Chapter 44: Slap in the Face (4)

All small and medium-sized battle starships, including all "mechanized" class battle starships, are unable to install a lethal main gun due to power and size limitations.

In other words, their main guns are those secondary guns or machine guns on large starships, and the four energy cluster guns on Baron Joel's medium-sized assault ship are actually energy cannons at the secondary level, otherwise, a casual main gun can give Li Yi's small assault ship seconds.

But the main gun also has shortcomings, no matter how strong its lethality is, it is useless to hit the "mosquito".

Li Yi's small assault ship is a mosquito, and Baron Joel's medium-sized assault ship can only be regarded as a fly, and the two of them are half a pound and eight taels, and the secondary gun used for medium-range combat is the most suitable weapon for their duel.

Li Yi's clever use of laser cutting rays is no less than the benefits brought by the main gun, not only can it shoot continuously, but it can also command and control the direction in a non-locked state, and solve the problem that small and medium-sized warships cannot carry out long-range strikes.

The only drawback is that the lethality is a little weaker.

Just now, the energy shield of the medium-sized assault ship was slashed by a laser cutting ray, and the color hardly changed, it was still purple and blue, and at a glance, I knew that it had barely broken the defense!

Even after 5 seconds, with the Shield Energy Recharger charging, its shield value returned to full value again!

This is like beating the boss in the game, no matter how hard you fight, the blood recovery speed of the boss is faster than the blood loss speed, and the people are still full of blood after fighting for a long time.

However, Li Yi didn't care about this.

The blow he just hit was just practicing his hands and looking for a feel!

At this point, another 20 seconds have passed.

The distance between the two sides is already only 66 kilometers!

During this 20-second period, both sides made different moves.

Li Yizi didn't need to say much, and continued to practice his feelings.

He only used the No. 1 laser cutting ray to cut one or two knives on people's bodies from time to time, although the killing effect didn't seem to be good, but after a dozen knives, he actually cut the other party's purple-blue shield color into lake blue, which was still a part of the energy recharged, otherwise it would be sky blue now.

Experienced people can see at a glance that the energy shield of a medium assault ship should now be reduced to about 95%!

On the other hand, Li Yi's small assault ship was about to turn sky blue just now, but after the shield energy was recharged, it was actually lake blue now!

In other words, the energy shield values of both sides are once again on the same running line, and they are both about 95%!

Now many people have seen a hint of clues.

The small assault ship is not without advantages, it can continuously shoot laser cutting rays, and it can cause damage to the medium assault ship from time to time, and the energy cluster gun of the medium assault ship has an energy recharge time of up to 20 seconds, and the small assault ship has a clear advantage in the firing frequency!

The point is, no matter what type of starship, the normal energy shield recharge rate can restore almost 1% of the total shield value per second, so during the 20-second cooldown of the energy cluster gun, the energy shield of the small assault ship will recover at least 4%!

Under the advantage of one another, as long as Baron Joel can't hit Count Li Yi continuously, to the end, it is not possible for a small assault ship to drag a medium assault ship to death!

Baron Joel was also aware of the problem, but he was not in a hurry.

Just now, the two sides can only be regarded as testing each other, and the real duel has not yet begun, and it will only be seen which side the victory scale will fall to when the distance between the two sides enters the range of 60 kilometers, which is the best shooting range of the medium range.

His battle plan is very simple, that is, the conventional sling tactics, try to keep the distance between 20-60 kilometers with the opponent, so that his energy cluster gun can give full play to the greatest advantage, and the opponent can still only use laser cutting rays to tickle himself!

At this distance, it is difficult for the opponent's mobility advantage to be fully exerted, and it is not easy to avoid the diffuse fire of the four energy cluster guns in the best range!

And Baron Joel is not stupid, he will not really wait for 60 kilometers to start a hanging tactic, but after firing a volley at a distance of 66 kilometers, he stops advancing and slowly retreats!

After all, the cruising speed of others is faster than him, this is a measure of advance, and in another 20 seconds, the other party will just enter his best range, and when the time comes, another salvo may be able to beat the earl on the opposite side half-crippled!

And this salvo, luck was actually good, another beam of light hit the small assault ship on the opposite side, and the other three beam beams almost brushed the other side!

Obviously, after approaching the optimal distance range, the hit rate of the Energy Cluster Cannon has increased significantly!

"Hang me......"

Li Yi is not stupid, he can see the opponent's tactics at a glance, and even before the fight, he analyzed that the opponent will definitely do this.

The tactics of hanging and striking can be said to be the most widely used, the most conventional, and the simplest and most practical defensive and counterattack tactics in air combat at present, and its benefits are self-evident.

In actual combat, it is most suitable for starships with range advantages, and humans like to use this tactic to deal with artificial intelligence, but they don't like it, but there is no way, the brain control speed of artificial intelligence is very perverted, and once it is close to artificial intelligence, it will not die and shed its skin.

But Li Yi is not an artificial intelligence, not only is he not as mechanical and rigid as artificial intelligence, but his brain control speed is not inferior to that of artificial intelligence, and even surpasses the other party!

Looking at the energy shield value, there is still 83% left, and after 20 seconds, it can return to 87%, which is still in the safe range!

In a flash of thought, Li Yi decided to continue to rush again!

So in the eyes of everyone, I saw that the small assault ship whose energy shield color had changed to azure was still rushing forward at full speed as if it were dead!

Everyone began to shake their heads secretly at this moment, this earl's tactics are very unreasonable, and it is estimated that the next thing is to be beaten!

However, after 15 seconds, the small assault ship suddenly moved!

No, it was already moving, but now it's rolling!

It's not the kind of rolling on the ground, but the general direction of progress remains the same, and the irregular barrel rolling action is done in a small space!

And the small assault ship is not only rolling barrels, its hull itself is constantly rotating at 360 degrees!

Super Maneuver Combo Action - Benedict Axis Big Barrel!

All the people who eat melons are stunned for the N+1st time!

Baron Joel, who was preparing to fire an energy cluster cannon salvo 60 kilometers away, was also stunned!

At this time, Baron Joel's mind suddenly went blank, and he didn't know whether to give the order to fire a salvo.

How does this work?

Can you beat it?

Barrel maneuvering?

No, it's not difficult, civilian flying combatants can do it if they are willing to work hard, and after mastering the rules of its roller, it is relatively easy to estimate the amount of advance to hit!

But the irregular barrel maneuvering can only be done by the nobles, because it requires a higher hand speed, and the propulsion strength and angle of the auxiliary engine must be finely controlled at any time!

If you want to hit the irregular barrel, in addition to estimating the amount of advance, you also have to look at some luck!

But what if the hull of the ship is still making a 360-degree axis circle?

If you want to hit, it's almost a matter of luck!

Barrel maneuver + irregular maneuver + axis maneuver = Benedict Axis Big Barrel!

This combination maneuver is mainly used for defensive maneuvers by relatively large starships.

Starships of different shapes are not as good as fighters, and many times their construction is not completely concentrated on a plane, but three-dimensional!

From a distance, a space fighter is almost a point, and it may only have a cross-sectional area of less than 3 or 4 square meters, which is difficult to hit from the front, and even a small assault ship, its frontal cross-sectional area is much larger than that of a space fighter, in other words, the area exposed to the front of the enemy in the bow is relatively large, and it is easy to be hit!

Li Yi's small assault ship is shaped like a pistol, the body and barrel part are the core compartment and various core equipment, and the handle is where the cargo hold and launch device are located, such as thrusters, laser cutters, etc.

Therefore, from the front, the part that can be hit by the assault ship is not only the bow, but also the frontal part of the "gun handle", so that the frontal area will be greatly increased, and the probability of being hit will naturally increase exponentially!

As a result, a human pilot invented an axis maneuver to circumvent this problem.

This action is performed with the "barrel" as the axis, and the "handle" constantly rotates around it, which looks like a windmill that is slowly rotating, so it is also called "big windmill maneuver".

Later, an elite captain named Benedict combined the high-difficulty stunts of the irregular barrel into a super maneuverable move, which was named the Benedict Axis Big Barrel!

Not counting the Benedict Axis big barrel action, Li Yi was still in the process of spinning the "gun handle", accurately operating the laser cutting rays in a circle, and from time to time swept the medium-sized assault ship 60 kilometers away!

That's awesome!

The small assault ship is moving, the launch base is moving, the laser cutter is moving, the laser cutting ray is moving, and the medium assault ship on the opposite side is also moving, but he can still sweep the opponent in a manual way controlled manually!

How fast is that? How high is the IQ?

However, that's not all!

Brush!

The No. 2 laser cutter was also turned on by Li Yi!

So, two laser-cut rays were drawing circles while drawing on the body of the medium assault ship opposite!

As a result, the melon-eating masses in the audience were stunned for the N+2nd time!

As a result, the audience chose to stand in line again, thinking that the full-brained Lord Earl had great hopes of winning this battle, and it was not impossible for a small assault ship to overstep the class and explode a medium-sized assault ship!

But is Li Yi's brain power fully open?

No! Not really!

He only drove about 55%, which happened to be just in line with his status as an earl!

Or...... Another 10%?

Li Yi hurriedly put aside this thought!

It's not that he doesn't want to add it, but he vaguely feels that this small assault ship seems to have been played to the extreme by himself, and if he opens 10% of the hanging, he doesn't need the other party to call, and this thing will immediately fall apart into a pile of parts.

"It seems that I will really have to build my own starship in the future......"

Li Yi felt more and more that the world's starship design and manufacturing system was difficult to meet his requirements.
