95 London Air Battle
In the sky, in the eyes of the pilots of both sides, they could not see the epic picture, and they could only stare at each other's planes, trying their best to keep themselves from being shot down by the other side. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It's a battle between technique and mind, and the stakes are your own life.
The FW-190 fighter is on par with the ME-109E fighter, but it is more powerful in firepower.
The young pilot inside the British Spitfire flew his plane towards two German ME-109E fighters who were chasing the Hurricane fighters.
He deliberately found a ME-109E fighter with familiar performance to be his opponent, so that he could use his experience and strive to be able to attack successfully.
And he chose the wingman between the two planes, which is generally less experienced and easier to deal with.
Choosing his target, he shook his wings slightly, and he flew his plane towards his opponent.
The distance was getting closer, and the tail of the German fighter was becoming clearer in the crosshair of his cannon sight.
The other party obviously knew about his arrival, and soon followed the shaking, obviously the other party was changing his flight trajectory, delaying his aiming time and reducing the accuracy of his fire.
The British pilots were all battle-hardened veterans, and their combat qualities were quite high.
And the experience of German pilots at this time was also amazing, and they were not at all inferior to British fighter pilots.
Equal opponents! This is the assessment of their own enemies in the minds of the pilots of both sides! They respect these opponents and are willing to fight such enemies!
Apparently the German pilots spotted the shadow of the enemy behind them, so the two ME-109E fighters abandoned the Hurricane, which was already full of bullet holes, and began to adjust their flight attitude.
The lead ME-109E fighter pulled up its nose and began to climb sharply. The wingman, on the other hand, used a sideways scroll to escape the lock-in of the British fighter pilots.
At a glance, it became clear that the German fighter was going to cut into the back of the British fighter with a somersault.
If he didn't want to risk giving his tail to his opponent, he had to choose carefully whether to continue chasing down the German wingman who was already in a big circle.
Shaking his joystick, he quickly chose a dangerous but quicker option.
The German bomber fleet had already begun to bomb, and if it did not get rid of the interception of German fighters as soon as possible, then this interception would be unsuccessful.
With a wrong foot, he swung his joystick and let his fighter follow the German wingman, always aiming his sight at the struggling German wingman.
The other party was obviously also deliberately seducing him, and he was not in a hurry to do any difficult technical moves, and really tried to get rid of his lock.
It seems that the other party seems to trust his long machine very much, and trust the guy who goes around. This opponent thought that his long plane would soon be able to take out the British wingman who was following him.
Thinking of this, the British pilot looked through the curved glass cockpit to the sky overhead, and he saw that behind him, the somersaulted German fighter had swooped down.
It was clear that the opposing side was going to attack the British wingman, and at this time the German wingman, acting as a decoy, began to turn again.
This time, the opponent's maneuver was very large, and it was obvious that he was also aware of his danger and really began to maneuver to get rid of it.
Seeing that the other party also began to pull up and climb after pretending to shake for a while, the British pilot involuntarily frowned.
It can be seen from the cooperation of the other side that it is obvious that this pair of fighters is a group of long-winged fighters with sophisticated coordination.
The situation of air combat was changing rapidly, and the British fighter pilot did not have much time to sigh before the wingman following him made a frightened call.
"Enemy planes fired! He's firing at me! Damn it! The Spitfire pilot behind him shouted loudly as he steered his plane to dodge.
Tracer shells flew with ordinary ammunition from the nose of the German fighter pilot to the tail of the British fighter.
Because of the air flow and the constant maneuvering of fighter jets, these shells do not resemble a straight line in the sky, but a curved trajectory visible to the naked eye.
Experienced pilots are familiar with the ballistics of their own aircraft, so it is easier to rely on this curved trajectory to hit enemy planes that are constantly shaking.
"I'm rolling and dodging! I was forced to change out! Cover me! Cover me! The wingman shouted loudly in the headphones, which made the British pilot flying the long plane very uneasy.
"Swoop! I'll go around and intercept them! He showed his wingman the way forward, and then let his fighter hover in the sky, ready to turn his nose around.
Here he began to circle, and the fuselage of the plane had all turned sideways because of the flight action.
The British pilot in the cockpit was now able to see London beneath his feet from the direction of his wingtips, as well as his own wingman as he dived.
Not far from that Spitfire, a German fighter's striking livery glistened in the sun.
The battlefield identification mark of the German fighter is the obvious bright yellow warp ring color in the direction of the nose of the aircraft. This made the German aircraft very conspicuous in the sky, and there was a clear difference between them and the British fighters.
At this time, the enemy fighters were firing at the British wingman, and dense tracer bullets flew out of the nose, and it was obvious that many of them had already hit their own wingman.
In the headset, the shouts of the wingman also confirmed everything that the pilot of the long plane saw: "Long plane! I was hit! My plane was hit! I can't get rid of him! I can't get rid of him! ā
The British Spitfire was already trying to adjust its flight attitude, but the opposing pilots were obviously more experienced.
No matter what kind of adjustments the British pilots made, the opponents would bite the tail of the British plane tightly and shoot 7.92 mm bullets into the fuselage of the British fighter jet.
"Hell! Get out of there! Your plane is about to smoke! The British pilot of the long plane tried hard to lower the control stick in his hand to get his plane into a state of dive as soon as possible.
He was to rush into the battlefield and use his own pursuit to disrupt the German pilots from continuing to shoot.
This is the best way to free his wingman, and it is also the best chance for him to shoot down enemy planes. He now has the advantage of high kinetic energy, which can easily be achieved if converted into potential energy.
But at this time, time is not on his side. The German ME-109E's agile figure makes it very jumpy in the sky, and it is difficult to get rid of it after locking on to British fighters.
The terrible thing is that the German pilots who flew these planes were the most experienced air killers, and it was very dangerous to fight such an opponent.
The wingman in the distance could only shout in the headset at this time, his wings had been beaten into a sieve, and now he was no different from suicide by making a large maneuver.
A structurally damaged aircraft is very dangerous because the pilot does not know if his plane will break into pieces in the next second.
This restricts a lot of things, but it also raises other questions ā for example, will the tank be leaked?
"I was hit! I was hit! Leader! Request a skydive! Request a skydive! The wingman's voice was close to pleading, indicating that he was not in good condition right now.
"Find a way to get out of there! Allow yourself to decide whether or not to skydive! "The British pilot, who was accelerating the dive, had to give the order to allow his wingman to parachute.
"......" replied to him by a silence, the wingman was already emitting black smoke by this time, and the pilot in the long plane could not see whether anyone had jumped out of the plane.
"Wingman! Wingman! Can you hear me? He asked on the intercom, but his hand movements were not slow at all.
His plane is now attacking from a very good angle, and although he has lost his wingman, he is sure that he will shoot down at least one German plane and get his wingman back on the ground.
Just as he had already put his sight on the body of the German fighter, he felt an unusual vibration coming from the fuselage of his plane.
The shaking was regular, and it was the kind of law that made people despair. Subconsciously, he shook the joystick in his hand to deviate his fighter from its original flight trajectory.
Then he felt something pound on his seat, and debris flew sideways in his cockpit.
The deflected debris hit the bulkhead of the cabin to his left, leaving a row of leaky holes.
By this time he was quite sure that his plane had been attacked by another German fighter jet, and that the other party's bullets had left a row of bullet holes in his plane.
Had it not been for his experienced deviation from the flight trajectory, this volley of bullets would have stretched all the way into his cockpit, smashing him into a sieve along with his plane.
Even if experience had allowed him to react in time, he knew that he was still in a dangerous situation.
It was too late to take care of his wingman, so he piloted his plane out of the dive state as quickly as possible and into the rotation state that the Spitfire is better at.
However, even though he controlled his plane, the plane still did not show any response.
Now, he knew that his plane might have been damaged and had lost part of its functionality.
In addition to the fact that its own engine is still not smoking, and it is still running normally, it is estimated that the plane has no way to continue flying.
Unfortunately, he could not bring the precious engine back to the ground airfield alone. Nervous, he began to try other technical maneuvers, trying to see if his plane could stabilize its shape.
