Chapter 233 Eagle King VS Rookie

Chapter 233 - Eagle King VS Rookie

Beep!

The radar screen flashed for a moment and then disappeared, suspected to be interference or birds.

This situation often occurs in the simulator battle environment, and the pilot needs to judge based on his own experience.

The radio is silent, there are no teammates, no support, no ground assistance, no early warning aircraft, it is purely a one-on-one duel.

"F-22?"

Chen Fei's mumbling will not be heard by the old David in another flight simulator.

There are mistakes, but they are not let go, and the old man is assumed to be mysterious.

The former Federation's special pilot "Eagle King", even though he is old, he dare not underestimate the other party.

The two sides are close to a state of blind fighting, but with the accurate locking of radar waves and visual distance, this situation of searching each other in the combat airspace may be broken at any time.

He was not familiar with this situation, because when he was at the 911 Air Force Base, ground assistance and air support were always available, and his colleagues in the "Zhenxiang" combat flight squadron would report the battlefield situation at any time, so that it would not be as quiet as it is now.

At an altitude of 35,000 feet, the F-22 Raptor jet fighter is a stealth fighter. The theoretical design minimum radar reflection surface is about 0.005 to 0.01 square meters. The actual situation is at least ten times larger. Even so, the reflection of 0.1 square meters is not much larger than that of medium and large birds such as geese, swans, and eagles, and it is easy to be judged as interference.

However, the little thing Xiaochu is simply a natural stealth expert. No fairy radar can detect it at present, even if the filtering mechanism is turned off, because birds are everywhere. Once the radar is illuminated, this job cannot be done.

The APG-77V2 radar used by the F-22, which combines the spear and shield, has also added a side-view system. With the passive working mode of ALQ-94, it can maintain a warning of 400 kilometers.

The "Raptor" derby is a test of which spear and shield are stronger in this model, and more depends on the tactical experience of the two pilots.

The ceiling of the F-22 Raptor jet fighter is 65,000 feet, which is about 20,000 meters above the ground. It is difficult for civilian aircraft to reach this altitude. Chen Fei has been pulling the joystick to maintain a state of continuous climbing.

In the absence of enemy contact, it is not easy to be attacked by enemy aircraft, and it is more conducive to the airborne radar to find the target. If there is any situation, it can react at any time and turn the altitude into maneuver. A series of tactical routines can be carried out like flowing water.

In popular terms, Chen Fei is accumulating strength at this moment, accumulating enough strength, and secretly "slapping the old man to death".

So what if he is experienced in the world, one force breaks ten skills, and the altitude is accumulated enough, and the maneuvering big move is released at will. This is the trick of Chekov's big bear. Everyone in the "Zhenxiang" squadron knows that this guy always likes to climb high, and he will climb to a certain height if he disagrees.

Chen Fei also took advantage of the flight simulator. No matter how simulated the simulator is, it is impossible to simulate a real low-pressure and hypoxic environment.

At the actual altitude, such an environment is a great burden for both humans and fighters. It is not possible to climb to this theoretical limit every time, but in the flight simulator, just pull the joystick back and it's done.

The flight simulator still has several shortcomings. The feedback on the actual complex airflow is not accurate, and sometimes it is even wrong.

After actually driving the F-22, Chen Fei felt the obvious difference.

However, at an altitude of 10,000 meters where the air is thin, this difference based on a certain algorithm is much less. Except that the altimeter value is still increasing, the entire cockpit is in a relatively quiet state with a slight tremor, as if even the roar of the two engines is much smaller.

In addition, the simulation of the details of the distant view is very rigid, and even lacks some reflections.

In actual combat, the reflection of the enemy aircraft's canopy is an important reference. It is far from enough to rely on the contrail cloud to judge. Some people with particularly good eyesight can keenly perceive abnormal reflections beyond the visual distance of ordinary people, but the eyesight of pilots is often abnormal, and the flight simulator obviously has many shortcomings.

Beep!

The passive radar suddenly issued an early warning.

Chen Fei's F-22 was illuminated briefly.

The choice is whether to chase the source of the emission, or to make a detour and try a sneak attack.

In addition to the bayonet fight within the visual range, the tactics of jet aircraft are often sneak attacks and counter-sneak attacks.

The turboprop aircraft that Chen Fei is most familiar with is just the opposite. The tactics of turboprop aircraft are similar to those of heavy infantry, which is hard to resist and hard to fight. Formation tactics are prioritized, and mutual cooperation is particularly important.

The first and second generation jets need to play their speed advantage, just like heavy cavalry, high altitude and high speed, deep penetration; the third generation aircraft is more like light cavalry, tending to tactical maneuvers, sudden low-altitude penetration, taking the opportunity to hit hard, and running away after releasing the big move, never fighting; the fourth and fifth generations are becoming more and more wretched, quietly going around behind to hit the club, making the club also become an art.

But the sixth-generation aircraft is used for the survival of early warning aircraft. They have no freedom from then on. They are definitely mistresses, concubines, or even dowry maids. They are of low status and have to play a good supporting role. They throw all the chivalry and assassin's faith aside and suddenly appear in the combat position, throw all the attack weapons like unloading cargo, and then turn around and run. What era is it now? Who the hell still faces the opponent? Basically, they will die when they see the light.

Except for the crystal energy jets that are the artifact of the country, the jets in service today are basically missile carriers. The loaded cannons have no chance to replace the barrels from the time they leave the production line to the time they are retired. What the hell is a dogfight? The dog is playing!

Following traditional tactics, Chen Fei, who was piloting a simulated F-22 "Raptor" jet fighter, also had to carry out the sap tactics between the fourth-generation and fifth-generation aircraft to see who was more wretched.

When adults do multiple-choice questions, they either choose them all or choose none.

Chen Fei thought for a while and continued climbing until he reached the predetermined altitude of 65,000 feet before making a decision.

Once he reaches the altitude limit, it will be difficult for the old man to sneak attack him. At least the upper half of the airspace is safe. Bottom-up attacks and top-down attacks are completely different things in air combat.

Beep!

The passive radar suddenly issued an early warning, and the signal source changed direction.

Sure enough, Old David was waiting for Chen Fei to make a sneak attack, so he took the opportunity to set a trap to counter the sneak attack.

"Haha, old David, this trick is useless to me."

Chen Fei opened the public communication channel and began to openly mock.

At this stage, it's time for trash talk, which is purely Ye Luzi's operation.

Serious pilots talk directly with their cannons. Where is the use of talking cannons? What can they do with talking cannons? To lift someone else's F-35 from the aircraft carrier deck into the sea?

"..."

There was no response at all on the public communication channel, and only the occasional coughing sound of old David could be heard.

The old guy must have heard it, he was so calm.

Beep!

The opponent's active radar search frequency is getting higher and higher.

The signal source confirmed by Chen Fei's ALQ-94 early warning system is getting closer and closer, and the position is constantly changing, sometimes left and now right, with no rules. The maximum distance exceeds 60 kilometers, but it can still be roughly judged in one direction. .

But he still couldn't figure out what old David was planning.

"Beep...beep...beep...beep..."

The alarm system suddenly made an unusual sound, and a light point was approaching quickly.

missile!

Old David finally took action.

Chen Fei's eyes widened and he stared at the A-shaped instrument area in front of him. He didn't need to look "outside" the cockpit at all, because the missile was still beyond the extremely clear visual range of 20-30 kilometers at high altitude. He couldn't see it at all. not see.

The only thing that can be done is to continue to climb higher. The missile's propellant is limited. Comparing the climbing distance with the "Raptor" is much more difficult than pursuing it horizontally.

The airborne system identified the missile model. The AIM 120-D long-range missile has a theoretical range of 160 kilometers. The actual range is doubled, and it is always 80 kilometers. It uses a dual-pulse engine and is extremely fast. It can reach Mach 4. 1.2 kilometers per second, covering the actual range in one minute.

But for Chen Fei, it was impossible for Old David to get stuck in the actual shooting range, and the time left for him was even shorter, even less than 40 seconds.

Gently push the control stick to get away from the missile. The F-22 "Raptor" trembles more. At this time, the height above the ground is about 54,000 feet. The thin air causes the engine efficiency to decrease and the climb speed to decrease. Not as fast as before.

Old David's launch of missiles at this time must be based on this.

wrong!

Chen Fei frowned, thought for a while, and pushed in another direction.

"hey-hey!"

Old David's faint laughter sounded on the public communication channel.

That’s right!

Skilled hunters often let their prey escape into traps they thought would be their way out. The direction just now seemed to have a greater chance of escaping the pursuit of the AIM 120-D long-range missile, but that was exactly what Old David wanted Chen Fei to do.

It's a pity that Chen Fei reacted immediately and corrected the direction in time.

"...beep...beep..."

The warning system had an additional sound, and the radar screen showed a second rapidly approaching light spot, and another AIM 120-D long-range missile outflanked it from the other direction.

The traditional tactics of the Federal Air Force, two-stage attack!

The American Federation used to have plenty of money, and this tyrant style of play could often put opponents into a panic. Coupled with the fact that early warning aircraft known as combat power multipliers were in the air nearby, the hit rate of this tactic was usually very impressive.

In a two-on-one situation formed by relying on missiles, even if the hit rate is only 50%, it is enough to determine the outcome of the battle.

The optimal solution is to stop climbing and convert altitude into speed, which can effectively increase the success rate of getting rid of two Mach 4 missiles.

But Chen Fei hesitated and continued to climb. Old David was waiting for him below.

The number of missiles does not depend on the number, but on who can hit them accurately.

At this time, the first AIM 120-D long-range missile had appeared within the visual range. Chen Fei released the jamming bombs without hesitation, and sold all the jamming bombs at once.

There is not much time left for him to make a move.
