Chapter 1227 The Fateful Showdown (1)
The Snake fighter was climbing rapidly, ready to meet the German fighter, while on the ground Safonov was running fast towards his fighter.
Since entering a state of war, they have fighter jets on standby every day, but today, in order to make room for American planes, they are not on standby at the end of the runway, but on the tarmac.
The biggest mistake they made today was not taking off to meet them. If they could meet them in the air and then protect them from landing, there would be no problem.
Safonov ran to his I-16 fighter jet, and in the air, a duel was quickly underway.
In order to train his pilots, Alcatel did not come down to attack himself, but let his pilots dive down from the sky, and he hovered above to observe.
When he got out of the clouds, he saw some problems. The planes that were landing on this runway had never been seen before!
In general aircraft, the nose is huge, because the high-power aero-engine will occupy almost half of the volume, but now, the other party's nose is very narrow, and the cockpit is forward. Never encountered, what kind of plane is this?
As a commander, Alcatel is well aware of the meaning of knowing oneself and knowing one another, and being in danger in a hundred battles. He is familiar with all Soviet fighter jets, but there is no such model.
After searching for a while in his brain, Alcatel gradually filtered the aircraft he had mastered, and came to a judgment that this aircraft, unlike the Soviets, was very similar to the Flying Snake of the American Bell Company!
Although he has long since left the United States, Alcatel is quite familiar with American military fighter jets. He does not know how many times he has turned over those intelligence materials.
The biggest feature of this flying snake fighter is its maneuverability, which is quite difficult to deal with at an altitude of 3,000 meters, especially its excellent horizontal maneuverability.
If it is an American fighter jet, then the inside of the plane might be an American flying old bird!
Thinking of this, Alcatel no longer hesitated, he pushed the control lever, and his fighter jet began to dive down, at the same time, he shouted in the radio: "Be careful, the dive attack is not hit, climb up immediately to get rid of, don't be on the horizontal plane. Get entangled!"
The FW190 is a full-airspace fighter, but only veterans can take full advantage of this fighter, and new pilots must grow up in the war.
Then, the German fighter's favorite play is of course a dive attack. If it misses a hit, it immediately climbs up to a high altitude. If the opponent does not catch up, it will wait for an opportunity to get rid of it.
When he heard the command from the captain in the headset, Hans-Woodrich was already piloting his own fighter jet, aiming at the fighter jet that was trying to climb in a dive.
Now, it's time to fire!
Woodrich pressed his button, only to hear the sound of tom tom, the 20mm cannon fired a tracer, and flew towards the enemy plane.
At this moment, the enemy plane that was still climbing, as if it had a premonition, actually rolled to the right side flexibly, and in the bombardment of this cannon, it actually retreated skillfully.
The cockpit visibility of the Flying Snake is quite good, and in air combat, more situations can be observed.
Roy is an old bird among old birds. He worked hard to climb, just to increase the energy of his plane, so that he could gain an advantage in the aerial dogfight. When he found the plane that was diving and shooting at him, he Predict the impact point of the opponent in advance, and then calmly avoid it.
Amidst the sound of the machine guns, there was a buzzing sound in the earphones. Woodrich didn't hear the commander's order. He only knew that in his usual flight training, his aerial target performance was the first. For the first time in actual combat, he missed the target.
How can this be!
Watching the opponent's plane roll and fly in the other direction, Woodrich immediately leveled the plane, trying to keep up with the opponent's rhythm, and attacked from behind with a tail-biting attack.
This kind of flight is also trained in normal times. Tail biting is one of the most common tactics in this era, and the aircraft behind have more opportunities. After the opponent turns, they only need to cut the radius to catch up. , you can shorten the distance and shoot calmly.
Just because it was diving down, Woodrich's plane was very fast, and the other party was still fleeing in a straight line, so, almost a few seconds away, Woodrich's plane was only a few hundred meters away from the other party.
Just when Woodrich was about to fire again, the other party seemed to realize that something was wrong, the wing rolled and began to turn.
The other party turns, and you can follow it!
When the distance is far, you can cut the radius to chase, but when the distance is particularly close, the radius cut is at risk, and it may rush to the front of the opponent.
Woodrich pushed the control lever to the left, and at the same time pushed the left rudder to the bottom with his left foot. He felt the blood in his whole body rushing up to his head. Such a big maneuvering overload action must be very strong.
He had already started to turn, but, in his field of vision, the other party's turning was still continuing, and the magnitude was greater. He glanced at his speedometer out of the corner of his eye, and Woodrich suddenly cried out in his heart. it is good.
He is too fast.
Every type of aircraft has its own minimum turning radius. Every pilot knows that the slower the speed of his aircraft, the smaller the turning radius. This is determined by the most basic formula of centripetal force.
The speed of the flying snake fighter in front has not been pulled up. I know that it is impossible to get rid of it by climbing. The performance of the FW190 is excellent, so it can only gamble in this way, betting that the opponent is better than itself. Turn slowly.
As expected.
The fighter behind it was also turning, but because of its speed, it was impossible for it to turn around at all.
The trajectory radius of the FW190 is much larger than that of the Flying Snake. From a distance, the two planes are quickly separated.
From Woodrich's point of view, as he watched helplessly as the opponent's fighter gradually veered away from in front of him, veered away, and finally left his front hemisphere, he knew in his heart that it was not good.
Relying on his excellent horizontal hovering ability, Roy has already circled behind the FW190, and now that the FW190 is hovering, the speed has also slowed down. In Roy's eyes, this is simply a perfect target.
on the ground.
"Quick, start the engine!" Safonov shouted to the ground crew in front of him.
