Chapter 387: Attack the top
The Stuka bomber cannot carry more than one ton of bombs, while the Junkers-88 bomber can easily carry more than two tons of ammunition, and now, when attacking the ship, they carry two PC1000RS.
German bombs, there are a lot of prefixes, generally SB, SC, SD, PC, and so on. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Among them, SB is a large-charge bomb with thin walls, and 75% of the inside of the bomb body is explosive. Use an instantaneous fuse when attacking ground targets and a different time-delay fuse as needed when hitting surface targets.
SC is a thunder bomb and a seismic bomb, with a thin wall and only about 50% of the inside of the bomb body is explosive. The use of shock waves and vibrations generated by explosive explosions to destroy enemy buildings does not emphasize its fragmentation killing effect.
SD is a fragmentation projectile, a multi-purpose projectile, with a thick wall, and only 30% of the inside of the projectile body is explosives, using fragments to kill and injure the enemy's living forces and unarmored targets.
PC, on the other hand, is an anti-armor projectile with a fairly thick wall, a high-quality steel body material, and a charge of 15 to 20% of the projectile's weight. Use high-quality steel fragments to destroy enemy targets and fortifications with heavy armor such as warships.
As for the RS in the back, it means rocket boost, and the elongated tail part is equipped with a rocket thrust device, which is only used during dive bombing.
As for the number of the suffix, which represents the weight of the bomb, the bomb now, as the name suggests, is a ton.
Such bombs, specially designed to attack thick cement fortifications, or to attack battleships!
The one-ton bomb, detached from the engine room, with a whistling, flew towards the Hood, which was close at hand.
The quadruple machine guns, firing frantically, first at enemy planes, and then at this flying bomb, alas, were useless.
The bomb fell almost straight down, aiming its way at the strongest turret!
For battleships, the armor protection is very thick, take the Hood as an example, the armor on the side side has to withstand the bombardment of the opponent's shells, which is quite thick, for example, the main armor belt of the middle waterline is 305 mm, the upper main armor belt is 127 mm, the lower main armor belt is 228 mm, and the rest is about 102 to 152 mm.
It can be seen that the most important side and armor protection are light and heavy, after all, it is impossible for all of them to be so thick, otherwise the tonnage of the battleship will go up.
And compared to the side side, the turret is definitely thicker.
The Hood has four twin main turrets and 381 mm naval guns, and the turret is the thickest place on the entire warship.
For example, the turret is 381 mm front, 280 to 305 mm on the sides, and 280 mm at the rear.
This thickness is quite strong, and it can be said that even a ton of large iron falling from the sky, it can withstand it.
But now, the PC1000 bomb is not an ordinary iron block weighing a ton!
Just when there was still a height of about a hundred meters from the turret, this bomb, suddenly a blazing flame came out in the tail, and the rocket booster, began to work!
The rocket is burning, pushing the bomb, constantly accelerating, accelerating!
Originally, the bomb that dived down already had a fairly high speed, and now, with the booster in the tail, the speed is even faster!
When he saw the tail of this bomb burst into flames, Jack was first overjoyed, great, could it be that he hit it?
Just like just now, my own shooting made the first bomb deviate from the target, and now, this second bomb will definitely deviate from the target, maybe, it will be exploded by itself!
It is better to explode in the air than on a warship.
But later, Jack noticed that the situation was not good, the flames only came out of the tail, and the bomb began to accelerate!
No, this flame is something that people already have, it's a rocket booster!
Thinking of this, Jack's hands and feet were already cold, and he watched as the huge bomb, driven by the rocket, made intimate contact with the top of the second twin turret in front of the bridge with a furious momentum.
At this time, the speed is more than 280 meters per second!
Speed, of course, brings energy!
The furious PC-1000RS violently collided with the top of the turret, and the bomb's hard shell was engaged in a head-to-head battle with the turret.
As a result, of course, the bomb wins!
When it came up, the top of the turret was slammed into it, and the entire turret made a crisp and terrible crashing sound.
Then, I saw that this bomb bomb continued to drill forward, successfully tearing through the armor on the top of the turret!
In the design of any battleship, the turret is the thickest, however, that is the side, and the top of the turret, relatively speaking, is relatively thin, such as the current Hood, the top is not 100 mm thick.
(Another version was also found that the sides are as thick as the top.) Who has the most reliable information? However, even if it is 300 mm thick, this one-ton special rocket-booster bomb can be torn apart. )
The armor of the deck of the Hood was even only 38 mm.
It can be said that attacking the top is definitely a good plan!
After all, the era of the appearance of battleships was mainly to prevent the bombardment of the opponent's shells, and not to bombs falling from the sky.
In fact, if you analyze it statistically, the turret is not the most vulnerable position to be shot, but the armor protection of the turret is always the thickest, why is this?
Of course, it is safe, after all, once the turret is hit, it is to set off fireworks, and inside the turret, a large number of shells are stored, which can hit the enemy or become their own terrible nightmare.
Like now!
The Hood, which was not yet in combat readiness, was like other warships, and many of its gun emplacements were not equipped with shells, so that they could not respond quickly when they were attacked by surprise.
However, the main guns of any battleship will definitely not be short of ammunition.
The 381 mm armor-piercing projectile weighs a full 800 kilograms, and it is quite laborious to carry such a heavy shell, so under the turret, there is a complex automatic loading mechanism, and at the same time, once the shell is loaded on the warship, unless the warship is decommissioned, it is impossible to move the shells of the main gun back.
Underneath the turret of the Hood is the ammunition for the main gun, in which the propellant pack is on top and the projectile fired is below.
When the top of the turret was drilled open, the armor-piercing projectile, as if it had exhausted its last strength, followed by the explosion of the time-delay fuse.
"Boom!" Hundreds of kilograms of explosives, violently exploded.
In fact, when Besher was diving, he aimed at the middle bridge of the warship, but when he broke away, the route deviated a little, of course he knew that the opponent's turret was the thickest, and if it could be blown up, it was better to blow up the weak bridge.
But now, the bomb, living up to expectations, tore through the main gun turret of the Hood, drilled inside, and exploded!
