"As long as there are enough artillery and reconnaissance planes left, it doesn't matter if all the remaining planes are replaced, it doesn't matter how many of them we have left, the important thing is to leave the British without planes available!" Finally, the prince added an additional note!

Weakening the aviation interception force of the British is only the first step, at this time it is absolutely impossible to send aviation units to attack, do not think that the depth of the battle line is very small, in fact, in the historical Jutland period, the distance between Betty's fast fleet and the main fleet is about 40KM! And considering the distance between Betty and Hipper, which is more than ten kilometers, and considering the distance between Scheer's main fleet and Hipper's fleet, ....... Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The main fleets of the two sides were 80 kilometers apart before the battle, and there was no problem at all!

Is this distance big? Naturally it's big! What is the concept of 80 km? Based on the current range of carrier-based torpedo aircraft with bombs, this is almost the limit of attack ....... Because when the new generation torpedo aircraft carries the second generation torpedo, the maximum attack range does not exceed 100 kilometers....... No way! The performance of the aircraft in this era is too bad, plus a 580KG torpedo, the weight of this torpedo machine is less than 2 tons ....... How much oil do you want it to hold?

But you say it's a long distance? In fact, it is not necessarily, if the two fleets are close at a speed of 40 knots, the two sides can collide in less than 1 hour! Therefore, the current aviation force is very embarrassing because although the range of the aircraft has far exceeded that of naval guns, it is still too short. Although the speed of the aircraft is fast, the cruising speed of the bomb is definitely not twice that of a fast battleship. That's right, you read that right! In fact, the cruising speed of these attack aircraft bombs is less than 3 figures! Slower than the high-speed cars in the future!

The prince and his subordinates, who were constantly deducing on the charts, then discovered another questionable question: whether the aircraft carrier detachment should act together with the main fleet. There was no in-depth study at the beginning, so it was considered that the issue was not important, anyway the aircraft carrier was on the non-combating side of the fast fleet. The destroyers and light cruisers of the British would not have directly penetrated the German High Seas Fleet and then cleaned up the aircraft carrier with torpedoes or naval guns, right? If the British really have this ability, then they will be a fool!

But then, after some deduction at the air port, they thought that the coordination of the two fleets was a little difficult! Because the attack aircraft had a relatively short range, they could only be released after the two sides had engaged. Battleship detachments had to find a good position by maneuvering frequently before engagement. And what about aircraft carriers? They need to sail in a straight line for at top speed for at least 20 minutes against ...... wind.

Because only in this case can carrier-based aircraft take off with maximum efficiency, what is this concept? Probably a fleet sailing 15 kilometers in one go in a certain direction! And then, you tell me, in this case, how can the two fleets be coordinated? Once the main fleet is unable to protect these aircraft carriers, then the probability of the British rushing up to light cruisers with a speed of almost 30 knots and destroyers with a speed of more than 30 knots is quite large! What are you going to do then? Do auxiliary warships cover the main fleet or aircraft carriers?

Therefore, the safest way is to keep a distance, so that the other party can't touch it, or even can't see it! And in this case, it is required that the aircraft carrier fleet be at least a few tens of kilometers away from the main fleet! In this case, the British fleet would theoretically not be able to penetrate the huge frontage constructed by the German fleet. At least from the surface and air directions, the aircraft carrier is safe.

So good, is the problem solved? Naturally, it didn't work! Back to the previous question! The range of the attack aircraft is not enough! You have determined that the aircraft carrier detachment should be in the rear of the main fleet, so how far apart can it take into account the range while ensuring the safety of the aircraft carrier? Considering that when the fast fleets of the two sides meet, the main fleet is 80 kilometers apart, which is normal. And then you have to pull the aircraft carrier behind your own main fleet, I'm afraid the distance between the aircraft carrier and the opponent's main fleet is more than 100 kilometers, right?

So, the prince encountered a new problem, the question of when the carrier-based aircraft forces would attack! After the avant-garde battle between the two sides, there may be a battle, or one side may choose to evacuate directly, if the main fleets of the two sides plan to take a picture, then the distance between the two sides will quickly approach! The prince believed that it would not be difficult for the parties to find the location of each other's main fleet, and in addition to seaplanes, the British had V1500s, and the Germans had airships. Historically, aviation reconnaissance is not too reliable, but in this plane, intensive and frequent aviation reconnaissance can at least dig out the main fleets of both sides! (Visibility is not too miserable)

Then the two fleets should meet in about 1 hour, and then the prince's aviation staff officer waved his fingers and began to calculate the time, it would take about 20 minutes for the plane to be released, and it would take 20 minutes for the plane to complete the formation, and then it would fly over ....... Theoretically, when the two fleets meet, their own planes just arrive, what a setting this setting is!

However, this is just theory! Let's not talk about how complicated the situation is in the actual battle, but in an ideal situation, the plane passed, and looking at the battle line spread by the British for more than ten kilometers, and the capital ships with more than 2 dozen, which one do you fight? Yes, if you fight casually, you can, but what the prince needs is a key node to attack the British! You're worth more than you can throw a torpedo on a Queen or Vengeance-class battleship than a ship like that is still on Dreadnought or Neptune!

Although in this era, even if the improved armor-piercing shells are loaded with shells, they may not be able to penetrate the horizontal armor of the battleship, but the huge charge is enough to destroy the fragile precision equipment on the ship's surface, such as rangefinders, communication equipment, etc., and if the main rangefinder of a battleship is destroyed, then the combat effectiveness will be reduced a lot, even if there is a spare one on the main turret!

In order to ensure this, you need to find out these things from the battle line, and it is not enough to rely on the information provided by the main fleet, after all, it is dozens of kilometers apart, and it is indeed difficult to confirm the ship type even if you zoom in more than 30 times from the ranging above. Plus smoke screens and fires when artillery fires. In fact, in history, the British Grand Fleet was forced to suspend firing because of the large smoke screen during artillery firing.

Therefore, reconnaissance is required before the sortie of carrier-based attack aircraft. Once the opponent's battle line has unfolded, identify important targets. Then the carrier-based aircraft is guided to carry out an attack on the selected target. It also takes time. And the airtime of the aircraft is limited, and in order to save fuel for the attack aircraft, you have to delay the take-off time. So, under all the constraints, the prince wrote the second article of aviation operations!
