Chapter 1734: Evenly matched 9)
The fleet's air defense range has a lot to do with the speed of the fighter jets. Later generations of jets have fast speed and large combat radius, so there is more airspace that aircraft carriers can defend.
At the same time, since air defense missiles have been able to kill targets within 100 kilometers, carrier-based aircraft can only defend against those within 100 kilometers.
In the current era of propeller aircraft, aircraft carriers do not have such a large defense range. Although attacking can attack targets 500 kilometers away, defense is absolutely not good.
If it is to be effectively controlled, it is about one hundred nautical miles. Now, the Americans use the simplest and most effective offensive plan, saturated attack.
In the era of anti-ship missiles in later generations, how to attack aircraft carrier formations is an eternal topic. One of the most famous solutions is saturation attack. As long as the number of anti-ship missiles on your own side exceeds the opponent's defense channel, you can conquer it.
And now, the same applies. There are too many fighter jets flying from the United States. No matter how many fighter jets the German fleet took off, there are always fish that can't be intercepted.
This requires subsequent final shots, and Lieutenant General Mashar has never tried his best and always retains his stamina, which is also for the final shot.
Alcatel pulled the throttle lever to the end, and the engine made a huge roar, and the propeller in front was rotating rapidly. Due to the visual retention effect, it took the shape of a three-blade propeller.
Alcatel felt his adrenaline being severely secreted, his whole body was in a state of extreme excitement, and the fighter in his hand seemed to moan like the same joyful moan.
The battle has finally arrived!
At about fifty kilometers away from the formation, Alcatel saw the fighter plane that had just taken off and was intercepting the targets flying in front of him. One of them was trying hard to get rid of it and flew towards his side.
These aircraft, unlike those seen before, are inverted seagull wings and four-blade propellers!
Needless to say, the other party must have arrived with the latest fighter. Alcatel soon found familiar technical information from his brain. It was the US Navy's F4U Pirate, which also has an engine power of 2,000 horsepower. I heard that in various technologies, it can be compared with its own fighter jets.
Chess meets the opponent!
Alcatel operated his fighter plane and rushed towards the other party. Although he was flying head-on, Alcatel was not afraid at all. His eyes were aimed at his sight and put the other party in the aura of movement. The other party's wingspan was gradually getting bigger.
Alcatel took a deep breath, waiting for the shooting, and flying head-on, which will always be the most bloody moment for the pilot to burst.
But the other party did not.
After the opponent's fighter plane discovered Alcatel who was coming to intercept, it immediately pulled the operating lever and began to climb.
Since the distance is still very far, although the other party exposed the belly of the machine, Alcatel was not sure to shoot the bullet on the belly of the machine. So he could only pull the operating rod and climb with the other party.
If Alcatel does not climb, the opponent will fly over from his interception position. At the same time, Alcatel has confidence in the fighter plane in his hand. During the climb, he has never encountered an opponent, so he bit his tail and shot down the opponent during the climb. It should be the most anticipated thing.
The pirates climbed first, fw190s climbed, and two planes were in the sky and began to compete.
The engine in front was rumbling, and Alcatel's eyes never left the other party. He followed the other party's trajectory, climbing and rotating in a nearly vertical direction.
If you look at the trajectory, it is like two intertwined snakes. If you use professional terms, this is scissor climbing!
In addition to the pilot's level, the more important thing is the power system of the fighter jet. Because the thrust-to-weight ratio of the propeller aircraft will not exceed 1, so whoever consumes all the power first will fall off first, and then it will provide opportunities for those who fall off later.
Nitrogen accelerates!
In order to catch up with the opponent, Alcatel opened his unique skill after climbing up for half a minute. As nitric oxide was injected into the cylinder, the engine roared, adding extra power.
But then, Alcatel found that the situation was not good.
It is said that after you turn on acceleration, the distance between the two sides should be close, but now, the distance has almost not changed. What does this mean?
The other party has the same climb rate as his own, which is a very terrifying fighter in the United States!
No wonder there is a fish that escapes the net. This kind of fighter has very good performance. It is impossible for all the teammates who intercepted the front.
What to do? Keep climbing?
If the opponent's motivation is comparable to that of your own, it is meaningless to continue climbing. However, if you fall first, you will inevitably become the opponent's target. At this time, you can only go one way to the dark and continue to compete!
See who stalls first!
Alcatel is a person who will never give in. Now, the two planes are still climbing upwards. Under the acceleration of nitrogen, the speed has also begun to slow down, and the pirates above have also begun to slow down.
The United States has a deep industrial heritage and 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 provide the engine with an additional power of hundreds of horsepower.
At the same time, the cockpit of the Pirate Fighter is also good, and there is also a rearview mirror. At this time, Major Sach was also nervous when he saw the tail-biting fighter behind from the rearview mirror.
What to do? Continue to climb like this? Your plane has already started to tremble. Once it stalls and enters a terrible tail spin, it may crash and crash.
When training, the training instructor swore that this fighter was the most powerful and was enough to get rid of any opponent during climbing. What about now? It was still bitten tightly by the other party!
A slight shaking came from the driving rod, and the efficiency of the rudder surface had begun to decrease. Major Saatchi could only bite his teeth and push the operating rod.
The Pirates dive down.
Since you can't get rid of your opponent during climbing, you might as well just get rid of your opponent during diving. The diving only compares speed and no need to compare power.
The pirate fighter with the wings of the inverted seagull began to dive down like a light seagull. In the back, when he saw him dive, Alcatel knew that his first result would be coming after taking off today.
If you compare diving, no aircraft can compare to fw190!
Moreover, there was no need to dive at all. Just as the opponent turned from climbing to dive, he flashed through the front of Alcatel's nose. Alcatel, who had quick eyes and hands, pressed the cannon button at this moment.
"Bangbangbangbang!"
