Chapter 1129: The Precursor of the Aircraft Carrier 3
As for the bomber? If you take a 250KG bomb and throw it in a shallow charge, if you can hit the flower, you can set a fire, but you want to penetrate the core cabin? Let's wash and sleep on this. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info not enough angle, not enough speed, and not enough weight, why do you break through?! If you really dare to play a large-angle dive, it is estimated that the plane will disintegrate before it hits, no way, the strength is not enough! You can't expect a thing with a combat weight of just over a ton to be so strong, it's not scientific! And if you can't dive at a wide angle, the accuracy of the attack is also a problem!
And these are only problems of technical difficulty, there is another problem that cannot be ignored is the training and skills of personnel. The so-called human quality is an elusive and difficult thing to achieve quickly! For example, throwing torpedoes, in fact, torpedoes are not as stupid as the appearance, they can be made! The projection of aviation torpedoes has requirements, such as the speed should not be too fast, and the altitude should not be too negative, otherwise the torpedo may fail due to impact when it is like water.
As for dive bombing, NB's dive bomber crew can achieve a hit rate of more than 80 percent in a certain battle against the sea. As for the rookies, there are hundreds of sorties that may not have hit a few shots in the past. This is a very terrifying situation with both the upper and lower limits, so it is still possible for the prince to make one or two attack aircraft units with decent skills based on the personnel he trained before, but if you want to mass-produce like in World War 2? That's impossible! Bavaria is just a kingdom after all!
One of the very important reasons why the prince has been able to get to this day on the technology tree of an aircraft carrier is that he is forward-looking and prepared. When it comes to torpedo bombing and training of bombers and pilots, as well as take-off and landing on aircraft carriers, the prince started to do it before the war, how many years has it been ?! And it is precisely because of these hard or soft conditions that the British cannot copy, the British have a lot of aircraft, but you don't have a prepared aircraft carrier, it takes time to change ships, and more importantly, the exploration of tactics and training, which is more difficult to solve than technical problems. It is estimated that by the time the British settle it, the 1st World War will have already ended, do you really think that you will have a combat effectiveness by hanging torpedoes and bombs? Too young, too simple! Don't say anything else, just talk about navigation, how do you solve it? How to guide an aircraft to fly beyond visual distance to attack a target and back again. 2 battles often do not find targets, not to mention the ...... of 1 battles.
Therefore, the prince's positioning of aircraft carriers is an important auxiliary force, in the early stage, it is to contain the reconnaissance operations of the British and enhance their own reconnaissance capabilities, and in the later stage, it is to provide limited attack power. For example, attacking a battleship that has been heavily damaged, or interfering with the formation of the British fleet. There is also the problem of anti-submarine. Constantly circling on the surface of the sea, so that the submarine does not dare to show its head.
"Does this really matter?" The Kaiser frowned and said, still a little hesitant.
"You can ask the admirals of the fleet, who now have a greater dislike for the planes buzzing in their heads than the submarines of the British, only behind the Grand Fleet." The prince said.
"Okay, I agree to add two more, but we can't rebuild the hull, you can pick a suitable ship from the cruise ship or any other ship in the harbor and refit it, I can also provide the aircraft and pilots, for now I will provide a wing, but the training is up to you. As for the funding, I can allocate some of it first, but you're going to have to come up with a good enough record lately. After all, now that the North Sea blockade line is closed again, the Empire's resources are very tight, and the army has repeatedly asked for a reduction in naval spending. The Kaiser thought for a moment and said.
"No problem, the winter truce will last for several months, there will not be much activity on the Eastern Front, the Bavarian Army will still prepare for the big battle next year, and I just have time to deal with the North Sea problem." The prince said.
As for the shortage of supplies? That's for sure, but the situation of the empire is much stronger now than it was in history, and it was able to hold out for 4 years at that time, let alone now. The prince didn't pay much attention to the Kaiser's statement at first. In fact, by now, the goal of the Kaiser's meeting with the prince had been achieved, and the navy had received a grant for the construction of aircraft carriers, and at the same time promised the Kaiser a retaliatory strike against the Royal Navy.
"Okay, then the affairs of the navy will be left to you, as long as you don't ask for additional funds, then you can handle general matters. As for the fleet sortie? Just let me know before you strike, and I'm sure you'll be able to do the job well. The Kaiser said.
"And what about the size of the Naval Aviation Department?" The prince thought for a moment and said.
"How about the Imperial Air Force can provide 3 wings, and the Bavarian Air Force with 1 wing? Started as a land-based aviation department. Wait until your so-called aircraft carrier is finished, weave into a carrier-based aircraft wing. As for the expansion of the scale in the future, we will discuss it then? The Kaiser said.
"So let's do it first." The prince calculated in his heart that there were nearly 400 planes in the four wings, and there were more than 300 planes in the four wings, excluding the one wing that was preparing to board the aircraft carrier, and these planes were more than enough to defend Wilhelmshaven in the North Sea. As for the Port of Kiel? Well, the Maozi Aviation 1 battle against ship attack capabilities is almost negligible, and it is enough to deal with water aircraft. Not to mention the fact that the Russian Air Force had just been massacred once by the Bavarian Air Force. Nothing will be done in the short term.
"Can we open the North Sea Passage again?" At the end of the meeting, Wilhelm II asked.
"You can give it a try, but I'm afraid it may not work once." The prince said carefully. This is not a casual remark, if you want to break the blockade line in the North Sea, the key is not the Grand Fleet, because you will definitely not be able to fight the Grand Fleet, so don't consider this issue. The problem is still that the British deployed the fast fleet in Forth Bay, if a war can bring five British fast battleships out of the combat sequence, whether they are sunk or damaged. Then the blockade of the North Sea will be automatically lifted, and the Grand Fleet will take over the heavily damaged fast fleet to defend the British coastal waters.
"Let's hit it twice, then." The Kaiser said without hesitation.
"Hehe, that's easy enough." The prince said helplessly.
"Your Highness, what do we do next?" On the way back, Tirpitz asked.
"First go to the Brom-Forss shipyard, I'll see how my baby is doing. If it's convenient for the fleet, let's prepare it ourselves, I already have the plan, but we'll wait until Moltke's good repairs are completed before we act. The prince said.
