343.Proxima Centauri 3
The troops of the first line have already begun to fight, and the troops of the second line array are also ready for battle.
Warfield's adjutant reported the information: "General, General Les has personally led the army and started to fight the Federation army, are we providing fire support?" ”
The military strength of the Federation Army is not weak, and it has a natural defensive advantage. Fortress guns are not vegetarian, and even battleships can't withstand a few shots.
So there is nothing to argue about this, Warfield nodded: "Okay, send the whole fleet, stabilize the formation, spread out the formation, use the whole artillery, and fully support the friendly forces!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
The correspondent immediately transmitted the order to the various fleets under its command.
After a while, all the battleships lined up in a "one" formation, this was in pursuit of the maximum artillery fire output, and the moment of the salvo of fire from all the gun crews, it absolutely exploded all the magnificent pictures seen before!
Yes, because as time went on, the fleet of the Sons of Keha grew in size, and each battle grew in scale. Especially this time, in order to open up the Proxima Centauri, which is heavily garrisoned by the Federation, the Son of Keha has mobilized more fleets than before, and the grandeur of the scene is self-evident.
It's just a pity that there is no way for people in the middle of such a magnificent scene to appreciate it. Only those who stay in the back of the third front can still have leisure and elegant appreciation, right?
Isha sat in his place, knocking Erlang's leg on the panel, a handful of popcorn in one hand and a glass of big Coke in the other, just like watching a movie, looking at everything that happened on the battlefield: "Damn, it's the first time I've found out, it turns out that wolves are so terrifying?!" ”
Maybe he paid too much attention to the mecha aspect in the past and didn't pay too much attention to the "wolf pack", but this time he really saw it!
The "Liberator" is one of the smallest warships, and in terms of rank, it is a "patrol ship" unit that is one level smaller than a frigate. Because it is a battleship, it is naturally impossible to engage in frontal collision contact combat like a mecha. Although there are no fancy fighting skills, or cool extreme micro-exercises, the "wolves" will bite, one after the other, pounce on the enemy until they knock them out!
According to Istta's observations, General Ursula, who he had noticed, happened to notice an enemy cruiser and was targeted by her for destroying a "wolf". So the wolves around her would pounce on her with her, bombarding them with beams or rockets one after another.
If one doesn't work, just two! If two doesn't work, let's have three more! Three is not enough? A bunch of them! And the wolves don't pounce in one direction, they come from all directions. Even this cruiser of the Federation, using the phalanx on the ship, formed an impermeable firepower network, but in the face of the bite of the terrifying wolves, it seemed to be powerless.
After all, even if the tonnage battleships of the "Liberator" are still in the battleship class, as long as they are not the frontal enemy's main guns, it is not easy to destroy them with the firepower network formed alone.
In particular, the fighting mode of the "wolf pack" is based on flexibility as the main way, and it is impossible to withstand the artillery fire, and when you find that you can't resist, you will temporarily withdraw from the battle in time, so that the comrades behind you will continue to pounce, and will not give the prey any respite at all.
In this way, it was obviously a cruiser at least three units higher than the Liberator, and it was forced to burst the protective shield. Then there was round after round of baptism of fire, and an explosion on the hull of the opponent's ship would tear off a piece of flesh. In the end, the explosion from the engine caused by the explosion that destroyed half of the ship's hull on the spot!
Seriously, this is just a cruiser, in fact, even if it is a larger battle cruiser, or a battleship, even against an opponent of the same level, you can fight back and forth. But when facing these "wolves", they often seem to be very vulnerable?
Ishtar thought for a while, and couldn't help but ask the adjutant beside him: "You say, why are our wolves, even battleships, but why are we afraid of the expulsion of destroyers, or the interception of frigates?" ”
The adjutant said, "Have you ever played Azoote? The layers of the food chain are added to the elephant that is clearly standing at the top, but it turns out that it is afraid of the weakest mice. Although Starship is not a game of chess, it still retains a similar stacking effect. Large warships can fight back and forth against ships of the same class or medium, based on the premise that their main weapons can be dealt with. However, when encountering small units that cannot be dealt with with with their giant cannons, they will look very pale and powerless, not to mention the large number of wolves who have transformed quantitative changes into qualitative changes. ”
It's not particularly explicit, but the reason is simple. Everyone should also know that from ancient times to the emergence of battleships, in addition to the armor that needs to withstand more damage, there is no doubt that "caliber is justice" belief! Isn't the main weapon of a battleship the main gun? If the main gun can't deal with the enemy, it will naturally become passive.
Of course, a battleship is a battleship, and as long as it appears, it will basically be the flagship of a fleet. Normally, there will be enough frigates and destroyers around you, and the wolves will rarely have a chance to get close. And even if it can be approached, what about it? The large size of the battleship has a more powerful close-in fire system. So unless it is necessary and there are enough men on board, a shot at the battleship will not be considered.
I don't know why, at this time, a thought suddenly popped into Istta's mind: "Pocket-class battleship!" Can the Liberator be built to be small and flexible, but also capable of powerful firepower and excellent protection? ”
The idea can be had, but it's a pity. When the adjutant knew what he thought, he scolded him as if he were stupid: "Are you stupid? Do you think that you don't need any space and volume to put things in? ”
I'll go! Watching the adjutant look at him like an idiot, Esta suddenly had a feeling that he was about to cry: MD, this is an exposure of his IQ.
Waving his hand, in order to hide his embarrassment, Isha hurriedly said: "Okay, let's look at the battle situation, look at the battle situation!" ”
