Chapter 349: Ten Sticks Against Two Seven!
Thinking of being shot down several times in the previous game, Liu Wei felt that this matter was not easy to handle:
"Brother Long, what kind of model will we use in the next game?"
"Well...... Let me think about it again. ”
Pacing and thinking in the cool hangar, and turning around the fighter planes parked in the center of the field, Long Yun looked at the brand-new J-10A painted in silver gray in front of him, and then tilted his head to look at the PL-8C and PL-12 missiles purchased and displayed on the bomb trailer.
It's a really hard choice!
Previously, since getting Shangguan Ling's approval and basically determining that the team's purchased model is a relatively cheap and affordable J-10A, Long Yun and Liu Wei have been familiar with the technical and tactical characteristics of this type of fighter on the simulator.
However, in a limited number of simulated confrontations, Long Yun can also fully see that unlike his experienced and skilled self, Liu Wei is quite familiar with this new fighter that is completely different from J-7IIM in terms of flight parameters and combat characteristics; If he really uses the J-10 to fight, then he may just keep flying safely and playing soy sauce at the same time, and it is probably completely unrealistic to use the excellent maneuverability of the J-10A to fight with the opponent.
So in other words, if you use the "Raptors" to attack, you will be in a situation where you are one against two again?
Of course, he has not fought one-on-two battles before, except for dealing with "Thunder", he has also won the other two games. However, in the case of continuous use of the seventh master, the combat mode and characteristics have been figured out by the opponent, if he is still independently supported in the next game, then the hope of continuing to use the J-7IIM against the enemy can be said to be very slim.
Let's just say that their last opponent in the group stage "Uranus", although it is currently a winless game and there is no hope of qualifying, but in this case, the player will not have any baggage, but will do his best because of honor, and the opponent at this time is the most dangerous. If there is a mistake and cannot be won by a big score, then unless "Thunder" drops the chain in the final round, the qualification of "Chenlong" is very dangerous.
Hey! Speaking of "Thunder", Long Yun thought of that strange person Qi Hui, how could he drop the chain with his strong combat power!
So this last game must be won, and we must strive to win it by a big score! No matter what model you use, try to get all three points!
With this awareness, Long Yun and Liu Wei returned to the team office and studied the registration model of the opponent "Uranus" again; After confirming that the fighter used before the "Uranus" had always been a Su-27SK that had been retired from the Air Force, Long Yun was a little relieved.
Su-27SK, as well as J-11B, and perhaps the Su-35BM later launched by Soviet Russia, these several models look almost identical on the outside, and even military enthusiasts may not be completely distinguishable, but in fact there is a considerable difference in combat performance.
As the eldest son of the Su-27 huge family, the Su-27SK is a heavy fighter imported by China from Russia in the nineties of the last century, and its configuration is almost no different from the Su-27S (single-seat standard type of the Air Force) of Soviet origin, and Long Yun is already very familiar with it: equipped with AL-31F engine, N001 radar and supporting fire control system, equipped with R-27R/R-27T medium-range radar-guided missiles and R-73 combat missiles.
In the early days of its introduction, the configuration and combat capabilities of the Su-27SK can be said to be very powerful, but compared with the J-11B that appeared a few years later, the gap is not half a point.
J-11B, the second phase of the "key model localization project" of Shenyang Aviation Industry Corporation, was put into mass production after years of research and development and many minor problems, and it can be regarded as a major revision of the Su-27 with an increase in the amount of composite materials and the replacement of the domestic WS-10C engine, JL-10B pulse-Doppler radar and supporting weapon systems; Although the appearance looks almost indistinguishable from the original Su-27, the actual combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.
Whether in terms of engine thrust or radar detection capabilities, the performance of the J-11B is better than that of the Su-27SK; And most importantly, the J-11B's fire control system cooperates with the radar, and it has the ability to use domestic PL-12, Soviet Russian R-77 and other active radar-guided missiles, which the Su-27SK does not have.
On the whole, the combat capabilities of the J-11B fighter and the J-10A can be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages, both of which are superior to the Su-27SK, which has excellent airframe design but is dragged down by electronic equipment and weapon systems; In the next game, if you want to use the "Raptors" to fight against the "Diplodocus", at least in terms of technical level, Long Yun has a certain advantage.
Of course, having said that, the J-10A has a huge advantage over active radar-guided missiles that the Su-27SK cannot use; However, whether you can give full play to this advantage in actual combat and strive for victory in the game depends on the player's own ability and on-the-spot performance.
As the main combat aircraft that China has equipped a large number of people at the turn of the century, pilots from different aviation divisions also won and lost each other in the J-10A vs. Su-27SK exercises that the Chinese military often conducted several years ago, which also shows that the victory or defeat of fighter aircraft confrontation in modern air combat does not depend on the performance of the fighter itself, at least for these two fighters who once worked together to defend the blue sky of the motherland.
"Stick Ten" vs. "Two Seven", the competition between recruits and old guns, who will die?
Not only is Long Yun eagerly looking forward to it, but this is probably also the answer that all aviation enthusiasts who pay attention to "Chenlong" are looking forward to.
Thinking like this, Long Yun had some calculations in his heart; After calling Liu Wei to discuss for a while, the two of them came to the training room and began to practice the combat strategy he had improvised on the flight simulator:
“…… Well, that's it. In other words, what do you think of avoiding combat encounters and using over-the-horizon missiles as the only means of attack? ”
Knowing that Liu Wei's previous driving training was focused on combat practice, and he lacked experience in the use of over-the-horizon missiles, especially active radar-guided missiles, Long Yun asked him worriedly. Seeing Long Yun's expectant eyes, although Liu Wei felt that he had no bottom in his heart, he thought that he still had some time to step up practice before the game, so he nodded:
"I think I can, of course, I still have to practice in the past two days."
"Yes. First, familiarize yourself with the tactical characteristics of the J-10A and PL-12, and then interpret the calculation process of the fire control system against the attack envelope of the missile. In short, keep trying! ”
Patting Liu Wei on the shoulder, Long Yun told him to practice more, and then ran to the hangar and beckoned the pilots to continue preparing for the J-10A sortie, so that they could take off for training in the afternoon. As a top fighter at piloting fighters, Long Yun knows that changing aircraft types is by no means a simple matter for players, and now he does not have high expectations for Liu Wei; Then he himself must be more familiar with the temperament of the "Raptor", and when the time comes, he will still rely on his play to defeat "Uranus".
What he has done with the Seventh Master, now he is controlling the more powerful "Raptor", he must also do it!
