Chapter 112: Storm MK.V

The weekend that had been so frustrating for Otowa had finally passed, and it was time for school again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although it is said to be a school, Otowa did not enter the school, but directly entered the area where the Ministry of Aviation is located.

In a sense, the Ministry of Aviation is no longer part of the school, but is part of the school's War Games Wing.

"Good morning, Otowaba-san~"

As soon as she entered the ministry, Mika greeted Otowa.

Seeing Mika's innocent smile, Otowa's entanglements during this time were washed away a lot.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. ”

Otowa scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment.

"No, I've just arrived. ”

Mei Xiang, as always, is still very modest.

"It's not too early, let's go get the fighter plane first. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

As early as last Friday, Otowa and Mika had already received the permits needed to extract the fighters, and now they only need to go to the workshop to pick up the fighters. be

There weren't many people around the workshop, one was that Otowa and Mika came too early, and the other was that everyone basically picked up the fighters on Saturday.

After all, the competition is coming up in a few days, and everyone is hurrying up to practice, and Otowa is an outlier among the odds when he runs out to play on weekends.

In other schools, Otowa's behavior is estimated to be sprayed to death, but fortunately, the atmosphere on Oarai's side is relatively free, which doesn't make Otowa the target of public criticism.

After inserting the two cards into the machine in the workshop, the whole machine made a booming sound that lasted for five minutes before stopping.

As the conveyor belt turned, two brand-new Storm MK.Vs were delivered out of the machine.

"It's like magic. ”

No matter how many times I watched it, Otowa felt quite magical.

"Does Otowa-san think it's weird?" Mika tilted her head.

"Sort of. ”

As a time-traveler from the 21st century, Otowa is certainly curious about this kind of black technology. However, Otowa was not interested in figuring out how it worked, and she was more concerned about the new fighter now.

The appearance of the Storm MK.V is not elegant, mainly because the huge liquid cooling system under the nose is too abrupt, which destroys the beauty of the entire fighter.

While not as elegant as the Spitfire, Tempest has a more ferocious feel, more like a machine of destruction designed for war.

"That's really ...... That's amazing. ”

As soon as he entered the cockpit, he was immediately struck by the wide field of vision.

The Tempest features a modern droplet-shaped hatch that protrudes above the fuselage and provides a considerable range of visibility.

The fighter planes that Otowa had flown before made her feel like she was embedded in the fighter planes. Storm, on the other hand, made her feel like she was sticking her head out of the cabin.

"Earned it. ”

Regardless of the specific performance of the fighter, this omnidirectional vision alone makes Otowa feel that it is not a loss.

Better vision means it's easier to spot enemies, which also means it's harder to sneak up on them.

Otowa didn't rush to start the engine, but first opened the tactical panel on the front right, and then turned on the flight assist and teaching mode.

After all, this is the first time Otowa has piloted a British fighter, and she doesn't know how to operate this thing, so at this time, she needs a tactical panel to do on-site teaching.

"Hmm...... First so, then so, in so. ”

Under the guidance of the tactical panel, Otowa successfully completed the cold start of the fighter and ignited the 2000 horsepower Sabre II engine.

Otoba's movements didn't stop, and after starting the engine, she slowly pushed the lever that controlled the throttle valve.

The roar of the engine became louder and the four-bladed propeller spun faster. It didn't take long for the fighter plane to start moving slowly.

After walking out of the workshop door, Otowa first stepped on the right pedal to the bottom. After the rudder hit the far right, the fighter also turned to the right.

Behind Otowa, Mika quickly followed. If Otoha didn't guess wrong, Mika should have memorized the instructions in advance.

The workshop was not far from the runway, and after a few tosses, Otowa drove the fighter onto the runway.

"This is Izumi Otowa, pleading to take off. ”

Although the atmosphere of the Ministry of Aviation is relatively liberal, there are rules that must be followed.

"The tower received it and gave permission to take off. ”

"Understood. ”

After getting a reply from the tower, Otowa pushed the throttle valve directly to the bottom.

The originally gentle engine sound instantly became frenzied, and the fighter began to speed up.

Although the acceleration of the piston fighter of World War II is not as fast as that of modern jets, it is still much faster than that of modern jets.

After feeling that the speed was about the same, Otowa slowly pulled up the joystick. The fighter plane she piloted gradually broke away from the ground and rose into the air.

After climbing to about 3,000 meters, Otowa began its official test run.

As a 4.4-ton heavy fighter, the Storm MK.V is naturally not as agile as the La-11 and Yak-9, but it is much better than the F4U Corsair, which is also a heavy fighter.

However, the Tempest MK.V is not without its advantages, that is, it can still ensure excellent maneuverability at high speeds, and there will be no embarrassing situation of light fighters locking the rudder.

Moreover, the storage speed performance of the Storm MK.V is also very good, and after changing from dive to level flight, the speed drops very slowly, which is also incomparable to light fighters.

Compared to the La-11 used by Otowa before, it can only be said that each has its own strengths, and it cannot be said who is better. After all, the weight difference between the two machines is only 0.4, and there is no essential difference.

Of course, maneuverability is not the only criterion for measuring a fighter.

Another thing that I really like about the Tempest MK.V is that it has a large ammunition load, with a total of 800 rounds of ammunition for each of the four Sispano cannons.

What is the concept of 800 rounds, it is almost 200 rounds per gun, you must know that the three guns used before Otowa only have 225 rounds of ammunition, and the reserve ammunition of one cannon of Storm is almost the top of the three guns of others.

What if the accuracy of the wing cannon is insufficient? The storm has ammunition, and the barrage is casually pulled to hit the cross-section. As long as a few shots are hit, HEFI (high-explosive fragmentation incendiary shells) and HEF-SAPI (semi-armor-piercing high-explosive incendiary fragmentation shells) can directly teach the opposite side to behave.

Although the Sispano MK.V is a truncated version of the MK.II, the muzzle velocity is not slow, at least better than the NS-23 used last time by Otowa.
