Chapter 529: Prejudgment
"Do as Otoha says. ”
Shizuku's voice is not very loud, but it is full of power.
The captain of the ship is not something that everyone can do, and as the leader of dozens of people on a ship, he has to show the ability corresponding to the leader.
"Shizuku, you're favoring her too much. ”
Arisa complained, but asked the helmsman to change the ship's course.
Maybe in her heart, there is also a trace of expectation for Otowa, right?
With the help of the steering gear, the Cleveland's course quickly changed, and they were originally parallel to the enemy ship, but now they had an angle of about 40 degrees.
Although the speed of escape has dropped considerably, the two turrets in the bow of the ship can finally come in handy.
"I won't let you down. ”
After Otowa finished speaking, he quickly operated the tactical panel with one hand.
Although these four Tashkent-class ships are very flexible, their trajectories are all in accordance with the Basic Law, and they will not make strange maneuvers like UFOs.
If that's the case, then maybe there are traces to follow.
This time, Otowa didn't let the ship's guns fire together, but fired the shells one turret at a time.
The destroyer at the head of the ship immediately began to evade the cannonball, but at this time, another turret on the Cleveland fired a cannonball, forcing the AI to continue to steer.
"Sure enough......"
The AI seems to have a regular way of dodging shells, and it seems that they will choose the direction of evasion based on where the shells land, but they seem to be determined to catch up with their own ship, and then they will not make the evasion range too large.
After discovering this pattern, Otowa immediately put it into practice.
The four turrets on the Cleveland took turns firing shells, the first round of shells being dodged by the enemy ship, and the second round of shells overpowering the enemy ship to the limit of its evasion range.
The third round of shells seemed to have calculated the course of the enemy ship's turn, and two of the three shells hit its deck, blowing up an anti-aircraft gun that had been placed there.
"It works!"
Looking at the trajectory of the enemy ship's movements, Otowa couldn't help but wave his fist.
AI is AI, it only maneuvers according to programmes, and it doesn't have the ability to adapt to changes like humans. Otowa only needs to sacrifice the first 6 shells, and the last 6 shells have a great chance of hitting the target.
Once you have mastered the rules, it will be much more comfortable to fight these AIs.
The amount of fire projected by the 6-inch cannon was quite terrifying, and even if most of the shells fell into the sea, the number of shells hitting enemy ships per minute was still not a small number.
Under the heavy blow of Otowa, the Tashkent-class destroyer that took the lead was quickly taken seriously.
Although this thing has a displacement of almost 3,000 tons, it is only a destroyer after all, and its armor is very weak.
Even a high-explosive bomb could do tons of damage to this thing, and within a few minutes the Tashkent-class was seriously damaged, and the two turrets in the bow were blown into the sky.
After confirming that the ship had been destroyed, Otowa immediately shifted the target and focused its fire on another destroyer.
Cleveland's speed was already 10 knots slower than the other side, and now it was forced to drag the knife, and it would definitely not take long to catch up, and then there would definitely be a bloody battle.
What Otowa has to do now is to cripple the enemy as much as possible before this moment comes, so as to create an advantage for his side in the final battle.
……
"It's terrifying, it's not human at all. ”
After seeing Otowa's tactics, Kelly couldn't help but tremble.
If you can calculate the law of action of the AI, you can also card this subtle timing and force the output...... Is this really human? It's not a high-fidelity robot or something.
"I feel like I've seen fake naval battles before......"
Sophia pulled her handkerchief out of her pocket and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Otowa allows them to see new operations every time, showing things that no one else can do at all, and it's almost impossible to make it possible.
In addition to them, the others were also confused when watching the game.
The people who had just been teleported out were now convinced, Otowa's artillery skills were really terrifying, even if they could get the first place without such means, they didn't lose at all.
In the time they sighed, Otowa had managed to wreck the second destroyer.
The two main turrets at the front of the Tashkent class are arranged very close together, and with a bit of luck, a single high-explosive bomb can nullify all of its forward firepower.
With the loss of the two turrets in the bow, the Tashkent class was left with only a twin 130mm gun and a twin 76mm anti-aircraft gun in the stern, and the firepower dropped a lot in an instant.
However, the sacrifice of these two destroyers was not in vain, and the fleet finally caught up with the Cleveland.
The guns of the two remaining Tashkent-class ships spat out tongues of fire and fired eight 130mm shells at enemy ships in the distance.
Three of the eight shells in the first round hit the target, one of which hit the chimney of the Cleveland, blowing up a 20mm Erlikong cannon next to it.
This seems to be a bit too much, but Otowa can't say anything, because the shelling on their side is more accurate.
After entering within 10 kilometers, the trajectory of the six-inch cannon was much straighter, and Otowa was finally able to fire accurate salvos.
Although a Tashkent-class wanted to avoid it, it was still confused by 152mm shells, and a lot of equipment was blown to pieces.
In addition to the main guns, the secondary guns on the Cleveland also worked, and the four 5-inch guns on this side were aimed at the enemy ship and fired shells frantically.
Although the charge of a 5-inch shell was only about half that of a 6-inch shell, the damage was still explosive for a destroyer with little protection.
The two sides began to fire at each other, and that's when the Cleveland's armor came into play.
Although the 130mm high-explosive shell can damage various equipment on the Cleveland class, it cannot damage the main turret and conning tower, which are heavily armoured.
Even with the fire burning on the hull, Keta's four main turrets were still firing back.
War games are quite realistic, and not as magical as Vovos, where a ship of its size can be sunk by flames in a matter of minutes.
Boom –
A Tashkent-class torpedo launcher was concentrated by shells, and the torpedo loaded inside was unfortunately detonated.
Although the charge of the 533mm torpedo was not as good as that of the 610mm acid torpedo, the violent explosion directly blew the destroyer in two.
It is not for nothing that the US imperialists do not equip the new cruisers with torpedo launchers, and this thing is not only not used in many cases, but also has the possibility of taking itself away in waves.
"Well played!"
Looking at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance, Arisa couldn't help but cry out.
They have also been expelled by these four ships during this time, and now they see that one of them has been sunk by Otowa, and the morale in the bridge is instantly high.
