Chapter 1734: Equal (Added 9)

The air defense range of the fleet has a lot to do with the speed of the fighters, and the jets of later generations have fast speed and a large combat radius, so the airspace that the aircraft carrier can defend is more.

At the same time, since anti-aircraft missiles are already capable of taking out targets within a hundred kilometers, carrier-based aircraft only need to defend against them at a distance of a hundred kilometers.

In the current era of propeller aircraft, aircraft carriers do not have such a large range of defense, although if they attack, they can attack targets 500 kilometers away, but defense is absolutely impossible.

If it is to be effectively controlled, it is about a hundred nautical miles, and now, the Americans use the simplest and most effective offensive scheme, saturation attack.

In the era of anti-ship missiles in later generations, how to attack aircraft carrier formations is an eternal topic, and one of the most famous options is a saturation attack, as long as the number of one's own anti-ship missiles exceeds the opponent's defense channel, it can be overcome.

And now, the same applies, there are too many fighters flying in the United States, and no matter how many fighters the German fleet takes off, there are always fish that cannot be intercepted.

This requires follow-up mending, and Lieutenant General Machar has never done his best, always retaining stamina, also to mend the knife.

Alcatel pulls the throttle stick to the rear, the engine roars loudly, and the propeller in front of it is spinning rapidly, taking on the shape of a three-bladed propeller due to the visual lingering effect.

Alcatel felt his adrenaline rush and his whole body was in a state of extreme excitement, and the fighter plane in his hand seemed to let out the same joyful moan.

The battle has finally arrived!

About fifty kilometers away from the formation, Alcatel saw the fighter plane that had just taken off, intercepting several targets flying in front, one of which was trying to get rid of it and flying towards his side.

These planes, unlike what I've seen before, have inverted seagull wings, and they're four-bladed propellers!

Needless to say, the other party must have arrived with the latest fighter jet, and Alcatel quickly found familiar technical information from his own brain, which was the U.S. Navy's F4U Corsair, which also has a 2,000-horsepower engine power, and I heard that in various technical aspects, it can be comparable to its own fighters.

Chess opponents!

Alcatel operated his fighter plane and rushed towards the other party, although it was now head-on, Alcatel was not afraid at all, his eyes were on his sights, and the opponent was trapped in the aura of activity, and the wingspan of the other party was gradually increasing.

Alcatel takes a deep breath, waits for the shot, and flies head-on, always the moment that makes the pilot's blood get pumping.

But the other side didn't.

After the opponent's fighter plane spotted the Alcatel that came to intercept it, it immediately pulled the operating stick and began to climb.

Because the distance is still very far, although the opponent exposed the belly, Alcatel was not completely sure to shoot the bullet into the opponent's belly, so he could only pull the lever and climb with the opponent.

If Alcatel does not climb, then the opponent will fly past from his interception position, and at the same time, Alcatel is confident in the fighter in his hand, and in the climb, he has not yet encountered the opponent, so he bites the tail in the climb and shoots down the opponent, which should be the most expected.

The pirate climbed first, the F190 climbed later, and the two planes were in the sky and began to compete.

The engine in front of him was rumbling, and Alcatel's eyes never took off the other, he followed the trajectory of the other party, climbing and spinning in an almost vertical direction.

If you look at the trajectory, it's like two intertwined snakes, and in technical terms, it's a scissor climb!

In addition to the level of the pilot, what is more important is the power system of the fighter, because the thrust-to-weight ratio of the propeller aircraft will not exceed 1, so whoever consumes up the power first, who will fall first, then, will provide opportunities for those who fall down.

Nitrogen accelerates!

In order to catch up, Alcatel started his unique trick after climbing up for half a minute, adding extra power as the engine roared as nitric oxide was injected into the cylinder.

But then, Alcatel realized that things were not good.

It is said that after you turn on the acceleration, the distance between the two sides should be close, but now, the distance has hardly changed, what does this mean?

The opponent has the same climb rate as its own, and this is a rather terrible fighter for the United States!

No wonder there will be fish that slip through the net, the performance of this fighter is quite good, and it is impossible for the teammates in front of them to intercept them all.

What to do? Keep climbing?

If the opponent's motivation is on par with your own, then there is no point in continuing to climb, but the one who falls first will inevitably become the target of the opponent, and at this time, it can only be a road to the dark and continue to compete!

See who stalls first!

Alcatel is a person who will never admit defeat, and now, the two planes are still climbing upwards, and under the impetus of nitrogen acceleration, the speed has also begun to slow down, and the pirates above have also begun to slow down.

The United States has a deep industrial heritage, and in a short period of time it caught up with Germany in the field of propeller fighters, which has to be said to be a miracle, and the Corsair fighter also used nitrogen acceleration as an emergency power device, which can allow the engine to provide an additional hundred horsepower.

At the same time, the cockpit view of the Corsair fighter is also good, as well as the rearview mirror, at this time, seeing the tail-biting fighter behind him from the rearview mirror, Major Thatch is also nervous in his heart.

What to do? Continue to climb like this? Your own plane has already begun to tremble, and once it stalls and enters the terrible tailspin, it may crash and crash.

At the beginning of the training, the training instructors swore that this fighter was the most powerful, enough to throw off any opponent in the climb, and now? I was bitten tightly by the other party!

There was a slight wobble from the steering stick, and the rudder surface efficiency had begun to decrease, and Major Thatch had to bite the bullet and push the joystick.

The Corsair fighter swooped down.

Since you can't shake off your opponent in climbing, you can simply throw it off in a dive, which is only a match for speed, not a power for a dive.

The pirate fighter with the wings of the seagull down, as if it was a light seagull, began to dive downward, and in the back, the moment he saw him diving, Alcatel knew that his first victory after taking off today was coming.

Compared to diving, no aircraft can beat the F190!

Moreover, there was no need to dive at all, at the moment when the opponent turned from climbing to diving, he flashed in front of Alcatel's nose, and Alcatel, who was quick with his eyes, pressed the cannon button at this moment.

"Tom tom!"
