Chapter 1640: A light-hearted performance
In aviation weapons, there are also different ideas.
At a time when air-to-air missiles were not yet mature, automatic fire weapons were the main equipment, then, there were different options, which could be small-caliber machine guns, which were characterized by an abundance of bullets and could be used almost unlimitedly, and there were thousands of rounds of ammunition at every turn.
However, it has a bigger disadvantage, that is, the power is not enough, whether it is 7.92 or 12.7 mm, this kind of bullet is okay against the human body, but it is not easy to deal with aircraft.
Although the aircraft is not as resistant to the tank as the tank, it still has pierced hundreds of bullet holes and flew back, in the past, it was still a wooden aircraft, the overall mechanical strength was poor, and in the aluminum alloy period, the mechanical strength of the aircraft was greatly increased, and there was only one left to burst a fuel tank or something, but after the fuel tank adopted self-closing technology, even the fuel tank could not be hit.
In this way, more dense bullets are needed, four machine guns are not enough, just eight, the bullets rain over the past, and the little ones add up, and the ants can bite the elephant to death.
In the case of the aircraft artillery, it is exactly the other way around.
The caliber of the aircraft gun is large and the weight is large, so it will not carry a lot, like the current 20 mm cannon, which only has 200 rounds of ammunition in reserve. If the pilot is a novice and panics in the air battle and does not let go, he will not be able to fight for even a minute, and they will all go out.
Experienced shooters are all short spot shots, with a maximum of five shots at a time.
The amount of ammunition is its disadvantage, but the power is definitely its strength, as long as it hits, it will be a big hole.
Therefore, in the selection of weapons for jet aircraft, German technicians and aviation departments conducted a strong debate, and after many comparisons, it was finally decided to eliminate machine guns and use all aircraft guns.
The machine gun is outdated, sweeping the other party into a hornet's nest, and the other party is fine, patting the ass and leaving, which is very disappointing to the pilot, and it must be powerful enough!
Taking into account the combined weight and the amount of ammunition with ammunition, the 20-mm cannon was the most suitable option.
One of the great advantages of the jet is that the propeller on the nose is eliminated, so it is possible to place large-caliber guns directly on the nose, and at the same time arrange two more guns on the wing roots.
The three cannons converge about 500 meters in front, so 500 meters is its best range.
Now, it was at the position of five hundred meters that Walter opened fire.
With a burst of fire coming out of the muzzles of the three guns, the powerful 20-millimeter shells flew towards the front, flying at a speed of 800 meters per second, and half a second later, it accurately hit the Mustang fighter.
"Boom!" The first shell hit the wing on the right side, and instantly exploded a large hole half a meter in diameter, and then the second shell and the third shell flew along.
"Boom, boom!" When the three shells flew, the entire right wing broke from the root of the wing, and the Mustang fighter did not react at all, so it rolled and fell downward.
In this case, the pilot simply has no way to parachute.
The rest of the shells flew along the edge of the plane, drawing graceful arcs in the air, and this first attack was extremely accurate, with a delicate beauty and murderous aura.
The whole shooting process was only a few seconds.
At this time, Wren had just finished shouting on the radio when he saw this terrible blow. This terrible fighter, the process of attacking, is so chic and arrogant.
As an opponent, you have to admire it.
Just after the attack of this plane was completed, it actually ended the dive at an incredible angle, turned sideways and climbed, turned around and flew upwards!
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.
Just by looking at this glance, Wren knew that the Mustang fighter, which had condensed the crystallization of the wisdom of the whole United States, was not worth mentioning at all in front of this kind of aircraft, and the power of this kind of aircraft had exceeded their cognition!
At this time, he could see that the other party was climbing, and two blazing flames came out of the tail of the plane, stimulating his retina, although there was no information, he could guess that it should be the other party's engine.
It's just alien technology!
One hit, immediately change out, this is a tactic often used by German fighters, not fighting with the opponent on the horizontal plane at all, it is like a dragonfly in water, and after the dive, it will pull up.
For German pilots, they can fight if they want and go when they want!
This is the case now.
After knocking out a Mustang fighter with ease like chopping melons and vegetables, Walter did not continue to fight at all, but directly chose to climb and break away.
He had no chance of continuing the battle because of his speed.
To keep attacking, he'd have to slow down and then grapple with him horizontally, which wasn't right for him.
In fact, for all fighters, propeller aircraft have the advantage of maneuvering in the horizontal direction, while jet planes are at high altitude and high speed, which is like the comparison between biplanes and monoplanes, but advanced monoplanes will always replace biplanes, and jets will also replace propeller aircraft.
It was just the first light-hearted performance.
Relying on the continuous surging thrust provided by the two engines with a tail thrust-to-weight ratio of 3, and at the same time, because of the continuous combustion of fuel, the body became lighter, bringing a terrible thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole aircraft, in front of the Mustang fighter, turned away gorgeously, leaving an amazed look.
For Walter, this was the first result, and at the same time, when he left, his wingman had just swooped down!
Walter caught the attention of the pilot behind him, and Wren didn't know that his bad luck was coming, and it was only five seconds before the first unlucky guy arrived.
Although the alarm was issued by Wren, he did not immediately dodge, and was completely startled by the other party.
By the time he tried to dodge, there was no chance.
Carl Snorl piloted his own fighter, and after Walter climbed, he swooped down, and he aimed at Wren!
The target inside the aiming ring is getting bigger and bigger, and the distance is getting closer and closer, a thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters, four hundred meters...
"Antelope, fire up!" Walter shouted over the radio, and in the climbing overload, Walter saw that his wingman was so close, and immediately reminded him.
"Understood!" At this time, the distance had reached three hundred meters, and Karl pressed the cannon button.
"Tom tom!" The three cannons fired in unison, and the shells whistled in, and in an instant, they smashed into the Mustang fighters.
"Boom!" This fighter plane was directly hit and exploded in the air!
