Chapter 357: Face to face
In the midst of tense confrontation, Long Yun did not hesitate for too long.
Even if he wants to go up and bet on the cannon, now he must have the belief that he will win!
Not only that, but for Liu Wei, who is still cruising at high altitude, he can't expect too much at this time: the step-by-step over-the-horizon attack is probably the "Uranus" long plane in front of him, and that guy's strength is also very good. Thinking of this, Long Yun did not hesitate, he pressed the slope to approach the low-altitude opponent, and while using the dynamic aiming aura of the flat display to capture the target, he put his finger on the aircraft artillery firing button.
It's three thousand meters away, and it's a little closer!
With a huge speed difference in close pursuit, the Su-27SK with a bright tail flame is very clear in the field of vision, but the rapid approach also makes it difficult to aim the aircraft, Long Yun only fired when the chase was approaching within two thousand meters, and the virtual aerial artillery fire on the flat display swept to the direction where the opponent was!
Long Yun's attack was very ferocious, and under the strafing of the aerial artillery, although the "Diplodocus" fighters on the left and right sides made quite complicated irregular maneuvers and dodges, they were still narrowly hit on one side of the wing, but the system judged that there was no major problem. If Long Yun approached more slowly, following the "Uranus" long plane and shooting continuously, then the opponent would naturally not be spared; But now he is really a little anxious, the fuel stock of the J-10A cannot be compared with the Su-27SK, and if he doesn't end the battle, he will run out of fuel!
If you don't succeed in a single blow, you just hurt the opponent, and the battle system will predict the damage of the fighter according to the impact point, and generally speaking, the upper limit of the fighter's maneuver will be appropriately reduced; However, the overload limit of the Su-27SK used by "Uranus" is already very low, and the parameter correction of the combat system has no effect on the operation of the side super. Seeing the "Raptor" that was detached from the attack rushing away from his side, he hurriedly changed out of the chaotic evasive maneuver and tried to turn on the afterburner to pursue the opponent in front of him, but after the continuous maneuver, his speed became very low, and soon the "Raptor" piloted by Long Yun disappeared in his field of vision.
Seeing that the opponent in front of him was flying fast, Bian Chao was also full of strength, and he was quite calm at this time thinking that the opponent's J-10A had limited fuel storage, and after a vicious battle, it was impossible to use afterburner as luxuriously as he did, and seeing that the target echo on the radar was still quite clear, he made up his mind to pursue it all the time.
Since he is about to run out of fuel, he is not afraid that he will not be able to catch up!
Facing the direction of the missile attack just now, Bian Chao decisively pushed the throttle valve and opened the afterburner to accelerate the climb, at this time, the other "Raptor" waiting for the opportunity at high altitude was still a secondary threat to him, or since it was impossible to retreat with his whole body, he also had to use all his strength to fight.
With such an idea, Bian Chao's control has also become wide open and closed, fortunately, it is in the advantageous position of the pursuer, and the J-10A, which does not have radar stealth capabilities, is still nowhere to hide under the detection of N001. In this way, he drove the radar all the way to pursuit, and soon reached the edge of the narrow battle airspace; When Long Yun noticed that the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, and decisively entered the sideways to evade, the radar of the Su-27SK really lost the tracking information because the target turned sideways, but the EOS at the front of the cockpit firmly locked the "Raptor" in front.
The target was in front of him, Bian Chao continued to urge the afterburner to pounce forward, he knew that the guy's over-the-horizon missile at the height would come soon, and there was not much time left for him!
Being closely pursued by the opponent behind him, although he had the advantage of fighter mobility, Long Yun was now a little difficult.
Before the game, he would never have thought that in the face of the originally weak "Uranus", today's confrontation would be so fierce, and he knew that the long plane of "Uranus" was so difficult to deal with, so why did he bother to shoot four PL-8Cs at once?
Although he no longer has any missiles, the GSH-30-1 gun on the Su-27SK is a 30 mm caliber, and its ballistic performance and range are much better than the GSH-23-2 light gun built into the J-10A. In the previous group games, Long Yun had not used the aircraft cannon to attack the opponent, and now he really wanted to enter the machine gun battle, and the "Raptor" he drove had no advantage over the "Diplodocus".
No way, in order to reduce weight and aerodynamic drag in pursuit of high-altitude and high-speed performance, the J-10A is equipped with an aviation gun that can of course be saved, and the size and weight of the GSH-23-2 are the smallest in the world's active aviation guns.
The aircraft gun, which is almost not used in formal combat, can often determine the outcome of a game in aviation competition, and the weakness of the aircraft gun is also a small flaw for the "Raptor"; But now it's useless to think so much, glancing at the fuel gauge, Long Yun knows that he must fight quickly, and now instead of dodging, he can only face the difficulties!
With the idea of head-on confrontation, the distance between the fast-flying J-10A and the chasing Su-27SK is getting closer, and after a few feints, the two fighters enter a 30-degree staggered pursuit of each other.
As the "Diplodocus" with full afterburner closely pursued, the distance between the two fighters in the air quickly shortened, which not only made Liu Wei at high altitude feel like a rat thrower, but even the spectators on the ground became unprecedentedly nervous.
From the air battle situation display on the big screen, they can clearly see that the tracks of the "Chenlong" and "Uranus" planes have crossed each other at this time, and since no one has changed the intention, then they are planning to enter the scissor maneuver confrontation that must be defeated!
In modern aviation competition, because of the existence of large off-axis angle combat missiles, the significance of the dangerous and fierce traditional scissor maneuver confrontation is limited, and the players generally choose to slow down and directly launch missiles to attack the opponent; But now that the two fighters have no missile weapons, the confrontation of the aircraft artillery needs an appropriate distance and angle of attack, and the scissor confrontation is the best stage for the players to display their skills, and it seems that they are planning to fight it out.
As the scissor maneuver progressed, the confrontational shape shì in the sky suddenly reached the peak of the most intense intensity!
On both sides of the staggered tracks, Long Yun's "Raptor" is agile but only has a weak cannon, and at the same time, it cannot use afterburner because of the shortage of fuel; The Su-27SK with Bian Chao is relatively less maneuverable, but it has abundant fuel and has an advantage in the attack power of its aircraft. In addition, at this time, the two players are all determined to win, go all out, and the two sides that have staggered again and again, you go back and forth, and the artillery shooting between each other is extremely fierce, it seems that this is no longer a game, but a real desperate fight between life and death!
If it weren't for the guarantee of the navigation safety system, the fighters who constantly challenged each other would almost have to fly close to each other's tracks, and there would even be a risk of collision; Eyes staring at the aiming halo, Long Yun and Bian Chao are looking for opportunities, unlike Bian Chao's Su-27SK, Long Yun is also calculating how many shells the opponent still has, the Su-27 series fighters have only one hundred and fifty rounds of ammunition, if he fights and even runs out of shells, then he can win without a fight!
Victory without a fight?
A pinnacle duel that ends with a win?
- What a joke! Now that the battle has reached this point, even if anyone is shot down, it is a minimum of respect for oneself and the opponent!
Realizing that if this continued, the technology of the "Uranus" long plane was not good enough, and sooner or later he would consume the few shells that were already left, Long Yun did not hesitate to change the side rod, although he didn't know what he was going to do. Seeing that he turned sharply to the other side from his right track, Long Yun also immediately turned in the other direction, and he turned on the afterburner quite extravagantly, and whether it was successful or not was this round!
Changing out of the tense scissor maneuver one after another, before the spectators could breathe a sigh of relief, the two fighters drew a figure-eight track in the sky one after the other, and then approached each other head-on.
What is the situation, almost like a knightly duel?
Oh my God, I didn't expect today's game to be like this, what are they going to do! The fans and media present were all boiling, after experiencing the nervous and suffocating viewing process just now, they all stared at it with wide eyes at this time, and the wonderful journey of this group stage has exceeded everyone's expectations!
With such a style of play, does it mean that they have forgotten to win and only plan to use a dignified head-to-head fight to decide the winner? For the players, of course, the game is about winning, but not for the spectators, no matter who has the last laugh in today's game, the battle process is simply exciting, and it seems that winning or losing can be thrown aside in comparison, and who cares about that!
Closer, closer!
It has entered the range of the 30-mm cannon of the "Diplodocus", but Bian Chao has not yet moved!
Fighters approaching at high speed only need a split second to stagger with each other; Although there is a flight control system to ensure that they will never collide, this indomitable and heroic charge still makes people's blood boil. What kind of contest is this, many spectators have thought of the countless air duels in the era of World War II, and the era of aviation artillery seems to always be so tragic and gorgeous, and now the hedging "Raptor" and "Diplodocus" are making an extremely shocking personal interpretation!
It's closer!
Holding the joystick tightly with both hands, jolting and undulating in the trembling body, the figure of the opponent in the flat display is extremely clear, Bian Chao knows that he only has the last twenty or so rounds of cannon shells, that is, the amount of a standard long point shot, he must be able to hit with one hit!
And in the cockpit of the oncoming "Raptor", Long Yun's hand was also firmly on the top of the joystick, the ballistic performance of the GSH-23-2 aircraft gun was not ideal, and he needed to get closer to have absolute certainty - because he knew very well that although there were still a lot of shells, the fuel stock of the fighter was close to the warning line, and the flight safety control system would not allow him to charge again.
Then come and have fun!
Uranus's tough guys, see who is the master of the sky and who will be better at marksmanship!
