Chapter Ninety-Seven: Virtual Platform Tank Battles
After entering the platform, Jiang Ping took a look at the identity attribute of his Id, a space tank soldier, with the rank of corporal, belonging to the Antarctic Continental Fleet. This Antarctic Continental Fleet is the fleet in the platform of the cadets of the Federal Interstellar Military University where he is located.
He now has a platform score of 0 and cannot enter the public battlefield, only after the points reach 100 and the rank is promoted to sergeant, he can enter the public battlefield and participate in the battle between platform characters as the commander of the space tank.
Now he can only play against the light brain of the virtual platform.
With a flick of his finger, he chose to start a battle on the screen, and then in the starry sky on the opposite side, a bright light flashed, and a hostile space tank appeared on the opposite position.
In the space tank where Jiang Ping is located, there are several virtual space tank soldiers out of thin air, who are the commander and driver of the space tank, as well as a communicator, and two gunners, and now Jiang Ping's identity in the tank is a radar officer.
This is the most basic staffing of a space tank. After the user determines the identity and role in the space tank, the virtual light brain will match the other personnel in the tank. Because Jiang Ping is now a novice user, the virtual light brain is only equipped with a few basic characters, and does not have all the twenty people in a space tank.
When Jiang Ping was still stunned, the commander of the tank had already issued an order to him: "Radar officer, please immediately turn on the radar surveillance, keep the target lock of the enemy tank in front, and provide me with the azimuth coordinates, driving speed, and estimated trajectory of the target at any time!" ”
Jiang Ping's current identity is a radar soldier, after hearing this order, he immediately turned on the radar monitor, a few seconds later, the entire starry sky within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, is covered with radar monitoring bands, the figure of the enemy space tank appeared on the radar monitoring screen, Jiang Ping has successfully locked the target.
Just as he successfully locked onto the enemy target, the radar monitor emitted a trickling alarm, indicating that his own space tank had also been locked by the opponent's radar.
Jiang Ping accurately provided the operational data of the enemy's space tanks. The distance between the two sides is getting closer, but now the distance between the two sides is still outside the distance of the main guns of the space tank, and now it is a battle of detection and anti-detection.
Suddenly, the figure of the opponent's tank disappeared from the radar surveillance screen of the enemy. Jiang Ping is not surprised, this is the situation that occurs when the opponent's tank enters the stealth state after detecting his own radar surveillance band data, turning on the anti-radar system.
Jiang Ping promptly switched the particles and bands of another set of radar surveillance, and after a short time, the figure of the opponent's tank appeared on the radar monitoring screen again.
Jiang Ping quickly reported the operation data of the opponent's tank at the moment, and heard the commander immediately give the order for the main gun to start charging, and at the same time, the gunner accurately locked the target, and the distance between the two sides was very close at this time, and it was already within the range of the main gun.
At the end of the sixty-second charging process, the barrel of the Space Tank's particle railgun burst out with a ball of fire, and a cannonball accelerated by electromagnetic energy rushed out of the barrel and whistled towards the opposite target.
The artillery shell is equipped with a guidance system, and the target has been locked by the own radar, and according to the instructions of the own radar, as long as the opponent has no time to make evasive actions and unlocks it, it is inevitable that the shell will hit the target.
And the shell that has been accelerated by the energy trajectory has a speed close to the sub-light speed, and it only takes tens of seconds for the shell to hit the target, and in such a short period of time, it is too late for the opponent to make an anti-radar submarine action like the one just now.
"Boom-"
A flash of fire flashed on the radar monitoring screen, indicating that the enemy tank had been hit by its own artillery fire. …,
But it didn't take long for the space tank to burst into flames, and the tank trembled, showing that its tank had also been hit by the opponent's artillery fire.
Jiang Ping is just the radarman of this space tank, and he is obviously powerless to do anything about his own space tank being hit, and now he can only do his job well and assist the commander in this first maiden battle.
After several rounds of main artillery bombardment between the two sides, the distance between the two sides was further reduced, and at this time, more than a dozen secondary guns on both sides also began to play a role and opened fire together.
At this time, the radar battle between the two sides for detection and anti-detection is still in a fierce contest, as long as they can enter the anti-radar stealth state, they can buy some respite for their own space tanks.
The task of the radar crews of the two sides is to provide various operational data of enemy targets at any time and to break the anti-radar stealth state of enemy targets in a timely manner.
The battle between the two space tanks lasted for more than ten minutes before it ended. After the enemy tank was hit by dozens of shells, the tank's energy shield was finally shattered, and the main control room was hit and exploded, turning into a pile of scrap metal floating in space.
At this time, Jiang Ping's space tank had also been scarred, and the energy of the energy shield had been reduced below the orange warning line, which was almost a matter of being able to take a few more shells at most.
The tank data set by the virtual mastermind for the novice user's space tank is slightly better, as long as the user does not make major mistakes and omissions in the operation, this kind of one-on-one bombardment is not very difficult to win.
And in this maiden battle, Jiang Ping's performance was decent, there were no mistakes or omissions, and he perfectly completed the combat mission of a radar officer, and it was reasonable to win this disastrous victory.
But in fact, in an interstellar war, it is almost impossible for two tanks to fight head-to-head like this. No matter how small-scale a battle in the stars is, at least it is a contest between tank groups and tank groups.
And if you are unlucky enough on the battlefield, your tank is selected as an attack target by multiple enemy tanks at the same time, then it is very likely that it will be killed in seconds in the first round of artillery fire, and it is impossible to support it for more than ten minutes as it is now, which is why what space tanks are called battlefield cannon fodder.
After the battle, Jiang Ping found that his user points had increased by one point.
And to enter the public battlefield and play against other users, you need at least 100 points. Thinking that Instructor Amanda had only given him five days, Jiang Ping found that there was really a bit of urgency in completing this task.
Next, Jiang Ping fought ten more battles with the virtual mastermind, and his identity also rose from a radar man, a gunner, to a communicator, and his points also rose to twelve points.
The communicator, acting as the commander's deputy, is equivalent to the deputy commander of the entire space tank, assisting the commander in issuing orders and coordinating the work of the various tank members. In a real group battle, the role of the communicator is even more important and irreplaceable, because he is the link between the tank and other tanks.
In a real tank group battle, it is important to coordinate operations, and the correspondent plays the role of a coordinator in it, which is equivalent to a country's diplomat.
In group operations, it is very important to concentrate firepower and give priority to annihilating a part of the enemy's targets. And this concentrated firepower is also very particular, the firepower is large, it is wasted, the firepower is insufficient, giving the enemy time to prolong the second attack, it is not cost-effective, the best thing is to concentrate the firepower just right to kill the opponent's target in seconds!
In such coordinated operations, the correspondent has an important say in the selection of targets for his tanks. From the information fed back, he had to know how much artillery fire the enemy target had been locked on, whether his side wanted to join in, or whether he had selected another target, all of which had to be analyzed and judged by him before he could provide accurate information to the commander's most reluctant orders. …,
In the eleven battles in the morning, the first ten were all one-on-one battles, and Jiang Ping won all of them, but they only scored one point.
The next battle was between two groups of five space tanks. Later, Jiang Ping's side won the victory, and all five of the enemy's space tanks were destroyed, and only his space tank and another space tank survived.
Of course, this is the result of the virtual mastermind not making his space tank a priority target. If the virtual mastermind does this, then Jiang Ping's space tank will inevitably be destroyed, although his side may still be able to win the most victorious.
This is the embodiment of the insignificance of individual strength in group battles, which is also another expression of the meaning of cannon fodder.
Of course, Jiang Ping is not yet the commander of the tank and tank, and he has not obtained the right to command, and even if he has the ability now, he will not be able to give full play.
In the last five-tank victory, Jiang Ping scored two points. After this battle, it was time for the morning training session.
Jiang Ping got out of the tank and left the training base. When she was going out, she happened to run into Amanda, Amanda casually asked about his points, and she was about to take the opportunity to ridicule Jiang Ping after answering. But when she heard Jiang Ping report the twelve-point score, she had to swallow the words she was about to taunt.
As an instructor, she knows very well that a novice user can earn twelve points in one morning, which can be said to be decent, very good, which requires almost no major mistakes to do.
In the end, Amanda could only reiterate that after five days, the points must reach 100 points, and then she left in a huff.
100 points in five days? Looking at the back of the other party's departure, Jiang Ping's face showed a little strange meaning, and he secretly said in his heart, if he only got 100 points in three days, I don't know if it would be a slap in the face to this instructor who has always been unable to get along with him? When she heard such a result, she didn't know what kind of expression it would be, and it must be very interesting to think about it.
