Chapter 128: Set Sail
Early in the morning, Otowa and Mika were woken up by the electric bell in the room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fortunately, they went to bed early last night, and if it were according to Otowa's normal schedule, they probably wouldn't be able to get up now.
Otowa and Mika first went to the restaurant for breakfast, the food on the ship is still good, it should be said that the food in the 22nd century is good, basically you can eat anything you want to let the machine make for you.
After breakfast, it was almost time to assemble.
When the two arrived at the hangar, there were already quite a few people waiting.
"You two, it's too slow!"
As soon as Otowa and Mika entered the group, Betty at the front of the group shouted.
"It's still half a minute before the scheduled time, so why are you in a hurry!"
The concept of time of the people of District 11 is completely unreflected in Otowa, and she has to drag out everything she does to the end, which is an out-and-out late stage of procrastination.
In Otowa words, arriving early is a waste of life, and only arriving at the last minute can avoid waste, saving a lot of 1s.
"Now that we're all here, let's hurry up and board our respective fighters. Betty paused, then continued, "This time we won't strike one by one like last time, but we will fly all the planes at once. ”
Sara, as a regular air carrier, is naturally much stronger than Saipan's striking ability, not to mention anything else, the 270-meter-long deck is not comparable to Saipan's 209-meter.
The 270-meter-long deck is the first of World War II, the Essex class is only 266 meters, and the Kaga of the same era is only 247 meters long.
With such a long deck, it would not be difficult for a roadbed fighter to land, not to mention that Otowa is still flying a fighter jet from the American Navy.
Without wasting much time, Otowa boarded her fighter jet straight onto her.
The Panda also uses a bubble-shaped cockpit with a fairly good view.
The cockpit of Britain and the United States is really poisonous, and once you have experienced the omnidirectional vision of capitalism, I am afraid that you will never be able to return to the poisonous cockpit of fascism.
Under the handling of the ground crew, the 30 fighters of the Oarai Aviation Department were quickly moved onto the deck.
This time the big wash is almost all cannon cats, after all, there are only a few fighters in 6.3, and the homogenization is very serious, and you can't play truth, goodness and beauty if you want to.
The Cannon Cat is the only HNA fighter in 6.3, plus the original performance of the Cannon Cat is good, so Oarai is naturally the all-selective Cannon Cat.
Of course, there is one person who would never choose a cannon cat.
In front of a bunch of cannon cats, there are two particularly conspicuous Fw190D-13s. It doesn't take a second thought to know that this must be Betty's fighter plane, and her wingman.
As a German stick with ideals and beliefs, Betty will never give up the German fighter at any time, even if he has to suffer a heavy loss.
In addition, Oarai's troops this time are not all fighters, and there are also six AD-2 Sky Raiders.
The six Skyraiders were mainly used as torpedo bombers, so they all carried a Mark 13/44 torpedo.
However, the bomb load of the Skyraider is so large, it is too wasteful to carry only a one-ton torpedo. But it's not appropriate to hang a bomb again, after all, there is basically no height after dropping the torpedo, how to throw a bomb?
Since the bomb will not work, then the only way to hang rockets is to hang them.
Don't think that rockets can only blow up tanks, as long as the yield is large enough, rockets can also be used to blast ships.
The U.S. imperialist's Tiny Tim rocket has a caliber of 298mm and weighs 583 kilograms, and judging from the appearance alone, Otowa thought it was some kind of air-launched anti-ship missile.
This rocket was originally designed for anti-ship and anti-submarine purposes, after all, the charge was placed there, and the destroyer was enough to choke on one shot.
And the most important thing is that this thing can shoot horizontally, and it doesn't conflict with torpedoes, which can be said to be quite easy to use.
Two "Little Tims", a Mark 13/44 torpedo, also weigh 2 tons, but this weight is not much for the AD-2 Sky Raider.
You must know that the complete body of this thing is 12 HVAR rockets + 2 small Tim rockets + 2000 pound bombs, which adds up to 2.8 tons, and the bomb load is larger than the Tu-2S used in the last competition of Oarai Women's College.
The Tu-2S is a twin-engine bomber, while the AD-2 Skystriker is a single-engine attack aircraft, about the size of a fighter.
In addition to torpedo bombers, dive bombers are also indispensable for bombing aircraft carriers.
Although the AD-2 Sky Raider can also double as a dive bomber, Oarai does not have more AD-2 Sky Raiders on his side.
The reason is also very simple, because if there are too many attack aircraft, the number of fighters will be affected.
The number of fighters is guaranteed in any case, and for Betty, the destruction of the opposing fleet is important, and victory in air combat is no less important.
So who will be the dive bomber, naturally it is the countless F8F-1B Pandas here in Oarai.
As an American fighter, the Panda naturally continues the fine tradition of the United States, and can also be used as an excellent bomber of the United States.
Its bomb load is also quite violent, although it is not as ghostly as the Sky Raider, but it is forced to believe it or not, I just hang three 1000-pound bombs on it?
Betty let 12 pandas hang a single 2,000-pound bomb, which directly turned a top-level ship battle like the Cannon Cat into a top-level ship explosion.
The dive performance of the Panda is still very good, and it is no problem to use it as a dive bomber.
The destructive power of a 2,000-pound bomb is also undoubted, and the last time Otowa blasted the opposite aircraft carrier with a 1,000-pound bomb, the effect of doubling the charge of 2,000 pounds will naturally only be better.
With 6 torpedoes, 12 small Tiems, and 12 2,000-pound bombs, Otowa felt that the aircraft carrier on the opposite side was really bad luck this time.
"Okay, let's go~"
With that, Betty let her Fw190D-13 kick in.
As the Minister of Aviation, Betty's fighter plane was at the front of the line, and naturally it was the first to take off.
One by one, the fighters on Oarai's side left the deck, and soon it was Otowa and Mika's turn.
Otowa didn't hesitate, and directly pushed the handle of the control throttle valve to the bottom.
The engine used by the Panda is also the R-2800, which is the same engine as the Corsair F4U-1A that Otowa flew before. However, the processing of the Panda R-2800-34W is much larger than that of the Corsair R-2800-8W, with an output of 2100 horsepower without the use of water jet afterburner, and the output can even go up to 2400 horsepower after turning on the water jet afterburner.
With such a powerful heart, the acceleration of the panda's take-off is simply not too fierce, and even Otoha is taken aback.
