225. The mood is a little complicated
When Radiance and Belfast unfurled their hulls at the docks, the eyes of the Royal Navy and the German wives all lit up.
The revamped Glorious hull has become the appearance of a modern aircraft carrier, and the combination of deck float design and beveled deck is very visually impactful.
It turned out that the Royal Navy ships who were familiar with the Radiant hull felt that the Radiant was twice as large.
With a full load displacement of 38,000 tons, it is a small aircraft carrier in modern intelligence, but it is a large fleet aircraft carrier in World War II.
Liaoning did not unfold the hull next to it, and there was no comparison, which made everyone on the scene feel that the glorious hull was extraordinarily large.
On the other side, Belfast has also completely changed the shape of a modern cruiser, and the paint has also become a modern silver-gray, and the messy equipment on the original hull has been removed, and all the things that cannot be dismantled have been uniformly ordered, and those that can be closed have been closed, and the current hull looks exceptionally simple.
Hood had a thoughtful expression: "When I look at the current Belfast, I think of Changchun and Taiyuan, as well as Nanchang, they are all ...... this style."
Compared with Hood, the impact on other cruisers and destroyers is equally great, and several shipwives are envious, and everyone thinks that this is obviously more beautiful.
Eventually, Hood, Prince of Wales, Rodney, Ark Royal, and Liaoning boarded the glorious hull, and Suffolk, Norfolk, and Nanchang boarded the Belfast hull.
Bismarck wanted to keep up with the glorious hull, but was stopped by Rodney's outstretched hand: "I'm sorry, it's inconvenient for you to see the hull of the glorious sister." ”
Hood heard the commotion, glanced back, and muttered in a low voice, "Bismarck......"
"Humph!" Bismarck snorted coldly and directly unfolded the hull next to him, letting his wife get on his own hull, and Crimson followed with the task of supervising Bismarck.
The First Military Port did not have a target ship dedicated to wasting resources, and Mu Feng didn't want them to destroy the environment in the strait, so he asked them to go to the open sea to find a coral reef protruding from the sea surface for target testing.
The first was Nanchang to guide Belfast to test missiles.
Radiance carried the other ships of the Royal Navy, and Bismarck carried the German ship, and stayed together at a position of 10 kilometers on the side of the coral reef as spectators.
The Belbaster traveled to a distance of about 45 kilometers to the coral reef, and under the guidance of Nanchang, a helicopter was first released for observation and guidance.
After locking on to the target, according to the operation process, four missiles were released in succession.
Under the gaze of the two commanders, four missiles weighing almost two tons rose into the air with flames and whistling sounds, and cut an arc in the air.
The four missiles flew for almost three minutes, and all of them hit the reef accurately.
With the sound of violent explosions and thick smoke, a large coral reef that was originally exposed to the water was directly blown up.
Belfast, as well as Suffolk and Norfolk on board, cheered almost simultaneously when they learned that all the missiles had hit:
"Hit!"
Nanchang explained with a smile next to him: "The hit rate of the improved upstream 1 pair of moving warships is as high as 90%, and the hit rate of fixed targets is almost 100%, and it is abnormal to miss it."
"The missiles we designed have armor-piercing and high-explosive warheads that can be replaced at any time, and can penetrate the main armor and horizontal armor of most battleships outside the range of battleships."
Listening to Nanchang's assurance, the three cruiser mothers became even more excited, and they had an unprecedented sense of relief in their hearts, because they were able to "penetrate the armor of the battleship outside the range of the battleship".
This means that in the future, in the face of battleships, as cruisers, they will not be beaten unilaterally.
10 kilometers away, the two groups of ship mothers, looking at the smoke billowing sea, have different moods.
Rodney squinted his eyes and muttered: "The distance is 45 kilometers, the time is 3 minutes, and the hit rate is 100% for the time being." ”
Hood looked at Bismarck not far away: "It should be powerful enough to penetrate Bismarck's armor." ”
The Prince of Wales clasped his hands on his chest: "The range of the missile far exceeds Bismarck's main gun, and if it really starts, Bismarck will have no power to fight back at all." ”
The Royal Ark next to him held his forehead with one hand: "If it's okay to penetrate Bismarck, it can also penetrate the armor of the three of you, right?" Bismarck: They will also buy Mufeng's missiles, right? What do you have to be happy about? ”
Rodney, the Prince of Wales, and Hood's expressions suddenly became solemn:
"That's a real problem."
Radiance was not very interested in these things, and stood next to him and waved his hand:
"Let's not talk about that, Ark, you unfold the hull and test the actual performance of the fighter with me."
"Good!" Ark Royal nodded, left the bridge, jumped onto the surface, distanced himself from the light, unfurled the hull, and began to fly the plane.
Bismarck, on the other side, looked at the results of this test, and his brows furrowed tightly.
Zeppelin asked next to him, "What are you worried about?" They can be equipped with this missile, and we can equip it, so we don't have to worry about anything. ”
Bismarck shook his head: "It's not a problem, according to Mu Feng, this kind of missile destroyer can carry 4 pieces."
"That is, the destroyer can penetrate the battleship outside the range of the battleship, so what is the point of the existence of the battleship?"
Zeppelin blinked: "Didn't Mu Feng say that the number of missiles that can be loaded on different hulls is different, and you can carry more missiles with a large hull." ”
Bismarck shook his head again: "This is not the point, in the past, as the capital ship, we suppressed small ships unilaterally, but later we stood on the same level."
"In addition to being larger and more defensive, we have no absolute advantage, and if there is another battle in the future, I will choose to let a few destroyers with missiles to besiege the battleship......"
Zeppelin was stunned for a moment: "I seem to understand......"
At this time, Z16 Frederica stretched out her hand and pointed outside: "Sister Bismarck, Sister Zeppelin, the Royal Ark has unfolded its hull, it should be to test the plane with the glory......"
"Oh......" Bismarck immediately pulled Zeppelin, "don't think about anything else, you also unfold the hull and release the plane, and watch their battle carefully." ”
"I know." Zeppelin agreed, and jumped to the surface of the sea.
At the same time, Guanghui recalled Mu Feng's explanation, and under the on-site command of Liaoning, began to try to release the plane with a catapult.
After almost half an hour of preparation, Tei released 12 planes without bombs, and Ark Royal released 12 Sea Spitfire MK47s.
Both sides were ready at a distance of 20 km.
Brilliant is a very mature aircraft carrier, very familiar with air combat, and now it has replaced a completely different form of aircraft, and for the sake of insurance, I still asked the Liaoning next to it:
"Sister Liaoning, if you use this kind of plane to fight with an ordinary plane, is there anything you need to pay attention to?"
Liaoning listened to this sister, and smiled inexplicably:
"It's not fundamentally different from ordinary combat, it's still a repeated cycle of 'discovery-observation-attack-disengagement', anyway, don't stay and fight the enemy like a novice......
"Of course not." Radiance smiled and shook his head, radioed to the Ark Royal, and the two planes began to fly in opposite directions at the same time.
Mufeng's generation machine has a primary radar, and the glorious silver fox first confirmed the position of the Sea Spitfire NK47, and then immediately began to climb, and after the distance was right, it dived down directly.
As the planes of the Ark Royal flew, they saw a plane rushing out from the direction of the sun.
Before the Royal Ark could react, the cannon of the Silver Fox Plane had already opened fire, and after knocking out the three Sea Spitfires, it immediately broke away at high speed again.
There were still 9 planes left in Ark Royal, but they couldn't catch up with the accelerating group of brilliant planes, and could only watch the other side leave the battle area.
There is still not much suspense in the battle that follows.
The Radiant Aircraft has a radar that can quickly locate the Ark Royal's planes, and then use the aircraft's strength to quickly seize the airspace, and quickly break away after each attack.
Enter the attack course, launch an attack, quickly disengage, and then regain possession of the airspace until all the fighters of the Ark Royal are shot down, and the glorious Silver Fox plane is not even injured.
The improved version of the Sea Spitfire MK47 is the Sea Fang, which can be regarded as a very good model among the propeller carrier-based aircraft, but in the face of the crushing of the era of the super-generation aircraft, it has no power to fight back at all, and it is hung and beaten throughout the whole process.
As for staying and fighting, relying on the maneuverability of the propeller to win, that can only be an illusion.
Even if it is a fight between propeller planes, unless it is a last resort, such as being unable to successfully break away after an attack, and being bitten, a close scuffle will occur.
This is equivalent to the two swordsmen fighting to the end, exhausted, and can only twist and fight with each other.
Of course, the silver fox will not be bitten by the sea spitfire, and the P51 and F6F will not be bitten by the Zero, saying that the Zero is more flexible than these aircraft and has strong close-range combat ability, in fact, it is more appropriate to replace it with "desperate strong".
After the battle, the feeling of returning to the Royal Ark on the Radiance was a little mixed.
I have not participated in the battle of the Liaoning aircraft before, I have not directly faced this kind of aircraft, and I will never know how big the gap is simply by looking at it.
Now that I've experienced it myself, I finally fully understand the feeling of powerlessness, a little lost, and at the same time a little excited and expectant.
This kind of aircraft can be equipped sooner or later, and even if it can't be developed, it can be bought with resources.
If the command has the next aircraft carrier equipped with jet fighters, it must be itself.
So the Royal Ark was generally in a good mood, and after coming back, he directly gave Radiance a hug and patted Brilliance's back vigorously:
"You're cheap this time!"
Radiance knew that the Royal Ark was talking about getting the transformation first, and couldn't help but smile silently.
Liaoning next to him is also smiling silently, this brand-new, all-round leading aircraft, can you bear it after using it?
On the other side, Zeppelin, who had watched the battle the whole time, returned to the Bismarck with a serious face:
"Our direction is correct, the mature jet aircraft is the overall lead over the propeller, but our ME262 has too many problems, and the key is that it cannot be equipped on the aircraft carrier at present, and this 'silver fox' can be used as a reference object for further improvement."
Bismarck nodded seriously: "Okay, when Eugen comes back, I'll change the plane for you first, you can familiarize yourself with it, analyze it, and start relevant research immediately after you go back." ”
Zeppelin nodded solemnly.
