"Instructor, why do they use melee mechs? Shouldn't ranged mechs be more advantageous heads-up? Although Wang Yi has a belly of mecha knowledge, it is all on paper, and he has not experienced real combat.

James glanced at Wang Yi and didn't answer Wang Yi's question, but asked, "Tell me, why do you think the long-range mecha is more advantageous to go head-to-head?" ”

Although he has not fought in actual combat, Wang Yi is also experienced in the boot training camp, he sorted out his thoughts a little and said: "Needless to say, human-level mechas, regardless of melee long-range mechas, are all made of cheap weapons, such as automatic artillery, standard laser guns or standard laser swords, etc. When it comes to sergeant mechs and above, mechs can be divided into two types: melee mechs and ranged mechas. I think there are several reasons why long-range mechs are superior in heads-up: First, long-range mechs have the advantage of range, and they can preemptively suppress the fire of melee mechs in heads-up. The standard laser sword equipped with a melee mech is almost a chicken rib when facing the fire of ranged mechs. Second, the ranged mecha is more skilled and maneuverable, and if it is a master, it can rely on flexible footwork to move the kite opponent. Third, ranged mechs are not less skill-dependent than melee mechs. For a melee mecha, skills are the lifeblood, and if the skills are not played well, half of the battle has already been lost. But for a long-range mecha, skills are not the most important, the most important thing is the thermal weapon in hand, as long as there is ammunition, the long-range mecha will always have high damage, which is not comparable to the melee mecha. ”

"That's a good point!" James' eyes lit up. He was so happy in his heart, originally he thought that Wang Yi was a potential stock, but his physical fitness was relatively strong, but he didn't expect Wang Yi to have such a deep understanding of mechas, this is simply a high-performance stock, which really surprised him. For a freshman who has just entered the school, mecha is unfamiliar, and mecha combat is even more unfathomable, even if it is a senior student's understanding of mecha combat, I am afraid that it is not as comprehensive as Wang Yi just said.

James is even more determined to train Wang Yi well, and he will be the core of the Fire Wolf team in the future. He stabilized his excited mind and said, "You can tell me what you just said, which means that your understanding of mecha is already very good. I know that the Galaxy game is very hot right now, and I'm afraid that your experience just now came from that, right? ”

"Yes." Wang Yi said.

That's right, boot camp is also a version 2.0 of Galaxy Games.

James continued: "You're right, but the starting point is too idealistic. There is a gap between theory and reality. I can answer your questions one by one. The first point is that you say that long-range mechs have the advantage of range, which is indeed not wrong, but there will be deviations in actual operation. Ring battles are different from the battlefield, relying on a large number of long-range mecha on the battlefield can suppress the fire of the melee mecha, but the two sides of the ring battle are only fifty meters apart, if it is facing a melee mecha with displacement skills, the long-range mecha will be very uncomfortable.

The second point is that the long-range mecha is indeed highly operable, but it requires the pilot to have a high level of shooting literacy. Melee mechs are different from ranged mechas, although the upper limit of operation is lower than that of ranged mechas, but they are easy to get started, and the skills are generally simple and crude, so melee mechs are more popular in the army. A good pilot is more expensive than a high-level mecha, and the amount of money spent to train an ace pilot is astronomical, and a reasonable ratio of long-range and short-range mechs is very important for mecha troops.

Third, long-range mecha does not eat skills, but long-range mecha has a very fatal shortcoming, that is, the weapon system is very complex. Whether it is the ammunition carried or the instruments and equipment of the fire control system, it will increase the weight of the mecha, and in order to increase the flexibility of the mecha, all the current long-range mecha have taken measures to reduce the defense to make up for it, which makes the long-range mecha very crispy, as long as it takes a little damage, it may explode. Moreover, long-range mecha is expensive to build, and if the damage rate is too large, it is financially unaffordable, and it is far less economical and practical than a melee mecha with rough skin and thick flesh. Therefore, at present, the ratio of long-range mecha and melee mecha in the army is generally three-seven, long-range mecha is mainly used as the output core, and melee mecha is responsible for more tasks. ”

James said in detail, Wang Yi listened very carefully, these valuable experiences cannot be provided by the training of the boot camp, James's level as the captain of the Fire Wolf squad is undoubted, and the advantages and disadvantages of long-range mecha and melee mecha are analyzed very well. The two of them were talking energetically, when suddenly there was a loud noise in the ring, and a circular arena slowly rose from the ground, and dazzling spotlights lit up all around, and under the light, the two mechs were already in place. According to the international rules, the two sides of the battle of the same melee mecha are 20 meters apart, and the two sides of this competition are the melee mecha berserker driven by the scorpion and the melee mecha driven by the sand fox, and the referee of the game is Wu Yu.

"Game on!" Usu said bluntly.

In an instant, a looming hemispherical light film emerged around the ring, this light film is a low-level energy shield, which can prevent the battle on the field from spreading to the audience under the stage, and if the game on the field may injure people's lives, the energy shield will instantly activate emergency measures to protect the pilots on the field.

Hearing a roar from the Berserker, his body emitting a faint earthy yellow light, the Berserker raised his huge battle axe and rushed towards the second sword.

"This is the only skill of the berserker, the roar of the berserker, which can raise the power attribute of the mecha to a terrifying state in a short period of time through a special energy device, which is a very practical skill for a warrior-type mecha, but this explosive growth of strength is very heavy on the mecha, it can only last about three minutes at a time, and the cooldown time is very long, there are ten minutes, so the best way to face the roaring berserker is to temporarily avoid its edge and wait for its weak period before attacking." James explained.

Sure enough, the second sword envoy had no intention of engaging the berserker head-on, and the double sword was held in his hand and a vertical leap dodged in the oblique direction. The berserker who rushed over like a bull didn't have time to brake, and rushed straight through a dozen steps before stopping. Compared to the recklessness of the berserker, the second blade's dodge appeared to be chic and free, its twin knives held firmly in its hands, and it stepped forward while the berserker was not on a firm footing.

"The skill of the Second Blade is the Gyro Jump, which can leap a distance in the opposite direction of the body, and this skill gives the Second Blade a strong mobility, whether it is a close-range mecha or a critical blow to dodge a melee mecha. The disadvantage is that this skill can only be used in the opposite direction, and it is awkward to use it for non-skilled people. Moreover, the Gyro's Leap does not have a long range of movements, and it does not have any attack bonuses, which is a hard damage for an Assassin-type mech. James said.

In the ring, the double knives of the second knife envoy were about to stab the berserker's body, but the berserker did not dodge or dodge, and the big axe was horizontal, and he caught the charged blow of the second knife envoy. Hearing a loud bang that shook the sky, the second sword envoy was shocked and flew upside down, and the berserker also fell to the ground on one knee unsteadily. The second sword envoy is used to make a knife by inertia, and the berserker does not have any borrowing force, purely from the perspective of strength, the second knife envoy really can't take any advantage.

The Berserker's state couldn't last long, and it paused for a second before rushing out again. The berserker's tomahawk carried the sound of the wind and slashed towards the chest of the second sword. The cooldown time of the second blade's whirling leap is not short, and at this time it has nowhere to avoid it, so it has to stretch out its knife to block. With a "bang", the blade and the axe blade sparked dazzling sparks, and finally the giant axe took the advantage in weight, and the second knife made one of the knives unable to bear it and flew out. The berserker was unforgiving, and the tomahawk swung back, charging up his strength and slashing at the second sword. Seeing this, Wang Yi had to sigh that there was no vanity under the fame, and the fire wolf squad even fought with their lives in ordinary training, no wonder they were called the elite of the elite. You must know that although there is the protection of the energy shield, it is difficult to guarantee 100% safety.

The Berserker's head is adorned with two curved horns, and in ancient times it was a great honor for a warrior to be able to wear a helmet decorated with curved horns, and the design of the Berserker mecha was inspired by the brave and fearless warrior. At this time, the berserker had a hideous horn on his head, and the tomahawk in his hand was about to touch the second sword, but between the lightning and flint, the whirling leap of the second sword was finally cooled, and the second knife made the waist and abdomen exert force, and the legs kicked the ground like a falcon and spread its wings, narrowly avoiding the axe blade that was close at hand.

It was at this time that the duration of Berserker's Roar also ended. The earthy glow faded from the berserker's body. Within the next ten minutes, it will enter a phase of weakness. As if he saw hope, the second knife stabbed the berserker's ribs with a single knife in his hand. The Berserker still wanted to block the knife again, but its strength was not as strong as before, and the tomahawk was too bulky, and it was still a beat slower than the knife of the second sword. The tip of the second sword's knife was about to pierce the berserker's armor, and with the sharpness of this knife, even the berserker's thick armor would definitely not be able to stop it.

"Bang!" The energy shield lit up with a dazzling brilliance, forming a layer of defense around the berserker's body, blocking all the attacks of the second sword, and the second sword envoy was also bounced out because he could not withstand the force. The energy shield has been activated, so there is no need for the referee to decide, and the side protected by the energy shield will definitely lose.
