Chapter 1736 Evenly Matched (Plus 9)
The air defense range of the fleet has a lot to do with the speed of the fighters. The jets of later generations are fast and have a large combat radius, so the aircraft carrier can defend more airspace.
At the same time, since anti-aircraft missiles have been able to kill targets within 100 kilometers, carrier-based aircraft only need to defend against targets 100 kilometers away.
In the current era of propeller aircraft, aircraft carriers do not have such a large defensive range. Although they can attack targets 500 kilometers away, defense is absolutely impossible.
If it is to be effectively controlled, it is about 100 nautical miles, and now, the Americans are using the simplest and most effective offensive plan, saturation attack.
In the anti-ship missile era of later generations, how to attack the aircraft carrier formation is an eternal topic. One of the most famous schemes is saturation attack. As long as the number of anti-ship missiles of one's own side exceeds the defense channel of the other side, it can be overcome.
And now, the same applies. There are too many fighter jets from the United States. No matter how many fighter jets the German fleet takes off, there will always be fish that can’t be intercepted.
This requires follow-up to make up, and Lieutenant General Marshall has never done his best, always keeping stamina, also for making up.
Alcatel pulled the throttle stick to the rear, the engine made a huge roar, and the front propeller was turning rapidly, showing the shape of a three-blade propeller due to the visual persistence effect.
Alcatel felt his adrenaline secrete sharply, his entire body was in a state of extreme excitement, and the fighter plane in his hand seemed to be groaning in the same way.
The battle is finally here!
About 50 kilometers away from the formation, Alcatel saw the fighter jets that had just taken off, intercepting several flying targets in front, and one of them was trying to get rid of it and flew towards his side.
These planes, unlike anything I've seen before, have inverted seagull wings and four-bladed propellers!
Needless to say, the arrival of the other party must be the latest fighter jet. Alcatel quickly found the familiar technical information from his own brain, that is the F4U pirate of the US Navy, which also has an engine power of 2,000 horsepower. In various technical aspects, they can be compared with their own fighters.
Chess against opponents!
Alcatel operated his fighter jet and charged towards the opponent. Although he was flying head-on, Alcatel was not afraid at all. The exhibition is gradually getting bigger.
Alcatel took a deep breath, waited for the shot, and flew head-to-head, always the moment when the pilot's blood was the most bloody.
But the other party didn't.
After the opponent's fighter plane found Alcatel who came to intercept it, it immediately pulled the operating lever and began to climb.
Since the distance was still far away, although the opponent had exposed the belly of the aircraft, Alcatel was not completely sure to shoot the bullet into the opponent's belly, so he could only pull the lever and climb with the opponent.
If Alcatel does not climb, the opponent will fly over from his interception position. At the same time, Alcatel has confidence in the fighter in his hand. During the climb, he has not encountered an opponent, so he bites his tail and shoots down. The other party should be the most anticipated.
The pirates climbed first, then climbed after FW190. The two planes were in the sky and began to compete.
The engine in front was rumbling, and Alcatel's eyes never left the opponent. He followed the opponent's trajectory, climbing and spinning in a nearly vertical direction.
If you look at the trajectory, it's like two intertwined snakes. In professional terms, this is a scissor climb!
In addition to the level of the pilot, the more important thing is the power system of the fighter plane, because the thrust-to-weight ratio of the propeller plane will not exceed 1, so whoever runs out of power first will fall off first, then, it will be given to the rear. Falling people offer opportunities.
Nitrogen accelerated!
To catch up, Alcatel unleashed his own stunt after climbing upwards for half a minute, the engine roaring as nitric oxide was injected into the cylinders, adding extra power.
But then, Alcatel found that the situation was not good.
It is said that after he turned on the acceleration, the distance between the two parties should be close, but now, the distance has hardly changed, what does this mean?
The opponent has the same climb rate as his own. This is a pretty terrible fighter in the United States!
No wonder there are fish that slip through the net. The performance of this kind of fighter is quite good. It is impossible for the teammates who intercepted in front to intercept all of them.
How to do? Continue to climb?
If the opponent's motivation is equal to that of your own, then there is no point in continuing to climb. However, the one who falls first will inevitably become the opponent's target. At this time, it will only be a way to go to the dark and continue the contest!
See who stalls first!
Alcatel is the one who will never admit defeat. Now, the two planes are still climbing upwards. Driven by the acceleration of nitrogen gas, the speed has begun to slow down, and the pirates above have also begun to slow down.
The United States has a deep industrial heritage, and it has caught up with Germany in the field of propeller fighters in a short period of time. It has to be said that it is a miracle. The pirate fighter also uses nitrogen acceleration as an emergency power device, which can allow the engine to provide additional power. 100 horsepower power.
At the same time, the cockpit view of the pirate fighter is also good, as well as the rear-view mirror. At this time, when he saw the tail-biting fighter in the rear-view mirror, Major Saatchi was also nervous for a while.
How to do? Continue to climb like this? My plane was already shaking, and if it stalled and entered a terrible spin, it might crash.
During the training, the training instructor swears that this fighter is the most powerful, enough to throw off any opponent in the climb, now? It was also bitten by the other party tightly!
There was a slight sway on the control stick, and the efficiency of the rudder surface had begun to decrease. Major Saatchi could only bite the bullet and push the control stick.
The pirate fighter dived down.
Since you can't get rid of your opponent in the climb, you can just get rid of it in the dive. The dive is only about speed, not power.
The pirate fighter with the inverted seagull wings, like a light seagull, began to dive down, and at the back, when he saw him dive, Alcatel knew that his first victory after taking off today was coming. .
In terms of diving, there is no aircraft that can compare to the FW190!
Moreover, he didn't even need to dive at all. At the moment when the opponent turned from climbing to diving, he flashed in front of Alcatel's nose. Alcatel, who had a quick eye and a quick hand, pressed the cannon button at this moment.
"Tom tom tom!"
