    The first drawing shows the Sherman tank improved by Marler.

    This tank vehicle focuses more on the pursuit of firepower. A 12.7mm caliber heavy machine gun is pretended to be on top of the Sherman tank vehicle, and a grenade launcher is added, which can fire at enemies behind the bunker.  Mortar shells can also kill enemies behind bunkers.

    The second drawing also shows the improved Sherman tank.

    This model focuses more on mobility. However, in order to pursue higher mobility, the armor plate on its surface has also been weakened to a certain extent to achieve the highest speed.

    This kind of tank is mainly used to rush quickly on the battlefield and raid the enemy's sides and rear, similar to the existence of cavalry.

    Of course, after the armor plate of this tank vehicle is weakened, it will be more easily destroyed by enemy artillery shells and other anti-tank weapons.

    The third drawing is a tank that pays more attention to armor protection and firepower.

    Compared with the previous two types of tanks, this tank moves slower.

    But, similarly, it also obtains the best protective performance and firepower.

    This kind of tank can be used as a fire support vehicle. It can not only fire a large number of artillery shells and grenades, but also use the two heavy machine guns on the roof to suppress the enemy's vitality.

    Maler enthusiastically introduced the three tanks he designed to Xia Yang, with unprecedented excitement in his eyes.

    His dream has always been to be a tank designer.

    It has been his lifelong dream to see the tanks he designed galloping across the battlefield.

    In their country in the United States, the design of tanks and vehicles does not have a small role like him.

    But at this time, he can show off his skills.

    Maler introduced to Xia Yang: "The first tank, I named it the Sherman 1 tank.

    I added some more weapons to it, and also gave him more ammunition and other weapon mounts.

    Of course, this will sacrifice its mobility to a certain extent.

    As for the second model, it is the Sherman 2 tank. This tank removes a lot of heavy armor plates to achieve the highest assault speed. It is useful for quickly detouring the enemy's sides and rear, and at the same time in front of the enemy.  , quickly break through the position and can work wonders.  Like a sharp arrow, it shoots directly through the enemy's defense line.

    The last one, although a little bulky, has the dual advantages of firepower and protection. However, in order to obtain such advantages, I had to sacrifice its mobility.

    If it were to run on the battlefield, I am afraid that the third Sherman 3 tank would only have about two-thirds the speed of the Sherman 1 tank.  "

    Looking at the design drawings of those tanks, Xia Yang knew that Maler must have spent a lot of effort on them.

    However, the concepts of these tanks have some flaws.

    The main flaw is that the weapons Marel added to it are all based on weapons he already knows.

    But Xia Yang has a rocket nest.

    Considering this, Xia Yang said directly: "Mr. Maler, I have seen your tank design drawings, but I have some better ideas. If you are interested, I want to tell you.  listen."

    "Of course, I'd love to hear your opinion.

    After all, you are the ultimate commander of these tanks. Whatever strategic goals you want to achieve on the battlefield, our weapons should be designed to this aspect.  "

    Marel said.

    Xia Yang nodded to him, then pointed at the first tank, the Sherman 1 tank, and said: "This tank only has a grenade launcher and a heavy machine gun, which I don't think is enough.

    It is better to replace the grenade launcher directly with a rocket nest and the heavy machine gun directly with a 30mm cannon.

    If the machine gun uses armor-piercing projectiles, it can even penetrate the enemy's reinforced concrete bunkers.  "

    "Rocket nest?"

    For such a weapon, Marel obviously doesn¡¯t quite understand.

    After all, at this moment, the Soviet Katyusha has not yet entered service, let alone a weapon like a rocket nest.

    Xia Yang said at this time: "By the way, Mr. Maler doesn't know what a rocket nest is yet. It doesn't matter. You will see him soon."

    Believe me, it's better than thatThe grenade launcher is much more powerful.

    As soon as those rocket nests start roaring, the little devils on the opposite side will tremble all over.  ¡¯

    "Then I really can't wait to see this kind of weapon."

    Marel said, with a little curiosity and doubt in his eyes.

    At this time, Xia Yang continued: "For the second tank, your idea is to sacrifice protection to a certain extent in order to pursue mobility.

    But I think we have more comprehensive options.

    For example, through some external armor pieces, this tank vehicle can not only break through the local defense line frontally, but also be able to bypass the flanks.  "

    "So what do you mean, add external armor plates?"

    ¡°Yes, these armor plates can usually be transported by trucks. When the tank needs to make a frontal penetration, these armor plates can be directly hung on the outside of the tank and break in from the front.

    But if the tank needs to use its speed to encircle the enemy from the side and rear, then these armor plates can be removed and the attack can be carried out at full speed.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Will our offensive options and tank usage options be expanded?  "

    Xia Yang said.

    Hearing these words, Marel looked at Xia Yang with a little reverence in his eyes.

    When he designed these tanks, although he was a little passionate, he also had many colleagues¡¯ experience in tank design.

    However, what Xia Yang said now made him realize that the design of the tank car still needs to take into account so many details.

    Not only that, the opinions Xia Yang put forward based on the needs of the battlefield were also of great help to the design and improvement of his tanks.

    Thinking of this, he said: "General Xia, you are really a very experienced general. The attacks you have considered are things I would never have thought of in the factory and research laboratory."

    Xia Yang said with a smile at this time: "There is also a third tank. In fact, I think it can still be modified."

    "What transformation?"

    Marel listened very carefully this time.

    Because he now realizes that Xia Yang may be more professional than himself in this regard.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
