Chapter 274: Battle of Betales - The Power of the Mixed Fleet
The dreadnought flagship gun is hugely powerful, but the rate of fire is slow, and it is not easy to hit non-flagship targets.
Moreover, a qualified conventional pilot has also received tactical evasion of high-power weapons such as dodging the flagship gun, which is generally not said to be able to avoid them all, but there are definitely not too many frontal hits by the flagship gun.
And this dreadnought mixed fleet of the Betales Federation is under the configuration of old money.
In addition to the basic conventional capital ships, there are also special ships with stasis beam specialization as auxiliaries, which greatly limit your own ships.
Under the action of various interception fields and this stagnant beam, the speed of the own battleship dropped to the extreme, and it was unable to maneuver at all, and then it was destroyed by the Divine Revelation-class dreadnought one gun after another.
In the face of this mixed fleet with dreadnoughts as the tactical core, Michael Blake's Exorcist-class fleet was beaten to the point of helplessness, and every time he tried to destroy the interceptor ship and escape, he was finally bombed by the dreadnought's cannons.
In the face of the efficient concentration of fire of the Berteles mixed fleet, this fleet, which served as a fire reconnaissance, suffered heavy casualties.
And when the back road was cut off by the interceptor ship, the commander of this exorcism-level fleet looked at the fleet that was constantly decreasing, and his heart was horizontal.
"All warships rush into enemy formations, evade dreadnought attacks, and attack enemy regular warships!"
Sooner or later, it will be over.
So now they are left with the only way to continue to charge forward.
As long as you can rush into the fleet of the Betales Federation, you can use the dark way to avoid the threat of the dreadnought's main guns, and fight a battle with the opponent's regular warship, so as to minimize the threat of the opponent's dreadnought.
Even if the final result is that you are completely wiped out, it is better than being beaten passively on this side now!
In the face of the sudden charge of this exorcism-level fleet, Lao Qian did not have the slightest surprise on his face, after all, this was what he expected, and even this was his specially designed pocket.
In the face of the charge of this exorcist-class fleet, the interceptors of the Bertales Federation did not take action, but continued to block their back and let them charge forward.
However, many of the Exorcist-class warships had already been named one by one before they could start charging, and then they were wiped out in the main guns of the Divine Revelation-class dreadnoughts.
The original exorcist-class fleet was less than fifty ships left when it stormed the mixed fleet of the Betales Federation.
And these fifty ships had just rushed to the front of the battle, but they suddenly found that although there was a large gap between these dreadnoughts, their fleet still had a large number of battleships and other special warships.
Before they could react, the Hellangel-class battleship of the Betales Federation was the first to fire.
Rainbow-like lasers streak across the starry sky and converge into a rainbow meteor shower.
Beautiful and deadly.
Then a pair of electronic warfare equipment for special ships were all put on their bodies, and the miniature jump thrusters of their exorcism-class warships were forcibly turned off by the jump disturbances, and the ship's speed was also reduced under the action of stagnant beams, and even the locking system was temporarily interfered with under the ECM of several frigates.
Faced with this situation, these exorcism-level drivers did not have any accidents, they were all destroyed one by one, and they did not even have the ability to resist at all.
And a few of them moved around the Exorcism class of the conventional warship because they sensed that something was wrong, and they didn't wait for them to breathe a sigh of relief.
I saw that the two sides of the base of the Apocalypse-class dreadnoughts around here opened, revealing rows of close-in laser cannons.
fo
And in the dull eyes of everyone, these close-range laser cannons were suddenly activated, and they were facing round after round of firepower output.
The rate of fire and power of the dreadnought's close defense guns are not to be said to be enough, and under this ferocious firepower, the few remaining exorcism-class ships have also turned into fireworks in space along with the large force.
The fire reconnaissance fleet of the righteous order is completely destroyed!
The destruction of his own fire reconnaissance fleet did not affect Michael Blake's face in the slightest, because it was expected.
How can you get enough information without giving enough bait?
It was worth exchanging such a main fleet for the fighting method of this mixed fleet of the Betales Federation, as well as the basic data of this dreadnought.
And Michael Blake is also very interested in the formation of this mixed fleet of his teacher.
"As it is you, this mixed fleet will give full play to the performance of dreadnoughts!"
Although this did not test the defensive power of the Divine Revelation-class dreadnoughts, it was also tested that these dreadnoughts were equipped with powerful flagship guns, not strafing guns against conventional warships.
Originally, this kind of dreadnought was only equipped with flagship guns, and Michael Blake was able to seize the opportunity of its cannon intervals, whether it was long-distance combat or close-range combat, to avoid attacks by maneuvering at high speed, and then grinding it to death little by little.
However, under Lao Qian's arrangement, this dreadnought gave up the original attack method of pure dreadnought clusters, and changed to a mixed fleet with dreadnoughts as the core and conventional warships and special warships as auxiliaries.
With the assistance of conventional warships and special warships, the performance of the dreadnought is maximized.
Each of these dreadnoughts is paired with several conventional and special warships to form a combat group.
Then these conventional warships and special warships surround the dreadnought, the conventional capital warship acts as an air defense mission, and the special warship makes the dreadnought's flagship gun easier to hit by limiting the speed of the enemy warship, and the dreadnought's close defense system can protect the team members, which makes each combat group extremely strong.
The most important thing is that even if the opponent suddenly enters the flagship level, the flagship gun on this dreadnought can immediately and effectively kill, and will not lose fire power because of the strafing gun.
The tactics of the entire battle group revolve around the dreadnought, attacking and retreating.
Of course, this tactic is not suitable for all battlefield environments.
Because this dreadnought can no longer move after activating the battle module, it cannot cooperate with the regular fleet to actively pursue, which greatly limits the fleet's power.
Moreover, this dreadnought also relies on the restriction of special warships on the enemy, so as to assist the combat of dreadnoughts, so if the losses of special ships are serious, the dreadnoughts are greatly limited in the face of the enemy's conventional fleet main guns, and can only use close defense systems to attack.
Faced with the threat of the mixed fleet of Betales, Michael Blake wisely did not choose to continue the attack.
Instead, he confronted the mixed fleet of the Betales Federation on one side, and urged the dreadnought fleet behind on the other.
If you want to open up the situation in the mixed fleet of Betales, you can only rely on the dreadnought fleet.
Again, the only one who can fight the flagship is the flagship!
Compared to Michael Blake's attack, Frederick McGee's side carried a dreadnought fleet from the beginning, making the battle very brutal from the beginning.
