Whether an aircraft carrier is strong or not depends not only on the performance of the aircraft carrier itself, but also on the performance of the carrier-based aircraft. The carrier-based aircraft used by the German Navy are basically the naval version of the Air Force.

For example, the main fighter of the German Navy is now the carrier-based version of the BF-109 fighter, and the bomber is the carrier-based version of the Stuka dive bomber. Even the torpedo machine was modified on the basis of the Stuka bomber. The advantage of this is that it can ensure the performance of the Navy's carrier-based aircraft, and at the same time, it can also save a lot of design costs. Even in terms of parts, a large proportion can be used in general, which further reduces costs. At the same time, it can also reduce the pressure on logistics and supply in wartime.

In another time and space, the German army's weapons were very advanced, but they were also very sophisticated. This means that it will cost more and more man-hours to manufacture these weapons and equipment. In addition, the difficulty of repair and maintenance is also very large.

Therefore, Qin Tian required that the weapons of the German army in this time and space must meet the two elements of simplicity and reliability. In this way, it is possible not only to mass produce large quantities, but also to reduce costs. The difficulty of maintenance can also be greatly reduced. This is of great help to enhance the soft power of the German army.

Whether it's a tank, an airplane, or a warship, you need to keep this design concept in mind. In this way, the weapons and equipment of the German army can be made simpler and more practical, and at the same time more reliable and powerful.

After participating in the launching ceremony of the USS Zeus, Qin Tian went to a nearby base and watched the naval aviation air show. A group of carrier-based BF-109 fighters, which performed a dogfight in the air. Another group of carrier-based Stuka dive bombers and torpedo planes launched attacks on target ships at sea.

When the heavy aviation armor-piercing shells dropped by these dive bombers and the heavy aviation torpedoes dropped by torpedo machines hit the target ship. In the midst of the violent explosions and fire, the target ship was torn apart and sank into the sea.

Although, this is nothing more than a live-fire drill. However, the combat effectiveness of the carrier-based aircraft units of the German Navy can be seen from this. Heavy aviation armor-piercing projectiles dropped by dive bombers, weighing up to five hundred kilograms. Moreover, each dive bomber carried two of these heavy aviation armor-piercing shells. It's just that when the first aviation armor-piercing projectile was dropped, it could not dive at a large angle. In other words, the dive height needs to be further improved. Otherwise, it would be impossible to change the dive channel, resulting in the destruction of the plane and the death of people. Only after the first bomb was dropped and the weight was reduced, the second bomb was able to dive at a large angle, thus increasing the hit rate.

Although, such a design is somewhat wasteful, since the first bomb did not have a high hit rate. However, if an attack is launched against a ground target or a large surface ship such as an aircraft carrier, the hit rate can undoubtedly be guaranteed. In that case, a dive bomber with two bombs would certainly be only more powerful than a dive bomber with one. After all, when fighting at sea, it takes a lot of time to return to your own aircraft carrier to re-attach the bomb after dropping the bomb. In naval warfare, the fighter plane is fleeting, and it is necessary to grasp the fighter as well as possible. In that case, the possibility of victory for the Imperial Navy will be greatly increased.

"The Air Force's F-190 fighter is expected to be mass-produced immediately. How is the development progress of the F-190 fighter of the Navy model? Qin Tian asked.

The F-190 fighter of the Air Force is more advanced in performance than the BF-109 fighter. After the model of the Air Force was finalized, the Navy also began to develop a carrier-based version on this basis.

"Your Majesty, the naval version of the F-190 fighter is being developed a little behind. Mass production is expected to be expected to be completed until the following year. It is estimated that the second batch of 'main god-class' aircraft carriers can use carrier-based F-190 fighters. Marshal Raeder said.

Qin Tian nodded, compared to the carrier-based aircraft of the Americans in the same period, the carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy were undoubtedly much more advanced. If war breaks out between the navies of both sides, the battle will certainly be one-sided. The carrier-based aircraft forces of the German Navy will achieve overwhelming superiority. In this case, even if the US Navy is crazy to equip more new aircraft carriers, but the carrier-based aircraft are not good, it is impossible for them to defeat the German Navy and snatch the sea supremacy from the hands of the German Navy.

Qin Tian's inspection of the navy stopped at the home fleet. The home port of the Atlantic Fleet is in the Azores, the home port of the Mediterranean Fleet is in Gibraltar, and the home port of the Indian Ocean Fleet is in Mumbai, India. At the same time, their own safety can also be guaranteed. The home port of the Pacific Fleet is in Singapore.

Qin Tian didn't have that much time to inspect the fleets stationed overseas. Especially now that the international situation is becoming more and more tense, for the sake of Qin Tian's safety, if he wants to leave the country, the ministers will fiercely oppose it.

Therefore, after inspecting the home fleet, Qin Tian returned directly to Berlin to inspect the air force.

At an airbase outside Berlin, the Air Force's most advanced F-190 fighter jet is undergoing its final test flight before mass production. Basically, the model has been decided. In previous test flights, the defects have been almost found.

"Your Majesty, this fighter is close to being finalized. Mass production is expected to begin next month. Compared with the BF-109 fighter, the F-190 fighter has a great improvement in both maximum speed and endurance. In addition, the 12.7 aviation machine gun in the nose was replaced with a 20 mm cannon. to further enhance the fighter's attack capabilities. However, after the replacement of the cannon, the ammunition load is limited, and it is impossible to carry out sustained attacks. "Air Force Secretary Albert? A smile on Air Marshal Catherine's face.

Before the outbreak of war, if the Luftwaffe could be equipped with F-190 fighters, it would mean that they would have more powerful air power. In this regard, other countries will not be able to confront the Luftwaffe.

Qin Tian put down the telescope in his hand, and the performance of the F-190 fighter in the air was indeed very pleasing to the eye. Whether it's climbing or diving, as well as circling, it's all good. Compared to the clumsy American fighter, it is undoubtedly much more advanced. This means that Germany is still leading the way in this regard. In a future air war, the possibility of Germany gaining air supremacy will undoubtedly be greater.
