"Well, let's talk about the second question, it is impossible for a battleship not to be equipped with anti-aircraft weapons, and how do you plan to balance this, after all, we can't really use artillery shells to shoot down the planes of the Imperial Air Force. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Admiral Boll said with a change of subject.

"Air defense? If the information you provided is correct, the number of guns on a British capital ship that can fight against the air does not exceed double digits, you don't think that an anti-mine gun with a maximum elevation angle of 45 degrees can be used against the air, do you? If you have such a point of view, I will arrange for you to visit and study the army anti-aircraft artillery unit. ”

"Even if, by the standards of our German battleships, the number of 2-pounder guns and machine guns is too small, and the reaction of anti-mine guns is too slow, it was not that there were no British planes entering the fleet from low altitudes in the last engagement, so well, I ask, which battleship knocked down British planes ?!" The prince asked.

It is even more difficult to hit planes with anti-aircraft artillery, it is even more difficult to hit planes with anti-aircraft guns at sea, and it is even more difficult to fight planes when the number of anti-aircraft guns at sea is insufficient! Even if the 1st Fighter plane is not on the ground, if you want to take down an aircraft with anti-aircraft artillery, you have to use 4-digit shells or bullets. And when it comes to the sea, there is not even a stable design platform, and it is basically eye-catching in aiming. When the number of anti-aircraft guns is very scarce, you want to shoot down the plane? It's too difficult, isn't it? Don't you see, did the Bismarck battleship shoot down the Swordfish with 105mm Gaoping dual-purpose guns, 37 hand guns, and 20 guns? Although the Swordfish is much stronger than the current torpedo machine, Bismarck's air defense effect cannot be compared with that of modern battleships. The prince even doubted whether there were any air defense regulations on the battleships of the British now.......

Although it is a bit unpleasant to say, the current air defense of the German Navy mainly relies on the seaplane version of the K-1 fighter. Don't even say it, it's really easy to use. As for ship-to-air fire? For experienced pilots, even dispersal will not be possible. I think people know that you can't hit, so I'm not afraid at all, as for whether the anti-lightning cannon can be directly erected against the aircraft? It's practically impossible. Because the shells of anti-lightning guns are also trigger fuses, and you want to hit the plane directly with the shells? THE PROBABILITY IS TOO SMALL, IF YOU CAN MAKE THE 88MM CANNON SHELL HIT IT DIRECTLY, THEN YOU CAN BUY A LOTTERY TICKET!

In fact, medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns are killed by shrapnel. They would bind the fuse according to the altitude and distance of the incoming aircraft, and then detonate the shell within the approximate interception range, relying on a large number of shrapnel to kill. The destruction of aircraft by direct impact is just the lethal principle of small-caliber high-rate fire anti-aircraft guns. Medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns rely on shrapnel formed after explosion, and now, the corresponding equipment has not been popularized and the corresponding equipment has not been trained on the warships of the German Navy, and the attack efficiency is naturally very low.

"Then you can't ignore the anti-aircraft fire of the battleship, can you? Even if the ship's artillery is not good, but a capital ship still has about 4 seaplanes. You can't ignore that, right? "Please, both sides are reasonable people, and it is useless to continue to entangle when there is a factual basis. So Admiral Pol turned in again and decided not to dwell on the problem of anti-aircraft guns on the battleship, and directly said seaplanes.

"Well, this is easy, there are not only attack planes on the aircraft carrier, but also fighters, I would like to know how a small number of seaplanes can deal with J-1 fighters. You arrange for 4 seaplanes to intercept it, and I can provide 8 combat escorts, and we have seen the huge hangar of the Wittelsbach, you don't think that I will be short of planes, right? The prince asked rhetorically.

"But we have a fleet of seaplanes on almost every British capital ship, and they have seaplane carriers, and the total number of seaplanes in such a fleet is a terrible number. When they get together, there will always be more planes than on an aircraft carrier! Tirpitz said.

However, as soon as he said it, he felt as if he had said something wrong, you see, according to logic, because the British had more seaplanes, they could intercept air strikes. So if you want to solve this problem, Germany only needs to add aircraft carriers, after all, aircraft carriers are warships that are specially loaded with aircraft, which are much stronger than capital ships and seaplane carriers, which are half-baked things!

"As long as we have 3 aircraft carriers, then as long as the British do not build regular aircraft carriers like ours, their entire fleet of seaplanes will not be able to intercept the footsteps of our air strikes. So, we are now going to increase the number of aircraft carriers. The prince said with a smile.

As a traverser, the prince was very thoughtful about the many situations he might face, and when he decided to build the Wittelsbach, he considered the problem of penetration. As Tirpitz said, the number of seaplanes in the British fleet in this plane was a bit large, with several on each capital ship. Together with specialized seaplane carriers, it is not a problem for a fleet to have more than 3 figures in the number of seaplanes.

Then now the problem comes, even if the pontoon and other devices limit the performance of the aircraft, but the bomber carrying the torpedo is also a stupid bird, according to the experience of the 2 wars, as long as the attack aircraft can be knocked down, who cares about the fighters in general! If the British had a plan, or if the commander had suddenly opened his mind to attack attack aircraft at any cost, then the aircraft carrier's sword-attack aircraft group could have been broken.

But in fact, the prince, after deduction and exercises, believed that the probability of such a situation was not very high. To this end, the prince even organized more than 100 planes to conduct offensive and defensive drills! However, the result of the exercise was that the defensive line was stabbed by the attacker ...... when the defender was superior in numbers.

This result is actually expected, within the cleanup, not to mention now, even before the 2nd World War, there is still no good way for the fleet to defend against aviation strikes, because the aircraft is too fast, it comes too suddenly, there is no radar, there is no perfect guidance and interception measures, how do you deal with swarms of aircraft? When the aircraft carriers were first used, they were all in separate formations, in fact, it was to prevent being served by the other side, as the saying goes, you can't put all your eggs in one basket.

If it is put in the environment of World War 1, then it is even more so, the aircraft carrier with a concentration of aircraft is not able to catch the opponent's large-scale air strikes, so you simply rely on the seaplanes on the battleship is like blocking the attack of the aircraft carrier? What do you think?! A small fleet is still possible, but you must know that once the large fleet is deployed, it will be more than 10 kilometers long, at this time you have to mobilize seaplanes to take off and then concentrate in one place, and then judge that the other side is attacking the battleship, and deploy interception when the radio is unreliable? This TM is simply zenith difficulty! How about you have 100 seaplanes? Two hundred won't do it!
