"It's a good idea, but it requires the pilots to cooperate with each other, and we can't even communicate effectively within the team right now. Even with a speaker www.biquge.info we can't guarantee that our teammates will hear us in a battlefield environment, and we have even considered simple communication with text, but there is no doubt that this is a bit difficult. One pilot explained.

"Okay, you can handle this yourself, I admit it's a bit difficult." Once again, the prince was thwarted by the too low technology of this era.

After watching the first fighter, the prince, accompanied by Sir Daimler and others, went to see another bomber, codenamed K-1. Compared with the fighter, this two-person reconnaissance bomber is much more complicated, after all, in this era when the aircraft engine is still very immature, the difficulty of each additional 1kg load is a fight with the rocket launch of later generations.

In order to carry more things on this aircraft, Sir Daimler prepared two V12 liquid-cooled engines for this aircraft, and the maximum output of a single engine reached an astonishing 130 horsepower, of course, this engine still could not be placed on the fighter because it was too large and heavy, if it had to be used, the fighter needed to be redesigned, and it could accommodate this engine in time, and the performance may not be improved.

This aircraft is arguably the largest of all aircraft currently available, with a length of 10 meters and a wing spread of 14 meters. The wing area is 50 square meters. The aircraft has an empty weight of 1050kg and a maximum take-off weight of 1600kg. It carries two people and is armed with three machine guns, two of which are fixed in the nose position and controlled by the driver in the front seat, and the bombardier in the back seat is also the rear machine gun shooter, controlling a 7.92mm machine gun. The aircraft has a theoretical maximum bomb load of 250kg. But in fact, since its development, the aircraft has not flown with a maximum bomb load.

"Our pilots are a bit overweight, and if we can find a lighter pilot, there's room for an increase in bomb load......." Sir Daimler explained.

"Feelings: The bomb load of the plane is directly related to the pilot's weight. It's a sad time. Once again, the prince had to lament the technology of this era.

Although the completion of this aircraft is quite low, in any case, this aircraft already has the basic elements of a reconnaissance bomber. The aircraft has 4 hardpoints, of which two belly hardpoints, divided into front and rear arrangements, can carry two bombs weighing no more than 100kg, and the lower wing of the aircraft near the fuselage has a hardpoint that can carry bombs weighing no more than 50kg. In the position of the recoiler bombardier, a place for a bomb-throwing device was also reserved, which, of course, was being designed .......

The two engine compartments of the aircraft are arranged between the two wings. It is a vertical engine compartment. The two pilots were separated by a wing, and in the lower part of the wing was a 250L fuel tank. Relying on internal fuel, this aircraft can fly for about 4 hours.

"If it is a reconnaissance aircraft, it is completely possible to install a radio station in the rear of the aircraft, and the information obtained can be transmitted back at any time, and it is also very good as a cannon compared to an airplane, and if you carry a drop fuel tank without carrying a bomb, the maximum range of this aircraft can reach about 800km. The stay time is more than 6 hours.

To be fair, this aircraft was a pretty good one, even before World War I. The bomb load of 250kg has already thrown off the aircraft of the pre-World War 1 several streets. The average flight speed of about 130 kilometers has also reached the flight speed of the late bomber. Although it can't be compared with BT like the DH4, it is already very close to an aircraft like Gotha .

The most important thing is that there is still a lot of room for improvement in this aircraft, at least the engine can be changed again, after all, most of the engine power in the late World War 1 is between 250hp and 375hp, and there is also a 450hp level that is more against the sky. As long as it is equipped with a decent engine, then the K-1 light bomber will be a very good fast light bomber. And it is also a bomber with very high accuracy from the perspective of the 1st World War, of course, don't think about dive bombing, this thing is not a mosquito, and the engine used is not Morin .......

Before precision-guided weapons came out, the speed, altitude and bombing accuracy of aircraft were inversely proportional, so all other things being equal, the accuracy of high-speed jet bombers was certainly not as good as that of propeller aircraft. In World War 1, because the aircraft flew slowly enough and the altitude was low enough, even if it was not possible to carry out large-angle dive bombing, it was still more useful to carry out a similar plunder-type strike. In addition to the 200kg bombs, the aircraft could also use two 12.7mm machine guns to repeatedly strafe the ground, and in this era, there were few ground transports on the Eastern Front that could stop the attacks of 12.7mm machine guns.

"Your Royal Highness, please come here, we have developed various types of bombs for aircraft, which can be divided into 100kg, 75kg, 50kg and 20kg bombs in terms of weight. In terms of use, it can be divided into anti-infantry high-explosive bombs, shrapnel shells, white phosphorus incendiary bombs and napalm bombs. ”

"I rub, white phosphorus incendiary bombs? You've got all the ****** stuff out there? What a peace of conscience you have! The prince complained to himself after looking at a bomb with two white rings painted on the warhead. The prince felt that he had gone too far after making a simple and terrible solidification ******, but he didn't expect someone to make something even more excessive! Of course, in addition to being cruel, the stability of this thing is also a problem, white phosphorus! The combustion gas is poisonous, and the ignition point is only 40 degrees, which is also a threat to yourself.

The reason why the white phosphorus incendiary bomb is terrifying is because it can still burn even in an oxygen-deficient environment, as long as it sticks to a person's body, it is definitely not over without burning. Moreover, it is a highly toxic substance, and even if it is not burned to death, it is very likely to cause hemolytic poisoning. It is even said that even if the burn area is only 7%, it can still trigger such terrible consequences.

The prince did not know when the first usable white phosphorus bomb appeared in history, so he still advised the relevant departments to use this weapon carefully, not to be merciful to the enemy, but to be responsible for the safety of their own people.......

As for other types of shells, they are basically changed from shells, but compared with shells, they are filled with much more explosives or steel balls, and shells are generally single-digit percentages, and high-explosive shells may be higher, but the explosive filling is generally not more than 20%. This is to ensure the strength of the shell at the time of fire. But high-explosive bombs are different, and the explosive reload rate of more than 3 percent can be easily done with half of the force.

Compared with the somewhat confrontational performance of the fighter plane, the display of the bomber is much simpler, that is, carrying some simulated bombs made of cement into the air and then dropping them at low altitudes. Without adequate training and the armament of new sights, the accuracy of such bombing was naturally not high, but in any case, the German eagle had begun to gradually mature.
