Chapter 1225: The Duel of Fate (1)
The Flying Snake fighter was rapidly climbing upward, ready to meet the German fighters, while on the ground, Safonov was also running quickly towards his own fighters.
Since entering the state of war, they have been waiting for fighters to take off every day, but today in order to make way for American planes, they are not on standby at the end of the runway, but on the tarmac.
The biggest mistake they made today was not to take off to greet them, and if they could have met them in the air and then protected them to land, there would not be the problem they have now.
Safonov ran to his I-16 fighter jet, and in the air, a duel was already underway.
In order to train his pilots, Alcatel did not come down to attack himself, but let his pilots dive down from the sky, and he hovered above to observe.
When he got out of the clouds, he could see that there were several planes landing on the runway, which he had never seen before!
In general, the nose of the aircraft is huge, because it is necessary to place a high-power aero engine, which will occupy almost half of the volume, but now, the nose of the other party is very narrow, and the cockpit is forward.
As a commander, Alcatel knew what it meant to know oneself and one's opponent, and he was familiar with all the Soviets' fighter jets, but none of them.
After searching in his brain for a while, Alcatel gradually filtered the models he mastered, and he came to a judgment that this plane, not like the Soviets, was very much like the flying snake of the American Bell Company!
Although he had left the United States a long time ago, Alcatel was also quite familiar with American military fighters, and he didn't know how many times he had turned over those intelligence materials.
The biggest characteristic of this Flying Snake fighter is that it is flexible and maneuverable, and it is quite difficult to deal with it at an altitude of less than 3,000 meters, especially excellent horizontal mobility.
If it is an American fighter plane, then the inside of the plane may be an American flying veteran!
Thinking of this, Alcatel no longer hesitated, he pushed the control stick, and his fighter also began to dive downward, at the same time, he shouted loudly on the radio: "Attention, the dive attack misses, immediately climb to get rid of it, don't get entangled in the horizontal plane!" ”
The F190 is an all-airspace fighter, but only an old bird can take advantage of all the advantages of this fighter, and new pilots must grow up in the war.
Then, the favorite way of the German fighters is, of course, to dive and attack, and if they miss a hit, they immediately climb up to a high altitude, and if the opponent does not catch up, they will wait for an opportunity to get rid of it.
By the time he heard the command from the long plane in the headset, Hans Woodrich had already piloted his fighter and dived to aim at the fighter that was trying to climb.
Now, it's time to fire!
Woodrich pressed his button, only to hear the sound of tom-tom, and the 20-millimeter cannon fired a tracer light and flew towards the enemy plane.
And at this moment, the enemy plane, which was still climbing, as if it had a premonition, actually rolled flexibly to the right, and under the bombardment of this machine gun, it actually skillfully retreated.
The cockpit view of the Flying Snake fighter is quite good, and in air combat, much more can be observed.
Roy is an old bird of old birds, he climbs hard to increase the energy of his plane, so that he can gain an advantage in the aerial dogfight, and when he spotted the plane that was diving and strafing him, he predicted the impact point of the opponent in advance, and then calmly avoided it.
In the sound of the cannon, there was a buzzing sound in the earphones, and Woodrich did not hear the command of the long plane, he only knew that in the usual flight training, his performance in air target shooting was the first, but he did not expect that in the first battle in actual combat, he actually missed the target.
How can this be!
Watching the opponent's plane roll and fly in the other direction, Woodrich immediately leveled the plane, wanting to keep up with the opponent's rhythm and carry out a tail-biting attack from behind.
This kind of flight, in peacetime they are also trained, tail biting combat is one of the most common tactics in this era, and the aircraft behind has more opportunities, after the opponent turns, as long as the side cuts the radius to catch up, you can shorten the distance, calmly open fire.
Just now, because it was diving down, Woodrich's plane was very fast, and the other party was still running away in a straight line, so it was almost a few seconds away, and Woodrich's plane was only a few hundred meters away from the other party.
Just as Woodrich was about to fire again, the other side seemed to realize that something was wrong, and the wing rolled over and began to steer.
If the other party turns, you can follow the turn!
When the distance is long, you can cut the radius to pursue, but when the distance is very close, there is a risk of cutting the radius, and you may rush in front of the opponent.
Woodrich pushed the lever to the left, and at the same time pushed the left rudder to the ground with his left foot, and he felt the blood rushing to his head all over his body.
He had already begun to turn, but in his field of vision, the other man's turn continued, and with a greater amplitude, glancing at his speedometer out of the corner of his eye, Woodrich suddenly shouted in his heart.
He's too fast.
Every kind of aircraft has its own minimum turning radius, and every pilot knows that the slower his aircraft is, the smaller the turning radius, which is determined by the most basic formula of centripetal force.
The speed of the Flying Snake fighter in front of it has not yet been pulled up, and it knows that it is impossible to get rid of it by climbing or something, and the performance of the F190 is excellent, so it can only gamble in this way, betting that the other party will turn slower than itself.
As expected.
The fighter behind was also steering, but because of its speed, it couldn't have been able to turn with it.
The trajectory radius of the F190 is much larger than that of the Flying Snake, and from a distance, the two planes quickly separated.
From Woodrich's point of view, as he watched the opposing fighter jets drift away from his front, deflect, and eventually leave his front hemisphere, he knew in his heart that something was wrong.
Roy has relied on his outstanding horizontal hovering ability to go around the back of the F190, and now the F190 has also dropped in speed due to the hovering, which is simply an excellent target in Roy's eyes.
on the ground.
"Quick, start the engine!" Safonov shouted to the ground crew in front of him.
