"All ready!" Dongfang Siyuan sat in the cockpit of the fighter jet, and said to his teammates through the radio while pushing the moving part in the middle of the glass cockpit canopy forward with a bang.

On the radio channel, there were immediately replies from several other people, and everyone was ready to take off for battle.

Dongfang Siyuan turned a knob on the left side to start the ignition, the fuselage shook slightly a few times, and with a "gurgling" sound, the engine of this fighter started up.

What Dongfang Siyuan is flying now is a fighter belonging to the "Fort Cletche" series, the C-104A biplane fighter, which is also known as the "Bison A" fighter.

Dongfang Siyuan's biplane fighter uses the player's optional red livery, which looks very aggressive.

The "Bison" series of biplanes, to put it bluntly, looks like a large barrel with wings and cockpit canopy - the fuselage is short and thick, and in the nose, there is a relatively exposed star-type air-cooled engine, which can provide more sufficient power for this aircraft.

The whole aircraft hardly looks like it has the characteristics of a streamlined design, but this early fighter is full of raw and somewhat rugged aesthetics of machinery.

Well, for the uninitiated, of course, they haven't been able to develop and unlock those advanced, cool-looking propeller planes, and even the new era of jet fighters that look very tall.

The Bison A is armed with two 7.7mm machine guns located in the nose and uses machine gun synchronizers to assist in firing.

Among the aircraft near this combat assessment value, such firepower is not too weak, it can be said that it is decent.

Now, with a whine, the engine has reached a high rev.

"I'll take off first, and you'll be on your heels closer!" Dongfang Siyuan looked at the data of each instrument, and then said in the radio channel.

After speaking, Dongfang Siyuan opened the flap through the left device, drove it to the take-off position, and then immediately pushed the throttle valve located on the left side of the cabin and pushed it directly to the front top.

Siyuan's "Bison A" biplane fighter began to accelerate, and soon, it took off - this kind of biplane does not need a long taxi distance.

The planes of several other companions also took off one after another.

Behind Siyuan's "Bison" were two C-203A biplane light bombers and an Aircaravan-02A-b "Air Caravan Bomber Modification" biplane medium bomber.

The C-203A, a biplane bomber, also reveals a bit of the rugged style of early aircraft - the entire fuselage is like a toothpaste box, the only difference from the toothpaste box is that the rear of the fuselage is gradually shrinking; A canopy made of multiple pieces of glass and steel is thus mounted on the "large toothpaste box"; The toothpaste and the front end are also slightly "streamlined" design elements, and the entire nose is like a propeller installed, with a slight curve of the old-fashioned truck front, and the engine is located in this "truck head", and on both sides of this "truck head" are arranged with dark engine exhaust pipes.

The C-203A is a two-seater biplane, with the pilot in the front seat, the player, flying and dropping bombs, and also controlling a 7.7mm front-firing machine gun in the nose and a 7.7mm machine gun in the rear, which can be controlled by the player or auto-fire.

"Air Caravan Bombing Modification", in the background of the game, is a medium bomber converted from a cargo plane, the whole bomber, with four 7.7 machine guns as defensive weapons - one in the nose, one on the back, and one on each side, these defensive weapons, all of which can fire automatically, or operated by the player separately - due to the shape of its original fuselage, the rear cannot be equipped with a defensive machine gun.

Siyuan's biplane fighter will provide cover for Yang Zhemao's "air caravan", and at the same time, the two biplane light bombers of Le Hongkai and Fang Hanyin can also provide some cover support for the "air caravan".

This time, Siyuan decided to carry out a ground attack.

In Metal Front, victory is determined by the score of each team, and the score of each side is determined by many factors, such as the capture of various points on the front line, the destruction of each camp, and the achievement of certain tactical objectives.

AI units that attack the ground can not only earn game points for themselves, but also help their team get closer to victory from the side.

"Okay, everyone should know the mission." Speaking of this, Si Yuan turned his head sideways, looked at a war zone map sandwiched on the map clipboard in the cabin, and then continued to say in the channel, "The enemy AI should be assembled by the lake on the south side of the battlefield, let's rush over now!" ”

Everyone agreed in the channel.

These planes maintain a not very neat formation - Siyuan's fighter jet is directly in front of the formation, and directly behind it is Zhemao's "air caravan", on both sides of this bomber, are the two biplane light bombers of Le Hongkai and Fang Hanyin, the whole formation, theoretically speaking, should be an almost isosceles triangle formation, the four planes will theoretically be in the same plane, but now, these four planes are at different altitudes, fortunately, the height difference is not very large, and the shape of the whole formation, It's not an isosceles triangle at all - okay, for a novice, this level is pretty decent.

And the captain Siyuan's reminder to this formation is just "Everyone pay attention to keep a distance, here I mean don't get too close, be careful not to bump into each other." ”

Well, for newbies, that's what they need to focus on the most.

Controlling a flying vehicle is not as easy as controlling a ground vehicle, and if you are not particularly skilled in piloting and still have to fly in close formation, then you may not need the opponent's aircraft at all, and you can directly destroy half of the aircraft.

Anyway, it's not a formation flight show, and there is nothing unsuitable for such an "irregular three-dimensional" formation.

Siyuan straightened his back slightly and looked at the ground in the distance on one side: "The enemy AI ground vehicle is over there, adjust the direction and prepare to attack!" ”

"Wait a minute! There is a case! There are enemy planes in the distance! Looks like it's flying over there, too! "There was a hint from Hongkai on the radio channel.

Siyuan wiped the glass of the cockpit canopy with the sleeve of his flight suit, looked carefully in the direction of the other plane, and then said, "Ah...... That's right! Those are two F-1020 fighters, although the exact model is not very clear. There was a plane in the distance, I couldn't see it clearly, and I didn't know if it was coming to hit us......"

The F-1020 fighter is a biplane fighter of the "Brittsheld" series, one of which is equipped with two 7.7 mm machine guns, and the other is a more advanced model, the F-1020, which is equipped with a 7.7 mm machine gun and a 12.7 mm machine gun.

"That'...... Do we want to carry out a ground attack or not? After all, we only have one fighter. Hanyin asked.

"Wait a minute, think about it later......" Siyuan said.

If you attack rashly, bombers that are not as maneuverable as fighters will be attacked, and if you don't attack on the ground, it is possible that these AI tanks will attack friendly forces on the ground.

The AI's ground units are approaching their own ground combat vehicles step by step, and the opponent's planes not far away are getting closer and closer to the sky above those AI vehicles.

Now, it is up to Siyuan to make a decision in a short period of time: to carry out a ground attack or to cancel the attack.

On the battlefield, it is necessary to make decisions on the spot, and there is not much time for thought.

If you choose correctly, you can protect the aircraft, or effectively strike at the ground units, if you choose the wrong one, you may let your own ground units be attacked, or even your own aircraft will be seriously damaged by the attack - of course, these situations do not give Siyuan time to "simulate deduction" in his mind.
