Clearly, in this timeline, Ante had also inherited this approach, but Wang Zhong wasn't about to let them continue—at least not with this 100mm carrier vehicle.
Wang Zhong, "No, no, no, reduce its functions, just do what I need it to do, an elevation of 18 degrees is enough, the depression can be increased a bit, to 9 degrees."
The data Wang Zhong provided was the elevation and depression range of the Tiger tank: -9 to 18 degrees.
"This..." Ke Jing hesitated.
Wang Zhong, "I'll add it to the technical parameters I proposed. I only mentioned the depression angle before because I hadn't realized you were actually considering having it fired in a high arc."
By saying this, he effectively took the responsibility upon himself, and Ke Jing immediately expressed no objections.
Wang Zhong continued, "The elevation and traverse ranges don't need to be hydraulic anymore, dismantle the hydraulic system and switch to manual cranks."
