Chapter 573 - 573 566 The Final Glory
?Chapter 573: Chapter 566 The Final Glory Chapter 573: Chapter 566 The Final Glory The trackless 59G fired a shot, and with the help of the brand-new fire control system, the barrel steadied and aimed precisely at the enemy’s tank before hitting its target.
The first 59G was hit by the enemy and caught fire and exploded, while the second 59G had its track blown off by a hit to the front right side. However, the second 59G managed to fire in time, striking the enemy.
The barrel of the enemy’s leading tank drooped, followed by a puff of blue smoke from the muzzle. It was the enemy’s tank that had fired first and was in the process of reloading when it was struck by a 125mm tank cannon. The armor-piercing round penetrated the turret, and the resulting blue smoke emerged from the yet-to-be-loaded, unsealed breach.
But then the second enemy tank fired, with a roar, the turret of the trackless 59G was hit, and after firing just one shot, it never had the chance to fire again.
Even after the 59 was refitted with a 125mm main gun and upgraded fire control system, giving it the strength to contend with third-generation main battle tanks, the 59G was, after all, still a 59G. In terms of protection, the 59G was far inferior to the Abrams M1A2.
However, in terms of main gun power, the 125mm main gun and tungsten-core armor-piercing rounds used by the 59G were capable of penetrating Abrams’s armor.
But ultimately, the 59G is still a modification of the 59, with a small platform and limited retrofit capabilities. Compared to the M1A2, it lagged far behind in all aspects.
The 59’s target was not meant to be heavy tanks like the M1A2; the M1A2’s counterpart should have been the Type 99 tank. But now, the 59G could only rely on the powerful firepower of its main gun to confront the enemy who, on paper, had an overwhelming advantage.
