Chapter 105: The Mustache Who Was Pit Again
After a second round of firing from the large ship on the opposite side, and after another ship was destroyed, the attack of the missile group finally arrived.
In order not to waste missiles, although the distance between the player's ships is still a little far at the moment, the nine heavy fireships in the fleet still start the attack in advance.
The big ship that is constantly attacked by missiles can't use the evasion action with high acceleration, but no one expects the nine heavy firepower ships to inflict substantial damage on the big boss from a distance of 350,000 kilometers, mainly hoping to make the energy supply of the big ship strained.
Insufficient energy supply is an occasional problem for warships in battle, because warships are designed with cost-effectiveness in mind, and cannot use all the best equipment, and most of the engines are unable to maintain the main firepower and interception fire while keeping the shield charged at full speed in order to maintain efficiency utilization.
Energy scarcity is more affected on smaller ships, but because the interception equipment of small ships is basically more than that of frigates and above, all types of ships are almost affected, and the captain is required to decide which parts of the engine energy will be supplied mainly to reduce the energy consumption of the rest of the ship.
Taking corvettes as an example, the top few items with the highest energy consumption are the shield system, the main gun, the secondary gun, and the superpower resonance device. The Super Power Resonance Device will enhance the ship with the help of the captain's ability, and can also increase the survival rate after the shield is broken, so it is impossible to reduce this part of the energy consumption; The secondary gun is responsible for intercepting live weapons that are very dangerous to the battleship, and the shield is directly related to the safety of the battleship. The last thing that can be slightly adjusted is the main gun charge rate, which is also the most frequently used solution in the state of energy starvation.
With the help of heavy firepower ships to attack the shields of large ships, as well as the tactics of dispersing formations, it is hoped that the attack density of large ships can be reduced to an acceptable level.
Inside a certain ship, the mustachioed Yamada frowned as he looked at the holographic star map in front of him simulating the battle situation on the spot.
In the face of continuous missile attacks, the big ship lost its ability to evade at an uneven speed, but it actually abandoned the secondary weapons with a longer range and stronger range, and used a large number of five-level energy-consuming laser guns as interceptors.
As a result, the missile attack has only taken four seconds to penetrate the defense distance, and the most successful is only 20% of the breakthrough circle. As for the continuous firing performance of the laser cannon, I am afraid that the missile density will continue to increase and the result will not be better, unless the ship group can find a way to break through the shield and affect the interception and hit rate of the large ship from the physical aspect.
Structurally abnormal and having better interception capabilities is not what makes the mustache Yamada frown, he is annoyed that Ofune is taking advantage of this opportunity to slowly release a low-speed barrage with an electromagnetic cannon.
Different from the live ammunition released by the electromagnetic close defense gun at a relative speed of two or three thousand kilometers per second, the speed of the warhead in low-speed mode is often only a few hundred meters per second, combined with the number of electromagnetic guns and the firing frequency of thousands of rounds per minute, the barrage composed of those live ammunition is said to have an actual defensive effect comparable to an extra layer of outer armor from the ship!
The low-speed firing method of the big ship is completely based on the trust in the interception efficiency of the laser artillery array, and the price of two ordinary missiles is only three stars, but they are the same as special electromagnetic bombs, and the fusion warhead can also do electromagnetic explosions, but the range of the wave is only a few tens of kilometers. It takes more than 100 seconds for a low-speed barrage to move dozens of kilometers, and no one would take such a risk if they were not sure to ensure that all of them were intercepted within time.
"Missiles are still too unreliable." The mustachioed Yamada sighed.
In the Galactic Age, if missiles were reliable enough, they would not be reduced to support weapons. But in any case, there is no doubt about the special advantage of missiles, that is, any ship that wants to be hit by a missile actually drilling into the outer armor will not be spared, and in that case, any internal protective compartment can only sigh with joy, and the best result is to be blown up in half.
Taking advantage of the small positive section and asteroid cover, the player ship group gradually accelerates closer to the larger ship with a low attrition rate of losing only one patrol ship almost every two attacks.
When the distance between the two sides is reduced to 300,000 kilometers, the battle becomes a little more intense, and at this distance, the attack power of the beam-type main gun of the big ship is also higher, and the speed of light effect that cannot be avoided in the first place makes the player's losses even greater. Although asteroids can be used for some discontinuous cover, large ships can break away from the ecliptic, and there will always be several ships in the entire fleet that will be targeted.
If this continues, the number of ships in this group will be consumed at least twenty before the big war.
In order to cover the real killers, several medium patrol ships with their main guns modified several times have joined the ranks of auxiliary heavy fireships, and there are still many more after the loss of heavy firepower ships has just been reduced. They're the equivalent of expensive decoys to protect those who seem to have a terrible range but are actually more destructive.
Twenty-nine. An attacked ship survived with the help of an asteroid, but the ship targeted by another beam cannon and twin guns was killed.
Twenty-eight. Luck struck again, and both patrol ships targeted by the beam guns made effective passive evasions, with only minor damage to the outer armor, and one heavy fireship targeted by twin main guns was not spared.
Twenty-seven. The large ship apparently noticed that the strength of the player's ship group was different from the normal variety, and the beam cannon was delayed by two seconds after the expected cooldown time, focusing on one medium patrol ship, and losing two more ships.
Twenty-six. Due to the firing delay and the speed of the player's swarm, the beam cannon at this distance did not fire twice, and only one was lost.
Twenty-five. Within 260,000 kilometers, the ballistic velocity delay of the positive electron twin cannon was basically negligible, and the big ship that changed its strategy took two patrol ships again.
The real battle begins!
"The missiles are fully in place, and the whole ship is free to assault!"
In the past few months, in the huge player base of the Sunset Dynasty, even a light patrol ship can have a range of 130,000 kilometers or even higher than its main guns, and 220,000 kilometers is the minimum range required by the Sunset Dynasty for a medium patrol ship hunting in the MR241.
At everyone's current speed, approaching 220,000 kilometers is only a matter of more than 20 seconds, and the big ship will fire at most two rounds during the period to take away four patrol ships, and at that time it will face the blow of more than 20 patrol ships, and the big ship that cannot move at all due to the intensive missile attack must accept a huge amount of damage of more than 15,000 points in that round, even if it is the highest level of shield, it is impossible to have time to recharge.
However, the short twenty seconds seemed to have become the last extravagant hope of the mustachioed Yamada.
When the first patrol ship crossed the 250,000-kilometer node, a gray pillar of light suddenly shot out from the big ship that had not yet reached the cooldown time!
It was a thrilling gray light that left a shadow in the hearts of all the players present at Sunset.
In six seconds, a total of four battleships were hit by sweeping and stopping.
None of them disintegrated, but they lost contact.
It's a neutron cannon!
The neutron cannon, which has a slower trajectory in the particle cannon, is undoubtedly the type that all players can remember after a single experience, especially when dealing with smaller ships, its higher destructive power than the electronic cannon and the living lethality of the rogue are simply terrifying to all small ships.
Before the player could recover from the thrilling six-second pause, after a brief pause of three seconds, a gray pillar of light erupted again from a direction of thirty degrees apart!
"It's over!"
Yamada, the mustachioed man who had already stood up behind the console when he launched the assault, sat down, his eyes becoming a little gray.
When he sat down, he saw from the star map simulation that the third sudden pillar of light hit the friendly ship in another direction, and the big ship finally showed a full posture, and at the same time fired the previous four main guns, as well as the two extra guns with the energy display of level nine!
Seeing this, the mustache couldn't even get his frustration up, he knew that he was wrong, that he wanted to challenge something that had never been recognized by the player.
The united front band is completely silent, no one speaks, everyone is waiting to be harvested.
The tactical group on the mustache ship at the time of the previous blow had already hinted that, according to the images of the fighters, the big ship had five main guns instead of the four previously deduced. It's just that he thought that the commander of the big ship would choose to launch at a shorter distance because of the slower trajectory speed of the neutron cannon, and in his mind, because there was a squad that would be delayed for less than forty seconds to enter the firing range, and they were behind the side of the big ship, so even in the face of five main guns, the goal was only to break the shield and affect the accuracy of its interceptor missiles, and the battle would definitely be successful.
His judgment was correct, but unfortunately, his access to information limited him to the fact that he had no idea that there were weapons in the world that could strike continuously for such a long time and had almost no cooldown.
The attack position arrived, but there were only nine medium ships left in the group, which was comparable to the number of heavy firepower ships that had been used as decoys and wanted to limit the energy level of the larger ships.
"We lost, but comrades-in-arms, at such a cost, we must at least figure out what it is!" The mustache finally realized that he was still the captain and must take responsibility for the failure, at least not for no reason, "Kyoya-kun, your team should evacuate while there is still some distance, we have no chance." ”
Players behave like real warriors at this moment, even if they have to face an uncomfortable "death" experience, they want to get a clear enough picture of the opponent before they are all killed, as long as there is a clear picture of the big ship intercepting and striking with full firepower, someone will analyze a lot of useful information from it.
No one thought that the mysterious boss Ofune would not be willing to give them this opportunity.
Two missile ships, which were slightly behind, were suddenly hit by several small rays of light that were almost undetectable, and they turned out to be ...... Straight through it!
"It's a mech, we were hit by strange mechs, they pierced the ship, and the power of the main engine dropped rapidly!"
"I'm a fighter here, and I was also hit by the main engine!"
