Chapter 45: The Fulcrum and the Eagle

As if he had been injected with a stimulant in an instant, Long Yun's spirit was highly excited.

On the team's simulator before, Long Yun and the F-15 controlled by his teammates also fought a few times. Although he won easily every time, he knew that it was mainly due to his teammates' poor skills; Now that the real F-15A is in front of him, he can almost clearly see the logo of the American Air Wing painted on the tail of the enemy plane.

Let's see how good you really are.

Of course, tension is tension, life and death are only in the first line, and Long Yun did not lose his mind because of his eagerness to fight.

With no time to beckon his wingman to watch for the threat of the F-15, Long Yun lowered his throttle and hovered at a tight angle while rolling around to see a possible sneak attack.

As the main air superiority fighter aircraft put into production by the United States around 1980, the F-15 has the characteristics of powerful firepower and flexible maneuverability, although the airframe design is not as outstanding as the Su-27, but it relies on powerful engines and advanced electronic equipment to dominate the sky, and is quite a formidable and difficult opponent. Unlike the slightly weaker F-16, Long Yun knew that the F-15 with two F-100 series engines was quite powerful, and his fuel was limited, so he gave up the idea of using the speed advantage to conduct energy air combat at the beginning, and instead used delicate technology and opponents to maneuver in the low-speed range.

In the previous simulated air battle, although he did not taste defeat, he also gained a lot of experience and lessons, Long Yun's goal now is to lure the enemy aircraft into the medium and low-speed maneuvering confrontation that the MiG-29 is good at, as long as the opponent enters this trap, he is not a sage, he will make mistakes sooner or later.

No matter who chooses Long Yun as the opponent in the air battle, then he will never have one chance to make a mistake.

Wrong, i.e. dead.

Gliding like clouds and flowing in the sky where fighter planes flew around, Long Yun's movements were frequent and intense, but in his mind he was as calm as the surface of a windless lake. The cluttered instrument display, and the background of the sky covered with smoke outside the cockpit, could not cause any disturbance to him at this time.

The state of the fighter is always clear; The location of the enemy aircraft was also clearly calculated. Although the opponent's two-plane cover was quite good, he still found the opponent's flaws after a few rounds of maneuvering.

Under Long Yun's gaze, the F-15 twin planes were pulling away, the long plane chased by Long Yun accelerated to feint, and the wingman entered a vertical somersault ready to capture him. If he recklessly enters into a close chase for the long plane, then he falls right into the middle of it.

Seeing through the opponent's tricks, Long Yun glanced around a few times, and the F-16 that was fighting with his wingman did not have a good place to attack. If you want to put the F-15 wingman in front, it is estimated that a simple defensive barrel roll may not be useful; Long Yun decisively made a left turn, drove the full afterburner to climb, and then suddenly reduced the engine thrust, and at the same time entered the extremely violent side rotation with an overload.

An almost inverted "U" shaped track was drawn in the sky, like a textbook, and Long Yun's speed suddenly decreased, making an almost perfect sharp turn with a large overload.

This kind of maneuver, which is close to a stall maneuver, is too overloaded at the top of the inverted U-shape and rolls violently, and many pilots will be dizzy and completely disoriented after doing it, not to mention its combat value; But Long Yun did it beautifully, and even captured the F-15 wingman that was supposed to be behind him into the launch cone of the R-73.

Grab the bull by the horns!

There was no need to count on any fire control, Long Yun visually deduced that the distance between the enemy and us at this time was less than two thousand meters, and even if it was a tail chase attack, the chance that the F-15 would be able to escape was very small. With the press of his thumb, a large cloud of smoke rose from under the wingtip of the left wing, and the R-73, which had broken away from the carrier like a sharp sword, writhed away in the air, and then burst into bright fire in Long Yun's sight.

The fragments were scattered, and Long Yun didn't know if he had destroyed his opponent, but it didn't matter anymore.

Looking at the light spots that appear on the radar, they are almost indistinguishable against the background of the interference environment; But when Long Yun looked up, he could find that the F-15 long plane had completed the big loop after climbing, and was accelerating and diving.

Want to launch a head-to-head attack?

What do you mean, did you fly the MiG-23 when I did?

Seeing the F-15 approaching him at high speed and forming a head-to-head challenge posture with him, Long Yun thought that he was going to collide with him and die together; However, with his superior eyesight, he soon noticed that a cloud of smoke was coming from under his opponent's wings, and he actually launched a "rattlesnake", could it be that he intended to attack him like this?

The head-on confrontation was only in an instant, and Long Yun didn't plan to use the R-73 to shoot back, he didn't forget that he only had one missile left, and he couldn't shoot lightly when he wasn't completely sure. In order to avoid the opponent's possible cannon or ramming attack, he decisively entered the barrel to shake the opponent's aim, and at the same time seized the fleeting opportunity and pressed the cannon button.

The rate of fire of the GSH-30 aircraft gun is indeed extremely high.

With a slight click, at least thirty cannons were ejected from the chamber in an instant, and between the large clouds of gunpowder smoke from the shelling, Long Yun saw his results: the incoming AIM-9 was swept by a dense number of shells at close range, and then exploded and scattered in the air.

He exploded the incoming missile!

Of course, whether the AIM-9 was destroyed by a direct hit, or whether the fuse was detonated by a passing shell, Long Yun had no time to study. Although this kind of bizarre thing has happened several times in the game, Long Yun also knows that he can only try his luck, even if his skills are good, there is no guarantee that he will hit.

But it's really exciting!

The pilots and enemy planes were staggered at close range, and there was no time to recall the rare scene just now, so Long Yun immediately climbed with full strength. He expects his opponent to climb and somersault as well, performing a standard "Inmaiman" maneuver, and whoever has the height will have the upper hand unless he gets into a scissor maneuver after a head-to-head cross.

If the opponent still has his senses, he will choose to go into the climb.

But which way will he level it when he pulls it up?

Long Yun looked back in the cockpit that was a little spinning, and after seeing the opponent's movements, he also leveled in the same direction. For a while, there was a peach-shaped smoke trail in the sky drawn by the pursuer and the pursued, but at this time, Long Yun's position had reached the back and bottom of the enemy plane.

Finding that his speed was inferior to that of his opponent, Long Yun maintained the afterburner and adjusted his stance; However, just as he was about to attack, the enemy plane apparently discovered the threat, and suddenly rolled down to accelerate, and quickly broke away from Long Yun's tail pursuit.

What a tough opponent!
