Chapter 961 Light and Tantan are also together
"Well, this simple fire control system is not simple, at least the effect is not simple at all, hahaha. Then what is the simple night battle system you are talking about?"
With this "simple fire control system" in front of us, everyone is more looking forward to the "simple night battle" mentioned by Gao Zhendong, and this thing is probably not very simple.
Gao Zhendong smiled at the comrades of the Defense Work Committee and said, "Two leaders, do you remember that we are dirty... In the summary meeting after the Battle of Physical and Poison, comrades in the Air Force want TV-guided bombs that can fight at night?"
"Ah, yes, yes, that's the case, because thermal cameras are too expensive. You said there is a new idea, but to determine whether we have the ability to achieve it, we are still conducting research."
"Ah, yes, yes, there is such a thing, and now the result is coming? Can it be used on tanks?" The two of the Defense Work Committee remembered this.
As soon as they finished asking, the two realized that they had asked a stupid question: It can be used on bombs, why can't it be used on tanks? All night vision images.
"Yes, although it is a bit difficult, I think the basic conditions are met, and there is no problem. This night vision device is called a low-light night vision device, which can achieve better night imaging. It essentially amplifies and enhances natural light, which is cheaper than thermal cameras. However, compared with thermal cameras, the defects are also obvious. There must be a certain amount of natural light, moonlight, and starlight, but it cannot be completely lost. At this point, it does not require natural light at all and cannot be compared with thermal cameras, but it can be used in most battlefield environments."
Although I have never heard of it, this name is easy to understand, and other comrades have roughly understood what equipment this is and the principle it uses. "That's okay, there are very few cases of actually not seeing your fingers." The leaders of the army didn't mind at all. It was cheap and could achieve part of the effect of the thermal camera, which was good, at least not like infrared headlights.
"And for reconnaissance that disguises the enemy, it is not as good as a thermal camera. It is not suitable for reconnaissance and high-value weapons to observe and aim." "Hahaha, that's fine. We use thermal cameras under those combat requirements. This is enough to achieve relatively cheap night battles." There are many technical means to choose from, and the feeling of matching technology according to needs makes the comrades in the army feel extremely wonderful. We can actually be so luxurious.
Using all thermal cameras is a financial luxury, and this selective use of technology is a technological luxury, and it is very pleasant!
"In addition, the light of the low light night vision device is too strong, it cannot work, it can't even burn the sensor." In fact, the embarrassing thing about the low light night vision device is the light intensity in the evening at dusk. It is too strong to start, and it is impossible to see clearly without starting. Fortunately, the optical design can be used to weaken this problem. "That's easy to deal with. If you don't use it during the day, we use our naked eyes to be afraid or not." The comrades in the army looked happy. What's the problem?
Gao Zhendong nodded: "Then there is no problem. This is indeed much worse than a thermal camera, but it can carry out basically normal night battles on most real battlefields." The low-light night vision camera has not been eliminated until the 21st century, so it naturally has its advantages.
"If it is done, I will add one to the 62 Captain." The troops are a little greedy. Since it is cheap, I will add one to the 62 Captain's observation system. It doesn't matter if the performance is poor. At least, it is guaranteed that the 62 Captain can see clearly at night. At least this thing is cheap.
The leaders of the Defense Work Committee laughed when they heard this. Why can't you correct your problem? "That's good! This matter needs it! Not only do you need it, but the Air Force also needs it, and we can even use it for civilian use." The leader of the Defense Work Committee smiled, Comrade Gao Zhendong's head was good. "Well, let's change the 5DL according to this. In addition, I suggest that your Defense Work Committee move the 5DL production line to the Northeast Ice City Tractor Factory. If the short-term quantity of Type 62 cannot be increased, this one can produce a little new one."
Gao Zhendong nodded: "Leader, if this is the case, you can add an item to the improvement project and add a horizontal stabilizer, which can compress the reaction speed of the simple fire control system to less than 12 seconds, and the increase cost is not much."
Not to mention the height of the artillery, at least the horizontal direction is aligned first, and finally the pitch speed is very fast, which is very beneficial for actual combat. With this, you can completely beat the Citimen's M-60. "Okay! OK! I think this suggestion is good! Add, add!" The army leader was in a very good mood. When it comes to the Ice City Tractor Factory, he remembered something.
"Comrade Zhendong, Chief Engineer Luo, you have an idea for Bingcheng Tractor Factory. How to change that Qingtan?" This is also a knot in their hearts. It is really a bit unhurried to use this thing, but if you don't use it, it is indeed necessary.
Gao Zhendong deeply agreed that the road situation across the country was not optimistic at this time. Light tanks, which have the characteristics of tanks with strong off-road capabilities, good protection and strong firepower, and can also be deployed and used in mountainous areas and water networks, are indeed available.
What Gao Zhendong also knows is that using this thing on the plateau can greatly reduce the logistical pressure of the plateau armored troops, whether it is the transport tank itself or the subsequent logistical supply.
The original light tank still suffered some losses when hitting the monkey. After all, the armor is too weak and any kind of bazooka can penetrate it, which is difficult to stretch.
Chief Master Luo blurted out without thinking: "I don't think I need any advice. Just use the modified 5DL set for him." Not to mention, there is nothing wrong with the 5DL set for use on the Qingtan. Firepower, protection, fire control, and night battles have been comprehensively improved, and the weight and cost is not too high.
The comrades in the army lit up their eyes: "Hey...yes, this plan is ready-made! But is that gun too big than a light tank?"
Mr. Luo smiled and said, "This PTH-61 is not much heavier than the 85mm rifled gun in the light tank. Instead of worrying about not being able to carry it, it is better to worry about the problem of the cannon being overturned. In this regard, we should ask the comrades from the Ice City Tractor Factory to pay attention."
Gao Zhendong also agreed with this suggestion: "Yes, there is no problem in this regard. I think that if the light tank has not been finalized, there is a place they can improve."
In fact, Gao Zhendong knew that the length of the light tank is about the same as the 5DL, and combined with the weight of the vehicle, this is not a problem at all, but he can't say that he knows the length of the light tank under development that he has never been exposed to in theory, so the fun will be great.
"Where is needed to improve?" If the 5DL improvement is used, the car itself does not need to move, but Gao Zhendong's words clearly point to the original structure such as the car body.
"If it is a cast turret, it is recommended to convert the cast turret to weld the turret, and generally adopt the protection form of base armor plus composite armor, and then add the external explosion and reverse if necessary. The composite armor has a very good protection effect compared to homogeneous steel armor under the same weight. In addition, the explosion and reverse can obtain very good protection capabilities."
Gao Zhendong knew that the light tank was a cast turret and was not very good for laying out composite armor.
His idea was very simple. First of all, the monkeys could hardly chew the front. Their main anti-tank weapons were all energy-gathering armor-piercing warheads. As long as they could defend this, it would be easy. Use tanks to anti-tanks? This is too demanding for them.
Then gain the power of a battle with the main battle tanks that were equipped for at least three or more decades. PTH-61 plus the composite explosion-proof counter-attack is almost enough.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小� "Well, this suggestion is good. Although it costs a little weight, the comrades from the Ice Tow Factory have made the engine indicators relatively high, which exceeds the original requirements. This price is still affordable. Then why not weld the 5DL turret too?"
The army leaders were happy and a little confused.
Gao Zhendong looked surprised when he heard this. Perhaps, maybe, there is a little possibility. This matter has something to do with his efforts in the materials?
Comrades are working hard.
In response to the questions of the comrades in the army, he expressed his considerations: "The 5DL turret is too dynamic and expensive, and in the current environment, it is necessary to retain a tank configuration that can be produced quickly. In this stage, cast turrets are much faster than welding turrets."
Theoretically, the production speed of cast turrets depends on how many molds there are, which is faster than welding turrets that require skilled high-strength steel plate welding workers.
"Well, your considerations are very comprehensive and make sense. Those who have fought a war are different, and even the consumption during wartime was taken into account." The comrades in the army thought about it and agreed with Gao Zhendong's suggestions.
Mr. Luo also admired him very much. He really couldn't imagine this.
Seeing that everyone's opinions were almost the same, the leader of the Defense Working Committee smiled and said, "That's it. The original team of the 62 tank will continue to develop the 5DL improved model. The direction of improvement is to replace the 105 slide, hang explosion, increase fire extinguishing and suppression, simple fire control, simple night battle, and increase horizontal stabilizer. In addition, we notified the comrades of the Ice-Torture Factory to come and learn from it, modify the light tank according to the above ideas, and asked them to change the cast turret of the light tank to a welded turret to improve the armored configuration."
The Defense Working Committee is not stingy at all, and the horizontal stabilizer is added directly.
This is actually the decentralization of the 62 tank technology. The only immature one here is the low light night vision device. But it doesn’t matter. Comrade Zhendong proposed that the success rate should be very high, so you can plan it in first.
If there is really a problem, it is not impossible to use infrared headlights to top them up.
Just this 5DL modification, it can directly hit the Citimen's M-60 shit, and can also fight back and forth with the Russians' new tank.
Gao Zhendong suddenly felt a little depressed. Damn, isn’t that 62 style in vain?
Think about it again, without the 62 style, where can this 5DL change come from? That's fine.
