Chapter 101: The Choice of Fighters
The German 5.7 is the FW190D-9 and TA-152H-1/C-3, both of which are relatively strong fighters in this class. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Among them, the FW190D-9, the famous "Dora", weighs 3.5 tons empty, and can be called the queen of the 190 series in terms of speed and high-altitude performance. On the basis of the A8, the Junkers Jumo213A-1Vee 12-cylinder liquid-cooled engine replaced the BMW air-cooled engine, using MW50 methanol injection afterburner, the maximum output reached 2240 horsepower at 1500 meters, and still had 1880 horsepower at 5000 meters, which was comparable to the later models of the P-51 Mustang and Spitfire.
It is armed with two MG131 machine guns mounted on the hood and two MG151/20 cannons at the wing roots.
"The advantages of the FW190D-9 are that it is fast, rolls fast, and has good storage speed and climbing, but the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the rotation rate is not good and the turning radius is large. ”
In general, the FW190D-9 is a very standard heavy fighter, and a heavy fighter has all the advantages and disadvantages that it should have.
The Ta152 is a high-altitude fighter developed on the basis of the 190 series, using a Jumo 213E (three-speed two-stage turbocharged) engine and equipped with an MK108/30mm cannon. The almost completely new design, with a large wingspan, flew higher and faster than any opponent that could be encountered in the air at the time, and still performed well at 10,000 meters, reaching a ceiling of 12,000 meters. Once, the chief designer Dr. TANK drove the Ta152 and encountered a P-51D siege, and simply turned on the afterburner and ran wildly to save the day. Because it appeared at the end of World War II, the production and results were very small.
The TA152H-1 has a 30mm MK108 axis gun plus two 20mm MG151/20 cannons at the wing roots, while the TA152C-3 has one 30mm MK103 axis gun and four 20mm MG151/20 cannons.
Due to the small magnification of the MK108, the muzzle velocity of the shell is not high, and it is often jokingly called the potato launcher, but the power is really not black.
The MK103 does not have this problem because it is a long-barreled cannon, so it is better to be TA152C-3 in terms of firepower. However, the additional weapon also adds a lot of weight, so the performance is still better than the TA152H-1.
"The TA152 has the advantage of more firepower, speed, and high-altitude performance, but it is not as agile as the FW190D. ”
The weight of the TA152's fuselage reaches an astonishing 4.2 tons, and it can even reach 5.1 tons when fully fueled.
After the German system is the Soviet system, and in the 5.7 position of the Soviet system are the Yak-9UT and the La-9.
The Yak-9U was replaced with an all-metal wing and a full-fuselage metal skin, which was the famous Yak-9UT, but unfortunately, the war ended before the aircraft entered the war.
The Yak-9UT engine is still the VK-107A of the Yak-9U, but due to various optimizations, the performance is better than that of the Yak-9U.
The biggest feature of the aircraft is firepower, which is equipped with a 23mm NS-23 shaft gun by default, plus two 20mm B-20S cannons.
In addition to this firepower configuration, it is also possible to choose a configuration of one 37mm N-37 shaft gun and two 20mm B-20S cannons, and of course, a 45mm NS-45 shaft gun and a 20mm B-20S configuration is also possible.
"The Yak-9UT has the excellent operability of the Yak-9 family, and thanks to the VK-107A engine, the Yak-9UT is not slow. ”
For the Yak-9 series, Otowa still has a lot of good feelings, after all, the socialist star destroyer cannon is not too cool.
As for the La-9, the aerodynamic layout and shape characteristics of the La-7 are basically maintained, and the main improvement is the use of all-metal structure and laminar flow airfoil.
Compared with the La-11 used by Otowa before, the La-9 has an additional 23mm gun, and its front-firing firepower reaches the frenzied 4*23mm NS-23, which can fire 7.9kg shells per second.
In addition, since the La-11 does not have to carry as much fuel as the La-11, the La-9 also performs slightly better.
"The performance of the La-9 is similar to the La-11 we used before, but there are still only 75 rounds of ammunition per gun. ”
This bomb load is so painful that Otowa has to be quite careful every time he fires, and he doesn't even dare to fire without absolute certainty.
Otowa was a little psychologically overshadowed, and if she could, she really didn't want to choose this thing.
After the Soviet line, there is the British Spitfire FMK.18E, Spitfire FMK.XIVC, Sea Fury FB.11, plus Tempest MK.V.
The basic performance of the Spitfire 14C and the 5.3 Spitfire 14E is about the same, and in terms of firepower, it is not even as good as the 14E (four 7.7mm vs. two 12.7mm), and there is no modern bubble cockpit canopy of the 14E, I really don't know how it got to the 5.7 position.
Compared with the Spitfire 18 and Spitfire 14, there is probably an extra fuel tank, and the specific difference is actually not big, and the firepower configuration is still two 20mm Sispano MK.II and two 12.7mm Browning machine guns.
With 120 rounds per Mencispano and 250 rounds per Browning, the ammunition is generally very adequate.
It's a pity that the weapons are all arranged on the wings, and the shooting accuracy will be reduced.
"While the two Spitfires are barely an improvement over the 5.3 Jet 14E, they are still strong at the 5.7 thanks to the Griffin engine. ”
The Griffin Spitfire not only has high speed, but also has quite good agility, and is quite strong in all aspects. Even in 5.7, it's still an option worth considering.

PS1: There is one more more, don't worry~
PS2: The matter of the shelves has been decided, it is March 1st of next month, and the update will definitely stabilize by then, so you can rest assured.
