The British Monster Panzer is no longer active

120mmIt is the gold standard for modern times Kampfpanzer. If you are studying armor, think reactive armor, you can take your thinking to the next level. Look at the Leopard navigation if you are using the M1A3 Abrams as a main gun with 130mm and 140mm neglected.

Compare with them FV4005 It’s a mini upgrade. The British Champion Panzer has a cannon in caliber 183mm – and that was fine in the 1950s.

The ambitious project ultimately comes together in vergessenheit. However, the FV4005 has been removed from disaster light. There are 2 restored prototypes available original faithfully restored.

The idea for the FV4005 comb End of the 40-year on Der Bald War began and damned the Wettrusts. Britain wants to have an effective effect when it comes to working IS-3 find. The Schwwere Kampfpanzer was produced from 1945 onwards. There was a lot of effort for the Einsatz in Germany, but it was also a matter of time. 122mm Cannon and for modern dam constructions and thick armor as “the tank to defeat” – also the Panzer, the man had to battle.

The British concept said that it had never been an armored duel with the IS-3 and carried out more powerful attacks. Statistics have never begun, nor before the British Troops have found an effective 122 mm gun.

Daraus is affected by the Anforderungen and the new Waffe. Eine Kanone solves her, that one 152mm (6 Zoll) dicke Panzerung, die in one 60-Degree-Shop has been brought, on an Entfernung von 1,830 meters (2,000 yards) durchschlagen kann. Damit sollte der IS-3 was besieged, dessen schräge Wanne an der Front eine 110mm to 120mm had thick tanks.

At the end of December 1952 there was a man of the caliber of the benevolent Kanone and the names: “Ammunition, rapid fire, 183mm, tank, L4 gun“. It is such that most of the time we end up in a kampfpanzer-eingebaut war.

Excursion: It gets even bigger

The Betonung dabei is located on Kampfpanzer – Main Battle Tank. There is a lot of history when it comes to a situation where there is a situation where the situation can be resolved.

If it is so, if someone comes from the neighborhood, a tank is “never” an armored boiler with a cannon, which 183 mm is not the largest caliber. Germany used in the second world war the Sturmmörser tiger.

This one had a 380mm Mortarof the nature of the marine development. The Reichweite Betrug 5 kilometers. A special Hohlladungsgranate sollte in der Lage sein, 2.5 Meter Stahlbeton in permeable layers. It would be about the stummering, a confirmed scaffolding and bunker to zero.

The Geschütz wurde auf Fahrgestellen von damaged Tiger Panzers gebaut, hatte aber keinen drehbaren Turm. Insgesamt wurden nur 10 Sturmmörser gebaut. A man can visit the German Panzer Museum Munster, the second visit to Russia is in the Panzer Museum Kubinka Ausgestellt.

Root Russia: With the 2B1 Okay The Soviet Union built the largest gun on a chain. It acts with an armored artillery that cannot wage war and commit war. The 420 mm gun with a length of 18 meters is a Reichsweite up to 50 kilometers. The project was completed in 1960.

FV4005 as a quick solution

The 183mm L4 gun is the main armament of the FV215 were. The basis for the FV200 series, the fall of the 40s is over. The development is becoming softer. Till the first FV214 Conqueror produced since 1955.

The Entwicklung of the FV215 has lasted the British militia for a long time. Man befürchtete, dass der Kalte Krieg “heiß” wird, nor bevor er esinsatzbereit ist. Please also note that the L4 is a premium Wanne of the FV4000 Series. This knows man vom Centurion tank. We were put into service in 1946 and continued to work again.

The combination of the L4 gun and the Centurion-Wanne has developed the project FV4005. The development is solved in 2 stufenstattfinden: Phase 1 and Phase 2.

Phase 1: Panzer with “nackter” Kanone

In phase 1 only results are achieved, while L4 can become a Centurion-Fahrgestell at all. Therefore the gun was still naked, also naked. They war heavily over 360 degrees drehbar, konnte aber nur befeuert, if ze nach werne ausgerichtet. A Schuss-damit has a small Rückstoßkraft von 87 tons. Würde der Panzer is very schießen, würde is umkippen.

Let the Waffe give a hint shaving brought. Before firing the guns they were remounted and inserted into the ground. So a part of the back pressure in the ground would have to be removed.

The signage in the vertical war that imposes and fully involves the gun size -5 to +10 degrees. For faster driving, for example. The transport must be installed three times, the gun becomes +2 degrees more stable. For the test of phase 1, there would be a chance that, if the threshold is exceeded, problems arise.

Das Geschütz hates a Ladehilfe. This project and loading instructions should be corrected. Thats Treden from Projektil and Ladung war is not like that, but it is likely that you have been a lot. This 183mm projectile wog 65.8kg and war 76cm long. Die Treibladung-wog 30.7kg and war 68cm long. It is true that they are clean, safe, and safe, with a fast load of 100 kilograms. Grenades can be loaded.

Stage 2: A monster is purchased

The problem with the phase 1 tests is that the back system problem occurs when phase 2 is performed. This offensive upgrade: the L4 cannon is available in no time TowerCompared to damaged armored and modern camp armor, the Turm rises and ignites.

This gives the FV4005 a striking “Frankenstein” look. Man saw the Panzer so softly that this Geschütz did not think of war for that Wanne. Obwohl der Turm monströs aussieht, war der Stahl nur 14mm dunn, weil das Fahrgestell nicht more Weight verkraftet hätte. It is the most important thing that the Besatzung for Splittern and Handfeuerwaffen goes to schützen.

If the damage is repaired, the tower is a lighter disease and the thin armor of other panzers can break the game. The judge of the war, the FV4005 and not the attack of Panzer-Duelle thought of war. There is a sollte, so whoever vom konzept vorgeshen, feindliche Panzer out of safe escape zersören. The FV4005 war is almost a Stand-Off-Wafflenor bevor dieses Konzept modern wurde.

If a hit from the 183mm gun isn’t spot on, the British Army goes out, the Zerstörungskraft empire, to take it Chains feindlicher Panzer zu zerlegen. The Soviet armored cars could no longer forrücken and were “Sitting Ducks” for Flugangriffe or Artilleriebeschuss. In so a fall spricht man von einem „technical Kill“. The British military jargon is a “M-deaths“ – das M steht für Mobility (Mobilität).

Only 12 spades and board

Content includes Phase 2 12 Grenades mitführen. The Ladehilfe was made from Platzmangel. One Mann war for the charge of the projects is another for the charge of the Treibladung.

Weil 12 Schuss sehr few were, sah das Konzept ein Begleitfahrzeug vor. Ein Lkw should carry more ammunition. One of the tanks that uses an armor system and a wind is the projectile and the treibladung that Lkw transport in the tower.

Beim Schießen gab es ähnliche Limitationen who bei Stage 1. The Geschütz must be further or later hinted ausgerichtet signal and hatte now little Grad horizontal Spielraum, weil der Rückstoß the Panzer first umkippen kann. Inspected in 1955 150 Schuss with phase 2 completed. The most beautiful man here speaks of “befriedigenden Ergebnissen”.

The End of the Monster Panzers

I am August 1957 The project FV4005 was nevertheless built in, but the FV215. Due to the rustic political war, the mission of the IS-3 is produced when it already exists. The category of the black army tanks moves from the battlefields and destroys the right-wing for the 183mm gun.

Everything is about a technical Gründe. Through the large and along the history of the 183 mm projects the war is continued probably for crosswind. The maximum amount of effort you can achieve over 2 kilometers inaccurate. Let the charge last for a long time. Within a minute only 2 Schuss to be delivered.

Stattdessen has a man for himself Anti-tank guns. 1958 Führte of the British Army Malkara one of the earliest yellowed panzerabwehrraketen world. The weight head now weighs 26 kg, also as half of the 183 mm projects.

With a war of 4 kilometers, the Reichweite is twice as high and the Präzision is larger. If you enter the war with the platform, you can become more flexible and flexible and you can use a geländewagen. Special for Malkara became der FV1620 Humber Hornet untangled.

What was the prototype?

We have now built a Stage 1 and 2 example of Stage 2 of FV4005. Of all 3 pieces they were made When completed and wieder at the British Armee bzw. for other Versuche eingesetzt. Die Kanonen bzw. Türme wurden an military Forschungseinrichtungen übergeben.

In the 70’s Visit the Royal Military College of Science Tower “The Tank Museum” – the British Armor Museum in Bovington. Dort was there 2007 on a historically uncorrected Wanne eines Centurion Mark 12 recorded.

The Frankenstein Panzer began with the access to the museums. There is a Spitz name „Hoe“. By Harold Hamilton “Spud” Taylor, a WK2 veteran, the FV4005 test program became active in the war. It uses the Freiwilligen, which are carried out in the Werkstatt of the Panzermusea.

The Monster Rolls Again

I am November 2023 the plants were planted Restoration des FV4005 enabled. Dabei acts as a kind of collaboration with the computer game World of tanks and their profession Militärfahrzeug-Restaurator A.W. Hewes.

Wargaming.net, from the publisher of World of Tanks, has spent 20,000 British Pfunds on the project. Mittels Crowdfunding has collected 20,000 British Pfunds – in the last 24 weeks.

The costs that are so small can be a problem Centurion Mark 3 used wurde. It is no longer time for a short description: This spezielle Wanne could not be used for test projects anymore – if it would not be used for the FV4005.

Innerhalb von moreren Monaten wurden Turm and Wanne repairs and restores. Fehlende Teile, wie de Schienensystem, de Winde und Schaufel, wurden anhand der originalen Baupläne nachproduziert. I am June 2024 was the FV4005 carriage.

It was worth refreshing the rundum during the museums’ “Tankfest” at the end of June.
