Chapter 364: Hiding from Thunder
"Finally arrived safely. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Looking at the fleet in the telescope, Arisa couldn't help but sigh.
Compared with when the Draco left, the current main fleet not only has a few fewer ships, but the surviving ships also have a lot of colors on them, and it is obvious that they have suffered a lot in the air raid just now.
"How long is the game?"
Lorraine spoke slowly as he took control of the servo.
"I'll take a look at ......" Arisa glanced at the tactical panel, then continued, "There are about 2 hours left before the fleet arrives at the extraction point. ”
"Two hours? If the other side doesn't take the initiative to fight, I feel like we can still take two or three rounds of air raids. ”
"That's pretty much it. Arisa nodded.
In fact, the venue of the competition is so large, the location of the opposite aircraft carrier is not too far, and the time required to send and receive carrier-based aircraft is not much longer.
……
At a high speed of 30 knots, the Tenryu soon converged with the main forces. After slightly adjusting the course of the ship, Otowa's ship became a member of the escort fleet.
"The other side didn't actually shoot at the escort target. ”
Looking at the unscathed merchant ship in the center of the fleet, Otowa spoke in some surprise.
The condition for victory on the opposite side is to destroy the escort target, and in her opinion, the opposite side should give priority to the gathering of fire.
"Because the anti-aircraft fire on the merchant ships is a bit strong. Arisa smiled, then continued, "Each merchant ship is equipped with 10 20mm twin Erly anti-aircraft guns, although the AI's gunnery skills are average, but it is still enough to deal with biplanes. ”
First of all, the biplane is slow and can easily be hit by anti-aircraft fire, and secondly, the structural strength is average, and any 20mm shell can knock it out of the air.
"If you forcibly drop a bomb, even if you can sink a merchant ship on the other side, you will lose a lot of aircraft, so it can be said that the gain outweighs the loss. Arisa continued.
"Well, wouldn't it be nice to let all the ships hide in the air defense circle of the merchant ships?" Otoha tilted his head slightly.
"There have been people who have done this before, and the end result is that it didn't take long for the air defense circle of the merchant ship to be cut to 1km. Arisa sighed, and continued: "Now the anti-aircraft fire on the merchant ship will not open fire unless the plane approaches within a kilometer of the merchant ship. ”
"That's a shame. ”
Although he said so, there was no trace of regret on Otoha's face.
The War Games League's balance team has always been very responsive, and basically whenever there is a game that is too IMBA, they will immediately correct the rules of the game, and will not give others a chance to use the routine to score points.
For example, not long after Otowa last rushed into someone's aircraft carrier to kill people, the balance team immediately banned all the girls' guns, and the rules that had lasted for more than ten years were changed.
Not long after the two of them had finished their small talk, the tactical panel in the bridge flashed again.
"The destroyers, reconnoitering in the outer circle, spotted the enemy's air group...... Isn't it?" Arisha's eyes widened, and she said in amazement, "The attack is coming so fast, is this the other side driving the aircraft carrier in our faces?
The time required to prepare the carrier-based aircraft is not very long, and most of the time of the aircraft is actually wasted on the road.
As long as the aircraft carrier takes the initiative to approach the attack target and shortens the flight time required by the carrier-based aircraft, the attack speed can be greatly increased.
However, this is not without a cost, that is, it greatly increases the risk of the aircraft carrier being attacked, and it can be regarded as a gain and a loss.
"There are about three minutes left before the arrival of the group, speed up the engines, and prepare for the air attack!"
Arisa was still very qualified as a prospective captain, and immediately gave the corresponding order.
Then again, all this boat girl can do now is prepare to dodge bombs and torpedoes.
There is no way, a ship with poor air defense can only do RBQ in front of the aircraft.
Before the air defense operation began, Loran suddenly turned around and looked at the girls behind him.
"Let's all move to the cabin first, and I'll just stay here alone. ”
The Tenryu's conning tower has no protection, and a single round of strafing from the fighter can take away all the girls inside, and there is no way to do it on Otowa's side.
Last time, the opposite side strafed the bridge of the Tenryu, and there is no reason not to repeat it this time.
And the conning tower can't afford to leave people behind, no matter how good the maneuverability of the Tenryu is, if no one is at the helm, it will still be the target of torpedo bombs.
"Please. ”
Arisa was also aware of the current situation, so she did not stop Loraine.
In the case of the imminent enemy aircraft group, the girls in the bridge did not waste time, and quickly evacuated to the cabin in an orderly manner.
……
"At 3 o'clock, a few fighters are coming towards us, be careful to avoid it!"
Since most of the girls had retreated to the cabin, the people in charge of observing the surroundings had become the Otowa in the first turret.
The Tenryu's artillery shield is still very useful, and it usually observes the surroundings from the rear, and once a fighter comes to strafe, Otowa can immediately retreat into the shield.
The 25mm shield is pretty reliable, not to mention the 7.62mm water gun on the F4B, and the P-38's 20mm cannon cannons don't necessarily penetrate it.
"It's a torpedo machine, be careful!"
As the enemy planes approached, Otowa also saw the incoming enemy planes clearly.
"Understood. ”
Loren nodded, and then quickly turned the servo in front of him.
As a pseudo-destroyer, the Tianlong was naturally quite fast in rudder, and in a few seconds, Luo Lan made a left full rudder.
In the case of a single ship dealing with an enemy attack, of course, it is necessary to keep ASS against the enemy as much as possible. The advantage of this is that it can make it more difficult for the opposite side to catch the attack window, and gain a chance for the ship's anti-aircraft fire to be exported.
Although the anti-aircraft fire on the Draco was the same as that of Tan90°, Loren still adopted this evasion method under his habit.
"Enemy planes are approaching from our right side, don't give them a chance. ”
"Look at me. ”
After Loren finished speaking, he spun the servo in front of him again.
The rudder speed of the Tenryu is very fast, and the rudder effect is also very good. In the case of the average speed of the biplane torpedo plane on the opposite side, Loren dodged back and forth.
And the posture level of the torpedo pilots on the opposite side doesn't seem to be very good, although they are finally divided into two teams to throw cross-mines, but they are a little worse in coordination, and they can always let Loren catch the loophole and run away.
"It's almost time to give up on the other side, right?"
Looking at the several enemy planes circling around the ship, Otowa couldn't help but sigh.
There are so many iron turtles on the opposite side that don't fight, but the Tenryu that runs flexibly like a destroyer, anyway, Otowa can't understand the operation on the other side.
