Act54 cruisers and battleships
No matter how much more special features are carried, the Pegasus has a flaw: it is only a light cruiser.
Its streamlined structure of less than 200 meters is undoubtedly unable to reload more materials and be responsible for the soul of the fleet and the supply of a fleet. In terms of recoil, inertia, keel tension, and structural strength, it cannot list more and stronger firepower as the core of the fleet's firepower......
So when someone's hand was maliciously thrown over by Nanase-chan a fleet of thirty Pegasos-class light cruisers, someone was helpless because of the fleet's flagship problem.
In all respects, the Pegasus is not enough to be the soul and core of a main fleet, or the main fleet personally controlled by Xiao Moumou.
Even if that one, the formation of the main fleet, is exactly the Pegasus-class, light cruisers, the same!
On the contrary, it is precisely because of the composition of this fleet, which is completely light cruisers, that its flagship is more and more impossible to be a ship of the same type, a light cruiser!
The flagship of the fleet, it is not decided casually.
If the flagship and the fleet ships are identical in all respects and cannot complement each other, then will not the ships be able to distinguish the priority of their tasks in battle? Each of them is under the battle, and they will die completely when they encounter each other's ships? In that case, what else is the fleet going to do!
In this world, there is no perfect warship, and every warship will always have its own advantages and disadvantages. So ships are formed into a fleet, and the same point will determine the strengths and weaknesses of the fleet: and as the heart and soul of a fleet, it must have the ability to make up for the shortcomings of the fleet!
It may be said that not to develop one's strengths, but to exaggerate one's weaknesses, is the beginning of becoming a waste of wood.
Such warnings are indeed golden and good words. But there is another saying that it is always the shortest board that determines how much water a bucket can hold......
As a flagship, its advantages and disadvantages are not to break those shortcomings.
The formation of a fleet, offensive and defensive capabilities, cruising speed, endurance, pressure resistance, and so on, always have advantages and disadvantages: at the very least, those disadvantages cannot be turned into shortcomings, and become the starting point for any enemy to attack; Then, as much as possible, to develop the advantages of the fleet; That kind of storage zài is the flagship......
Look at Xiao Moumou's fleet and analyze its advantages and disadvantages: ah, they are all light cruisers......
Hehe, the difference between one word, these thirty, why can't they all be cruisers?
If they were all cruisers, Xiao Hong would no longer have to worry about who belonged to the flagship.
Cruisers and battleships are the two absolute main types of ships. The characteristics of both, in a word, are nothing more than this description: a battleship, equipped with the conventional firepower equivalent to a fleet under normal conditions, with the thickest armor; Cruisers, equipped with deterrent strategic armament, have the most powerful endurance......
Battleships are loyal fans of giant ship cannons. The most capable of shooting them are definitely sharp knives on the battlefield, needless to say......
The cruiser, on the other hand, has diversified in the modern navy, and in the future, it has evolved into advanced such as mobile warships, mobile fortresses, and motherships. And in that era of electrification in the 21st century, the most pinnacle of cruisers is nothing more than a nuclear warhead, or a hornet. After all, in those days, there were only these two things, which could be regarded as strategic armament: NATO countries preferred aircraft carriers full of Hornets, and the Warsaw Pact forces preferred overseas launch platforms for intercontinental missiles with nuclear warheads that were not easy to be monitored and captured by hostile forces......
So, apart from battleships and cruisers, what is a light cruiser?
This question is easy to answer.
In the modern navy, light cruisers are often organized together with destroyers, destroyers, and attack submarines, and exist as an important member of the frigate formation......
That's right, destroyers, light cruisers, destroyers, attack submarines.
For example, the three aircraft carrier formations most commonly used by the United States of America in wartime are: three aircraft carriers, with about three light cruisers, about six destroyers, six anti-submarine and anti-aircraft destroyers, six attack submarines, and three to four logistics support ships as resources, the entire frigate formation totals about 36 ships......
Specifically, ships that use conventional firepower such as missiles, torpedoes, and naval guns are called destroyers. The design style of destroyers is often to ignore other arbitrary parameters in order to save costs, and only to "have the ability to effectively damage the hostile capital ship" as the standard condition: in fleet warfare, the destroyer's mission is undoubtedly to target the enemy ship.
And a cruiser that gets rid of its bloated stature after streamlining its endurance and carrying strategic armament is a light cruiser: in the 21st century, the so-called strategic armament is usually missiles. The role of the light cruiser in the battlefield is still to serve as a partial division, to assist the regular army to achieve victory in battle, and the target of attack is mostly enemy fortifications......
As for destroyers and attack submarines, they acted like destroyers and light cruisers, respectively. Its appearance is only the diversification of warfare, which brings about equipment upgrades: destroyers are also new types of ships aimed at enemy aircraft and enemy ships, which are divided into two fields: air defense and anti-submarine; And the attack submarines are still aimed at the fortifications, and the offensive in cooperation with the aircraft carrier carrier-based aircraft has led to the appearance of destroyers......
Seeing this, you may want to say: the proportion of light cruisers is obviously not as important as destroyers, is light cruisers not as important as destroyers?
Apparently not! Because it seems to have been said before that an aircraft carrier is actually a variant of a cruiser.
Cruisers, undoubtedly relatives of light cruisers.
The aircraft carrier formation has also become a way of forming a fleet with a weight biased towards cruisers and with cruisers as the flagship.
…… In particular, since the United States also carried nuclear warheads on nuclear submarines, this shift in weight has become more and more obvious......
…… Aircraft carriers, light cruisers, and attack submarines carry out diversified overlapping attacks outside the battlefield from the air, sea, and seabed, directly destroying the opponent's base camp; Destroyers and destroyers, on the other hand, weave a perfect circle of protection on the side: this is a rather classical and reliable, step-by-step tactic......
In this regard, conventional firepower and strategic armament are aimed at and focused in different directions, and there is a pedigree of battleships and cruisers, which have become the direction of the development of the navy. …… These are roughly the two genealogies of the development of warships: even in the cosmic century, they are still universal!
When thirty Pegasus-class light cruisers were placed in front of Xiao Moumou, the Pegasus was not suitable to be stored as a flagship......
Naturally, it is necessary to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of this fleet.
Undoubtedly, the dual power of GN particles and medium two particles, whether it is a battleship or a shipborne MS, maneuverability can be called excellent; With Xiao Moumou here, there is the Tianshu World, and the fleet can not consider the cruising ability! The above is the superiority of the fleet of thirty Pegasus-class light cruisers after looking at the past......
As for the disadvantage of the fleet, it is, undoubtedly, firepower.
After all, it is a light cruiser, which is mainly equipped with deterrent strategic weapons. This deterrent comes from the MS, MA, and the ancient nuclear warhead combined with the cloud splitting bomb carried on board the Pegasus...... As for the firepower of the battleship itself, I'm sorry, ten Pegasos-class light cruisers are not as good as one Nanase Queen-class battleship, not to mention that the battleship's MS carrying capacity is even greater than that of the Pegasus-class!
Moreover, the defense capability of this fleet is too weak.
Considering the maneuverability of the light cruisers, the Pegasus class did not place too heavy armor, but only relied on GN-Filed and PS phase transfer armor to be immune to beam weapons that could not be dodged; Then use the excellent interception system to intercept live attacks......
Such a warship, such a fleet, carrying out surprise and surprise attacks, there is nothing to say about the record of the battle......
However, if you want them to attack and hold on...... Sorry! These thirty warships or something, if they are thrown to Xiao someone to deal with, they will definitely be one punch and one without any accidents......
…… The shipborne MS may be better, but it is only the role of a fly mosquito, and it is not easy to hit: although the fly mosquito is too large......
Attention: a certain Nanase sauce's proprietary ship, the Queen-class battleship, is only three to four times the size of the Pegasus-class; The thickness of the armor and the strength of the keel are of the Pegasus level, more than ten times! Although in the face of someone's iron fist now, it is inevitable that it will be directly penetrated, but there will be no chaos of the collapse of the entire hull, and if it does not hit the vital point, it will not have much impact on the performance of the battleship: in contrast, the Pegassos-class light cruisers, under the same attack, will collapse under sudden internal stress, torque and wind pressure......
