

Then, the design of Cattail City's armored combat vehicles cannot follow the ideas on earth at all, but must come up with a design concept for armored combat vehicles that is in line with Gerien's characteristics.

Feng Yu believes that only one type of mobile armor force is needed in Cattail City, and more will not have much practical significance.

As the defender, Cattail City was originally equipped with a large number of high-explosive artillery, large-caliber mortars and rockets in the bunker.

According to the records of previous plane wars, the enemies in plane wars are mostly physically strong and resistant creatures such as undead creatures and one-eyed trolls.

For this kind of creature, artillery is not very suitable, because as long as it is not directly hit by the artillery or damaged by nearby bomb fragments, it is difficult to rely on the shock wave of high-explosive bombs to destroy the enemy on a large scale.

Especially when such creatures launch a large-scale attack, the smoke and dust raised by high-explosive bombs will also obstruct one's own line of sight, creating favorable conditions for the enemy to quickly approach.

In other words, this kind of weapon, which is very illegal in the eyes of humans, especially Moran mercenaries, may not be easy to use against enemies in other planes.

Scholars among elves who study plane warfare believe that if firepower such as demon hunting guns and heavy machine guns can be used in large quantities, they can directly destroy enemies with strong bodies or those who are ignorant of pain like undead creatures.

With this idea in mind, Feng Yu combined the current diesel engine performance, industrial foundation of Cattail City, and the tank design concept on the earth to design an armored tank suitable for plane warfare.

He initially believed that the wheeled infantry fighting vehicles on Earth equipped with heavy machine guns or small-caliber direct-fire guns were particularly suitable and had both mobility.

But the chassis, transmission, steering, shock absorption and run-proof tire designs of that kind of tank are too complicated.

So Feng Yu chose a similar one, that is, a tracked infantry fighting vehicle.

However, the tracked infantry fighting vehicle envisioned by Feng Yu is different from the one on earth.

Tracked infantry fighting vehicles on Earth are relatively flat in design because they have to take into account many conditions such as defending against enemy attacks, reducing infrared radiation, and increasing stealth radar performance.

The chariot needed by Cattail City does not have this design requirement.

The infantry fighting vehicle that Cattail City wants only needs to take into account both mobility and continuity of firepower, that is, it must run as fast as possible, and it must be able to carry more weapons and fuel.

This is because there is no road network in the wilderness, so fuel cannot be replenished frequently.

And once the enemy appears, it will be a large-scale and fearless long-lived charge, so the tank must have a large ammunition load.

Under such design requirements, the tracked combat vehicle produced by Cattail City looked different. It did not have a flat body, nor did it have a slanted front face that could deflect bullets. Instead, the whole thing looked like a chubby amphibious infantry combat vehicle.

However, the chariots in Cattail City do not have the function of launching into the water. In the dry wilderness, there is no water to go into. When we reach the Lengshui River, that is the territory of the warships, and there is no need for chariots to compete for business.

This tracked combat vehicle has a heavy machine gun firing position with a guard in the co-pilot position, which can attack enemies in front of the vehicle and on the left and right sides.

On the top of the tank are two side-by-side turrets. They are equipped with small-caliber high-level dual-purpose anti-aircraft cannons that can pitch for air defense, rotate 180 degrees laterally, and strike enemies at the front, rear and one side.

These two anti-aircraft cannons, like the heavy machine guns in front, are fed by ammunition belts and can provide continuous firepower.

And whether it is an anti-aircraft gun or a machine gun position, it is a turret design with built-in personnel to ensure the safety of soldiers to the greatest extent.

As for the rear roof, there is an openable baffle, which can be opened when necessary. Soulfire tracking missiles can be launched here to hit the opponent's long-distance air targets to make up for the lack of cannon attack range.

Generally speaking, Cattail City's tracked tanks focus more on single-target attacks and do not have large-caliber firepower.

However, if necessary, large-caliber artillery can be dragged into the battlefield behind this tracked tank. Anyway, except for the large-caliber artillery that is fixed on the fortress, the rest of the large-caliber artillery can be towed on wheels.

As for why only one type of tracked armored vehicle is produced, there is actually nothing we can do about it.

Cattail City is too small and does not have many talents for the design, production, modification and upgrade of tanks. Therefore, in order to facilitate improvements and maintenance, only one type of tracked armored vehicle is designed and equipped.

However, this model is enough for the time being. After all, Gerien's enemies rely on magic and physical bodies, and the current firepower of Cattail City, except for the ordinary rifles in the hands of soldiers, has far exceeded the magic power. The attack range of mentor-level magic units.

As for the strong men at the Grand Magister level, in the targeted combat training of the Cattail City Iron Army, as soon as such enemies are discovered, they will be saturated with long-range artillery, rockets, soul fire tracking missiles and other heavy weapons.

This is the attack level designed by Feng Yu for the current stage of Cattail City. The research and development work of Cattail City is still in progress, but most of those still being designed are unconventional super firepower.
