Chapter 1138: Preparation 1

In the face of this problem, the prince did not force too much, and the torpedo damage was appropriately reduced according to the original data, after all, the charge of aviation torpedoes was only about 90KG. There is no comparison between the pen and the fun, the www.biquge.info and the shipborne torpedo. As for aerial bombs? In addition to hitting some key locations and underwater close misses that can increase the damage value, as for hitting bombs in other parts of the hull? Let Admiral Pol finalize this, but before finalizing it, the prince believes that Admiral Pol still needs to understand how terrifying a 300KG high-explosive bomb is when it falls. Well, that's all.

So, after a half-day meeting, the two sides almost finalized the details of the entire exercise. The prince left the meeting with his subordinates satisfied, and in Tirpitz and Pol's opinion, looking at the densely written memorandum of the meeting, why did they always feel that they had signed an unequal treaty?!

And then what is finalized just can't be changed. Admiral Boer also had to choose the right ships and the right personnel. At this time, Admiral Ball chose Rear Admiral Beckern, who was also a little dissatisfied when he visited the aircraft carrier Wittelsbach, and as a squadron commander, his level of wisdom was still okay. As for the battleship? The first three Bavarians were a little early, and the quality of the personnel who served later was poor, so Admiral Boll chose the battleship Saxony as the target ship.

As for what's next? That's the matter for Major General Beckern. Doesn't it seem to him to be dodging torpedoes and bombs? Dodging torpedoes has already been experienced by Major General Becken, and in his opinion there is nothing remarkable, as for dodging bombs? He does not think that modern bombers can hit how high a bomb hit!

And in relation to the work of Admiral Pol, the prince's work is troublesome, and this time the prince is serious! It's a decision! You can't afford to fail! So, in line with the principle that if you are busy, others can't be easy, the director of the Bavarian Air Force, Harrell. Feng. Major General Hallestein also felt Wilhelmshaven from Munich. This man was the executor of the tactical and technological innovations of the Bavarian Air Force. He participated in the development of carrier-based aircraft, the compilation of tactical tutorials and related exercises. It can be described as experienced.

In fact, when Admiral Bohr agreed with the prince's opinion, the second exercise had already won eighty percent! Why? Because of those drill conditions? These are the reasons, but they are not the core ones! The real reason, and the one that is most easily overlooked, is that the content of the exercise has changed! What was the first drill performed? Effect of squad attacks on water targets.

In fact, the torpedo attack effect was very good, the first round of attacks actually hit the target, but the hit torpedo did not explode, which caused a bad effect. But this time it was different, as long as the torpedo could hit the target, it would be a hit, and it would be considered an explosion. This already ignores the question of whether the fuse is reliable or not!

The bomb attack accuracy of the squad is low, so there is no way. However, if you use formation flight and then bomb in a covered way, then the accuracy will be improved, and experienced pilots will be responsible for guiding the attack, and then nearly 10 planes will form a formation and drop bombs at the same time, the hit rate will be much higher, in fact, in World War II, this kind of guided bombing is still an important way to improve accuracy.

And most importantly, the goal of this exercise is to see if it can blow up and sink a capital ship! I didn't say how many planes were used! If you take the level of underwater protection of British battleships, although the aviation torpedo charge is a little smaller, according to the speculation of the German Navy, three hits are about the same, and four rounds are basically guaranteed, and now how many planes can an aircraft carrier take off in a wave? At least 40 of them! In other words, even a 1 in 10 hit rate is enough to complete the mission!

If the efficiency of torpedo planes in World War II may not be high, there is a reason, first of all, the torpedo planes fly slowly, and the attack route is fixed, it is easy to be shot down, go out a bunch of planes, first hit a batch by the opponent's fighters, and then be scattered or killed by the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery, and finally the number of torpedoes that can be dropped is actually not much, so it seems that the torpedo misses a few shots. But what about now? There are no two important limiting factors in the front, almost no interference in the case of mine, although it is 1 battle, but the hit rate is definitely not low, according to Rear Admiral Harrell's estimate, even in the face of battleships, in a formation of more than 4 aircraft on both sides of the simultaneous mine, the hit rate is at least 3 percent or more!

What the? You said you can't take off 40 planes?! Please, biplanes are so good to take off in this era! The fighter can take off from laying a target on the main gun of the battleship, and the weight of the so-called torpedo machine under full load is not enough two tons! And because it is a double wing, the take-off speed is not high, plus the deck wind provided by the Wittelsbach's speed of up to 26 knots! And the deck length comparable to the Wyvern of World War II, and the deck width of the same level as Zuihe, there is really no problem at all with 40 planes taking off in World War 1! As for how many attack aircraft are among these 40 aircraft? Isn't this the prince's mouth to say? Anyway, except for the prince who has a spectrum in his heart, everyone else is a mallet in this aspect, and if they can fool it, they will fool it!

"If only to hit 4 torpedoes, even the most conservative estimates, 20 torpedo machines will be enough." Major General Harrell thought for a moment and said.

"No, this time it will definitely be better to win, so I propose to increase the number of planes to be put into service to 45, 28 torpedo planes, and the remaining 17 bombers." The prince said.

"Wait, an aircraft carrier takes off and lands 45 attack aircraft at a time, this is a difficult point, right?" Major General Harrell, who is quite realistic, said.

"Actually, if you count the continuous attacks over a period of time, that's okay. Anyway, they didn't say that it was just a wave of sorties. The prince said that this statement is also reasonable, if you do not ask everyone to rush over in formation, and then get stuck for a period of time, for example, from the first wave of planes take off for the first time, how many planes can be released in an hour, then with the Wittelsbach's ability to fly, it is really possible to take off 45 attack aircraft in an hour.

The operation is simple, before dawn, the first wave of attacking aircraft is placed on the deck, and at the same time, the second half of the hangar is opened, and the second wave of aircraft ready to attack is warmed up, refueled and reloaded. After the first batch of aircraft was released, the second batch of prepared aircraft quickly entered the deck to relocate and release, which was actually very fast, at most half an hour, and the second wave could all go out.
