"The first large-scale naval battle between the Central and Entente powers finally came to an end, and as expected, the Germans emerged victorious. Fortunately, the main forces of the Entente fleet were still there, but the carrier-based aircraft forces suffered heavy losses. If nothing else, the U.S. fleet will choose to return home after a slight correction. We could just join forces with the American fleet and deal with the Germans all the way. Summer summed up the battle of the Atlantic in a rough way.

"How's the Navy's preparations going? I don't want anything to go wrong in the first battle of the Navy. The big war is coming, and Xu Jie is also a little nervous. The Navy claims to be the arm that can decide the outcome of an entire war in one afternoon. The fragility of the large main force made Xu Jie have to be prepared as well. And from the just-concluded Atlantic naval battle, Xu Jie found that the attack power of the Germans was still somewhat beyond Huaxia's previous estimates. I thought that the Allied fleet, equipped with a large number of Spitfire 9 fighters, could block this wave of fierce attacks from the other side, but in the end, the Allied countries still lost 5 aircraft carriers! And this is still in the case of the full defense of the Entente!

"I have to say that before our 40,000-ton supercarrier is put into service, there is still a certain gap between our aircraft carrier formation and the Germans, the Germans' Europa-type aircraft carriers are larger than our 30,000-ton Heilongjiang-class aircraft carriers, these aircraft carriers can take off and land twin-engine attack aircraft, and these killers who can carry various electronic equipment and guided weapons reflect a combat effectiveness far greater than their proportion, More than half of the losses of the Allied fleet were inflicted by less than one-sixth of the twin-engine aircraft, and their precise attacks and super-powerful weapons were so terrible that it could even be said that all the current warships could not stop such an attack. THE 100MM ARMORED FLIGHT DECK COULD NOT STOP THE 1-TON ARMOR-PIERCING PROJECTILES FALLING FROM A HIGH ALTITUDE. If you hit. We can only hope that there are no hits! Su Mo's calm words were filled with some helplessness.

The Germans already had 3 large aircraft carriers of the Europa type, so it was possible to organize an air fleet with a larger twin-engine attack aircraft. But not in Huaxia. The tonnage of Huaxia's 30,000-ton standard aircraft carrier can only carry a small number of twin-engine early warning aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft. That is to say, at present, the aircraft carrier formation of Huaxia has only increased the fleet's perception and electronic warfare capabilities, but the attack power has not been substantially improved.

"We currently have a total of 10 aircraft carriers that can be dispatched at any time. There are two new 40,000-ton supercarriers that are forming combat strength and are not suitable for pulling into the battlefield right now. The two Liaoning-class aircraft carriers are lightly protected medium-sized fleet aircraft carriers, and they undertake the task of training on naval aviation ships. And their own defense is not enough, so they are not suitable for the battlefield, and we can only mobilize 8 30,000-ton armored aircraft carriers. From the current point of view, the strength of this fleet is enough to cope with the current situation. After Su Mo finished speaking, he motioned to Xu Yandong, who was in charge of naval aviation operations next to him, to continue the following analysis.

"Our planned eight armored aircraft carriers can carry a total of more than 850 aircraft of various types, including 40 twin-engine aircraft carrying radar and electronic warfare equipment, and the remaining 800 aircraft are new Skua fighters and single-engine attack aircraft based on Skua. I have to say, you really have a unique vision. Equipped with a new 2,350-horsepower twin-row 18-cylinder engine, the performance of the Skua fighter has been significantly improved. Although there is still a little gap between the climb rate and the Stone Tea Falcon, the low-altitude speed and firepower are definitely first-class. Xu Yandong patted the ass a little first.

Although the Skua fighter of this plane was born from the historical pirate fighter, it is better than its ancestors, first of all, the iconic inverted gull-shaped wing of the pirate type has been replaced, the advantage of this layout is not large, and the weight is rigid, and the processing is also very difficult. The change to a laminar wing improves the aircraft's performance at high speeds and reduces weight. Right now. The Huaxia version of the pirate has finally reduced the empty weight to about 3.6 tons, which is quite good compared to the original empty weight of more than 4 tons. The new twin-row 18-cylinder engine, which was specially designed for the Skua fighter, was also more powerful and lighter than the engines used in the early Corsairs in history.

This is not to say that the technology of this plane has surpassed the engines of the later Virate mid-range models N years earlier, but it has adopted the right trade-off. For example, the historical Corsair 1D used a 2-stage 2-speed supercharged engine, and the supercharging was to eat the engine power, and the more stages were added. Then the lower the power that the engine can actually use. Generally speaking, it is better for two-stage supercharged fighters to adapt to the new, for example, the Spitfire, Mustang, and Corsair in World War 2 are all two-stage supercharged. But considering the height of the engagement of naval fighters, two-stage supercharging is actually a bit of a luxury. After all, generally speaking, naval fighters do not need to fly to an altitude of more than 7,000 meters to fight, more emphasis is placed on the ability to fight at medium and low altitudes, and at the same time the requirements for horsepower are also better. Therefore, considering the problems of cost and operational needs, the first high-power engine equipped by Huaxia for the Skua fighter used a first-stage three-speed supercharger.

In this plane, Huaxia's lightweight version of the Corsair fighter has a maximum flight speed of more than 700 kilometers at 6,000 meters! And the maximum speed at sea level is more than 600 km/h! The initial climb to sea level reached more than 4,000 feet per minute! The fuel load is also 900 liters! Judging from the data, the data of the Skua 3 fighter using high-standard oil has been able to surpass the historical FW190D aircraft. PLUS 4 POWERFUL SPANANO 20MM CANNONS AND A NEW K14 COMPUTATIONAL SIGHT. The Skua fighter can be described as amazing! Even at low altitudes, the Shicha Falcon fighters used by the Huaxia Air Force can be suppressed, and the gap at high altitudes is not large! And this new and improved model finally reversed people's bad reviews of the Skua series, and it was called a pheasant to a phoenix within the Chinese Navy!

Historically, the Corsair and the FW190 had one thing in common, and that was that they were extremely versatile. The FW190 fighter could be used as a bomber, and there were even torpedo-mounted models, as did the Corsair. Let's not talk about the AU1, a magic modified attack aircraft of the same level as AD1, the Corsair fighter that was in service in World War 2 alone can hang 2 small Tim rockets and 8 5-inch rockets! The total weight of the vehicle is more than 1.5 tons! And the maximum single-engine payload is nearly 1 ton!

If only to make a dive bomber. The Skua 3 fighter can do it at the same time, but the difficulty is still in the torpedo plane. It is difficult for an ordinary fighter to install a torpedo without modification. And through the efforts of the aviation technical department of the Chinese Navy. As a torpedo machine, the Skua 3T attack aircraft has strengthened the fuselage structure while reducing its speed, and it is possible to mount two torpedoes in the lower part of the aircraft's belly! At the same time, you can hang two more 150L drop fuel tanks under the wings! Of course, in this case the take-off weight will reach about 8 tons, and if it is not in a particularly backward position, it will have to be taken off with a catapult.

Thanks to the powerful twin wasp engines, this aircraft can still reach a cruising speed of about 450 kilometers per hour when fully loaded with bombs! And the maximum sprint speed can reach more than 620 km/h! Of course, if you throw away the two drop tanks, the speed will be increased. It can be said that, in addition to not being able to carry guided weapons, the combat performance of the Skua 3T attack aircraft can already suppress the twin-engine aircraft of the Germans. The weapon load does not suffer, it is faster, of course, the range is shorter.

From the point of view of operational concepts, the Chinese Navy and the German Navy are extremely similar, both require the high-speed and generalization of carrier-based aircraft groups, the only difference is in technology, although the German FW190 fighter is very powerful. However, due to the smaller body and the tragic engine, these shrike birds, known as the fiercest of the Second Empire, are much worse than the pirate-born skura, not to mention that the BMW 801's excessive weight and output of only 1700 to 1800 horsepower are much worse than the smaller weight of the double wasp and the output of 2350 horsepower! The only gap between China and the Germans at present is that they have not yet achieved the large-scale launch of twin-engine carrier-based aircraft and guided weapons. Of course, judging by the configuration of the carrier-based aircraft group of the German aircraft carrier fleet, the proportion of twin-engine attack aircraft is still very low. But relying on a huge base, the Germans were still able to amass hundreds of twin-engine attack aircraft. And Huaxia can't do it now. This can only be done after the CVX03 type municipality-class aircraft carrier enters service!

Although it is impossible to make up a large-scale twin-engine attack aircraft, Huaxia's eight 30,000-ton fleet aircraft carriers are still equipped with 30 twin-engine aircraft. The main mission of these twin-engine aircraft is to serve as maritime radar warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, and long-range reconnaissance aircraft. As a traverser Xu Jie has always wanted to emulate the early warning aircraft of later generations, install a huge antenna on the fuselage of the twin-engine carrier-based aircraft, after this plan was proposed, the naval technical department has specially studied, first of all, the navy affirmed the forward-looking of this technology, and also admitted that the radar located in the upper part of the fuselage does have a better detection effect, and said that in the future, Huaxia's 4-engine large early warning aircraft will adopt this layout, but unfortunately the carrier-based twin-engine aircraft can not do this, first of all, This will greatly increase the height of the fuselage of the twin-engine AWACS, and the hangar may not be able to fit down! Moreover, compared with the size of the twin-engine aircraft, the radar antenna on the upper part of the fuselage has too much influence on the maneuvering layout of the aircraft, which seriously affects the take-off and landing performance.

"If there are no major discrepancies in the information provided by the American fleet, is it understandable that the German naval aviation has also been broken in this battle? Although the aircraft carrier fleet is still in place, but the carrier-based aircraft forces will be in a weak state for quite some time? "After introducing the situation of the Huaxia fleet, it is time to discuss tactical issues, and before discussing this issue, you must first know the situation of the opponent, so Xu Jie specifically asked about the situation of the German fleet.

"The Germans have indeed suffered heavy losses, and the Americans say that the Germans have lost at least half of their carrier-based aircraft is in line with the actual situation, but it may not be enough to say that the combat effectiveness is weak, because the German Navy has a "carrier-based aircraft force on the shore", and the training of this force is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the carrier-based aircraft unit, and even each formation has arranged corresponding aircraft carriers. Their role is to immediately replenish the aircraft carrier in the event of damage to the carrier-based aircraft force, and the size of this air force is about 800 aircraft, which can basically make up for the loss of the carrier-based aircraft force. Of course, a decrease in fighting qualities is certain. Also, according to our intelligence, there may be problems with the replenishment of the German twin-engine attack aircraft. On the one hand, the bombers equipped with guided weapons were themselves expensive and few in number, and on the other hand, the Germans seemed to have transferred them to the Spanish and French occupation zones. Zhang Yuntao, who was in charge of intelligence on the side, reported.

"Well, transferred to Spain and France?" Xu Jie fell into deep thought, "It seems that the Entente fleet has also withdrawn somewhere." It seems that the Germans want to cut the grass and eradicate it! Xu Jie quickly thought of the Germans' plan, the Germans will definitely hit the sea and air forces to attack the remaining fleet of the Allied countries off the coast of France, and now the Allied fleet only has about 1,000 aircraft, and the excellent Spitfire 9 fighter jets have lost most of them, and according to the situation of the Allied air forces in France, the help they can provide is also very limited. This time, it will depend on the combat effectiveness of the Huaxia Air Force.

"Tell the Americans and the British that the Chinese fleet will cross the Pacific in 1 month. And even if the sea transportation line is broken, Huaxia's Foxbat fighter force will still support the Royal Air Force according to the flight route of the United States-Canada-Greenland-Iceland-Britain. And the number of aircraft reinforced weekly will be even higher. Xu Jie turned to the confidential secretary next to him and said. This passage has two meanings, the first is to prepare the Americans for another battle, and the second is to relieve Britain and the United States of worries, so that they can devote more combat power to ensure the safety of the fleet in the next battle.

There is no need to be afraid of the 500KG bombs and torpedoes carried by conventional aircraft, but the really scary ones are those heavy bombs weighing a ton. It is precisely because of the existence of these big guys that the Huaxia Air Force is a little jealous. Otherwise, if the simple pirate improved version plays FW190, Huaxia is not afraid at all.

"Replace all the ship's anti-aircraft shells with radio proximity fuse shells. GUIDED WEAPONS ARE USED AT A RELATIVELY HIGH HEIGHT, AND THEY HIT FAR, GENERALLY 40MM GUNS CANNOT THREATEN AT ALL, AND THE FIRE DENSITY OF 5-INCH GUNS IS NOT ENOUGH, SO NOW THEY CAN ONLY MAKE UP FOR IT WITH SHELLS. Xu Jie hesitated, and definitely pressed Huaxia's biggest chip at present! Radio proximity fuses were actually used in the Iran War, but they have not been installed on a large scale, partly because of secrecy, and on the other hand, because they are too expensive, precision radio fuses and high R&D and manufacturing costs, making the price of these shells terrible!

"Remember, this is the first large-scale battle of our Huaxia Navy in almost 30 years. The brilliance on the battle flag of the Chinese Navy was exchanged for the blood of the officers and men of the past dynasties, and whether we can take the initiative in future wars depends on how well this war is fought! This battle, please! In the end, Xu Jie concluded.
