When soldiers ran out of the normal oil, they starter pouring in the Pharmaceutical oil, which could not withstand the high temperatures and lead to breakdowns. One of the more peculiar things is that the steering system used a special type of oil that only this tank used (because the steering system was quite an old complex system and endured a lot of stress) It also had the same name as a type of medical oil. So these divisions did indeed need to be supplied with different types of fuel. The B1's would later be combined with the infantry tanks in breaktrough divisions. As often in French tank design, the design came earlier than the doctrine. Their range on one fuel tank was extremely limited, so they also needed to refuel often.

The cannon was fed from an ammunition bin behind the cockpit. The 7.5cm gun was fed by an auto-loader system with initially twelve rounds, which was later expanded to 26 rounds. The 3.7cm cannon pod was replaced with the 7.5cm gun from a Panzer IV! Another version replaced the 3cm cannon pod with an array of four additional 7.62mm machine guns, for a total of six machine-guns and two 20mm cannons.īy 1944, it was apparent that the 3.7cm cannon was too old for tank-busting duty, and the Hs 129B3 received a massive firepower upgrade. With these engines, the Hs 129B2 was equipped with two 7.92mm machine-guns and two 20mm cannon in nose. After the fall of France, German engineers fitted a pair of French Gnome-Rhône 14M radial engines and the Hs 129 Panzerknacker began its stunning military service career. The first variants of the Hs 129 proved to be underpowered. Following its involvement in the Spanish Civil War, the Luftwaffe, or German Air Force, decided that it needed a purpose-built close ground-attack aircraft.Ī Henschel design eventually won the contract and the Hs 129 ‘Panzerknacker’ (or, ‘Tank Buster’) entered service in December 1941.
